All I want is my happily-ever-after.
That's all I've wanted since meeting Noah Miller.
From the day we met, the world has tried to keep Noah and me from being together, but now that I'm carrying his child, no one will be able to tear us apart. Or so I hope. But Noah and I have made some mistakes along the way, and the consequences are impacting the people we love. Worse, there's a storm on the horizon, and it's sure to cause serious devastation.
If we can get through this, we'll finally be Rose and Noah; a family, forever.
But first we have to survive the road ahead. And happily-ever-after is a long way off.

BLURB from Goodreads
Your heart misleads you. That's what my friends and family say. But I love Noah. And he loves me. We met and fell in love in the sleepy farming community of Meadowview, while we rode our horses together through the grassy fields and in those moments in each other's arms. It should be ROSE & NOAH forever, easy. But it won't be. Because he's Amish. And I'm not.

BLURB from Netgalley
I left everything I knew behind.
But it was worth it. He was worth it.
No one thought an ordinary girl like me would last two minutes living with the Amish, not even me. There are a lot more rules and a lot less freedom, and I miss my family and the life I once had. Worst of all, Noah and I aren't even allowed to see each other. Not until I've proven myself.
If I can find a way to make it work, we'll be NOAH & ROSE
together forever.
But not everybody believes this is where I belong

INITIAL THOUGHTS
Well I'd been impatiently waiting for this one since finishing Belonging Bk#2 in the Tempatation Series, so you could say I had high expectations, and I had my own ideas how things may work out for Noah & Rose.
MY REVIEW
I downloaded an e-copy of this one from Netgalley, as soon as I was accepted to receive the title. (Thank you sooo much Netgalley). o say I'd been looking forward to it really is an understatement! Then I was invited by Kismet to be on the Blog Tour too . . .talk about perfect.
So the cover is set in the fields surrounding Noah & Rose's homes. Noah has literally swept Rose off her feet and is kissing her, the sky is blue . . . suggesting a perfect reunion for the pair but is it?
So would I pick this book up from a book store shelf just on the strength of the cover? Yes I would definitely pick it up and want to learn more about it.
Now to the novel itself, there's a little bit of recap, as we remember Noah learning that the "Goodbye" letter was not from Rose at all. So he has gone to her Aunt Debbie's and ended up rescuing her from the warped Amish Weaver boy.
They kissed and cuddled and a whole lot more and yes Rose is pregnant! Her brother Sam and his girlfriend Summer are there when she takes numerous pregnancy tests. They are being supportive, surprisingly so in Sam's case. Sam thinks that Rose should tell Noah and their father as soon as possible but summer agrees with Rose that she should wait until she is sure of where she want to live and if she still wants to be with Noah. Of course it's not just as simple as Rose being pregnant, as her father David does not want er with Noah or to become Amish and then the Amish obviously complicate things as Noah was previously engaged to Constance. Constance's father is not taking the engagement/wedding cancellation very well at all. In fact he is openly vindictive towards Noah and his family where ever possible.
When David, Rose's father finally finds out he immediately makes Rose consider all options available too her including Abortion, Adoption, and Single Parenthood. Rose is determined to have her child and have a life with Noah, be it in the Amish community or the English community. Can Noah & Rose and their families ever come to a suitable arrangement that will suit all parties?
There's lots of to-ing and fro-ing of ideas of what should and shouldn't be done, then there's a freak horrendous storm that literally brings Noah's home down to the ground. Sadly there are deaths in the Amish community, which spurs Noah into a somewhat unexpected action. Then the couple have problems with a fire and it takes Noah's Amish family and Rose's English family to come up with a perfect solution.
This book is rife with emotion and really takes you on a journey with the young couple. As with the other two books in this series there were still times I wanted to get hold of Noah and shake some sense into him! There were also time's in this book when I wanted to hug the young couple too. Karen Ann Hopkin's really brings the character's to life, and makes you feel as if they are friends, not two dimensional characters in a book. Again in this book I found myself intrigued by the Amish culture and their ways. Karen Ann Hopkins must have done some serious research on the culture prior to writing this book. I truly love this series and highly recommend it. I'd also say that this series will appeal to a wide age range and not exclusively to the YA group it is primarily aimed at. My 70+ year old mum loves this series too!
So did I enjoy the book? I truly loved it, and read it in one evening! I couldn't put it down.Would I recommend the book? I highly recommend this series.Would I read another book in this series? If there is going to be another yes. I'd love there to be another in this series. Would I read other books by this Author? I would absolutely have to checkout any titles by this Author.
ENA'S REVIEW
It was my daughter that introduced me to this series by reading out the blurb of book one to me from her Netgalley account. I admit to being skeptical to begin with, I mean I'm in my 70's why would I enjoy a "teen" book or Young Adult as my grandaughter Rachel of Rai29BookReadNReview tells me is the correct terminology these days. Anyhow to get to the point, I didn't expect to really enjoy reading book one, but I was pleasantly surprised. Then every time the next book was available my daughter requested it from Netgalley for me and I was lucky enough to be accepted for them all.
So now to about book three, I readily admit to wanting to get a hold of Noah's character and give him a good shake. I mean he expects Rose to change for him. If she does that how can she be the girl he fell in love with? Even as Rose tries to adapt to the Amish life it seems there is always someone there to put obstacles in her way. I am quite fascinated by the Amish culture, their sense of family sticking together and helping each other is to me the ideal all families should strive for. I enjoyed reading about the characters in book three even though there seemed to be more "English" ways filtering into the Amish, with their lack of understanding for Rose.
The love story between Rose and Noah was so well written, it was both poetic and poignant. The fact the couple strive to stay together despite everyone they know saying that their relationship is doomed.
I love the style and pace of Karen Ann Hopkins writing, she keeps you interested all the way through. I understand she lives near an Amish area . . .I'd love to know what they would think of the books. Her books are so realistic and believable.
So did I enjoy the book? I totally loved I seriously wouldn't put it down! Would I recommend the book? I highly recommend this whole series.Would I read another book in this series?I'd really love for there to be more in this series. Would I read other books by this Author? I would absolutely have to look closely at any titles by this Author.

Hi Sandra and Ena! Thank you so much for the great reviews! I'm so pleased that you both enjoyed the series. I do hope to write more stories about the other Meadowview Amish community characters, but we'll have to wait and see if it works out. Your promotion definitely helps the cause!
