Description

A Season of Hope Is Coming 

For the past two years Belinda King, along with her two grown daughters and teenage son, has been struggling to keep the family greenhouse running. Despite disconcerting events that have threatened to put them out of business, they have survived two growing seasons. And now Belinda can focus on the two suitors vying for her attention. Herschel Fisher, a new acquaintance, makes her feel relaxed, and Monroe Esh, an admirer from her past, reminds her of her youth.

But just when Belinda thinks she can choose between her suitors, life throws more trials her way. Her son, Henry, becomes bitter about the idea of her dating anyone, and attacks on the greenhouse start again.

When can Belinda hope to experience the peace and love her weary heart longs for?

Love the third book in this series called the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series! It has been interesting to follow along with Belinda and her children through the tragedy of losing their three family members in the first book of the series and how the family dynamic has evolved as they work through their grief and learn to live their lives on a daily basis.

In this book, Belinda (the mom) is still being pursued by Monroe Ash. Monroe has had a "crush" on Belinda since before she married Vernon (her husband who was killed in the accident). Along with Monroe, Hershel Fisher also becomes an admirer of Belinda's and wants to pursue her.

While all of this is going on, there are still continued threats being made against Belinda and her family and their livelihood which is the greenhouse. Her teenage son and her two grown daughters have been working alongside Belinda at the greenhouse trying to make a living for the family. In this third book of the series, the person who has been making the threats is finally revealed. For me it was a huge surprise but a nice surprise as a result of the circumstances which prevail once everything is revealed.

Thanks to the publisher, Shiloh Run Press and Net Galley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion. GREAT book!

I was going to wait until closer to the publication date but I couldn't help myself. I just had to open it and start reading! Oh my!
Y'all! This book is full of surprises!
Brunstetter has once again woven another tale about Sylvia, Henry and Belinda. I hate saying goodbye but their story is so fascinating and to see what God has orchestrated for this family is truly amazing!
I've made some wonderful friends from the first book in this series and new ones in this last book.
My heart in a way goes out to Virginia. You see, when I first met her I didn't like her for more reasons than one. I can relate to her on one thing and that's our legs. I have a bum leg too and I felt the pain that Virginia experienced. It's not fun. It hurts!
The mystery that made this series was a good one. I was very surprised when I found out who done it. I never never expected it to be him. Just wow!
Brunstetter sure knows how to keep us in suspense! I never saw that one coming. Blew me away!
I'm gonna end my review with a favorite Bible verse John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him will have ever lasting life. That's a wonderful promise. Ain't so?
I am sad to see this series end but as always I'm looking forward to see what Brunstetter comes out with next!
Definitely 5 stars on this sweet book. Kept my attention the whole way through.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own..

The author, Wanda Brunstetter, has another hit with this third book in the series, The Amish Greenhouse Mystery series.

We have followed Belinda and her family through the first two books as they work to rebuild their lives after the deaths of Belinda’s husband, her son-in-law and son in a buggy accident which happened on her birthday. It has been a hard adventure as she and her children work hard and struggle to keep the family greenhouse open. Mysterious actions abound as someone tries to get her to sell the greenhouse and move.

Mystery, new relationships, faith, actions to help those around them, and love all contribute to the beauty of this book. I could not put it down until I finished it in order to see how all of these would be resolved. I highly recommend this book to all lovers of the Amish genre.

Thanks to Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Someone are bad to them: left notes and calls to sell home and greenhouse soon, it's so scary! who do that to them? why?
Lovely plain, realistic, mistery story. I recommend it, enjoy!

I love Wanda's books. Her stories are informative with a side of suspense thrown in. The end of this mystery was a twist I didn't see coming.

The Robin’s Greeting is conclusion to the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series by Wanda Brunstetter. The story of the King family continues as each family member seeks to move forward with their lives two years after the devastating tragedy that left their family broken. It is interesting to see how the mystery satisfyingly unfolds. I loved this book and the series and highly recommend all of them to those fond of Amish fiction.

OMG, Awesome, this was the absolute best, never even saw that coming, I really thought it was the ex-boyfriend doing it or was paying someone to do it. Still haven’t figured out where Maude fit in. One of the questions at the end of the book was if you would agree to do as Belinda did, I gave it a lot of thought and I thought initially I would have gotten the police involved but in the end I think I would have done as she did. Truly wonderful read.

I am sad to see this series coming to an end.. This series has kept me on the edge of my seat and I the characters have endeared to my heart. Many things have changed and in this book a new love, a shocking surprise and we find out who has been causing the vandalism to the greenhouse and property. I was completely shocked at who was doing it and you will be too. This book is about starting over and learning to offer forgiveness. Thank you Wanda for a wonderful Series. Hope to see the characters in another series.

The Robin’s Greeting is a fitting conclusion to the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series. The chronicle of the King family continues as each family member seeks to move forward with their lives two years after the devastating tragedy that shook their family. The plot flows smoothly and steadily as they face relationship challenges and the return of threats and vandalism to their property. Although I guessed the identity of the culprit after the first book, it was still interesting to see how the mystery satisfyingly unfolds. One big revelation took me completely by surprise! I appreciated the spiritual truths that permeated the story relating to salvation and forgiveness, and I loved the endearing characters in this series as God worked transforming their lives and healing relationships. The sweet middle-age romantic triangle is entertaining and at times humorous! This book works well as a stand-alone since Ms. Brunstetter once again provides rich details from previous books to bridge the stories. I do, however, recommend reading all three books in order to get the full effect of the story. I loved this book and the series and highly recommend it especially for lovers of Amish fiction.

