Review: Ties That Bind by Cindy Woodsmall

A month or so ago I got an email asking if I wanted to be a part of Cindy Woodsmall's launch team for her new book Gathering the Threads. You can just bet I jumped on that one! I'd read book two in the series but not the first one so they sent it to me.

Arianna likes her life. She's happy with her siblings. She's close to getting her cafe. Things are going great until her former best friend Quill comes back. And he's all but admitted he's here to lead one of her family members away from the Amish faith. What she doesn't know is that her parents have him investigating a situation that had the potential to turn her world on its side and give it a good shaking.

I'm giving this book 4 stars. (Also, I'm gonna paragraph this one, instead of the usual way.)

I liked book 2 better, although if I'd read them in order I might feel differently. I loved the characters, but I really just wanted to get to the part where they knew. There were a few times when I had to stop reading though because it got really intense. Not intense, more like, "Oh my word.... when she finds out about that it's gonna be BAD!" Don't get me wrong, it was an incredibly good book, and you should absolutely totally 100% read it. (But only if you like Amish stories, duh. Although, it isn't all Amish. There is a DEFINITE mix!) Bottom line... you'll love it, but read them in order for goodness sake!

I received this book for free from the publisher.
