I really loved this book. I fell in love with the characters and really felt what they felt. There were two story lines going on, and I loved them both. Usually when I'm reading a book like this I always feel disappointed when the book switches to one of the stories, but I didn't feel that way at all, I looked forward to reading about Moriah, and Levi and Gabe. But was also just as engrossed in Tobias and Rachel's story. In fact I thought their story was really cute! The one problem I had with t...

It's been a while since I've read a book I just couldn't seem to put down, but A Man of His word (Hearts of Middlefield, #1) by Kathleen Fuller is definitely one book I had a hard time putting down! One of the things I appreciate about Fuller's writing is how she handles the varying emotions of her characters. In a lot of amish fiction, you see the men, especially, portrayed as being somewhat stern, stoic, closed-up, but one of the things I really appreciated about the men in this story was that...

One thing I love about Kathleen Fuller's novels is that the characters are so much fun! And while my emotions were all over the place for Moriah's story, it was really her brother Tobias and his romance that I found myself rooting for the most. Tobias and the girl that stole his heart are so fun a match that I grinned the majority of the time they were on the page together. And Moriah - what a roller coaster she was taken on for this book! She is definitely a woman of more patience and peace tha...

No divorce in the Amish community, even if your husband abandons you and the faith? No problem, kill him off. These books are beginning to be like Danielle Steele books....the stories are all the same, just the names are different. I've had enough.

3.5 stars!Themes: family, community, redemption and second chances.This is the second Amish romance I've ever read, I just stumbled across it on Amazon and thought the plot sounded interesting. An Amish girl caught in a double love triangle without her knowledge and it was believable to some extent. I loved the drama, the sense of community and their resilience during emotionally difficult times and how all the characters grew and learned from their mistakes. Even the secondary characters were g...

This was a wonderful love story. This was the story set in a simple Amish town. Moriah Byler had grown up with twins Gabriel and Levi Miller.

Set in Middlefield, OH, "A Man of His Word" transports the reader to Amish life. There is also a smattering of Amish words throughout the story (with definitions) to really get a taste of the life. Life here is simple and the people are hard-working. There is some interaction with the outside world, but the beliefs of the people in this community are strong. Here is a world where your word is your bond, where leaving the church and your family means banishment (but forgiveness is also available)...

Kathleen Fuller gives you not one but two love stories in this delightful tale. Don’t miss it.

It’s not that great of a read but you also want to find out what happens. Honestly I feel that the writing was a little “not Amish” in a sentence it would say “ye” but then say a sophisticated word. Odd story line as well, there were moments when I had trouble remembering that we had just jumped to two other characters in a chapter. The flow of the story wasn’t that great, the story line didn’t make much sense, the romance just seemed forced. Overall would I read this again, No.

This book was a random find. I was walking in Walmart waiting for my car to be done when I decided to browse the books. I decided to buy it cause it sounded interesting. I wasn't disappointed! I really like this book. I hadn't heard of Kathleen Fuller and decided to give her a try. She brings the Amish community to life and shows the ups and downs that each individual struggles with in a respectful way. I love books about Amish people, but hadn't tried one in a while because the last couple that...

Moriah grew up with the twin brothers Levi and Gabe. A love and wedding with Levi, she soon found he didn’t want. He wanted freedom after his mother had died. Even with the baby he would not come back. He had already found someone he says he truly loves.With a calm strength she embraces her coming child. With Gabe along to help her. With the birth of a baby girl, realizing she doesn’t want to do it by herself. Choices and how they handled it.

Very sweet book. I really loved the character of Gabriel, the hero in the book. He was so tender, gentle and sincere. Also, Moriah was a very likable heroine. The side story with Rachel and Tobias was also really good. Enjoyable read!

I first read this book about 2 years ago. I was in a dark place in my life at the time and was captivated by the title and description of the book that I just happened to spot on a swirling book rack at a random grocery store out of town. I recently decided to read it again. One description on the back captivated me, that I don't remember from the first time. "She is unaware that her brief marriage -- once idealized as the happiest time of her life -- may have been merely a shadow of the kind of...

I was rather surprised by this book! It dealt with a lot of issues, but the one that stood out for me was that the main heroine's husband left her and the Amish because he was having an affair. I found it interesting how the Amish would react to such a thing. The characters were easy to connect to, and you grow to care about them and the community quickly. The one thing I didn't care for was that the husband's repentance seemed too convenient to the story, as if it was only used to get the hero

When I read this book for the first time, I really liked it.The romance was sweet, the characters were believable, and the writing pulled me in. I think I cried a little bit.But now, I don't really like Amish books anymore. This has nothing to do with the Amish people-it's just the storyline. The ideas are usually not very good and have no real plots. Honestly, it's the usual romance storyline that gets on my nerves. I wish that for once they would fall in love willingly instead of against their...

I really enjoyed this book! Amish romance books are some of my favorite kind of books to read. The author of such books have to research a world that is very different from the modern world most of us live in. The characters in this book were well written and deep. I felt so bad for Moira throughout most of this book. Her husband seemed to be a man torn between the simple life of the Amish community and the thrills that come with playing with the objects that are forbidden from that simple life....

As soon as I opened this book, I knew I had read it before! I looked on my book list from this year and last and cannot find it, but I KNOW I've read it. Hate it when that happens :)

Such a sweet and sensitive read full of love and virtue, no raw sex scenes to ruin the beautiful story. Though it's nothing special, it was written in a lovely way. Congrats to mrs Fuller for her achievement!
