A Men of Lancaster County novel.

Eddie Graber’s dream of a sanctuary for rescued farm animals was about to come true when his partner backed out at the last minute. Now Eddie risks losing the 25-acre property in Lancaster County - and all the hopes he held for it - before the project even gets off the ground. He needs help, he needs money, but most importantly, he needs to rediscover the belief in a higher purpose that brought him here in the first place.

Samuel Miller worked hard to fit into his Amish community despite his clubfoot. But when his father learns Samuel is gay, he is whipped and shunned. With just a few hundred dollars to his name, Samuel responds to an ad for a farmhand and finds himself employed by a city guy who has strange ideas about animals, no clue how to run his small farm, and a gentle heart.

Samuel isn’t the only lost soul to serendipitously find his way to Meadow Lake Farm. There’s Fred and Ginger, two cows who’d been living in a garage, a gang of sheep, and a little black pig named Benny who might be the key to life, love, money - and even a happily ever after for two castoffs.

Story
Eddy has finally invested in his dream to have the rug pulled out from under him. His lover and a business partner have left him just as he was to move to the new rescue farm he invested his life savings into.

Samuel is an Amish man that finds himself thrown out of his father's house, shunned, homeless, hurting, with no skills other than farming and a club foot that limits him.

Tender Mercies start out on an aching note where you're heart goes out for Samuel. He answers an ad for farm help that only offers food and housing plus fifty dollars a week.
I loved Samuel. I liked Eddie but didn't connect quite as well as I did with Samuel.
There is a lot of twists going on and you can't help but love all the animals especially Benny the pig.


You will shed tears of both sadness and joy. This is a lovely romance, a beautiful setting, and the sex is mostly off-page but still perfect for this story.


If you like sweet romance, Amish, rescue farms, ghostwriters, physically challenged men, May/December, cute animals, pigs and a sweet story with lots of emotion you will love this.

I liked Will Tulin's Narration. He gives Samuel an accent that you can tell he is Amish and separate voices for the rest of the cast.


Sweet and steamy romances with lots of humor. Having been, at various times and under different names, a minister’s daughter, a computer programmer, a game designer, the author of paranormal mysteries, a fan fiction writer, an organic farmer and a profound sleeper, Eli is happily embarking on yet another incarnation as a m/m romance author. As an avid reader of such, she is tinkled pink when an author manages to combine literary merit, vast stores of humor, melting hotness and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, three bulldogs, three cows and six chickens. All of them (except for the husband) are female, hence explaining the naked men that have taken up residence in her latest fiction writing.
