about the book

A witness in hiding.

An enemy with a vendetta.

After discovering her best friend’s dead body, Miriam Troyer knows two things: the killer is the same man who murdered her husband… and he wants her dead. With the culprit in pursuit, Miriam goes on the run with her baby and seeks refuge in the Amish community she left behind. However, after an attack leaves Miriam with no memory, Caleb Schultz, a man from her past, must step in to protect her and her daughter. But the criminal is determined to silence Miriam for good and will stop at nothing to get his revenge.

review

miriam troyer's on the run for her life—and her baby's life—and ends up running right back to the community she left behind over a decade ago. caleb schultz remembers the person she used to be, but when an accident leaves her with no memory, he can't resist helping her. but how much help is he, really, when the danger seems to find them at every turn?

dana r. lynn's hiding the amish witness is a fast-paced read. though the killer is known from the beginning, there's still suspense in how much damage he can do before he's caught. readers of the amish country justice will love all the familiar characters and connections who come alongside miriam and caleb to help and protect (though a newer reader might be a little overwhelmed).

i wish the romance was a little more developed. i get that they were spending a lot of time together, but it still felt out of the blue when caleb, at least, realized he was in love.

still, hiding the amish witness could be quite the exciting read for a reader of romantic suspense, especially if you love amish characters, faith amidst chaos, and "prodigal son" type stories.

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
 

considerations:

—spice: kisses only
