    About this audiobook

    All the color and variety of a quaint Amish shop in a charming collection of novellas by four of your favorite authors. Feel free to come in and browse!   Love Birds by Amy Clipston
      While Ellie Lapp and her mother are still mourning the loss of her brother, Seth, Ellie starts working at one of the gift shops in town. Seth's friend Lloyd is talented at carving wooden birds, but his father disapproves and expects him to take over the family farm someday. Ellie sees the beauty in Lloyd's creations and insists Lloyd sell the birds in the gift shop where she works. As Ellie and Lloyd spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for one another, but she accidentally betrays his trust. Will she lose any hope of a future with him?   A Bid for Love by Kathleen Fuller
      Every week, Hannah Lynne brings her home-churned butter to the local market. And every week, Ezra stops by to purchase some. Hannah Lynne knows not to read too much into it - Ezra is a confirmed bachelor and barely even glances her way, despite any hope to the contrary. But when Ezra bids an exorbitant amount to win the quilt she had her heart set on, Hannah Lynne can't stop her heart from taking over her mind. Could Ezra finally be in the market for love?   Sweeter Than Honey by Kelly Irvin
      Shattering a jar of pickled beets wasn't the impression Isabella hoped to make on her first trip to the local Combination Store of Bee County, Texas. But as embarrassed as she was by the accident, she didn't think it warranted the frosty reaction from the handsome manager of the store, Will Glick. As she soon learns, though, Will's heart has been broken one too many times. And now, for some reason, Isabella finds herself determined to be the one to repair that broken heart and renew his faith in love.   Love in Store by Vannetta Chapman
      Stella Schrock works at the Old Mill in Nappanee, Indiana, with new employee David Stoltzfus, a recent widower. When strange happenings begin occurring around town, it seems as if someone wants to close the mill. Stella and David have to work together to solve the mystery of what is happening at the Old Amish Mill - and in the process, they might just find that God has more in store for their future than they would ever have dreamed possible.

      I love these novella collections - just love them.
    • 5/5
      An Amish Market consists of 4 novellas under this one book and their storyline has a part or association with the working lives of their respective Amish communities, while focusing on the love story of the main couple. Each novella have its own charm and sweetness that ranges from young love to burnt love to love in time. I find them aptly chosen in compilation for this collection because they are so different, yet so similar in the theme of finding love in unexpected ways. The authors, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, Kelly Irvin and Vannetta Chapman are all popular authors of Amish stories, and if you've never read any of their works, you'll know why you must after reading their respective stories in An Amish Market. Even each of the novella's title was well selected. You'll understand once you read the story, and appreciate how thoughtful these authors are, down to the last detail, including the title selection.I thoroughly enjoyed each novella, starting with Love Birds by Amy Clipston. Though I find Ellie a tad bit immature in her handling of Lloyd's wishes, her shy personality and background, having been taken care of by her brother and parents since young, makes it understandable. A story of forgiveness, respecting elders and understanding compassion for others, Love Birds is one sweet start."God gave you that talent, and He wants us to share our talents with others to celebrate His glory. Why do you want to hide that talent?" (Loc 656)A Bid for Love by Kathleen Fuller have one phrase in mind and enough to make one want to read - divine planning. Only with God's plans can a simple quilt bring two people together without having spoken much in the first place."Being in love makes every morning worth getting up for." (Loc 1828) Sweeter than Honey by Kelly Irvin really is sweet. It's one of those novellas that you wish it was a full novel. Apparently most if not all of these have characters from the authors other novels. I'll have to get my hands on them for sure now. Even for the shortness of the story, I find growth in Will and in Isabella. That makes a good story when we can "invest" ourselves in the characters."Practice is a good thing in some cases...Sometimes that's what it takes to get it right. Sometimes I think Gott is teaching us what we need to know so we can finally, get it right." (Loc 2766)Love in Store by Vannetta Chapman has a little mystery mixed in with the romance of two middle-age individuals. One already widowed and another a self-confirmed spinster, how can some pranks or is it more than that, bring the two together? I'd say, very well done indeed, Vannetta."There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear." (Loc 3608)In all, a collection not to miss of any Amish fiction fans. An Amish Market have love, a message and some amazing and sometimes quirky characters for you to enjoy. Definitely a must read (and most likely you'll want to in one sitting, and maybe go back for more.)This review first appeared on Just Commonly Blog.NOTE: I received a complimentary digital ARC of this book from the publisher, Thomas Nelson through NetGalley for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own. For my review policy, please see my Disclosure page.

