This is a wonderful book! The characters are genuine and realistic! The story is original, and Amy Lillard does a great job tying everything together! My favorite character is Uriah! He's a person that you can count on, sympathetic and genuine! A definite must read! I also enjoyed the recipes at the end!! (

One More Time for Joy by Amy Lillard is a sweet story. One More Time for Joy is the third book in the Paradise Valley series. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. I have enjoyed each book in this charming series. We get to catch up with the characters from the first two stories. I like the characters in this story. They are kind, hardworking individuals. Joy is doing her best to raise her children on her own since the death of her husband. Joy’s oldest son, Johnny was injured in an accident. He is confined to a wheelchair. Unfortunately, Joy’s house is not setup for someone in a wheelchair. Joy’s brother-in-law, Uriah wishes to help. It will make life easier for Johnny and Joy. Uriah just needs to convince Joy. The story centers on family and faith. Joy and Uriah are both hardworking individuals who love their kids. Uriah is a widower with four daughters. There is some repetition of key details especially Joy’s hope that her son will walk again. I like that the author addresses the challenges handicapped individuals face in a home. Uriah is a kind and patient individual. He is going to need that patience when dealing with Joy. The romance is sweet, and it progressed at the right pace. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout the story. Joy learns the importance of trusting God and following His path. One More Time for Joy is an uplifting tale with constricted doorways, delectable bread, an obliging brother-in-law, troubled daughters, an optimistic mother, and a giving God. (

Joy Lehman has known the joy of finding someone that you want to spend your entire life with, but she's also experienced the pain and grief of losing that person to death. She's managed to endure, she has a successful bakery, and she's providing for her children. There are, however, many challenges associated with keeping a household and caring for a disabled son. Would she be willing to accept help from her widowed brother-in-law? Could she give up being an independent woman?

Author Amy Lillard poignantly captures the conflicting emotions of both Joy and Uriah as they enter this new phase in their lives. They could have happiness together if she'd only bend a little! Why, even their children think it's a good idea and there are lots of fun moments as they work to get their parents together.

This is a heartwarming story of mature love, second chances, and the joy that comes from allowing God's Plan to work in our lives. One More Time for Joy is delightful Amish fiction!

I received an advanced reader copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. (

I loved this story of family, romance and second chances. I love reading Amish fiction and this is a wonderful. example of a great one. I love Joy and Uriah and all of their children. I enjoyed reading about the different ways to decorate cookies and I could smell them baking while reading this story. I loved seeing how these two families came back from disasters in different ways. I received a copy of this book from the publisher for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. (

One More Time for Joy is an engaging Amish romance novel by Amy Lillard. I enjoyed watching Joy, a young widow with a disabled son, and her widower, brother-in-law, Uriah's journey to second chance love. Joy's reluctance to keep her independence and not remarry brings considerable romantic tension to the story. Even though the book is a part of the Paradise Valley series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone story. It is interesting to see characters from the first two books but the author does a good job filling in back stories so the reader is not left with a lot of questions or confusion. The reaction of Joy's and Uriah's children regarding their parent's relationship is great!! The community of friends and the Widow's Club, humor, and a thread of faith all kept my interest high. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own. (
