Courting Cate

The Courtships of Lancaster County, Book 1

By: Leslie Gould

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen

Number-one best-selling author Leslie Gould delivers a new Amish romance series. When Amish farmer Pete Treger moves to Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, seeking a better life, he meets sisters Cate and Betsy Miller. Both are beautiful, but older sister Cate is known more for her sharp tongue and fiery temper than her striking appearance. Betsy, on the other hand, is sweet and flirty - and seems to have attracted most of the bachelors in Lancaster County! However, the sisters' wealthy father has made one hard and fast rule: Elder sister must marry first, before the younger can even start courting. Unfortunately for poor Betsy, and for the men who want to court her, her older sister, Cate, doesn't have any suitors - until Pete comes to town, that is. Though he finds both sisters attractive, something about Cate's feisty demeanor appeals to him. Soon the other bachelors in the district convince Pete to court Cate. She hardly seems receptive to his overtures, though. Instead, she's immediately suspicious of his interest.

Great book

I loved this book ! It was full of surprises, friendship and the hope of love ! Looking forward to the best one !

Her harshness hit me personally. Praying I can change like she did. I could relate to her so well.

This book kept me guessing. I love reading Amish books. This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Steadfast

This book showed constant miscommunication, selfishness, unselfishness and how God can make beauty out of our choices when welcomed.

A pure delight!

I don’t know when I’ve last listened to a book I’ve enjoyed so much! This was well written and the narrator did a fantastic job with this very compelling story. Many thanks to the author for sharing her gift!