The Robin’s Greeting by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the third book in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series. There are finally answers to many of mysterious goings on around the greenhouse Belinda and her family own on their property. True to the title there is also a pesky robin, but is he trying to convey a message to them? There is plenty of mystery and downfalls along with happy occasions in this story.
I enjoyed this book as well as the previous ones. You can read this as a stand-a-lone but I highly recommend reading the first two books as they are excellent also and the three come together in a wonderful story. This book is very well written with endearing characters that feel like family. The story line draws you into the lives of all the characters and holds you till the end. It flows smoothly from beginning to end. I give this book 5 of 5 stars and recommend it. I have read many of Wanda E. Brunstetter’s books and they never disappoint; this one is certainly no exception.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review..

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I absolutely loved this book and would give it more than 5 stars! I have read every book in this series and have enjoyed every single one. There is romance, humor, mystery and some sadness. I read many books and whenever a new one in the series came out, I was able to just jump right in and continue with the story. It was like visiting old friends!

I have read all three books in the Amish Greenhouse Mysteries series. Each book is a wonderful read but to fully understand the backstories in each, they should be read in order. The King family has suffered misfortune and heartbreak but find the faith and strength to continue their greenhouse business. The Robin's Greetings will bring the family's story full circle, exposing those who continue to harm the family. A beautiful series with well written and developed characters. A book written by Wanda Brunstetter is guaranteed to be a 5 star read that can be shared with everyone you know.

The Robins Greeting by Wanda E. Brunstetter is book three in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series. This is an amazing story that brings the characters from the previous stories back together and fills in areas I have been wondering about.

After losing her husband, son and son-in-law in a tragic accident just two years earlier, Belinda is unsure of moving forward with her life. She has two men seeking a relationship with her. Not only is she struggling with how she feels about a second marriage, how her children will feel but also what will happen with her business.

I have really enjoyed this series. It’s enjoyable to see the family grow and change. The writing is so clear and good it feels like you are going back to visit good friends. I appreciate the struggles Belinda’s youngest child is going through with trying to find out who is stealing from them and who is leaving threatening notes as he deals with his feeling of his mother moving forward with her life. I like how the story pulled in the English neighbor and how they changed through out this book and eventually asked Jesus into their lives.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Barbour Publishing through NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This was a wonderful conclusion to the Greenhouse series. I hate to see the series end and will miss these characters. The story flowed beautifully and I didn’t want to put it down.
Many thanks to Barbour Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wanda Brunstetter was the first author whose writing lured me into being hooked on Amish fiction several years ago. Her writing just keeps getting better and better! I have really enjoyed this series and also how it was interwoven with characters from the Prayer Jar series, another series I really enjoyed by Wanda Brunstetter. In The Robin's Greeting, readers are drawn into a deeper look at Belinda's life as a widow running her family's greenhouse business and dealing with attention from two very different men interested in courting her. Yet throughout, she must also deal with the emotional difficulties her teenage son faces, and on trying to find out who is responsible for continued vandalism of their property. The Robin's Greeting is a compelling tale that I will soon be re-reading, something I always do with favorite books. Belinda and her family feel like such relatable characters, As a reader I feel drawn into their home and their lives. That is a clear sign of how incredible Ms. Brunstetter is as a storyteller. I am very grateful to have been given an opportunity to read and review this book by the publisher.

The Robin's Greeting is the third book in a series that ties the whole story up nicely. I enjoyed reading the previous two books, and this book didn't disappoint. Belinda, the mother in the story has found that two men are interested in her, even though as a recent widow she has no desire to marry anyone. As time goes on and she spends time with both men, she begins to have feelings toward one man, and he has fallen in love with her. During all of this time, somebody is leaving threatening messages and vandalizing their property. Who is it that wants them to close their greenhouse and move away? The answer was surprising, and the story a great one. Good , clean story!

I am really going to miss these characters since this is the final book in this series. I loved how Belinda learns to handle her grief over the death of her husband and one of her sons. Belinda, along with her two daughters and her son, get better at handling life and begin to find love again. I also like Virginia even though she wasn’t always pleasant. I liked how they solved the mystery of the vandalism around their home and greenhouse. I received a copy of this book from the author and Barbour publishing for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

The Robin’s Greeting by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the third and final Amish Greenhouse Mystery. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. The Robin’s Greetings continues the story of the Belinda King and her four children along with their families (Ezekiel, Amy, Sylvia, and Henry). They miss their loved ones who died two years prior in a terrible accident, but they are ready to move forward. Amy and Jared are happily married while Sylvia is courting Dennis. Belinda misses Ezekiel and his family, but she knows they are doing well in Clymer, New York where Ezekiel is now a minister. I thought The Robin’s Greeting was well-written with developed characters and steady pacing. I have enjoyed getting to know the King family and I have been dying to find out if I have correctly identified the guilty party. It is nice to see Sylvia finding love once again. There were some unexpected revelations near the end of the book (many of you will go “Oh, that’s right” like I did). I did find the ending a little rushed, but that did not hinder my enjoyment. I found it to be touching and uplifting. I also liked how the robin theme was prevalent through the whole story (a robin symbolizes happiness, hope, and new beginnings). The Robin’s Greeting was a sweet book and a charming series. Wanda E. Brunstetter did not disappoint with this heartwarming tale.
