Beverly Lewis is the queen of the Amish romance! I like reading Amish stories because it is like reading an old fashioned novel and that really appeals to me. Maybe it was because it took me so long to finish it but I felt in some parts of the story fell a little flat and was a little silly. The story flowed in a continuous stream with very little blips of excitement or drama. Only brief hints of conflict, anger or frustration were were given. In that way I think the book was a little simplistic and not realistic. The big suspense was in the beginning when the little Amish girl Sarah fell from the carriage and got lost and after that all you wondered about was if Maryanna and Joshua would hook up and if Jodi, the Englisher could work things out with her guy. Of course the reader expects a happy ending and it was there but there didnt seem to be much depth to the story. Still I really liked it as a perfect read for a late summer day.

Goodreads review by Rhonda Gayle on April 17, 2013

Beverly Lewis is a fixture among Amish fiction authors and I was thrilled to have the chance to read The Guardian. Little Sarah and her siblings view the Englischer, Jodi Winfield, as a guardian angel who saved her. This is a wonderful book that blends the two worlds as Jodi is "adopted" into the Am......more

The Guardian (Home to Hickory Hollow #3) 4 stars This is my first book that I have read in Home to Hickory Hollow. I can see how the other books would fit in but I thought the story was good at standing on its own. I really enjoyed reading the Guardian. Though I have to admit to shedding a few tears r......more