      Four Amish novellas written by well known Amish authors. I enjoyed them all and it would be difficult to choose a favorite from the four.
    • 5/5
      The book is a wonderful collection of stories from authors that always deliver a wonderful storyline and keep readers interested till the very last page. I loved each one and thought that each story had great character development as well as lessons we all can learn from. In Love Birds by Amy Clipston , Ellie and her mother are still dealing with the shock of losing Seth. Lloyd was best friends with Seth and it is hard on him as well. Ellie has been in love with Lloyd for such a long time, that she yearns to be with him always. Why does Lloyd think Ellie has betrayed him? Will this keep them apart forever? Can they finally find healing about losing Seth? The story is about loss, forgiveness and healing. Be sure and grab some tissues as you read this well written story that you won't forget . A Bid For Love by Kathleen Fuller is a fun read. Ezra is single and has his eyes on the sweet Hannah he buys butter from at the market. How much butter can he possibly buy before she gets suspicious? At an auction a quilt is up for bid. Hannah wants the quilt so bad and keep bidding hoping she will be the highest bidder. Will she get the beautiful quilt? Is there something special about this quilt? Get ready for a little intrigue and maybe a budding romance in this charming story? Sweeter Than Honey by Kelly Irwin is a great read with wonderful characters that you instantly like. Isabelle has moved with her family to Bee County, Texas from Tennessee . Will Isabelle have trouble fitting in? Can she make friends and feel apart of the community? What happens when she runs into Will at the Combination store? They each seem to have trouble trusting people , and that makes for a great story of two young people who find their way to forgiveness and trusting. Love In Store by Vannetta Chapman is an intriguing story surrounded by mystery and characters that are nice and at times perhaps a little outspoken. I loved Stella so much. She is quick to say what she thinks which doesn't sit well with some people in the town. There is something very strange going on at the Old Mill and even in the town. David doesn't care much for Stella but working at the same place, he tries to get along with her. As more unexplained things take place , will they be able to work together to solve the mystery? Can they swallow their pride and find peace? It is a great story that I loved and will keep readers glued to their seats. I loved all the stories in this wonderful collection . Each author has a creative way of writing which makes readers want to grab their books as soon as they are published. You won't be disappointment in this collection as each story flows smoothly and creates an unforgettable time of relaxation and enjoyment as you read this collection. I received a copy of this book from The Fiction Guild for an honest review.
    • 4/5
      Often in a collection of novellas or short stories, one or two of the tales will outshine the others. In this collection, all four stories are equally well written and quite engrossing. All have interesting characters in trying situations that need resolving. In some of the stories, the characters have difficulties that they must overcome, or unfortunate circumstances that they must cope with. In at least one, there is a mystery that must be solved. Some of the characters are flawed and need help. It’s an interesting mix of stories, and quite entertaining.
