Shane Zimmerman had an Amish name but he was not Amish, even though he lived in Amish country.  In fact his father had left the Amish to marry his mother, and while he had no aspirations to be Amish, he did love his Amish grandparents, and he loved working with the animals on the Amish farms, where he was called upon for his services as a veterinarian.  A young widower, he carried around a grudge against the vocation of midwives and their practice of using herbal treatments after his wife dies during her pregnancy.  He blamed the red raspberry tea she had drank, but it truth it was an aneurysm that killed her.
A reckless driver has left midwife Kristi Lapp laying critically injured along the side of the road.  She was sure she was dreaming about the good looking young man who had rescued her, but was surprised when he kept showing up at the hospital to visit her, and was also surprised to realize he was her new neighbor, the vet.  The attraction between them is measurable and the sparks fly every time they are near each other.  Her father Ira is determined to put a stop to all of this foolishness, he cannot loose another child going over the fence.
Laura V. Hilton is such a talented author, she pulls this story together and leaves you ready for more!  I loved these new characters in this new series and while it stands alone, you have to hope we will meet Shane and Kristi again.  A beautiful story, that you will not be able to put down!  336 pages US $10.99 5 stars
