Building a future

Amy Clipston

eBook - 2022

Michelle Lantz has been dating Korey Bontrager for more than a year. She's certain Korey is going to propose to her soon though she's concerned that Korey seems more and more distracted when she talks about their future. When she arrives at his house for a date and discovers that Korey has forgotten their plans, she's devastated. Tyler Bontrager is the oldest of the Bontrager sons and it's his job to make sure the family roofing company stays afloat now that his father has recently remarried. When his younger brother's girlfriend arrives unexpectedly at the Bontrager front door, Tyler invites her to stay and wait for Korey. To both of their surprise, Michelle and Tyler find themselves falling easily into conversati...on and end up spending the evening laughing and talking. Tyler is startled to realize he has feelings for Michelle, although he tries to ignore them in order to save his relationship with his brother. Michelle is equally taken aback by her attraction and interest in Tyler and can't deny that maybe she's dating the wrong brother. Will they maintain the status quo and bury their feelings, or will they choose to follow their hearts and build a future together?

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

A young Amish man falls for his brother's girlfriend in the lackluster second entry in Clipston's Amish Legacy series (after Foundation of Love). Michelle Lantz has been dating Korey Bontrager for just over a year and is eager to marry and start a family with him, but Korey says he's not ready. Meanwhile, Korey's older brother Tyler has no time for dating as he works to expand his father's roofing business, but he finds Michelle easy to talk to and dislikes Korey's flippant treatment of her. Tyler runs into Michelle in town and the two get lunch together, but after Korey finds out, he accuses Tyler of trying to steal his girlfriend, and take over the family business to boot. Tyler denies the charges but later realizes he does have feelings for Michelle and decides to quit talking to her to stay on good terms with Korey. Michelle tires of waiting for Korey to propose, so she breaks up with him. Soon after, she gets into a serious buggy accident, leading her and Tyler to reevaluate their relationship. Korey's frequent whining about perceived slights from Michelle or Tyler will test readers' patience, and a surfeit of conversations in which Tyler or Michelle go over the same details of their internal conflicts with different characters stalls out the plot. This doesn't quite get off the ground. (Aug.)
