Endearing

Where to begin? There's so much I can say about Hidden Away at Promise Lodge, but I don't want to accidentally give anything away.

It's a lovely story with wonderful characters. There are a few main story lines that touched my heart as I watched the characters get to know each other and deal with issues they each had. Overcoming, moving forward, faith, community and love are flawlessly woven throughout the story making it a wonderful and endearing read and one that I highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. All comments and opinions are voluntary and completely my own.

Hidden Away at Promise Lodge is book seven in the Promise Lodge series, but it is the first book I’ve read in the series. Two young girls pretend to be Amish on a vacation at Promise Lodge, and they get to know all the Amish and Mennonite women who live at Promise Lodge throughout the year. When a tornado causes damage to the lodge and surrounding businesses, everyone works together to survive and rebuild.

This was a clean, sweet story of a community supporting and helping one another. There are lots of characters who were apparently the main characters in previous stories in the series, and I can’t help but wonder if I might have enjoyed this story more if I had read the previous books in the series. I was a bit confused about the camaraderie between the Amish and Mennonites in the story. In most other Amish books I’ve read, the Amish and Mennonites do not get along since the Mennonites split off from the Amish. In this story, however, they not only get along, but they even live together at the lodge and attend church services with one another.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a clean, sweet, Christian fiction story, but I believe I would recommend other readers to begin with book one to hopefully get a better understanding of all the other characters in the story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This Amish story is a good one. It is easy to recommend to many readers. It is a fun story line about hiding in an Amish community..

Yes, I loved this read, could almost picture myself doing what the young women who opened the book did, and yes, I was chuckling!

This read was like a warm hug, and I didn't want to leave! There is some sweet romance, along with some danger, but the love these folks show to each other is awesome!

The author gives us a woman who has not had an easy life, and now has been give a death sentence, and just as she feels her life is over is given a fleeting chance at love! We also have a never married seasoned citizen, Mennonite, and someone has caught his eye.

We witness the power of prayer in this read, and I adored Mose, he was such an inspiration!

When the last page was turned I had a sense of loss, but there is a preview of the next book in this series, now I can't wait!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.

Well written series by a great author. I did enjoy this one overall, although pretending to be Amish felt a bit odd. Still though, would recommend.

This is another installment of the Promise Lodge series. Two young English girls who went to camp at Promise Lodge back in the day, decide to pretend to be Amish and book a week at Promise Lodge just for fun. The residents at the Lodge are not fooled but graciously host the girls. The girls knowledge of the hidden secrets of the old building come in handy when there is a tornado that causes extensive damage to the Lodge. Meanwhile, two widows living at the Lodge find romance with local men (one Amish couple and one Mennonite couple). And the story of Promise Lodge is now awaiting its next installment once more. This series and Charlotte Hubbard never disappoint.

Another amazing book in the Promise Lodge series by Charlotte Hubbard! Meet two *Englischers* who try to pass themselves off as Amish, but the eagle eyed residents are quick to catch the holes in their story! Buckle tight in anticipation and dismay as a tornado sweeps through the town and devastates the Lodge as some outbuildings. But love blossoms in the midst of these trials as two couples find love despite the odds against them.

I loved this sweet novel in every way possible!
Yes, prayer is a powerful tool, but only if God wills it in His timing.
And yes, miracles can happen. It happened with my father in law. God blessed him, but sometimes, I feel like he never really appreciated it. But I'm glad I got to see it happen anyway.
Andi and Karen were my favorite characters. They made me giggle at times. I'm glad they were on the scene to help, though!
Hubbard does such a nice job with these characters!
I've felt like I've come to really know and love them! I feel like they're the big family that I've never had!
Mose was my second favorite! I loved his steady presence throughout the novel and the reminder to keep the faith no matter what happens!
I do hope that Ms. Hubbard will keep this series going because I love everyone at Promise Lodge!
5 stars for a wonderful read! One I enjoyed very much!
I highly recommend it!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is the first book of this series that I've read. And although it was a little confusing at times with all the characters I really enjoyed it. Specially Mase and Sylvia's story.

Promise Lodge inspires a new start. Sometimes Promise Lodge also inspires curiosity. Karen Mercer and Andi Swann are the latter. They have been inspired by the Amish but being English, they were also very curious when the visited the Amish owned lodge. Their get up did not fool anybody. They had a history at the Promise Lodge before it became a lodge. Their knowledge of the lodge became useful when a tragedy struck that may have saved the lives of the visitors. It also set the course for Sylvia and Mose. Sylvia was given a life sentence. She had come to Promise Lodge for peace. Mose had come with his twin sister and his background is a tragic story in itself. The average person seeing Mose may miss a few things. He is loyal, good with animals, very smart, and is drawn to Sylvia.

With Sylvia hiding away at Promise Lodge and Mose hiding his true potential, they discover the promise of love of faith.

A special thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

Hidden Away at Promise Lodge is my favorite addition from Charlotte Hubbard's Promise Lodge series. I am giving this sweet Amish read five stars.

This was a well written story that follow several different characters from previous books that made it enjoyable. As one character battles a brain tumor, the other characters seek to rebuild their lodge and small businesses after a tornado rips through their town. Several budding romances start to pop up, but doubts seem to keep them apart. A community that comes together as one, having faith in God and seeing what would be next to impossible to believe, but realizing that with God all things are possible. A little surprise ending totally capped off the ending to this wonderful book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. The added recipes in the back were a bonus.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book given to me by NetGalley and the publisher for my honest opinion. All words are my own.
