Summary
A Plain and Simple Heart , an exciting new Amish-meets-Wild West adventure from bestselling authors Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, weaves an entertaining and romantic tale for devoted fans and new readers.
1884--Several years earlier, young Rebecca Switzer lost her heart to Jesse Montgomery, a rugged but dissolute cowboy on a dusty cattle trail near the Amish settlement of Apple Grove. Now she is grown up, and when she hears one day that he has been spotted nearby, her desire is plain and simple: She must see him.
Sheriff Colin Maddox is counting the days until he can leave law enforcement and follow his dream of starting a church. When a lovely woman, new to town and looking travel weary and a bit lost, gets caught up in the middle of a temperance riot, she is arrested along with the leaders. He can hardly believe she is what she claims--a Plain and simple woman. Nor can he believe how quickly he loses his heart to her. Can Colin convince her to forget Jesse and give him a chance?

Library Journal Review
As a young girl from the Amish community in Apple Grove, Rebecca Switzer fell in love with a cowboy. Four years later. the now-adult Rebecca decides to find the man to whom she lost her heart. She travels to Lawrence, KS, where she gets caught up in a temperance riot. Sheriff Colin Maddox, who wants nothing more than to leave law enforcement and start a church, can't believe that the woman he has just arrested is really Amish. VERDICT This wonderful, character-driven historical novel is full of romance, suspense, and humor. Though it's the second book in the series (The Heart's Frontier), it stands just fine on its own. Cindy Woodsmall fans will enjoy. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
