After moving to Wells Landing, widow Charlotte Burkhart and her family experience many changes. First her daughter marries then her mother in law which leaves Charlotte at loose ends. When widower Glenn Esh comes to town, Charlotte feels pulled in that she should marry him. Things take a turn when Charlotte finds a bundle on her doorstep. Charlotte is compelled to raise the child while Glenn has other plans. What is a woman to do? Neighbor and good friend, Paul Brenneman, sees a beautiful woman and a sweet child. Will he be able to convince Charlotte that they could be good together? I love how this story shows the sweetness a child can bring to ones life. It shows how even though we may make up our mind one way, if God has another plan.... I love this whole series. We may visit it with different characters but seeing our old friends is always a pleasure. I look forward to the next story. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

I loved being back in Wells Landing with characters we've grown to love. It's nice to be reunited and see where their paths have taken them. A NEW LOVE FOR CHARLOTTE is Charlotte's story and while thinking how she wants her life to be going forward, since she feels left behind by others, she doesn't always see what's right in front of her. Will she get the life she hopes for or are there surprises in store for her?

This is the eleventh book in the series and it doesn't get old. The characters have a depth to them and live their lives prayerfully with God guiding them. There are a lot of Bible verses and prayers to lead them in the right direction or give them a sign that what they are doing is right. Glen is not from their district and when Charlotte sets her sights on him it seemed to be a disaster in the making. I loved the addition of the baby Amber that Charlotte and Nadine are caring for. Even Goldie, Charlotte's dog, is included in the storyline nicely and plays a major role. Paul, their neighbor, is always there to lend a hand and it doesn't hurt that he lives across the field. The story has multiple storylines that are woven together nicely. There are twists and turns to the story along with neighbors, family, friends, the Amish way of life, prayers, lots of baking, puzzle nights, surprises, caring and love. There was nice closure especially with the ending that takes place two months later but I wish it was a little lengthier. The cover is very serene and whet my appetite to delve right in.

Ms. Lillard is an author whose books I always enjoy. I hope we get to return to Wells Landing since there seems to be more stories to tell. I look forward to reading whatever she pens next.

I rated the book 4.5 stars but rounded to 5 stars here and on other sites.

I was so excited to see another Wells Landing book by Amy Lillard. It's not too often you see an Amish book series continue this long with this many books. You know what though, I am so glad that this one is. I have read every single book in this series and it's such a beautiful thing because I start into a book in this series and I have the assurance of already knowing the characters and their personalities ,just like a few best friends then we get to meet a few new characters in each book and oh look a few new friends for us are popping up.
A widow woman thinks her daughter will be a companion for her in her later years but the daughter shocks everyone by getting married. Feeling out of sorts and lonely Charlotte should be happy the widower,Fancy Amish man Glenn Esch has set his mind to marry her.
She doesn't see this a presenting a happy life for herself but feels she must go along with it.
Glenn has raised his children, they are grown and gone with children of their own now.
When a baby in a basket is mysteriously placed on Charlotte's porch she thanks God and her lucky stars and knows it's just what she needs. Glenn doesn't see it this way.
There is another man in the picture who knows his sweet neighbor Charlotte is just the blessing he needs in his life but he hangs back, after all Glenn has already made his declaration of how to feels about Charlotte but not the baby.
Can he possibly have a chance with this woman who holds the key to his happiness?
Wonderful,wonderful book, so heartwarming. Highly recommended!

Awe inspiring book that about having courage to let go and the courage to accept things that change. Charlotte finds love when she least expects it.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Author and I am under no obligation to leave a positive review.

A New Love for Charlotte is a sweet Amish romance story by Amy Lillard. I enjoy reading this genre and I was not disappointed in this story of a woman who had begun to wonder what was ahead for her. Even though part of a series, A New Love for Charlotte can easily be read as a stand-alone book. I liked the characters, especially Charlotte's neighbor Paul, a considerate, caring man who truly cares for Charlotte. But Charlotte's got her mind set on Glenn. Will she be able to see that sometimes things we are looking for can be found right next door? This is a charming romance about love, loss, family, and faith. Readers who enjoy that kind of story will not want to miss this one. I was given a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.

I wasn't sure I was going to warm up to Charlotte in this story. I had read 2 other stories which had her character involved and I just wasn't a fan of hers. However, this book opened my eyes to who Charlotte really was plus her needs and insecurities. I truly felt bad for her as she faced loneliness and other uncertainties. I am so glad her eyes were opened to see a true friend who stood by her when she needed it most!

