This is the third installment of the enjoyable Amish Marketplace series by Amy Clipston.

This book centers on Bethany Gingerich, who runs a coffee and donut stand at the Amish Marketplace. We have met Bethany and her three cousins, who also run various stands at the Amish Marketplace.

Bethany has customers Micah Zook and his grandfather, who visit her stand every Sat. morning. She develops a crush on handsome Micah, but isn’t sure how he feels about her. We learn that Micah has had much heartbreak in his life, and as he experiences more heartbreak in this book, Bethany wonders if she can be there for him and if he returns her feelings.

I enjoyed the book very much. It was a quick read. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy reading Amish books.

I receive a copy of this book from Zondervan and NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

Bethany has a Coffee booth in the Amish Marketplace and specializes in flavored coffees and her own donuts. Micah is one of her regular customers, coming in every Saturday with his Daadi to get a coffee and donut for each of them. Bethany has a serious crush on Micah and wishes he'd notice her. Micah works for his Daadi building Amish outdoor furniture and would like to branch out but his Daadi feels they have enough business. Micah knows they could do better, but Daadi is hiding something from Micah.

Amy Clipston has populated this book with a number of lively characters, but the sheer number of people made the book a bit hard for me to get into. It was a tough read to get through without a program to keep the characters straight. This wouldn't have been a problem if I had read the earlier books in this series closer to beginning this book. In a lot of series, the individual books can stand alone and not give the reader too much trouble, but this one depends heavily on the previous books in the series. The series is also similar to one written by Charlotte Hubbard, and since I've been reading both, I was easily confused.

Amy did provide a compelling issue to overcome for Bethany and Micah to come together as a couple, she also offered characters who were flawed and who recognized their flaws to bring healing into their own lives.

It's a four-star book that will entertain those who love Amish fiction. Zondervan and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This next installment in the Amish cousins saga is nothing less than expected. You don't have to have read the other novels prior to this one, but will love revisiting all of the past characters, with their weddings and babies, through this story. Bethany and Micah each carry their own issues, some more than others, but discover that they are better together. The epilogue really wraps it up super quickly, and I would have liked to see more of what happened between that and the last chapter, but understand that the author was respecting the reader's time.

I loved Bethany and Micha's story. It wasn't just about following God but an actual romance. Who knew there were so many flavors of coffee? Don't pass this book up
