Publisher's Weekly Review
Goody-two-shoes Judith Graber has always helped out in her parents' store, gotten good grades in school, and pitched in at home, but has never felt like anyone was looking out for her. When hometown bad boy Benjamin Knox comes back and starts working at the store, he treats Judith with the caring and consideration she craves. An Amish community backdrop adds homespun sweetness, with a focus on simplicity and family that's never heavy-handed. Fans of Gray's Seasons of Sugarcreek novels will especially appreciate the cameos by familiar characters, but new readers will have no trouble starting the series here. (Nov.)

Library Journal Review
Love is in the air in Gray's fourth series entry (after Autumn's Promise). Dutiful shopkeeper's daughter Judith Graber didn't think that bad boy Ben Knox even knew who she was. Working together in her father's Amish store during the holiday rush, they learn that they've each admired special qualities in the other since they were schoolmates. Judith's big family and other Sugarcreek residents are lovingly portrayed in this feel-good winner. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