Readers who have been following the Wells Landing series will know that the last two books before this one followed the lives of Charlotte’s daughter, Jenna, and Charlotte’s mother-in-law, Nadine. Well, it is Charlotte’s turn to find her happily-ever-after in this novel. However, it was not an easy road at all.

When the book opened, Charlotte was a bit overwhelmed with life. She struggled with sadness about the thought of living alone and never having a chance to have another baby of her own. All of this landed Charlotte in a relationship with a man named Glenn. A man who was clearly not a good match for Charlotte. Glenn and Charlotte simply had nothing in common and the whole relationship felt forced. What didn’t feel forced was Charlotte’s friendship with her neighbor, Paul. I really enjoyed seeing the two of them together.

Charlotte’s attachment to the abandoned baby was very sweet. Her love for the baby was evident in how she cared for her and in how she tried to make decisions that were for the good of the child. I really enjoyed seeing Paul and Charlotte together with the baby. They were both so caring toward her. This book was a sweet addition to the series.

This story is the third book in the Wells Landing series that revolves around the Burkhart family and eleventh in the series. A year ago, widow Charlotte and her daughter Jenna moved to Wells Landing, Oklahoma to be near Nadine, their widow mother-in-law and grandmother. Jenna is married to Buddy Miller and the two are very happy and love each other dearly. Nadine has a beau in Amos Fisher and they will probably marry soon. Charlotte is feeling the pain of being alone even though Nadine is living with her. She wants to be loved too. She sets her sights on Glenn Esh, a visitor to their church meeting, and the two set out to get to know each other after she invites him to their home for a meal. Her best friend Paul has feelings for Charlotte but is hesitant to say anything. Charlotte would love to have another child and feels that her prayers are being answered when someone leaves a baby on her porch one night. But then things are not fitting together just right. Charlotte is determined that God will answer her prayers but are they her wishes or God's? I felt Charlotte's pain and yet was frustrated with her at times. She is a very stubborn, strong woman. There is a cast of recurring realistic characters with funny, sweet, sad, and happy moments. Nadine and Charlotte have a funny relationship where they argue but also support each other. This is a good addition to the series and I was pleased with the ending.
I received a complimentary ARC from Kensington Books through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine only.

A New Love for Charlotte by Amy Lillard is a very interesting story.

Charlotte is a widow who lives with her mother-in-law. Charlotte is determined to marry Glenn Esh and begin a new family with Glenn and a precious baby that has been left on her doorstep. Unfortunately, Glenn does not seem to agree with Charlotte’s plan.

Charlotte’s neighbor, Paul Brenneman, is I love with Charlotte and the baby, but he is only looked upon as Charlotte’s best friend.

When Charlotte finds out that baby Amber can only stay with her until a forever home is found, she prays for God’s guidance.

We are show that with God, all things are possible.

This is a 5-star book all the way.

I was given an ARC by Zebra publishers and was not required to give a positive review.

Pre-order yours today.

None are so blind as those you do not see, I may possibly have worded that wrong, but it fits. I was rooting for Paul from the beginning and so it seems was everyone else. Charlotte was looking for love but didn’t realize it was right across the field. I loved this book, I laughed and cried while reading it, I will and have recommended to friends I think the story is beautiful

This is the 11th book in the Wells Landing series, but this can be read alone. My opinion of Charlotte was much better with this read, she is impulsive, but caring and has a lot of love to give.
Her daughter Jena is back along with her husband Buddy, and yes they each had their own book, along with her mother-in-law Nadine.
We meet Charlotte new loves, and yes there are more than one, and more than two, but you will have to turn the pages to see them.
I am hoping for more in this series, and I love being updated on past reads with the recurring characters.
Come and join Charlotte as she tries to find a purpose for her life, and ends up with more than she expected!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.

This is another wonderful read by Amy Lillard. You can't go wrong choosing one of her Amish stories. They are always so good. I have read the other books in this series and I have loved getting to know all the characters that carry through in the various books.
It was a great book, I loved the story and can't say enough good things about it. You will love it! Charlotte has some decisions she needs to make and this book identifies with the fact that God has his own timing for things and often we need to be patient for things to come together for her. This book shows many feelings of love and family.

I received an ebook copy from the author and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.

