Ideally enjoyed this book. I thought it was a slow start but once I got a couple chapters in, I could not put it down.

Andy and Jolene have many obstacles to overcome before they can be together, if they can be together.

This book will make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Thank you WaterBrook Multnomah Publishers, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

Jolene lost her parents to a flood when she was young and gave up her life with her fiance to keep her siblings together under one roof. Years later, after many interested men, Jolene has not found someone to steal her heart again. However, then Andy walks into her life. He takes up a job rehabilitating horses for an animal rescue and ends up working with Jolene because no one else is available to help him. However, Jolene misunderstands Andy's position as a grass widower (one where the spouse up and left but is still alive) and does not realize that he cannot remarry in the Amish Community. Stuck, these two make a path forward doing the best they can to not fall in love.

Compared to her past books, this entry in her repertoire seemed more raw and real. From the quick death of the Keim family parents in the first chapter to the struggle Ray (mentally delayed from being struck by lightning as a kid) has with himself and society, I felt I was reading a story from real-life. Cindy Woodsmall had me holding my breath to find out what would happen and cheering for the lovable well developed characters. The character arcs were engaging, and the ending was satisfying. The only problem I had was the plot was slow at times and stretched out. However, I highly recommend for romance lovers and fans of Amish fiction.

I loved this sweet, moving story of great loss and redemption. Everything was perfect about this book: The setting, the characters, and the plot. Jolene is a remarkable woman, and has become one of my favorite Amish characters . Cindy Woodsmall did an excellent job with this story. It’s a keeper and one I will read again.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Heart Shattering emotion filled faith is what A Love Undone gives right from the get go. Cindy always has a way with words and can make me fall in love with her Amish romance stories in an instant.
Andy and Jolene both have went thru heartache but held on strong to their faith when they come together they are just what one another needs. The past isn't always easy to look at but the future is always nice to peak at.
