The Promise of Palm Grove by Shelley Shepard Gray Book Review and Giveaway

The Promise of Palm Grove (Avon Inspire, January 2015)
Leona must decide: Does she follow the path set out before her? Or take a chance with only the promise of what could be to guide her?
A young Amish woman finds herself torn between the man she’s pledged to wed and the man her heart desires in this heartwarming story of chance, duty, and choice in the face of love—the first volume in the beloved New York Times bestselling author’s new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series.
Amish bride-to-be Leona is thrilled to be in Florida, on a mini-vacation in the pretty town of Pinecraft. Her girlfriends think she’s happy because she’s away from the stress of wedding planning. They have no idea that Leona’s real joy is in being away from her fiancé.
Edmund is a good man, and will make a decent husband . . . just not for Leona. The more time she spends with him and his overbearing ways, the less she wants to be his wife. Her cousins are sure Edmund is the right man for her-and their certainty makes Leona begin to doubt herself. But when a chance encounter with a wayward cat brings her face-to-face with a handsome, fun-loving Amish man named Zachary Kauffman, Leona’s faced with two vastly different futures.

My review;

I just read "The Promise of Palm Grove", and I found it to be a great beginning to a new series by Shelley Shepard Gray called, "Amish Brides of Pinecraft" . Leona who is a soon to be bride is on vacation. Everyone things that she and her fiancée are great for each other. Leona is not so sure. While in Florida she meets another man who is totally different and offers her a chance at a different kind of life. Which one will she choose? does she have enough  courage?  I give this book s 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse publishing Group for the purpose of a  review and all opinions are my own.
