Courting Cate (The Courtships of Lancaster County, #1)
by
by
Leslie Gould in her new book, “Courting Cate” Book One in The Courtships of Lancaster County series published by Bethany House takes us into the life of Cate Miller.
From the back cover: When This Couple Gets to Courting, Sparks Will Fly!
In Paradise, Pennsylvania, Cate Miller is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Her sweet and flirty sister, Betsy, on the other hand, seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!
But the sisters’ wealthy father has made one hard-and-fast rule: older Cate must marry first, before younger Betsy can even start courting. Unfortunately, untamable Cate has driven away every suitor–until Pete Treger comes to town, that is.
Prodded by the men of the area, Pete turns his attention to winning Cate’s hand. But is his interest true or is there a scheme at play?
William Shakespeare writes Amish fiction. Well, no, wait, that is not quite 100% accurate. In actuality Leslie Gould is writing the Amish fiction based on a play by Shakespeare. Either way, somehow, this story works. It just goes to show just how good a story writer Ms. Gould really is. Leslie Gould has an attention to details that help draw you into the story as well, of course, as her marvelous characters. Pete and Cate have a firecracker relationship that is presented in such a real manner that you feel as though they are friends of yours and when the book eventually ends you are sorry to see them go. “Courting Cate” deals with themes of healing of past hurts and restoration as only God can produce. I liked this book a lot.
