This book was such a joy to read, the characters in the story were relatable.

Jake inherited a bookstore from his grandfather whomhe adored. Eva is a young woman who works with Jake. Yvonne is a young lady who comes to Montgomery Indiana to buy a rare book for a client that has asked her to research and find and buy foragreat amount of money. When she locates it at Jake's Bookstore she attempts to buy it from him. He isn't selling because he made a promise to hisgrandfather toNEVER sell the book. After numerousattempts via the phone to purchase the book from Jake she decides to go meet Jake in person and try to persuade him to sell the book. After she meets Jake she finds herself attracted to this Amish owner. She starts questioning her upcoming marriage to Trevor and her future.

Since Yvonne is so interested in this book, it causes Jake to find out what all the fuss is about with this book so he decides to try to read it. He and Eva set out to read it together. Eva is hoping that Jake will "notice" her as a woman instead of a young girl that he employed years earlier. And so the story begins with many twists and turns. I didn't want to put the book down.

There was a fun surprise with reconnecting with the sisters Lizzie and Ester from her previous series.

This story exudes faith, salvation, and friendship. One of Beth's best!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from thepublisher and author . Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is the first in a new series by Beth Wiseman, titled Amish Bookstore. I enjoyed this book so much as there were so many things that happen during the book that keeps your undivided attention from the beginning to the end.

Bookstore owner, Jake Lantz, his employee, Eva who is attracted to Jake, and book buyer, Yvonne Wilson are the main characters in this book. Yvonne comes to Montgomery, Indiana to purchase a book for an unbelievable price that Jake owns. He had promised his grandfather that he would never sell the book. Just what is in this book that makes it so powerful and worth so much money? You will have to read this book to find out.

It is a book you will not want to put down until you have finished it to see how the relationships develop and what the power is that this book holds.

An unrequited romance and a rare book . . .

That phrase is a perfectly fitting description of The Bookseller's Promise. But if you think that description sums up the whole story, I'm here to tell you that it's not even close.

Yvonne Wilson is on a mission to acquire an extremely rare book, and she finds out that an Amish bookstore actually has the book. However, when Yvonne contacts Jake Lantz, the bookstore owner, she is shocked when he informs her that the book is not for sale. Because Yvonne is not one to give up, especially where a large payout is involved, she decides to travel to Indiana so that she can speak directly to Jake and get him to change his mind.

Jake owns the bookstore that had been his grandfather's, and Eva Graber has worked with him ever since she was fifteen years old. While Eva would like Jake to see her as more than just his employee, he seems a tad bit slow in the romance department and doesn't quite get the message. And that is where a story about an unrequited romance and a rare book begins. It's also the beginning of how Yvonne, Jake and Eva's paths cross and merge together, which create a beautiful story.

While I loved Jake and Eva right from the start, I struggled with feeling the same way about Yvonne. However, as I got to know the three of them better, I completely changed my mind about Yvonne. Then when a curve ball was thrown into the story, the three characters took over my heart completely.

The Bookseller's Promise is a true gem of a story. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I wanted Jake and Eva to find each other, but I really wanted to know what was in that special book. Author Beth Wiseman flawlessly blended the themes of romance, intrigue, and faith throughout the story, and she did so in a way where the themes perfectly complement each other and do not overshadowed one another. It was a perfect combination as is, but it became even more perfect with some unexpected events that added so much more depth to the story and made me say, "Wow! I did not see that coming!" I highly recommend you read it for yourself and when you do, you'll understand why.

What a great beginning to An Amish Bookstore Series that leaves you wanting to go back now. In my opinion this is Ms Wiseman at her best as I became immersed in the old bookstore and a rare book that seemed fascinating to be able to read. I loved that the Amish main characters seemed playful and fun even with the English main character. You even get a few visits to the bookstore by my favorite characters from a previous series. Lizzie and Esther are beloved and their antics crack me up especially when they get involved in others love life. I enjoyed this book tremendously as the tug and pull relationships were spot on and Yvonnes Faith journey made me cry. I highly recommend even if you are not an Amish Fiction lover as this is not typical and predictable. It runs a gamut of unexpected situations that keeps you reading way to late.

I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

I loved this book. I loved the connections between the various characters in the book and some unexpected scenes that happened. Yes, this was a very engaging book and it is hard to put this one down. Have to keep reading to see what's next, because you can't be too certain!

I enjoyed the Christian themes throughout and the character growth. The characters were well-developed and the non-Amish character, Yvonne was an important part of the story. Their exchanges were very believable and the storyline was new and fresh. I would have to say, this book is a winner. Can't wait for the next in the series!
