About the Book
In this final installment of Amy Clipston's Amish Legacy series, Jayden, the youngest Bontrager son, finds love and friendship in an unexpected place.Book Synopsis
Kira has no interest in dating and putting down roots in Pennsylvania--that is, until she finds a kindred spirit in Jayden Bontrager.
Kira Detweiler doesn't plan to be in Lancaster County for long. She's left her family in Indiana to help her aunt after the birth of her fourth boppli. Or at least that's what she tells people. Deep down, she's trying to escape the heartache of a broken engagement and has no plans to date again anytime soon.
Jayden Bontrager watches his older brothers with admiration, and he prays that someday he'll have the kind of life they do. Even so, he's only twenty-three and not in a hurry to marry and start a family. He's content to watch from the sidelines and is happy to see his brothers enjoying a close relationship once again.
When Jayden and Kira strike up a friendship, they are each drawn to the other's gentle and humble demeanor, and they feel things for one another unlike anything they've felt before. But Kira is torn between her heart and her home. She sees no point in pursuing a relationship with Jayden when she doesn't plan to put down roots in Pennsylvania. The last thing she needs is another heartbreak.
Will Jayden and Kira be able to overcome the obstacles in their path to find the future they both dream of?
In this fourth and final book of the Amish Legacy Series, readers will find out if the youngest Bontrager brother will get his happily ever after.

As much as I didn't want my time with the Bontrager family to end, I loved reading about Jayden's happily ever after. He was such a sweet, uplifting blend of both Korey's and Tyler's personalities. He really seems like the glue that holds everyone together. He's a peacemaker with the strength to stand up to his brothers, when needed. And I absolutely loved Kira! I could relate so much to her struggle with whether she was ready to be brave enough to risk her heart again after a heartbreak. I could also relate to Jayden's insecurities about whether he'd have a chance with Kira. Amy Clipston writes the sweetest, most perfectly imperfect characters and the Bontrager family, their friends, and the people who join their family through marriage have all embodied this skill so very well. There is so much that can be learned from what Amy's characters experience. I look forward to reading more of Amy's work and think it would be great if more of the books could be set in the same community, just so we can get little tiny visits with the Bontragers here and there.

I was so excited to get to read Jayden’s story! Jayden has always been the glue in his family. The calming voice that everyone needs to hear, and the mediator between his brothers. If anyone deserves a good love story it’s Jayden. His life hasn’t always been an easy one, losing his mom at a young age hurt his family deeply. But when his father finds love again, Jayden was the first to want to see his father happy, even if that meant seeing him with someone new. Jayden’s family owns a roofing business, and while it isn’t his passion, he’s good at what he does. Unlike his brothers, he doesn’t mind working on the crew instead of running it. When Jayden meets Kira, he charms her right away. Not knowing if they will see each other again, they are both delighted when they get a chance to get to know each other more. Kira has had her heart broken before, and Jayden isn’t in a hurry to get married. Can they overcome the obstacles that seem to want to stop them from finding their true happiness? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish Fiction. I enjoyed watching Jayden and Kira get to know each other and the different dynamics with their families. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zondervan Fiction and was in no way forced to post a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Repetitive details!

The Heart’s Shelter by Amy Clipston is the fourth An Amish Legacy Novel. We get Jayden’s story in this addition. I have liked Jayden since the beginning, and I have been looking forward to his tale. I find Jayden to be a kind man with a good heart. I thought The Heart’s Shelter was a sweet story, but I found it to be repetitive. I like the Bontrager family as well as Kira’s aunt. I had trouble liking Kira. She is older than Jayden, but he was the more mature person in the relationship. I did like that Kira and her group of friends did kind deeds for those who were struggling in the community. I thought the story lacked depth. The same details are repeated in each chapter. I liked catching up with the other characters in the series. I have enjoyed seeing them develop and watching the Bontrager family grow closer. The Heart’s Shelter can be read as a standalone as the author provided the necessary background information for new readers.
