Courting Cate - Book Review

When This Couple Gets to Courting, Sparks Will Fly!

In Paradise, Pennsylvania, Cate Miller is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Her sweet and flirty sister, Betsy, on the other hand, seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County!

But the sisters’ wealthy father has made one hard-and-fast rule: older Cate must marry first, before younger Betsy can even start courting. Unfortunately, untamable Cate has driven away every suitor-until Pete Treger comes to town, that is.

Prodded by the men of the area, Pete turns his attention to winning Cate’s hand. But is his interest true or is there a scheme at play?

MY REVIEW:

I really enjoyed reading Courting Cate. The Amish deal with many of the same things in life that non-Amish deal with. I like how the author, Leslie Gould, includes several of these in Courting Cate. It makes this book more realistic, and really draws you into the story.

Cate and her sister couldn’t be more different. Their fathers ultimatum drives a wedge between the sisters. Because Cate has been a mother to her sister since she was a baby and loves her very much, she does everything she possible can to make a way for her sister to marry. Including entering a loveless marriage.
