This book was quite different than other books I have read by Kathleen Fuller. There are several different stories. I was provided a copy of the book by Netgalley but it did not influence my review.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Book 3 in An Amish Mail-order Bride Series.
Katherine Miller arrives in Birch Creek with a secret. She wants no one to know where she came from or why she came. Her spirit nearly broken and with little self-esteem until the new handyman, Ezra Bontrager says hello.
Good storyline, one which you're normally not used to reading about but does happen. I enjoyed the the book and how Katherine healed discovering her inner beauty and strength. I didn't care much for a few chapters that brought in extra family to add to the other storyline going on but it did tie up nicely at the end. Looks like there could be another bachelor needing a potential Mail-order Bride in the future.

Thank you Zondervan Fiction, for allowing me to read and ARC of Love in Plain Sight (An Amish Mail-Order Bride Novel Book 3) by Kathleen Fuller through Netgalley. All opinions are my own, and I was not required to give a positive review.

All of Kathleen’s books in this series are great, but they just get better and better. It is wonderful to be able to revisit friends the town of Birch Creek and catch up with old friends from the first two books and meet new ones.

You really get lost in the story. This book contains a love story of Ezra Bontrager and a Kathleen Miller, who has fled the danger of an abusive fiancé and ended up in Birch Creek working for Stoll’s Inn. Ezra or Kathleen aren’t interested in looking for mates, Ezra is really looking for an escape from farming, and Kathleen just needs a place to works and hide from her past.

In a continuing story, Rhoda and Lorn hit a large stumbling black in their relationship just as they thought they could move forward with their romance only to find the biggest roadblock to their marriage has reappeared.

Both couples must confront a past I order to find a future.

Preorder this 5-star book that will be released May 3, 2022. It is well worth the wait.

I loved coming back to Birch Creek and hearing about the previous characters in the series. My heart hurt for Katherine as she had to escape to Birch Creek. I also enjoyed the character of Ezra.

Kathleen fuller was my very first Amish fiction author “experience”. From that first book on, I am hooked on everything she writes! This one is no exception and continues a series of stories that I have already read by her. There are some sad areas as well as positive reunions! She’s an excellent author and I highly recommend this book along with the others that she has written!

Kathleen Fuller is definitely becoming one of my favorite Amish authors. I read as many of her books as I can, although I have not had the chance to read the previous books of this particular series. Kathleen Fuller's books never disappoint and this one was so good. It also works as a stand-alone book, if like me, have not read the first two books of the series.

It deals with an abusive fiancé who basically rules Katharine's life. As she speaks to a friend the decision was made for her to leave their town in secret. This is such a captivating book. You will enjoy the book as she continues to forge a new life for herself and hopefully finds happiness. Themes in this book cover abuse and forgiveness. It is well worth your time to read this book.

While Love in Plain Sight has two sweet romances in it... between Katharine and Ezra and Rhoda and Loren, you will also find heavier themes such as abuse and forgiveness. Some days I'm in the mood for a quick and easy read and I find that the Amish romances by my favorite authors fit the bill perfectly. I've loved every book by Kathleen Fuller that I've read and will continue to pick up her new books as they come along.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

An abusive fiancé makes Katharine flee her family home in Wyoming and go to an Amish community in another state. There she meets Ezra, a bachelor with no intention of courting at the moment. Katharine is shy and tries to keep a low profile. The two are part of the same Amish congregation and work at the same Inn and cross paths frequently. This is a nice, feel-good story. This is third in a series and it was fun to see some of the characters from the first two books of the series and also to have a little mystery solved at the end that was with us from the beginning.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

One word that comes to mind in describing this book is captivating! I read this book in 2 days because I could not put it down. I love how the author writes about real life issues that happens in many homes today and can often go unnoticed-physical and mental abuse.

Kathleen Fuller incorporated the rebuilding of trust in others, a little bit of matchmaking, seeking forgiveness for wrong doing and being the one who has to do the forgiving when they have been done wrong. I hope the author has a sequel to this story because I want to see what happens with one of the characters.

I highly recommend this book. It will definitely keep your attention. I received a copy of this book from Net Galley and the publisher for my honest review and opinion.