    • 5/5
      An Amish Market is a great collection of Amish romance novellas by four of our favorite Amish fiction authors. Each story is written around the common setting of a type of Amish market. You will encounter a family store, a local market and Amish auction, a gift shop in town, and the Old Amish Mill. Each story is filled with intriguing characters, page turning events, and lots of familiar Amish tradition.LOVE BIRDSThis was a story about a sweet friendship-turned-romance that developed in unusual circumstances. I loved the way Ms Clipston used the hidden talent of the hero as both a conflict and a resolution in the story. The development and depth of the characters draw you into the story, leaving you rooting for the romance to blossom.A BID FOR LOVEThis story immediately caught my attention. Quilts, auctions, and local markets are some of the things that warm me from the inside out. This story reconnected me to an earlier time in my life. Ms Fuller’s writing style has a way of drawing me into the pages of her stories and making me feel like I am part of the story. Mulling about, interacting with her characters, traveling to the very places they go—she makes me feel present within her words. I enjoyed this story immensely! I loved how one single item within the story could mean so much to so many people, bonding them together in a beautiful ending.SWEETER THAN HONEY“If you hold on to bitterness with one hand and anger with the other, you have no hands to extend…” What a great quote and theme for Ms Irvin’s novella. This story touches on some edgy activities, but the author pulls it back in nicely to round it out to a great story of forgiveness and redemption.LOVE IN STOREA romance involving a couple who are more advanced in their years is something you don’t read very often. Ms Chapman mixes that mature couple with a touch of mystery for a unique blend. Can the two of them move beyond the lives they’ve grown accustomed to? Or are they too deeply set in their ways to move forward together? A copy of An Amish Market was provided to me in exchange for my honest review.
    • 4/5
      An Amish Market (Amy Clipston, Kelly Irvin, Vannetta Chapman, and Kathleen Fuller) has four sweet, Amish romance stories by four great authors. Ellie Lapp is still dealing with the loss of her brother, Seth in Love Birds by Amy Clipston. Ellie’s mother, Margaret and Ellie no longer have Seth’s income to provide groceries and pay the bills. Ellie gets a part-time job at Bird-in-Hand Gifts and Treasures. The shop needs more unique Amish-made items to sell. Ellie believes she has found the right item when she sees Lloyd Blank’s hand carved birds. They are beautiful with exquisite details. Lloyd, though, will not sell them because his father believes it is prideful. Will this hinder the budding romance between Lloyd and Ellie? This is a sweet story that is well-written and easy to read. A good story about forgiveness and helping others.Hannah Lynne Beiler is twenty-two years old and has a stand at the Middlefield Market in Middlefield, Pennsylvania in A Bid for Love by Kathleen Fuller. Hannah Lynne sells her butter and her mother’s homemade pies. Ezra Yutzy comes by every week to pick up butter (that he does not need). Ezra fancies Hannah Lynne but has not worked up the courage to ask her out. At the annual benefit for the DDC Clinic Ezra notices Hannah Lynne admiring a quilt that was donated by his family (at least Ezra believes he gave them the right quilt). Hannah Lynne bids on it and, unfortunately, does not win it. Ezra convinces the buyer to let him purchase it. Ezra gives the quilt to Hannah Lynne. This leads to a problem with both Hannah Lynne and Ezra’s mother. Hannah Lynne wants to pay Ezra back for the quilt (she does not have enough money to repay him). Ezra’s mother believes he purchased the quilt to return it to the family (only quilt his grandmother ever made). Now Ezra has a dilemma. Everything works out through God’s timing! This is a cute story, but not my favorite. It was a little awkward (uncomfortable) especially with the lack of communication between Ezra and Hannah (it was frustrating).Sweeter Than Honey by Kelly Irvin takes place in Bee County, Texas. Isabella Shrock and her family have just moved to the area from Tennessee. Isabella wants to fit in and make friends. This is a new start for her and her family. But can she find the right friends? Will Glick works at the Combination Store (owned by Bishop Leroy). He has burned too many times (by women). Can Isabella help Will? Love in Store by Vannetta Chapman is set in Nappannee, Indiana and is a mystery. Stella Schwartz never married because she could not have children. It has made her bitter. Stella is a tour guide at Old Amish Mill complex. David Stolzfus is a widower who just moved to the area to assist his daughter, Rebecca (widow with three kids). David got a job at the Old Amish Mill. When pranks (dangerous ones) start happening around the complex, David is asked to investigate. Stella assists David is finding the culprit before gets seriously hurt. What else will these two find during the investigation?All four stories were enjoyable to read. I especially liked Love in Store (fourth story). They are all well-written and have good messages in them. If you enjoy Amish fiction, then you will like reading An Amish Market. I give An Amish Market 4 out of 5 stars. I received a complimentary copy of An Amish Market from NetGally and BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review.

