Seek Me With All Your Heart, by Beth Wiseman

Seek My With All Your Heart, by Beth Wiseman, was my first foray into the world of Amish Christian fiction. I've been resisting the trend for years now, but when I saw that this book is based in my home state of Colorado, I jumped at the opportunity to review it.

Unfortunately, I learned that, while this book was intriguing, Amish Christian fiction just isn't my favorite genre. I have no problem with the storyline itself, but it wasn't captivating enough to hold my attention for more than a few minutes at a time. The story revolves around Emily and David, who both have broken pasts that they are trying to but behind them. Emily is terrified of David when they first meet, but they soon form a tenuous friendship. Then, the attraction grows.

This book wasn't bad by any standard - it just wasn't for me. The relationship between Emily and David is nice, and I expect that fans of this genre will love this story. Also, I understand that there is a series of books on David's family/their backstory, and so it may also have been less than enthralling for me because I have not read those books. If you are a fan of Amish Christian fiction, I think you will really like this book. However, if you are looking for a first book to read in that genre, I would not suggest Seek Me With All Your Heart.
