About A Wedding at the Orange Blossom Inn:
A wedding brings together two young widowed parents . . . and gives them a second chance at love.
Emma Keim was heartbroken when her husband, Sanford, passed away, leaving her to raise three young daughters alone. Though several years have passed, 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 handsome widower with three young sons of his own---Emma is delighted to have a new friend who understands her struggles. Still, she 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?
Emma's gentleness with Jay's boys stirs something in his heart that's been quiet for far too long. But when his 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.
Once again, love has come to Pinecraft. But can these two parties of four become a happy, healthy family of eight?

My thoughts:
I truly enjoyed reading this third book of the Amish Brides of Pinecraft series. I found this one to be an interesting Amish version of old show "The Brady Bunch". In each book of this series Shelley brings back some previous characters so we can keep in touch with them and she introduces some new ones. One of these humorous characters is a dog, Frankie, who creates chaos in his never ending quest for pizza and food. Shelley also makes Pinecraft sound like such a nice place that I would love to be able to go visit the area and check it out for myself. I can't wait for the final book in the Pinecraft series since it should finally tell us what happens with Beverly and the Orange Blossom Inn. You can purchase a copy on Amazon.
She is a two-time New York Times bestseller, a two-time USA Today bestseller, a finalist for the American Christian Fiction Writers prestigious Carol Award, and a two-time Holt Medallion winner. She lives in Southern Ohio, where she writes full-time, bakes too much, and can often be found walking her dachshunds on her town's bike trail.
