Amish Brides of Pinecraft is quickly becoming one of my favorite Amish series. A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN by Shelley Shepard Gray is a sweet return to Pinecraft, Florida. We get to catch up with old friends, and we even get to make new ones. Be prepared to laugh and cry as you are reading—and that is why I love Shelley Shepard Gray's stories. She pulls at my heart, and I have no control over my emotions. I love when an author does that to me.

A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN is like an Amish Brady Bunch. An Amish widower, Jay, with three boys and an Amish widow, Emma, with three girls. Not to mention a naughty beagle named Frankie who brings them all together. Frankie has a love for pizza and he can smell it from blocks away. The girls are out searching for Frankie after he dug under the fence and escaped and they find him at the Orange Blossom Inn where he has ruined and eaten all of the pizza that belonged to Jay and his boys. Emma is instantly connected to Jay since they are both in the same exact situation. Single and raising three kids. Can they let go of their grief and move on with each other? What about their families? Can they become one big blended family and be happy?

Shelley Shepard Gray is a fabulous writer and one of my favorites. A WEDDING AT THE ORANGE BLOSSOM INN is exactly why I devour her books. I always feel good when I'm reading her stories. There are recipes included, and to me that is like an added gift. I love how Shelley keeps us up-to-date with our favorite characters and introduces us to new friends in each book in this wonderful series. The characters all seem so real and believable that you can't help but cheer them on as they try to put their lives back together.

Book Summary

Beloved bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray returns with the third book in her Amish Brides of Pinecraft series—a story of second chances for two young single parents...and the wedding that brings them together.

Emma Keim was heartbroken when her husband Sanford passed away, leaving her to raise three young daughters alone. In the years since, her relatives have made it no secret that they expect Emma to remain a widow, mourning Sanford indefinitely. But when she meets Jay Hilty—a widower with three young sons of his own—Emma is delighted to have a new friend who understands her struggles. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s also handsome and kind. Still, Emma is dismayed that her family is so opposed to their friendship—and the idea of it ever becoming anything more. She honors her husband’s memory every day, but is she destined to be alone forever?

Jay knows that few people his age understand what it’s like to lose a spouse, and Emma’s gentleness with his boys stirs something in his heart that’s been quiet for far too long. But when Jay’s oldest son becomes engaged to a local woman, suddenly Jay, Emma, and their children are swept up in wedding preparations. Witnessing his son’s joy, Jay wonders if it’s time for him to move forward, too, and find happiness again.

Jay wants to court Emma in earnest, but Emma’s relatives remain troubled by the prospect of her moving on. Once again, love has come to Pinecraft. But can these two parties of four become a happy, healthy family of eight?
