About this listen
When two young Amish men find love, will they risk losing everything?
In a world where every detail of life - down to the width of a hat brim - is dictated by God and the all-powerful rules of the community, two men dare to imagine a different way. At 18, Isaac Byler knows little outside the strict Amish settlement of Zebulon, Minnesota, where there is no rumspringa for exploration beyond the boundaries of their insular world. Isaac knows he'll have to officially join the church and find a wife before too long, but he yearns for something else - something he can't name.
Dark tragedy has left carpenter David Lantz alone to support his mother and sisters, and he can't put off joining the church any longer. But when he takes on Isaac as an apprentice, their attraction grows amid the sweat and sawdust. David shares his sinful secrets, and he and Isaac struggle to reconcile their shocking desires with their commitment to faith, family, and community. Now that they've found each other, are they willing to lose it all?
Contains mature themes.

Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he's sailing to the fledging colony, where he'll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family's financial gain. Then pirates strike and he's kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World. Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don't deserve peace. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel's father.

The practice of ministering to the widows and orphans is reflected in this story of Christina Willems, a young woman from Kansas, in 1884, who is determined to reopen the poor farm she manages after a fire devastates the property. She finds opposition from many surprising corners but an unlikely ally in a lumber mill owner who wants nothing more than to hold himself aloof from the world and its troubles. Levi Jonnson agrees to take care of one of the poor farm residents, a young blind boy - and in doing so opens himself up to Christina's world in ways he wouldn't have imagined.

Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people - of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town - could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged - or unsmitten!

It’s 1927, and the National Park Service is in its youth when Margie, an avid naturalist, lands a coveted position alongside the park rangers living and working in the unrivaled splendor of Mount Rainier’s long shadow. But Chief Ranger Ford Brayden is still haunted by his father’s death on the mountain, and the ranger takes his work managing the park and its crowd of visitors seriously. The job of watching over an idealistic senator’s daughter with few practical survival skills seems a waste of resources.

Stolen moments...
3.5 Stars for the narrator. I like John Solo but sometimes he whispers too much and it is too low to hear what he is saying. He did this often in this book. I had to turn my radio up in my car multiple times because of it. I will credit him for me actually liking the story more. Through his narration, I was able to feel more emotionally when it was read to me rather than me reading on my own.
Giving the story 4 stars. Still hate the abrupt ending but that's what book 2 is for. 😆

Great trilogy
I realized that I really enjoy KA books,not a single one disappointed me.
I liked a lot this trilogy, with the second one being the most boring. Strength of Isaac and David, their love,but also their inner struggle kept me on the edge. I liked the end as well,it is hea, but realistic one for them and their families.
I have learned some details about Amish, that I didn't know before,which is additional plus.

A sweet story of queer love
At first I started reading because the idea of Amish gays made me giggle ( I am lgbtq+) but as the book went on I found myself actually relating to Issac and his circumstances. A cute easy read.

Original,creative,captivating,engrossing
The author explores gay invisibility in a dour world of disapproving Amish. Isaac and his fellow sect members in Minnesota have never seen a mirror "the devil's plaything," which encourages vanity. Nor have they spoken on phones, seen TV, films or read non-scripture books. What if one of them is gay, same as the 4% of people in the Western world? The story explores the characters in this environment, the attempt to establish love despite its danger and the effect of this vacuum life on different men.
I loved it & can't wait to listen to the remaining audiobooks in the series.

A Forbidden Ability to put down the book
This is the first in a series of 3 books. Because the premise was a little over the top, my expectations were not super high. I cannot state strongly enough how much the book exceeded my expectations.
The incident that changed everything was a rumspringa ending in death. After partying hard with crystal meth, a young amish man drowns in the lake, naked, along with two amish girls; one the Deacon’s daughter. This causes a hundred people from the Amish community to resettle in a different state with stricter rules. No more rumspringas and, among other things, running water is now a forbidden luxury.
Now at age 22, the younger brother of the drowned boy is the best carpenter in the settlement. He’s given an apprentice, age 18, with whom his sister is in love. The two men are both pressured to officially join the church and “take a wife” which is problematic because they are both gay. And in love with each other.
This series is in my top 10 of 100 romance novels. I highly recommend it.

Gay Amish, Who Knew
I absolutely love this audio book. It was a quite a change from the usual Amish fare. The narrator was excellent. I cannot wait to listen to the next book in the series. It should be interesting to learn how their story continues.
