About the Book

Book: Strength in the Storm

Author: Laurel Blount

Genre: Amish Romance

Release date: February 22, 2022

In this touching Amish romance, a brokenhearted woman and a steadfast man discover that the safest place to weather tragedy is in each other’s arms.

After the murder of both her parents, Emma Hochstedler returns to the small community of Johns Mill, hoping to resume her quiet existence. Reclaiming her place proves harder than expected—especially now that a movie is being made about her family’s loss. But then, an old friend offers her a lifeline that gives her new purpose.

Amish builder Samuel Christner is the biggest—and the strongest—man in town. In fact, the gentle giant has only one weakness—Emma. Even though she broke his heart, he won’t let his childhood sweetheart face her troubles alone. He hires Emma as a nurse for his elderly aunt…and finds himself falling for her all over again.

But while romance blooms, storm clouds gather. And when darkness falls, it will take all Sam’s strength—and all their love—to see them through.

The first thing I am going to say about "Strength in the Storm" by Laurel Blount is that I loved this book and I really hope there is going to be a third book. This is the second book in the series and yes I believed a reader would enjoyed and easily follow the story without reading the first, but as always I recommend reading the series in order to get the full impact of the full story.

My favorite quotes from.”Shelter in the Storm” by Laurel Blount.
“Trusting was a big part of her faith, and Emma had learned the harder it was to trust Gott, the more important it was.”
“He had to follow without being able to see the path for himself, to trust in the character of the one leading him.”
“How we look on the outside doesn’t matter very much anyhow. It’s the inside that counts.”

Yes. once again a book made the tears fall because the books deal with murder and one of the characters is named Joseph. ( not that the name is bad just really personal ).

Even through the tears fell I recommend this book to all readers who likes clean and inspirational Amish books.

There is a character that seems bitter but in the end of the story we see that she is just lonely.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

Definitely a 5 star series

A word from Laurel:

Oh, I can’t wait for you to meet Emma and Sam—they’re one of my all-time favorite story couples! And what an intriguing combination they are: a gentle man known far and wide for his physical strength…and a heartbroken woman—his boyhood sweetheart—who’s his one and only weakness.

Don’t you just love a good second chance romance? I know I do! There’s something so satisfying about seeing a broken love story beautifully mended. Of course, it won’t be easy. Emma and Sam’s story is mixture of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears—lots and lots of bumps on the road for these two. But they’re about to discover that love and faith shine their brightest in life’s darkest moments—and that trouble only makes a hard-won “happily ever after” even sweeter!