      Love Birds…..my thoughtsSharing the grief of loosing her brother and he losing his best friend, Ellie and Lloyd are brought together. They have known each other all of their lives and sharing their thoughts and memories spark a relationship between them.When Ellie betrays Lloyd, or so he thinks, they both are devastated and you wonder if either of there lives will ever be the same? Will there be forgiveness as their religion teaches, or will each go there own way? The market in this story is a gift store.A Bid For LoveTwo shy people that can’t seem to express their desires are put together each week at the local market. Just how much homemade butter can a bachelor use?What becomes the catalyst for these two is a quilt. His Mom is donating one, and he gives the lady in charge when she comes for it the closest quilt. Then he sees his hearts desire looking at the quilt that his Mom donated.Will this be the reason these two open up to each other, or will it be the end to any relationship?Sweeter Than HoneyIn this story Will has felt like his heart has been shattered to many times to try again. Enter a new neighbor to bee country Isabella; she is just trying to fit in. These two meet in the Bee Store.When she is befriended by an English girl, and decides to go out to a pool hall, Will is sure she isn’t for him. Things are not always as they appear, and this story will have you wondering how everything is going to work out.Love In StoryThis is the final story in this book, and mostly takes place at the Old Mill, in Nappanee, Indiana. This is the story of a widower who has moved her to help his recently widowed daughter.Stella has never been able to have children and feels she has never been worthy to have a husband of her own.When pranks and then more dangerous things begin to happen at the mill Will and Stella spend more time together trying to figure out whom is committing these acts. Through out the story Stella is a brisk and rather outspoken person, and you wonder how hurt she is because of her problem.Now these are not twenty year olds they are in there fifties, but both come with their own problems and you wonder if there is even a chance for a relationship here.I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.

      Thursday, February 11, 2016An Amish Market: Four Novellas by Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, Kelly Irvin & Vannetta Chapman, © 2015I love the cover on these novellas! Thank you to author Amy Clipston for sending me a review copy of An Amish Market. I will be reviewing her story, Love Birds. Enjoy the other three stories (and some recipes)!Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania"Lloyd, in this community, we're allsomeone's bruder or scweschder."~ Rebecca, Love Birds, 55Lloyd Blank and Ellie Lapp have been around each other since their growing up years. Lloyd and her brother, Seth, were good friends. A sister of Lloyd's, Rebecca, and Ellie are the same age. Seth died the previous month in a work accident. Lloyd has been going to help Ellie and her mother, Margaret, with their farm chores and repairs.Love Birds ~ an exposed secret can exploit and weaken trust. Lloyd's dat said his hobby was prideful, being excelled from what he had been taught as a boy by his daadi. Ellie wanted to exuberantly share his talents with the shopkeeper at Bird-in-Hand Gifts and Treasures, across from the Farmers' Market. With communication and hearing, this story is one of overcoming and learning to lean and share their hearts as close bonds continue to develop between families and community.Love Birds features Ellie and Margaret Lapp, who are secondary characters from The Forgotten Recipe, which is the first in my Amish Heirloom series. I enjoyed having the opportunity to share Ellie’s story with my readers. This book is dedicated to my sons, Zac and Matt. ~ Amy Clipston***This review was written in my own words. No other compensation was received.***

      Four authors tell tales of love in an Amish community using market related scenarios. The gentle interplay between characters clearly illustrates the loneliness one feels if that certain someone is around but does not share the same feelings. The authors show respect for Amish ways in the way they treat the characters in the stories.
