Even though Rose and Noah are considered to be of marrying age, they act so immaturely they might as well be in junior high. Many of my earlier concerns are continued here. Rose’s father and brothers aren’t too keen on her new life, either, and they can’t wait for her to fail - even if it means giving her a little push to get her started… And she’s not used to all the rules she now must follow. Rose gives up her modern life, moving in with an Amish family and studying to become a member of the church.īut things aren’t that simple. In “Belonging” the duo takes the next steps to making their relationship a reality. The two don’t ever want to be separated, even though their two upbringings don’t exactly mesh. And once again, I’m left feeling much the same as I did the first time around.Īt the center of the series are Noah and Rose. Now Karen’s back with the second book in this series. If you’ve read my review of Karen Ann Hopkins’ “ Temptation,” then you already know I liked but didn’t love her tale of an Amish boy and an English girl falling in love. “ BELONGING ,” by Karen Ann Hopkins, Harlequin Teen, April 30, 2013, softcover, $9.99 (young adult)
