This is a sequel to 'The Hawaiian Quilt', but I think you could read it as a stand alone book. This story deals with Ellen Lambright, who spent some time in Hawaii with Mandy in book one, and in this story she will find herself returning to Hawaii to help out her friend Mandy when her husband is attacked by a shark while surfing. While there this Amish woman will start to be attracted to Rob, who will be hired to help out at their organic chicken farm on the island. It becomes difficult since she is Amish and he is not. But when Rob reveals who he truly is, it will be hard for Ellen to truly trust her heart to this young man. Enjoyed how the author brought these two together. ( )

I received this book in one of my #freshfictionbox. All opinions are my own. ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ The Hawaiian Discovery by Wanda Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter. Ellen Lambright helps run the local B & B cooking the meals, cleaning, etc.near her Amish home in Middlebury, Indiana, but when a friend of the family has a death in his family Ellen is forced to rethink life. After a series of events and a lot of thought Ellen decides to travel to Hawaii to help her friends Mandy and Ken after Ken has a terrible accident right after his father died. This is where Ellen meets Rob and is fighting her feelings for him until she finds out Rob has a secret, a huge secret. Now Ellen must return to her family in Middlebury and she is ready to put this man and his secret behind her, but her heart won't have it. It isn't until the prayers she asked for become answered and her mystery man fixes a huge mess he's made.

Ellen Lambright faces life's hardest challenges and needs help when she moves to Hawaii .....keeping her commitment to the Amish faith is one of her biggest challenges.

Ever wonder what it like to run a bed and breakfast? Well we learn about it a bit though the book of The Hawaiian Discovery. This is only at the beginning. This is where we start out at. Mandy and her husband Ken are the owners of the B and B. Their friend Ellen works there. Kenโ€™s mother calls and we get where they fly back to Hawaii.

We are left Ellen managing the B and B. There are some tragedy and a few surprises along the way. We meet with Ron and Tavi. We start to learn about Ron. This take place mainly in Hawaii and I do not want to give away the ending.

Ellen get to fly to Hawaii for Emergency and spend time there. What happens and what develops while there is really sweet and surprises all. What find out and discovery will be the reason of the title.

Wanda does a wonderful job writing this book with her daughter in law Jean. What a story this and will Ellen get her wish? Ellen seem to be wanting what all Amish want but will she find it in Hawaii or will she not? You fall in love with the characters as you read the book. This book focus on Mandy and Ken and Ellen mostly.

Is Ron who he says he is or is he someone completely different? What could Ron be hiding, if that even his name. All these mysteries. What happens to Ken? ( )

Wanda E Brunstetter just keeps giving me great books to read. This is the second book she has done in Hawaii and I love her descriptions of Hawaii and how she works in why an Amish girl would be there. I love Ellenโ€™s character and was glad for her decisions she made. I look forward to many more books by Wanda. I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )
