Publisher Description
A gently humorous just friends romance from Leslie Gould, threaded with heart-deep characters and the timeless traditions of simple Amish life.
It's love at first sight for Adam Slaybaugh, yet while Joanna Grebel finds him attractive and is intrigued when he declares his interest, she's less certain of the potential for a romantic future together. Instead, she proposes they be "just friends," but Adam's not willing to settle for anything less than a romantic relationship. In response, he leaves Lancaster County for Florida, and soon after, Joanna begins courting Jacob Byer--someone she deems a much more suitable match.
When Adam returns to Lancaster County years later to pursue a career in his grandparents' successful home renovation business, he finds Joanna suffering from a broken heart. Misunderstandings and matchmaking schemes begin a tender journey of healing and romance--but is Adam's love enough to finally win Joanna over?
"When They Met Again is a tender friends-to-more love story that will delight fans of Amish fiction."--BETH WISEMAN, bestselling and award-winning author
"The Shop Down the Lane is a sweet, tender story . . . a must read for fans of Amish fiction."--KATHLEEN FULLER, USA Today bestselling author
For readers of Beverly Lewis, Wanda E. Brunstetter, and Shelley Shepard Gray, a sweet Amish romance with matchmaking grandmas and themes of enemies to lovers, he falls first, and love at first sight versus "just friends."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Gould's sweet second entry in the Letters from Lancaster County series (after The Shop Down the Lane) sees polar opposites slowly find their way to each other. Adam Slaybaugh and Joanna Grebel meet in Lancaster County, where they're both staying with their grandparents. The chemistry is instant, but outgoing Adam comes on too strong and reticent Joanna rebuffs him, worried she's not ready to start courting. She begins seeing Jacob Byer instead, and Adam moves to Pinecraft, Fla. After several years—and a trip to Pinecraft during which their chemistry reignites—Adam returns to Pennsylvania to take over his grandparents' construction company. When Jacob breaks up with Joanna, Adam sends her anonymous letters of encouragement but later lies about it, potentially risking his future with her. Though the buildup drags on a bit, readers will have no trouble rooting for the charming leads as they tackle plenty of humorous hurdles and miscommunications on their way to a happy ending. This small-town Amish romance delights.
