Book Description:
She grows flowers.
He raises bees for honey.
They help each other out,
because that’s what neighbors do…
Belinda Graber loves growing flowers for her family to sell at the Amish marketplace. Venturing beyond the farm to sell them in town, though, is out of the question. People would stare at the birthmark on her cheek, and she’s dealt with enough teasing in her life.
As a beekeeper, Adam Fisher knows how blessed he is to live next door to the Grabers’ greenhouses and fields. But when his father is injured, Adam has to take a job at the local mill. How will he manage the honey harvest?
Adam and Belinda make a deal: if she tends his hives, he’ll sell her flowers in town.
Belinda’s sure that her growing feelings for Adam could never be returned. Meanwhile, Adam can’t help but notice how his shy neighbor charms the bees…or is he the one being charmed? Because his last courtship ended badly, Adam tells himself this arrangement is strictly business, even if Belinda is sweet as honey.
This uplifting Amish romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Bee Sting Cake For Two.

My Thoughts:
Heartwarming
Belinda has been hurt in the past , Because of this, she tends to be very shy., even with people she's known her whole life. However, one place where Belinda's shyness disappears is when she's among her flowers. She loves flowers and desires to have a flower farm one day. On the other hand, Adam, is not the least bit shy, Well, except when it comes to Belinda. Although Adam has also experienced hurt, it hasn't affected his social skills. But for some reason, when it comes to Belinda, Adam often finds himself at a loss for words. While Belinda's passion is flowers, Adam's passion is bees. And that makes for a very interesting combination.
This was such a sweet and heartwarming story. I loved Belinda's journey. She grew from a shy young woman to a savvy business owner and business partner. I also loved Adam's journey of healing and dedication. Most of all, I loved their journey together as they went from practically strangers to partners, friends and on from there. Their journey also included a journey in forgiveness, which added a lovely inspirational touch to the story. The mix of romance, humor and inspiration make An Amish Flower Farm a heartwarming story that should not be missed by anyone.
