"Pregnant and desperate, Victoria Worthington runs to the only place that's ever felt safe. For years she's been controlled, first by her crime-boss father, then by her ex-boyfriend. Donning a hand-sewn dress, a kapp and a new name, she escapes as Abby Martin to the Amish community of Harts Haven, where she spent happy summers with her grandparents. Taking a job as a maid at the local inn, Abby plans to repair her grandparents' abandoned house and build a new life for her baby. Since a tragedy took his family, contractor Joseph Troyer has traveled from one Amish town to another, refusing to let anyone get close. Not that it stops the inn's elderly, eccentric owner, Rose, from doing some matchmaking while Joe renovates her kitchen. Though Abby is more outspoken than any Amish woman he knows, something draws him to her--and to the secrets she's hiding. Taken under Rose's wing, Abby begins to find her place at last.

The Inn at Harts Haven by Patricia Davids is a special Amish novel. I was instantly drawn into the debut of The Matchmakers of Harts Haven. It is a well-written novel with steady pacing and developed characters. I enjoyed getting to know Victoria, Joseph, Rose, Susanna, Grace, and the others. I just loved Rose Yoder. She is a delightful character. Rose is a kindhearted woman who added humor to the story. It was great to visit Harts Haven and get to know the warmhearted people who live there. The suspense added depth and intrigue to the story. It had me quickly turning the pages so I could find out how the story would turn out. I would have liked a more complete wrap-up regarding the father. I laughed often while reading this story thanks to Rose. The Inn at Harts Haven is an enjoyable tale (I was sorry for it to end). This is my favorite book by Patricia Davids. The author combined suspense, romance, and faith with relatable, kind characters into a charming creation. I am eager for the next book in this series. The Inn at Harts Haven is an appealing Amish tale with an outspoken outsider, a kind carpenter, a meddling matchmaker, a dangerous dad, a scruffy farmhouse, and a caring community.
