Kelly’s Amish Books – Reviews

Kelly’s Amish books have received many stellar reviews from publications such as Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times, and The Library Journal. Here’s a sampling:

Released June 2016

The Saddle Maker’s Son

RTBkReviewsLogo2“A warm-hearted novel that is more than a romance, with lovable characters, including two innocent children caught in the red tape of government and two people willing to risk breaking both the Englisch and Amish law to help in whatever way they can. There are subplots that focus on the struggles of undocumented immigrants.”

amazon-review
“Kelly Irvin’s Amish tales can’t be categorized as romance, contemporary, mystery, or Christian; BUT “The Amish of Bee County” series involves all of that and more. Readers do not need to be Amish, or Amish genre story lovers, to relate to a second chance plot of a man who has lost his first marriage partner via death. Those of us who have been in that grief-loneliness-renewal road will relive the heart warmed fullness of walking the path holding a new mate’s hand. Bee County is a Texas-authentic location, Beeville the county seat. Readers will come to believe they are reading nonfiction…”

RTBkReviewsLogo2“Irvin imparts important lessons about putting your faith in God, and she has a subtle way of teaching them without being preachy. In the process Irvin never neglects the story, which combines a good mystery with strong interpersonal relationships. ” Read More Reviews

No Child of Mine

RTBkReviewsLogo2“A fast-paced novel with an underlying message of faith in God. The characters are believable and honest about their flawed and complex natures. The romance and suspense will hold readers’ attention, but the intricate relationships between family, friends and co-workers are the real draw. This sequel to A Deadly Wilderness can be read as a stand-alone.” Read More Reviews
