Summary: :|
Review: This is the second book in The Wedding Ring series by Beverly Bird. The first book was about Adam Wallace and the pain that he goes through as he is reunited with his kidnaped son after four years. His son was found in an Amish community, where Adam has decided to live after marrying Mariah. Adam is upset that four children from the community have been kidnaped, so he calls in his brother Jake, who is a police officer and a fine investigator. This book picks up the story from there. Jake hates the Amish way of life and their rules and he hates that his brother has decided to marry and live there. Jake plans on helping to find these children and than getting the heck out of there. Katya Essler and her four children are staying with Adam and Mariah for the time being. Katya left her alcoholic abusive husband, but has no way to support herself. Katya hates depending on the charity of others and decides that helping Jake could be a way to contribute something back. Jake hates the idea because he finds himself attracted to Katya, but he gives in anyway. Jake never planned on falling for Katya and what good would it do anyway. She live within a strict Amish community that he wants no part of. Katya and Jake may not have a choice. Their feelings for each other are strong and hard to deny. But, to have a future with each other, one of them will have to give up the only life they have ever known. This book was better than the first one because Jake stays true to his character. He hates the Amish rules and way of life and that never changes. He does, however, find that God and family are an important part of life. I would not recommend that you run out and buy this book, but it is an okay read, so borrow it if you can.
