Love

I have read and enjoyed other books by this author and this book is no exception. The plot is awesome, love how this story unfolds, and it was so real. Loving and being rejected by someone you love, a catalyst between these two, Leah and Jeb. Then there is Simon, I wanted to shake him, but he does have an addiction, and it may seem simple to me to stay away, for him it wasn't. An odd marriage, yes, but can these to forge a loving relationship, two broken souls, that have somehow found each other. When the final pages were turned, I wanted more, I wanted to stay with these two, and I can picture and see what could happen, but you need to turn the covers of this book yourself. Enjoy! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Zebra and was not required to give a positive review.

An emotional Amish tale!

Jebs Wife by Patricia Johns is a sweet Amish romance novel. I thought Jebs Wife was well-written with developed characters and steady pacing. I liked that Rosmanda and Levi from Thursdays Bride are included in this story, so we get to catch up with them. Jebs Wife can be read as a standalone. Leah Riehl is trying to recover from the loss of Matthew. She loved him and he broke her heart. She cannot believe how quickly Matthew moved on and that he picked an eighteen-year-old as his bride. Leah raised her younger brother, Simon after their parents died when she was sixteen. She feels responsible for his behavior that has caused concern in their community. Leah is shocked when she discovers that Simon has been playing cards and owes an exorbitant amount of money. Jebadiah King is a widower who had a less than ideal first marriage. Jeb lost his wife in a barn fire and became badly scarred while trying to save her. He has become reclusive with only his uncle, Peter for company. Peter has died and put an unexpected clause in his will. A marriage of convenience would solve Leah, Simon, and Jebs problems. We soon see that a marriage of convenience is easier said than done. Jebs Wife is an emotional story. It touches on some unique situations for an Amish novel which I liked. There are some issues that the feminist in me rebelled at. That a womans worth is measured by whether or not she has a husband and children is one of them. I liked Jeb with his no-nonsense outlook and introverted ways (being an introvert myself, I could relate). Leah was the perfect counterpart for Jeb. We see that being part of a community as well as a family can have its ups and downs. We see that whether you are Amish or English, you have the same types of problems. Jebs Wife is a special story that I enjoyed reading. I am looking forward to Patricia Johns next Amish novel. Jebs Wife is a poignant tale that will linger with you long after you finish the last page.
