Your heart misleads you.
That's what my friends and family say.
But I love Noah.
And he loves me.
We met and fell in love in the sleepy farming community of Meadowview, while we rode our horses together through the grassy fields and in those moments in each other's arms.
It should be
ROSE & NOAH
forever, easy.
But it won't be.
Because he's Amish.
And I'm not.

Review:
Temptation is the first book in the
Temptation series by Karen Ann Hopkins. There's nothing I like more
than a forbidden romance, and the relationship between Rose and Noah
is definitely forbidden. He is Amish, and Rose is an “English
girl”. After Rose's mother dies, her dad moves her and her brothers
to Meadowview. Their new neighbors are an Amish family, and Rose
falls for Noah – one of the sons.
These two fall very quickly for each
other. Their secret romance isn't easy considering Amish people
aren't supposed to spend time with non-Amish people. Heck, the boys
aren't suppose to look at or speak to a girl unless they are
courting. I really enjoyed reading about the Amish ways. Their rules
were frustrating to me, but it was still really interesting. The way
they live is so different from the way most of us are used to. I
thought that some of the book felt slow moving – yet that somehow
felt right with it being an Amish novel.
Rose was a great character. She is the
feisty type. Noah is fascinated by her because she is so different
from the Amish girls. I really liked Noah's character too. There were
times when I thought he was too controlling, but that is just the way
he was raised. I'm actually surprised that Rose put up with some of
it.
It was only a matter of time before
they were caught. It's something you know is going to happen, you
just don't know when. It's heartbreaking when their love is torn
apart like that. Rose, being only 16, considers a choice that will
make a huge impact on her life.
I'm glad this is a series. I can't wait
to see how things will play out. I'm also interested in reading more
about some of the background characters. If you love sweet young
adult romances, then I definitely recommend this book.
