About this audiobook
Lively, determined, and independent, Poppy Christner isn't about to let some vandal keep making mischief on her family's farm. She's been outrunning boys and standing up for picked-on children ever since she was a girl-no matter how much her prideful, arrogant schoolmate Luke Bontranger insulted her. So Poppy certainly doesn't need his interference now, especially since he's made it plain he prefers demure, ladylike companions. In fact, if Luke doesn't stop helping her find the culprit-and growing humble and remorseful-she'll be forced to notice how handsome his change-of-heart is making him. And that could mean falling in love-maybe for a lifetime.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Again this is a wonderfully written book, full of surprises & loving hearts.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5For an Amish girl, Poppy is a regular tomboy. Fiercely protective of her sisters, she has gotten into many a scrape with boys. And growing up hasn’t hasn’t diminished her attitude, especially towards bullies. Now she must deal with an English bully, with the sometimes unwanted help of Luke, a neighbor who increasingly finds himself drawn to her, like a bee to honey. Their friendship is prickly at best, and it seems like one or the other is always getting hurt. Maybe love will blossom, before they accidentally kill each other. In this second installment, the vandalism that began in the first book continues, and they are no closer in finding the culprit. Aunt Bitsy again is a source of wisdom and humor. The plot is intriguing, and the characters are quite entertaining and come alive on the page. This author really knows how to tell an engaging story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the second book in the Honeybee Sister’s trilogy and the theme is very similar to the first book. The main character Poppy seems to be disliked by certain people of their community, the ‘romance’ is fraught with pitfalls that are brought on by both Poppy and Luke.The Amish part of this book is so dissimilar to other Amish books that I have read that it makes me really wonder if it should be classified as such. Christian…hmmm, I suppose as there is a lot of bible quoting and we do have a little bit of turning the other cheek, that we can call this Christian –however Poppy’s attitude really isn’t that of your typical Amish young woman. Sometimes that really works well as a storyline but this time –not so much.The despair that Poppy goes through got on my nerves after a while. Had this been a shorter novel it would have worked for me splendidly, but in a novel this length it just go repetitious and annoying. With Poppy constantly fighting and getting sometimes seriously hurt chapter after chapter, I just wanted to roll my eyes and say the heck with it and not finish the book. But I managed to finish and I will say that I will read the next one when it comes out.Aunt Bitsy is still an enigma and one that I am enjoying. I really hope that there will be a book about her and her past life and how she came back to the fold. I know that she did it for her nieces’ sake, but I’ll bet there was a lot of kicking and screaming along the way.I hope that the third book finally explains who and why there is so much vandalism at their farm too.
