Phoebe Kurtz is helping her sister with her booth at the marketplace when she notices Kevin, her father’s employee.

love along the way.

Reeling in Love by Kathleen Fuller

Nina Stoll and Ira Yoder are just friends. Just friends and fishing buddies. Every Saturday afternoon, they have a picnic at their favorite fishing hole and see who can out fish the other. Until Nina starts to wonder if there’s more.

Her plans to share her feelings go awry, and circumstances seem destined to keep Nina and Ira apart. With both Nina and Ira confused and hurting, it’s going to take courage, some help from the community matchmakers, and a little bit of divine intervention for Nina and Ira to realize they’re each other’s perfect catch.

Picnics and Prospects by Vannetta Chapman

Faith Troyer is claustrophobic, and David Lapp builds tiny houses. They went on a date years ago with disastrous results. Now that they’re in their late twenties, their families and friends are beginning to wonder if either will ever find that special someone. When a picnic outing is diverted by the discovery of a package of letters dating back to the 1970s, they take it upon themselves to find answers to a mystery that causes them to rethink their past and consider their future.

My Review:

Some of the best Amish genre authors have come together to create these delightful stories. All the stories center around a picnic theme All the stories are sweet romance stories.

Candlelight Sweethearts by Kelly Irvin:

The main characters are Kevin Weaver who wants a house of his own. When Phoebe Kurtz invites him to a youth outing Kevin finds himself out of his comfort zone. He is a pretty serious guy and a few years older than the others in the group. Phoebe shows him that you can still have fun and it has nothing to do with maturity. This is sweet story that will tug at your heart strings.

Reeling in Love by Kathleen Fuller:

This story has ties to the Amish Brides of Birch Creek series. Nina Strolls finds herself in love with her best friend and fishing companion. Ira has some people in his life who are difficult. Can he see that best friends make the best life time long companion in relationships?

Candlelight Sweethearts by Kelly Irvin:

Ester Marie has a stuttering problem and has tried many things to try and fix her stuttering and finds nothing she does fixes it. She is hard working and enjoys her job at the local grocery store. Then her boss has a heart attack and his son, Jasper needs to step in. Neither one of them has a lot of confidence in themselves but, is attracted to each other.

Picnics and Prospects by Vannetta Chapman:

David and Faith come together trying to solve a mystery of trying to find the owners of some letter they found written in 1970s. Not only did they find letters but a puppy.

I think my favorite story is Candlelight Sweethearts by Kelly Irvin however, I enjoyed all of them.
