The Unexpected Caller by Shelley Shepard Gray

 


Kroosreadsandreviews:

This was such a new and unexpected plot line that was so interesting.  The Amish are quick to marry after the death of their spouse and for this story to have a club just for widows was so enthralling.  

Leanna was such a remarkable woman who looked out for the needs of others.  She was a little hesitant and sometimes changed her mind but she had such great character traits!

Evan was also a little indecisive but he was such a great father to his four boys.  I loved the relationships that he had with them.  Jeremy, in particular, while young, was quick to offer sound advice!

There were also lots of other great characters--Bumble, Becca, Doreen and so many more.

Book Blurb:

Leanna Mast never imagined she'd be a widow at forty-one, but it seems God had other plans. After mourning her husband for a year, she realizes it's time to start living again. But her community expects her to remarry, and after living on her own, she's not eager to start cooking and cleaning in another man's home.

When she's invited to join the Amish Widows Club, she discovers a place of belonging she didn't even know she needed. In this group of women who support each other through sharing books, stories, and companionship, Leanna immediately feels welcome. She's sure her life as a widow will bring her the fulfillment she craves . . . until handsome, kind Evan Keim comes calling. He's everything she never knew she wanted, but it seems the Lord has thrown another wrench into the life she expected to have.

  Kroosreadsandreviews thoughts: I loved being in the Pacific Northwest in the 1890's as the characters progress towards more updates.  It was interesting to see the thoughts behind the roads that were laid and how mail was distributed.   I loved Mary and her fierce determination and resilience to survive amidst a harsh climate.   She took a lot of risks in order to achieve her dreams.   There seemed to be a lot of loose ends but maybe those will weave together in the next book? Thanks to the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own. About the book: In 1888 Mary Edwards Gerritse is a witty and confident young woman who spends as much time as possible outdoors on the rugged Oregon coast where she and her husband, John, have settled. The two are a formidable pair who are working hard to prove their homesteading claim and build a family. But as Mary faces struggles of young motherhood and questions about her family of origin, she realizes...

  The mystery of who is after Pilar captivates the reader.  Thankfully she has Chase and his family to support her throughout the challenges.   I listened to this as an audiobook and I wanted to speak to this as well. She did a great job being clear and articulate.   Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

  I listened to this as an audiobook.  I really enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life.  She had the ability to provide different voices for the characters.  The narrator also had the ability to bring the suspense to her voice! The story grabbed me from the beginning as Cheyenne tries to avoid those who are after her.  She is cunning and so intelligent in her cyber life.  It brought a unique aspect to a Love Inspired Suspense story.  Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the audiobook.  The opinions are my own.
