Falling for the Amish Bad Boy by Emma Miller is a cute story. The story is easy to read. I enjoyed getting to know Beth Kauffman, her father, and her many sisters along with Jack Lehman. I like how the Kauffman sisters watch out for their father who is suffering from early-onset dementia. I enjoyed following Beth and Jack's relationship. Beth has a perception of Jack based on what she was told by her sister, Willa and Honeycomb Amish grapevine. We get to see how her opinion of Jack changes as they spend time together. Beth and Jack's journey to happily ever after is sweet, but it is not smooth. There are a couple of bumps and potholes along the way. The story allows us to see that gossip can be harmful. As rumors move from person to person the information gets farther from the truth. We also learn that there is more than one side to a story. We see that what we perceive to have happened is colored by our emotions. I like that we learn about the importance of trust in a relationship. The epilogue nicely wrapped up the story. I like that we get to catch up with Elden and Millie from Her Surprise Christmas Courtship. Falling for the Amish Bad Boy is the second book in the Seven Amish Sisters series, and it can be read as a standalone. The only negatives are that the story plays out in a predictable manor and the repetition of key details. Falling for the Amish Bad Boy is a touching tale with sisterly squabbles, a dad with dementia, disruptive rumors, construction of store, and a rocky romance.