Let me start off by saying that cutie pie Amber stole my heart. I love babies. I miss having one around the house since mine flew the chicken coup.
I enjoy this series because of the life lessons that Lillard instills in them. I like knowing that all of her characters aren't perfect by any means and I especially felt their feelings across the pages coming out at me.
Lillard I feel writes all of her stories from her heart and that is what makes her books special to me. I love it when an author writes from the heart.
I know just how Charlotte feels. I'm experiencing it right now myself and I don't like it either. I know children need to grow up and do what we taught them to do but it's oh so hard!!!
However; its as God intended for it to be. He has a plan for all of us.
I love a good and devoted friend through good times and bad. Those are certainly hard to find. When you do, keep them. It's why Paul is my hero. We need more like him in real life.
This is a wonderful read and once again I hated to say goodbye to my friends in Wells Landing but I am hoping to return soon!
I highly recommend it. 5 stars
My thanks to Kensington publishers for a copy of this eBook. I was NOT required to write a positive review and all opinions are my own.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I just could not finish. Just seemed like a teen romance model.

"There is none so blind as those who will not see," is the perfect sentiment for this book. The eleventh in the Well's Landing series has Charlotte eager to marry but when the unexpected lands on her doorstep, things may change. Readers of this series will recognize characters from previous books but new readers will be able to still enjoy this novel. My favorite character is Paul, the steadfast loyal neighbor. This is not my favorite in the series but it does have some valuable lessons.

I was given this book to read by two sources. I first received it from NetGalley which is a wonderful way to read upcoming books before they are in the libraries and stores. Thank you to the publishers that share these books and authors it helps us discover new and interesting reads that we may not have had a chance or would have chosen to read. The second way I received the book is that I am an ARC reader for Amy Lillard. I am totally in awe of how she brings all her characters together and continues to have us see our old friends from other books and meet new friends in each story. I am reviewing this book for both groups.

Oh my goodness Amy Lillard has done it again. We started the saga with Jenna and then Nadine and now we see how GOD can bring joy to Charlotte even though she did not see what she thought she saw.
Amy has a way of bringing all her characters to life and you actually feel as if you are inside the story. Since we have been inside this story two time and are now entering a third it is like coming home after being gone on a vacation and really appreciating the area you know.
Our townspeople are all there and we meet up with them again and meet new characters that we get to know as well as other mentioned characters that we now will know better.
Amy, thank you for all you have given us over the years, excited to see and read the next story that you have available for us.

God's plan. It is a wonderous thing. How complete, how perfect. "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

I have read several books on the Wells Landing Community and I have come to feel that I am part of it. When Charlotte and her daughter and mother-in-law moved into the community, many changes came about in the previous books which left Charlotte feeling alone. In a tight knit community, the aloneness can be overwhelming. Charlotte is overwhelmed by her emotions of being alone as her family moves on. Her daughter with her marriage, and her mother-in-law with her up and coming marriage. When a new fancy Amish man comes visiting, Charlotte takes it as a sign that God wants this man for her. However, this is another man on the side that has become Charlotte's very best friend Paul. Her neighbor Paul who has been coming around for awhile. Helping her out, listening to her, and seeing her for who she really is. With humor, humility, and patience, Paul gives her the space she needs to see love bloom. Love becomes who can I live without.

Charlotte soon learns about waiting for God's timing and what truly is important when a "bundle" is left at her door. A purpose is given to her that has love written all over it.

A special thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

Charlotte's story is full of emotions and you can feel every one of them. You can't help but fall in love with sweet little Amber. This is a wonderful faith filled book that you don't want to miss. Thank you Kensington Books - Zebra via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I have not read any of the other books in this series so I came in to it being thrown a lot of names. Once I understood who was who the story was enjoyable.

Charlotte is a 43 year old widow who lives with her mother in law. Charlotte is friends with two men. Paul is her neighbor and is her best friend. Glenn is the man she meets at church that she wants to marry. Charlotte has one daughter who is married but would still like to have another child.


I felt in the beginning that Charlotte always was complaining. The story also moved a little but slow for me. I did enjoy the aspects of foster care and the puzzle nights that they enjoyed.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

A solid 4 stars! This was such a sweet story about a woman trying to find purpose and love in her life again after losing her husband many years ago, fearing she will be alone and not know what to do with her life.

I will admit - when I first started reading about Charlotte, she was not my favorite character but as I grew to read and learn more about her and see her grow through her faith in the Lord, I found myself growing to love her too.

My favorite part of this story include the faith aspects, scriptures, amish setting and all of the scenes of Charlotte with sweet baby Amber. Those moments touched my heart over and over and many times I found myself tearing up for what she was going through — not knowing what the future for her life but having the faith in God to see her through it no matter what.

I also loved the relationship between Charlotte and her Mother-in-Law Nadine. She is a true example of a friend that I think we all want in our life.

Paul is such a true gentleman. I was rooting for him the entire time. I felt the storyline with Glenn dragged on a little longer than I wanted, but ultimately I loved the ending.

I really enjoyed this book. Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for a free advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.
