Amy Clipston

In this latest installment in the Amish Legacy series, a young couple struggles to overcome fears and misunderstandings to forge a loving and solid relationship. Kira is visiting Pennsylvania from her Indiana home in order to help her Aunt Ellen take care of her children and her newborn baby. However, Kira is also trying to recover from her broken engagement, so she is understandably uncertain when she meets Jayden, with whom she feels an instant connection. This sweet and clean Christian novel tells the story of these two sweethearts and how they overcome their fears about a new relationship. Along the way, Kira and her new friends play matchmaker to an older couple.

Readers familiar with the other novels in this series will encounter old friends as well as a new part of the continuing storyline. However, this novel can also be read as a standalone novel. The Christian message is overt, and the story contains no descriptive violence, steamy scenes, or strong language.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own.… (más)

I have had an ARC of this book for what feels like forever. Every few months I went back and started reading the book but lost interest quite quickly. I have enjoyed almost every Amy Clipston book in the past but this one just missed the mark for me. It felt a like a very stereotypical Amish novel. Maybe I will give this book a chance in the future, but that day is not today.

Oh boy. I have very mixed feelings about this book. Let me explain.
I am one of Clipston's biggest fans (if I do say so myself). I have not read one of her books that I did not like until this one. I often recommend her novels to others (the Roadside Assistance trilogy is phenomenal.) One huge compliment I have about this book is that I was drawn into the story despite what I did not like.
A Welcome at Our Door was a bit different. I still love Clipston's writing. I felt like the romance between Drew and Cindy could have been in a YA romance novel. :( The novel was a bit cheesy and I felt the Romeo and Juliet vibes. (that was alright, I guess)
Even though this was not my favorite book, I will still be reading more works written by Amy Clipston in the future.
