Christmas at Rose Hill Farm #bookreview @Litfuse

About the book:  Christmas at Rose Hill Farm

 

Bess Riehl is preparing Rose Hill Farm for her Christmas wedding, but her groom isn’t who she thought it would be. Billy Lapp is far away from his Amish roots working as arose rustler for Penn State and wants nothing to do with Stoney Ridge, his family, or Bess. And that suits Bess just fine. Why should she think twice about a man who left without a word, without any explanation? It’s time she moved on with her life, and that meant saying yes to Amos Lapp, Billy’s cousin and best friend. But as Bess and Amos’s wedding day draws near, her emotions tangle into a tight knot. She loves Amos. Yet she can’t forget Billy.

When a “lost” rose is discovered at Rose Hill Farm, Billy is sent to track down its origins. Get in, identify the rose, and get out. That’s his plan. The only catch is that he’s having a hard time narrowing down the identity of the lost rose, and he can’t get those tropical blue eyes of Bess Riehl out of his mind.

As the history of the lost rose is pieced together, it reminds Bess and Billy—and Amos, too—that Christmas truly is the season of miracles.

“Filled with heart-twisting moments amid the sweet anticipation of love, this story will charm readers into the holiday spirit.”

My thoughts:  Suzanne has done it again.  I have always enjoyed her books and look forward to reading her new releases.  I loved all the talk of roses in this book as roses are my favorites.  Especially the old heritage breeds with a long history.  In this book you’ll find such a rose and a wonderful girl who is the caretaker of the rose.  This girl lost her true love, her soulmate if you will, and has chosen to become engaged to marry another.  Her soulmate is no longer of her faith and she has given up hope of him returning.  But what happens when he does return?  Right there on her farm waiting with her for a mystery rose to open!  Will their love rekindle and remind them of what is most important in life or will Bess marry a man she does not love.   I loved the book and the stories that went along with the roses.  And of course the chatterbox of a friend!
