The Amish Bride of Ice Mountain by Kelly Long

This book was sent to me to read and review, my thoughts and opinions are all my own and I was not influenced in any way. I absolutely love books on Marriages of Convenience. As a child I use to read Grace Livingston Hill, Emily Loring and later Glenna Finney. I loved the whole concept and the tensions that became overwhelming as they fell in love and didn't think the other one wanted to make the marriage real. I also love Amish books so this one is a no brainer for me. I loved it, and I'm sure you will too.

Professor Jude Lyons has always been fascinated by the Amish. Now to finish his doctorate he has come to Ice Mountain to write a book on the Mountain Amish.
