What starts out to be a simple act of a woman trying to stop an out of control buggy turns out to be so much more complicated than Sarah could ever imagine. Little does she know that her life is about to be turned upside down and all around and that everything she thought she knew isn't so. Love Impossible is a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

This is one of the most unusual stories I have read this year. It is certainly the most unusual story I have ever read in the Amish fiction genre. I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the synopsis of the story. I sure wasn't imagining what happened, that's for sure!

This story had lifelike characters. Sarah has a big decision to make and I could understand how she felt conflicted. Mark seemed to be a bit of a jerk at times but then again I could understand his frustration and found myself wondering how I would deal with the situation if I were in his shoes.

A couple of things kept me from giving this book a higher rating and one of those is the fact that there wasn't enough struggle (in my opinion) when Sarah was trying to make her choice. Yes, she didn't know what to do and seemed to struggle in making her decision but I would have like to have had a bit more time spent on the details of her struggle and what she was thinking in making her choice. The other thing was once she made her decision there wasn't any awkwardness between her and Jathan. Things were just too perfect and easy and it didn't seem to be real to me. I believe there would have been more awkward moments and uneasiness between the two.

All in all, this was an interesting story and one that captured my attention. Those looking for a different kind of story will probably enjoy this one. It isn't your typical Amish story.

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion which I have given.

This is not your usual Amish fiction, but it is a story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was pulled into Sarah's story and the dilemma she was forced to face from the first pages and I couldn't put it down until I knew the outcome. I certainly felt the emotions of Sarah and the other characters as they dealt with the decisions that had to be made because of secrets that be kept in the past. It is also a wonderful story that God does work all things out for the best of His children, even when it seems there is no way. This is another wonderful read from this author that I definitely recommend.

Love Impossible (AMISH DREAMS) by J.E. B. Spredemann
This is the story of Sarah and Jathan and first let me just say wow,wow,wow, I loved the storyline, the characters and pretty much everything about this book.
What would you do if your life is suddenly turned topsy-turvy and the one person you turn to God, it seems your prayers are not even getting answered. We have all found ourselves in situations that we question our life and it’s path but we know that through family, friends and God we get through, in this wonderful book you will see it’s sometimes only though deep faith we can carry on, because everything else it ripped away. I know this is a book I will look forward to re visiting many times in the future. Highly recommend!

Love Impossible was exactly that. Sarah's life suddenly has a major turn-around and she finds herself in a completely unexpected situation causing her to have to turn to God to find the answer to her extremely difficult dilemma.

Each decision impacts those she loves. As a result she finds God and finds a way to continue her life.

I enjoyed this book and really wondered what was she going to do with this very difficult situation. I read it in one sitting. Really liked how it kept me on the edge on my seat.

You'll love it!
I received a copy from the author. All thoughts are mine

I loved reading the story of Sarah and Jathan. Definitely not your usual Amish story but that’s what made it so I didn’t want to put it down.

[Cathy Cermele · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very unique story and kudos to J.E.B Spredemann for writing it.
I had such empathy for Sarah. Nothing in her life is what she believed it to be and she’s faced with making some very difficult and life changing decisions.

I won’t give too much away, because I want readers to find out just how conflicted Sarah is after she discovers the deceit she’s lived with for so many years. I will say, that I expected her to feel much more conflicted when faced with making decisions for herself and her families. Her strong faith was what made her choose the path that was right for her.

Jathan and Mark are two very important and different characters that added different elements to the story. At times, I found Mark to be rather frustrating, but given the unusual situation he faced, it was understandable.
This is truly a different Amish story and one that I recommend to all ages.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and have provided my honest opinion.

Love Impossible : Amish Dreams
By: J.E.B. Spredemann

Wow, What a story. I don’t think that I have ever read an Amish story like Love Impossible. Spredemann had me hooked right from the start and did not let go till the end. It seem like I could not read fast enough to see what was going to happen next. The Characters were so real that I felt like I was right there with them. I felt so sorry for Sarah and her families . A run away buggy almost hit a child and that made Sarah mad and she took off after the buggy. This run away buggy changed Sarah life. Ten years ago Sarah was in an accident and lost her memory . Who is Sarah ? Does she have a family?
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.

I enjoyed reading Love Impossible by J.E.B. Spredemann. Sarah is shocked to see a buggy almost run a little boy over right in front of her eyes! She immediately hops in her car, determined to talk to the reckless driver of the buggy. Sarah cannot even begin to believe what starts to unfold right before her eyes…
You’ll want to check out this book yourself to find out the rest of Sarah’s story, her past, present and future. This fast-paced book by J.E.B. Spredemann is a great read! This surprising novel is a different kind of Amish fiction, but one you will enjoy reading!

[Robin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story. Strong characters and an amazing lesson. Sarah stands strong by the word of God but can't find a solution. Mark has some very human moments of selfishness but he, too, stands on God's word. But where does this leave them???? You must read this story for yourself and find out how this works out. Highly recommend to all ages. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Loved the story from page 1. What a terrible thing to have to go through. To not remember anything after being car accident and parents who lied to you about your past . Now 10 years later and she is involved in another accident. Now her pass life is coming unfolded piece by piece. What can she do? This story is good I never put the book down because i needed to know what was happening next and J.E.B kept it exciting to keep you in. Another great novel by J.E.B. Spredemann.

A quick read and an enjoyable one. A young woman suffering from amnesia discovers she has two families. How will she resolve the conflict? To whom does she belong and what turmoil will come between her, her children and her husbands? And what of her faith; how can God redeem these circumstances? You just have to put everything aside; forget the chores & read this bittersweet story. Thanks again to J.E.B. Spredemann for another good book that is edifying to the Lord. Loved it.

Heartwarming

The characters in this book were realistic and interesting. An impossible situation turned to happiness with God's help. I also enjoyed this is a stand alone book. All the story without having to wait to buy another book.

[Pamela Pavkov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love Impossible is a novel written by J.E.B. Spredemann in her Amish Dreams series. This is such an amazing story of love, faith, and forgiveness beyond belief. As I read this wonderful story I kept thinking how is this all going to work out? Once this situation was given to God there was a solution. This story definitely shows what can happen with the power of forgiveness.

I enjoyed all the characters in this story each for a different reason. They were all likeable and realistic.Each character definitely had their role in this story to bring it to life. I had so much sympathy for Jathan for all that he carried on his shoulders but as you read this story you will only see how it made him stronger. You will also learn you should always be honest because the truth will come out in the end. The author has written an amazing story that really made me consider how harsh life can be.

I was not given a complimentary copy of this amazing book to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable review. All opinions and statements expressed are strictly my own. I have rated this book with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others. I think this book is great for those who enjoy the Amish genre but I am also recommending to everyone.

Congratulations to J.E.B. Spredemann for once again writing another outstanding story for her readers to enjoy. I am already searching for more books by this author.
