Amish love stories usually start with a couple in a courting buggy and wind up with a bride and groom sitting in the "eck" with a bunch of celery for a centerpiece. Not this one. Amanda falls in love with Viper, an international hip-hop star she met by accident when his limo ran her down. This third book in the series is about their new marriage, and the tests that fame puts on the marriage vows. Paparazzi hound Amanda's Amish village, camping out at Amanda's family farm. Amanda becomes a celebrity, too, and this takes a toll on the Amish community. This book is a powerful story, and provides a glimpse into the world of the glitterati, the mega-rich, mega-famous Hollywood kind of life where reality is stretched, image is all, and there is a dollar sign on every single bottom line. It also shows the conflict between society and the Amish community. It depicts what happens in a family when a member decides to "go English," and to not join the church. The bounds of love sometimes get strained in this story, but the beauty of it is what occurs because of that. Far from being a Cinderella story where an Amish girl goes from rags to riches with her handsome prince, this is a story where the shine on the princess' tiara might well be a tad tarnished with a dose of reality. I liked this book because of that. The story is well told and moves nicely through its stages as does just about everything Sara Price writes. There is enough clean steaminess in the book to cause deep sighs of delight among those readers who love romance. A surprise in this book is that the Amish are not portrayed as perfect purveyors of forgiveness and kindliness. Nobody's perfect, after all.Sometimes, seeing your own group from the outside is a true eye-opener.
