About book Love Finds You In Sugarcreek, Ohio (2010)
Serena Miller totally captures the essence of Sugarcreek, Ohio, and unleashes it on every page of this riveting romance. Never will you confuse Sugarcreek with Lancaster or Lewistown. The differences in the towns and in the Amish who live there are clear, but Miller doesn't stop there. This story isn't just about the Amish - although they play a crucial role in the plot. It's also about the Englisch and their relationships with the Amish. It's ultimately about relationships - about making the ones that you have the best that you can. It's about making choices that honor God and will line up with His will in every aspect of your life - your career, your family, your friends, and your finances.Which is not to say that this is a heavy or boring book - because no statement could be further from the truth. I turned page after page of this story, completely intrigued, waiting to find out about Joe's past and Rachel's future. I couldn't wait to learn how Bobby would react to his new surroundings and when Joe would be able to be himself. It was action-packed, both of the explosive and emotional variety. I couldn't put it down.All of the characters added another layer of depth and interest to the story. Their interactions were fascinating, and each were vitally important to the growth of the Rachel and Joe and the suspense of the story overall. The contrast between Joe's "exciting" life and Sugarcreek's usual calm upped the action ante and made me read even faster.Which is why this book has been turned into a movie. You'll be able to watch it on the UP Channel on June 1. Be sure to check it out!I received a free copy of Love Finds You in Sugarcreek, Ohio from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.

It moves from a father's love for his son to a murder mystery. The pace is steady and an easy read. The characters are likeable and the story line is serious, yet humorous in parts. The chapters describing Joe’s experience working in the Amish community could have been condensed through editing. Overall, it was an enjoyable read. I recommend to romance and mystery novel lovers.I received this book free from Summerside Press through the Litfuse Reviewer Program for an honest and unbiased review.
