I finished reading The Captive Heart (The Daughter’s of Caleb Bender Series) last night. I am hooked, without a doubt! The story of the Bender family as the are living in Paradise Valley in Mexico is exceptional! Rachel, Miriam, Emma and Ada capture your hearts. Then you have Domingo who is the tough, strong and will fight to keep those he cares about safe. Levi is a loving and caring person devoted to his Amish faith. Then there is Micha he is accepted by those around him but he is very pompus and demending.
You have Kyra the sister of Domingo that is very true and helpful to those around her.
Arron who seems lost without his twin brother.
Rachael and Levi have an undeniable love for one another and hope to be married. Mariam has to hide her true feelings for who her heart secretly longs to have a life with.
This is the second book that I have read by Dale Cramer and I am officially hooked!
I can’t seem to get enough of his books!
This is a must read, especially if you read Amish fiction!
I give this book 5 stars!

Review of: Saving Gideon written by Amy Lillard
Gideon Fisher was an Amish man that had lost everything that meant the most to him.
When all of a sudden one snow storm night Avery “Annie” Hamilton
comes crashing in to his life! He hears the blaring of a horn in this dreadful snow
storm. He fights his way out across the field to the side of the road where Annie
has wrecked her car. Unconscious and bleeding he lifts her out of her wrecked car.
The clothing so sheer it is next to nothing with this snow storm.
He brings her back to his place to take care of her while this storm rages.
Once she is recovered she asks Gideon to allow her to stay longer while she
tries to figure out what she is going to do with her life.
They both of such different life styles. He is just a plain, simple Amish man.
She is use to having everthing coming from a family that is very well off.
She takes a liken to his Amish ways, family, lifestyle. She learns to cook.
She takes to wearing the Amish clothes with it be enough or will she
return to her fancy life?
A must read book!
