Title: The Kissing Bridge
By Tricia Goyer
The Gist:
Rebecca has everything she needs to begin following her
calling of becoming a nurse. The
problem is that Amish women are not suppose to following any calling other than
being a wife and a mother. But
when the time comes, she leaves a note for her family, and walks away from the
life that she’s know to continue her education.
On her way to Oregon, Rebecca decides to make a stop in
Montana to visit a friend of hers that had left the Amish for love. Little did she think that she would get
her own shot at love in the form of risk taking Amishman Caleb.
A trip into the wilderness reveals that there is also
more to Caleb than meets the eye.
Only time, and this story, will tell if these two young people, hanging
by the fringes of being Amish are really meant to be together.
What I thought:
This story was very enjoyable. It moved quickly, and smoothly, taking
readers along on the love story of Caleb and Rebecca. The characters introduced in Montana were wonderfully
introduced, and I was very happy to find out that I will be able to return to
this happy little town since this book is a part of a series!
I love reading Amish fiction, and this story had an
angle that I hadn’t read before, with Rebecca wanting to keep being Amish, but
needing to become a nurse. The
love story between her and Caleb was written exquisitely. I always judge a love story by if it
makes me smile, and this novel pasted that test with flying colors.
My only critique is that I felt the writing got a
little flustered in the middle when Caleb and Rebecca were trying to weed
through each other’s lies and omissions.
They seemed to be pretty wishy-washy with each other going from lust, to
disgust, and straight back to puppy love in a very short time.
All in all, I very much enjoyed this story, and look
forward to reading more of the stories in the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors
series.
