From New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray comes a new series that follows a bookmobile driver-turned-matchmaker who learns that her Amish patrons need a whole lot more than just new books to read.Aaron Coblentz has a secret: he's been studying to take the GED to get promoted at work. But he can't let his Amish family know, not when his older brother already left the faith just a year after getting baptized, practically crippling the family. When Aaron asks bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Miller for some additional study guides, she does one better. She arranges for Kayla Kaufman to be his tutor. Kayla has a secret, too. Her life has been turned upside down in a matter of months--her mother's death propelled her father into a constant state of depression, and unable to deal with his erratic behavior, her longtime boyfriend has broken things off. But despite losing those she holds most dear, she hasn't completely given up on love. Only now she seeks to find it in the sweet romance novels she secretly checks out from Sarah Anne's bookmobile. As Aaron and Kayla's study sessions start to feel less like work and more like pleasure, they soon realize that happily ever afters don't only happen in fiction; sometimes they happen when you least expect it. From a "skilled storyteller who reminds the reader that faith can help us survive the ups and downs in life" (RT Book Reviews), A Perfect Amish Romance is a moving and deftly told story that paints a heartwarming picture of the magic of true love.Review Quotes

A Perfect Amish Romance by Shelley Shepard Gray is the debut of the Berlin Bookmobile series. Sarah Ann Miller takes out the bookmobile to the stops within her area. Over the last year, Sarah Ann has become more than a librarian to the people who visit the bookmobile. Aaron wants to take the GED and needs a tutor. Sarah Ann arranged for Kayla Kaufman to tutor Aaron. As they spend time together studying, their thoughts turn from vocabulary to romance. A Perfect Amish Romance is a sweet and amusing story. There are several storylines going on which keeps the book interesting. It can, though, be confusing in the beginning trying to keep the various characters and their stories straight. Once I got into the story (able to keep the people straight), I really enjoyed this story. I just loved Sarah Ann. She is a lively and insightful woman. Aaron wants to get his GED so he can get a promotion. Kayla lost her mother two years ago. Her father has been depressed since her death. Kayla has had to take over things previously handled by her mother and her father. It is putting a strain on her, and Kayla has no life of her own. Tiny Coblentz has been friends with Joel, but she now wants a different relationship. She believes Joel feels the same way. However, her brothers are an obstacle. The Coblentz family is lively and amusing. I enjoyed seeing how the bookmobile and Sarah Ann served the community. It provides more than a place to get books. There are good life lessons in this charming Amish tale especially regarding perfection. A Perfect Amish Romance has secrets, hope, faith, trust issues, and love. I look forward to the next novel in the Berlin Bookmobile series. A Perfect Amish Romance is an entertaining story with a lovable librarian, sticky fingers, raucous youngsters, obfuscated vocabulary, tenuous trust, and beloved books.

I was excited to read a new Amish series by Shelley Shepard Gray as she is a multi talented author in other genres but her Amish books grip my heart. What better setting than a bookmobile run by a genuine warm widow woman who cares about her patrons especially the Amish. There are so many wonderful characters that it is hard to pick a favorite. It starts with a beautiful cover and opens to heartwarming stories that sweep you into the worlds of several families all tied together with their love of books and family. I love how the characters grew and some learned to look outward and learn to help others. Just a great beginning to this new series and I look forward reading more. With all the turmoil in the world it was great to curl up with a book that made me smile. I received a complimentary copy from the author. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
