Book: His Pretend Amish Bride

Author: Rachel J. Good

Genre: Amish Romance

Release Date: June 30, 2020

In a small Amish town like Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, one solution to an indiscretion is to get married. Or perhaps, fake a respectable engagement . . .

Priscilla Ebersol has a fulfilling life teaching special needs children—until her boyfriend’s humiliating betrayal ruins her reputation and threatens her job. Shunned for something she didn’t do, Priscilla throws herself into a project on the benefits of camel’s milk for autism. Her research leads her to a newly opened Amish camel farm, where she discovers far more than she bargained for. . .

When a pushy Englisch company shows interest in shy, handsome Gabriel Kauffman’s camel farm, he struggles to get out of a sticky negotiation. Lovely, well-spoken Priscilla appears at the perfect moment and defends Gabe’s business so well that she is mistaken for his wife, a pretense they both secretly wish could be true. But though their bond deepens, Priscilla’s heart is still wounded, and Gabe battles with a troubling secret. And when a misunderstanding comes between them, it will take faith, honesty, and trust in God to overcome the past—and to allow their partnership to blossom into something more.

My Thoughts on His Pretend Amish Bride:

This was such a fun book to read. It read quickly and yet slowly at the same time. Meaning that I loved reading the book but I didn’t devour it all in one sitting. It’s actually a thicker book than you’d think.

I read the first chapter of this book as a preview in the back of the first book of the series and I couldn’t wait to read it. After all, who’s ever heard of an Amish camel farmer who sells the camel milk? And honestly, I’d never heard of drinking camel milk so I wanted to learn more.

Priscilla is a wonderful loyal Amish girl who has her heartbroken by her boyfriend who she thought she’d marry. He gets caught in a compromising position by the bishop. Only it wasn’t her he was with. Yet he lets everyone believe it was her. She’s humiliated and in danger of losing her job teaching special needs children. What can she do?

She won’t confess before the church because she did nothing wrong yet she also won’t tell everyone that she wasn’t the girl with him.

Add in Priscilla falling for the handsome camel farmer and things get going. But then also add in a power English couple stealing from him and trying to take over his business with any means necessary. Oh, and did I mention that Gabriel hates talking to people and often gets tongue-tied?

You’re going to love this book. It’s a great read I highly recommend and I can’t wait for the third book that I got to read a sneak peek preview of.

More from Rachel

A few years ago, I passed the Amish camel farm in Bird-in-Hand, PA. As an author, seeing anything new or different always piques my interest, so I went for a visit. Not only did I explore the farm and store, but I also bought camel’s milk to drink. I think it’s important to do in-depth research for the settings and information I include in my Amish novels.

I was fascinated to discover camels usually bond to one milker, only give a little milk each day, and are extremely expensive to buy. All of those are reasons why camel’s milk is so expensive. It costs $15 for a pint. Much pricier than cow’s milk.

And if you’re wondering how camel’s milk tastes, the best way I can think of to describe it is a slightly salty version of powdered milk. It’s more watery than cow’s milk.

Because I grew up drinking powdered milk during my early childhood years when we lived in Africa, I’d always vowed never again to drink it once we moved back to the United States. A vow I’ve kept. That was never a problem living in Pennsylvania, where there’s plenty of farmland, cow, and Amish, of course.

The camel’s milk was enough like powdered milk to make me gag. But because I want to be sure my books are authentic, I drank it. So, readers, now you know how much I care about you.

My concern for you also extends to more than just getting factual information correct. I pray for each and every one of you as I write my stories. I hope that they will touch your heart and bring you closer to God.
