Book Description:
She knows all about his reputation…
But is she ready to know the truth?
When Beth Koffman finds out her family has hired Jack Lehman to build their new store, she’s furious. The far-too-charming Amish bachelor is known in their community as a heartbreaker, and Beth doesn’t want him near her sisters. But the more time they spend together, the more she realizes hating Jack might prove difficult when she’s falling for him at the same time…
My Thoughts: Truth and Trust
What do you do when you are tasked to work with someone whose reputation is said to be very questionable and with which you wholeheartedly agree? Beth Koffman is about to find out.
What do you do when yours is the reputation fueled by people who think they know the story, interject their own ideas into it, and then run with it? Jack Lehman isn't about to find out, because, sadly, it is already part of his reality.
I loved Beth and Jack's story. As I read, I couldn't wait to see how they would be able to rise above what others labeled as reality. However, as they spend time together, Jack works at showing Beth the truth, and she in turn begins to trust. Their journey turned into a sweet and endearing relationship that melted my heart. However, a few bumps in the road had me once again wondering whether or not Beth and Jack would be able to overcome, which kept me riveted to the story up to the very last page.
I throughly enjoyed this sweet and inspirational story. It was a great reminder of how there is always more than one side to a story. It also brought to mind the many quotes about lies and truth, but especially the one that talks about seeing it with your own eyes vs. inventing it with your own mouth. The story also reminded me of the proverb that talks about a good name/reputation being worth more than silver and gold. (22:1) I loved how the author wove together these life lessons into Beth and Jack's story. The combination of these lessons, along with the romance and inspiration, made this a truly wonderful story that I highly recommend.
