It's more like stopped about halfway through than "read", but since that isn't a category. For me, especially after reading so much of what I did this summer, the dialogue was so stilted and formal. Even considering the primary characters are Amish, it felt extremely stilted. The book wasn't overly preachy (at least to where I was able to get), but it just wasn't doing it for me, and I opted to cut my losses and move on.

I put reading A Time to Love off for a long time because I thought it would be more about war than it actually was. A Time to Love is a sweet and simple second chance romance novel. Matthew and Jenny reunite while Jenny is at her grandmother's house recovering from the injuries she incurred in a car bomb attack.
The story line of this book is unique and it's a quick read. There are some inconsistencies in the story, minor details. Overall, it is an enjoyable read for those who enjoy Amish fiction.

This was a nice easy (listen) for me. I only tried it as it was included 'free' with my audible membership.
I don't usually listen to American narrators, but found this one an exception.
The story was gentle, nothing too exciting really. Whilst I enjoyed the family aspects of this book,
Jenny & her grandmother plus Matthew and his family, I did think that the time Jenny took to recover, have more surgery, getting married etc, should have taken longer than what was portrayed in the book. Also, there was some inconsistencies with regards to Jenny's laptop, but this is fiction after all.
Saying that, I will prob listen to the next book in the series during my upcoming holiday.

If you are looking for a very undemanding read, this is it. It does have flaws, most notably that it didn't quite feel authentically Amish, and, particularly if you are a quilter, a distinct lack of quilting given that the series is named "Quilts of Lancaster County". It could have been so much more.

I've been able to download, for free, all three in this series from Amazon. This is the first book, and while Amish fiction is not my favorite, this was a decent book. It is a bit of a stretch even for me to consider that a modern woman in 2013 would want to "become" Amish, but other than that, it was a nice story. Good back story on the main character, Jenny, nice tidbits about Amish life, and of course, the prerequisite love story (it is called a time to love, after all!).
