Korey Bontrager knows he’s been an immature dumm

Korey Bontrager knows he’s been an immature dummkopp. When his widowed dad remarried, Korey was unwelcoming to his kindhearted stepmother. Then he became estranged from his older brother. But after fourteen months in Ohio, God called Korey back to Pennsylvania.

Easier said than done. Back home, Korey feels left behind by his family and friends, who want to see him also happily married. Instead of looking for a new relationship, he finds himself spending time with Savannah Zook: the most outspoken maedel he’s ever met. She’s also confident and brave, having raised her younger brother from a young age. And she’s a natural beauty. But, hard as her friends try to convince her otherwise, she has no interest in dating. Her priority is looking out for her bullied brother.

So when Savannah suggests they pretend to date as a way to get her friends—and his family—off their backs, Korey readily agrees. Soon, he can’t imagine life without her. But could Savannah ever truly be part of his future? And after feeling betrayed by his brother and his last girlfriend, Korey isn’t quite ready to trust another woman with his heart.

Set in the faithful Amish community of Lancaster County, Breaking New Ground gives the most stubborn Bontrager a chance to redeem his story.

I've not heard of this author before, and it was refreshing to see a new voice in the world of Amish romance. This was a quick read, able to be finished in just over an hour. The plot was good, with the majority of the characters developed enough to keep the readers interest.

Overall, a wholesome Amish romance.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

Happy first day of December!

From now until the end of the year, shops and most homes will be full of Christmas music, rushing people, busy days, frayed tempers, and long lists of things to do.
Spare a thought for those who suffer deeply at this time of the year, those who have no one to share Christmas with, and those who are marginalised, isolated, or defeated of spirit. It is easy to forget that not everyone enjoys this time of the year and that some dread it.

Remember, too, those that work tirelessly to create a magical Christmas for others, yet rarely smile themselves. You have no idea what pain others are carrying, so please be kind this season.

Let that frazzled person cut in line in front of you, offer to return someone else's shopping trolley so that they don't have to hike through the carpark, only buy what you need, even a simple 'deep breath mama, you're doing fine' instead of the judging stares when tantrums arise can make all the difference.

Fiercely independent naval officer, Patience Cartw

Fiercely independent naval officer, Patience Cartwright has never had a place to call home, but she knows where she doesn't belong. After an unhappy childhood and a badly broken heart, she'll never return to the country.

But to save her career, Patience is forced to accept a secondment - to an environmental team working near the town where she grew up. There she encounters once more the infuriatingly attractive biologist Hugo Halstead - the very man she's sworn never to forgive.

Given their history, Hugo, as self-assured and honest as Patience is secretive and self-contained, has vowed never to trust her again, but that doesn't stop him feeling just as helplessly drawn to her complicated mix of courage and fragility as he ever was.

As Patience recuperates from a life-threatening illness in the small country town of Horseshoe Hill, she realises the beauty of the landscape and close-knit community promise something very different to the future she's mapped out.

But could the secrets she keeps and the shadows of her past, send her adrift all over again?

An interesting read, the story focuses on the heroine and her overcoming her difficult life in order to find love and happiness.

This reads almost like a saga, and is more women's fiction than romance.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

It's Christmas in Australia and Dad wants that perfect Christmas family photo, but someone is always missing!

From Australian icon and singer–songwriter, John Williamson, comes this hugely popular family song, brought to life by talented artist, Mitch Vane.

Christmas in Australia is one of my family's favourite Christmas books, with engaging, fun text, and gorgeous illustrations depicting what Christmas is really like for the half of the world who do not celebrate in winter, but rather summer.
