Sarah Price, bestselling author of Amish Christian Romances, brings her twenty-five years of experience living among the Amish and from growing up Mennonite to the pages of her novels and novellas, in order to present a truly authentic Amish experience just for her readers

I'm on Chapter Seven now!

What do you think of Alejandro and the story so far?

I'm on Chapter 7 too. I think Alejandro is ready for a change in his life. He likes a break anyways.

I like the story, its different.

Yeah, it's definitely different.

I honestly was surprised Amanda's parents allowed him to stay, considering he was awfully... Personal with their daughter so far, lol.

I'm trying to get this from the library.

sounds like one I would like to read

Well the author wrote to me and she is willing to answer questions if we have any. She also wants us to think about what real life person Viper is based on.

The only thing that comes to my mind is Desi Arnaz xDDD

Viper is big in hip hop music and dance. She told me who it was but I will give others time to guess.

Well I finished it. Really enjoyed it, but it leaves you with a cliff hanger so you will want to get book 2.

Lol, that figures. I'm still on chapter seven, but once the kids I'm babysitting get to sleep, I should be able to read some.

Finished it last night! Should've known there would be a cliffhanger...

I warned you lol

What did you think of it overall?

I really enjoyed the characters. Thought the story was very different. The story kept my interest. Thought that the parents letting him stay was a bit unusual but he did take care of her and they were happy about that. Will like to see where the story goes now.

Oh and Pitt Bull is the singer that Viper is suppose to be like.

The story itself was interesting, but I didn't really like the characters that well.

Amanda was too wishy washy and naive. I know she's Amish and all, but she doesn't know what a limo is?

Alejandro was nice enough, but I figured he would've understood what sort of situation he was putting Amanda and her family in if he was so accustomed to attention from the paparazzi. And, seriously, he doesn't know what a lantern is???

Amanda's parents were stupid for inviting Alejandro to stay with them in the first place, without contacting an elder for permission.

And the Bishop was an ass. Amanda had done nothing to deserve being thrown out of her community. I get it, the crowds were bothering the rest of the community, but you think he'd be more willing to go the police and press charges than to send an innocent and young girl away from everything she has ever known. Neither is ideal for the Amish, but I figured the charges were the lesser of the two evils.

And there were several different ways it could've ended and made more sense. I guess my frustration with the characters just got to me after a while...
