Listening to Love is the second book in Beth Wiseman's An Amish Journey series, and it follows the story of Natalie and Lucas. Natalie is an English girl that we met in the first book, and she is a close friend of Levi and Mary. Lucas is Levi's brother, and the four of them meet every Friday night at Levi and Mary's house for dinner and fellowship. Natalie is drawn to Lucas because of his deep understanding of God and His Word, but they are starting to feel something more than friendship which worries everyone around them.
Eventually, these feelings do develop into something more, and then this story becomes one where you wonder which one is going to adapt to the other person's world and lifestyle. There are a few times when their feelings almost run ahead of themselves because they long to be together, long to get married, but everything moves more quickly than they are prepared for.
There were times during this period in their relationship that I almost stopped reading! The pace was just so rushed! I know it was done purposefully so that Natalie and Lucas could both realize that they needed to stop and take a breath, butâ¦.mercy, it's a little bit of a roller coaster!
This story was not just about Natalie and Lucas. Natalie's mother also needed some TLC after a horrible divorce left her bitter and spiteful. A new job (which she desperately needed) gave her life some direction, but something about her new employer doesn't sit right. She was in for a surprise that she didn't expect, and this made for an excellent twist to this otherwise ordinary Amish story.
I truly love Beth Wiseman's books! Every single one is different from the one before it, even if they are all set in the Amish culture. This one had an ending I didn't expect, and made me anxious to read the last book in the series â A Beautiful Arrangement. It's already sitting on my TBR stack, waiting for its turn.
