Titus Returns
Amy Lillard

About the Book:

In Wells Landing, Oklahoma’s warm and welcoming Amish community, there’s always hope for a new beginning—and a second chance…

Five tumultuous years have changed Titus Lambert in every way. Back then, Titus was preparing to marry his longtime sweetheart, Mandy Yoder. Then came the unthinkable—a tragic car wreck that left Titus serving time for vehicular manslaughter.

Titus isn’t sure he belongs in this peaceful place anymore, but he must make amends. When he goes to visit the Kings, whose son, Alvin, died that terrible night, he’s shocked to see that their farm has fallen into disrepair. Alvin’s sister, Abbie, resents Titus’s reappearance, but there’s no denying she needs his help. Honest toil—and their evolving friendship—slowly help his soul to heal. But with his feelings for Mandy still strong, Titus must choose between two very different futures, and find the strength and faith to claim the surprising gift of a fresh start.

About the Author:

I’m a wife, mother, and bona fide Southern belle. Published author, expert corn bread maker, and Squirrel Princess.

I live in Tulsa, though I was born in Mississippi. I moved to the Sooner State when I was seventeen and met my soul mate and best friend not long after. I’ve retained a little of my Mississippi accent though most people think I’m from Texas. (?) Rob and I have been married for over twenty years and have a son-a mom proclaimed prodigy, of course!

I love homemade tacos, nail polish, and romance novels-not necessarily in that order. I’m a big fan of country music, a staunch proponent of saving the Oxford comma, and I’m shamefully obsessed with all things Harry Potter.

I believe that God is love. I guess that’s why I love to write inspirational romances. The two go hand-in-hand for me.

I have always been intrigued with the Amish culture, their gentle ways and slower-paced lifestyle. (And I love, love, love the fact that they stay married for their lifetime.) But until recently I never thought to blend this interest with my penchant for romance. Okay, okay, I’m a bit old-fashioned and even enjoy the gender roles that are present in this culture. I love to cook and take care of my family. Yes, that’s me June Cleaver with a laptop.

I dislike people trying to convince me to read the Twlight series (I’ll get to it or I won’t, either way I’m good with it), gratuitous violence, and strawberry ice cream. (I know I’m alone on this last one, and again, I’m good with it.)

Favorite movies-(besides HP) French Kiss, Maid of Honor, A Lot Like Love, Just Married, and Sweet Home Alabama. Oh, and Miss Congeniality, Sabrina (both versions) and a 1940′s movie called Dear Ruth. If you haven’t seen it, you should! A-dorable. Anything with Doris Day and most all of Marilyn’s and Audrey’s.

My Review:

Titus Returns is book five in the A Wells Landing Romance series written by author Amy Lillard. Set in Wells Landing, Oklahoma, an Amish community. Titus Returns is the story of Titus Lambert returning to Wells Landing after serving time for vehicular manslaughter. It’s been 5 years since Titus has been in Wells Landing, he has changed in every way imaginable. When returning, he stops by the farm of Kings, whose son was killed the car accident, and is disheartened to see that it is falling apart. Titus wants to help them out, even though Abbie resents him but she needs his help. Helping Abbie and their evolving friendship is what Titus needs to heal his soul from all the turmoil he has faced. Things begin to change for Titus and he has a lot of decisions to make all he wants is a fresh start.

Titus Returns was a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading, I highly recommend starting with Book One but can tell you it can be read as a stand-alone. If you love Amish Fiction then you will really love Amy’s books. She does her research and her writing style is one that I love. Titus Returns is the story of faith, love, forgiveness, friendship, and kindness that we so desperately need today.

I received a copy of this book for free however a favorable review was not required of me. All opinions expressed here are my own.
