Rival Hearts by Tara Randel is another book in the Quilts of Love series. Once again I wasn’t let down by this series or this author. I read this book in a few hours and I have to say I sad when it was over because I fell in love with the characters and the authors writing. This is the first book by this author that I have read and I can’t wait to check out other books by her.

Anyway let’s talk about this book. In this book you get to know Molly & Ben as the compete to get the same job at the publishing company that they work for. They have to basically switch places and focus on the other person’s job. So Ben has to make a quilt while Molly has to learn and go kayaking. After the complete their different tasks they had to write about them and their boss would then chose who he thought would be best for job. I love the ending of the book and I have to say that I wasn’t shocked at all by the final turn the book did take but in all it was a great book and I am so glad I received it to read.

About The Book

They both want the promotion. But will they find out that it is worth the cost?

Molly Henderson and Ben Weaver have been rival magazine writers for the same publishing group for years. When both come up for the same promotion, they find themselves in an unexpected competition to win the spot. Molly, editor of Quilter’s Heart, and Ben, editor of Outdoor Adventures, must switch roles, each working for the other for one month, then submit an article at the end of their quests.

A Mothers Secret by Amy Clipston

A Mother’s Secret by Amy Clipston was another great fiction book about the Amish. This is the first book from this author that I have read and I have to say that I loved it. I loved that in this book Carolyn had a son when she wasn’t married and only 16 years old. The reason for this is that this is the first book where a current issue in today’s society was brought into the story and I really admired the author for stepping out of the box a little bit and making the story a little more relatable. I loved this book but there were parts for it is flow the best but I was able to look past those parts because I wanted everything to work out for Carolyn & her son Ben. I loved the ending of the book but it did seem rushed and I wish there would have been more to the ending than there was. If you love Amish fiction that I would add this one to your most read list for sure.

About The Book

Book two in the Hearts of the Lancaster Grand Hotel series.

Carolyn Lapp dreams of marrying for love. But will the errors of her past destroy this dream forever?

Carolyn Lapp longs to have a traditional Amish family. But she lives on her brother’s farm with her parents and her 15-year old son, Benjamin. Carolyn has never revealed the identity of Benjamin’s father and lives daily with the guilt and shame of her youthful indiscretion. Her brother simply will not forgive her.

His answer is to arrange a practical marriage for Carolyn to Saul, a widower with a little girl. But Carolyn isn’t convinced that Saul really loves her and believes he is simply looking for someone to help raise his daughter.

When Benjamin causes trouble at a local horse auction, horse breeder Joshua Glick decides that he must be taught a lesson. Carolyn and Joshua are unmistakably drawn to each other, but Joshua mistakenly assumes that Benjamin is Carolyn’s brother. Carolyn fears that if he discovers the truth, her past will destroy their budding romance.

After years of shame and loneliness, Carolyn suddenly has two men vying for her attention. But which of them will give her the family-and the unconditional love-she’s longed for?
