An Amish Man of Ice Mountain by Kelly Long - Review of the second book in the Ice Mountain series



BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB
(taken from Amazon.com)
Joseph King has good reasons to work an oil rig far from his beloved Ice Mountain . . . and to mind his own business. He hopes to protect his younger brother Edward from worldly influences. And maybe he can finally forget how yielding to temptation forced him to leave home in disgrace. Still, no honorable Amish man would let Priscilla Allen and her four-year-old daughter remain homeless, living out of their car. And how can he not be drawn to the feisty waitress's bravery and hidden strength . . .

Offering Priscilla a home on Ice Mountain as his wife-in-name-only gives her a place to start again. For Joseph, it's also an unexpected chance to regain his reputation and standing in the community. But Priscilla's warmth, caring, and determination to adjust to Amish society are renewing Joseph's long-buried hope. Now as his guilt and her wrenching secrets threaten the fragile trust growing between them, they will need the riskiest of miracles to put the past to rest--and fulfill a promise only love and renewed faith can bring.


MY  REVIEW
Amazing writing and such an unusual story for an Amish book. Kelly really mixes the Amish and the Englisch lives in this series. This book takes on a subject that you don't normally read about in a Amish story. There is some sexual content but nothing 'too deep'. I am enjoying this series and really looking forward to reading "The Amish Heart of Ice Mountain" when it comes out in October.
