Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
She must survive to testify... With a price on his witness's head, US Marshal Jonathan Mast can think of only one place to hide Celeste Alexander--in the Amish community he left behind. As a computer expert, leading a life off the grid isn't easy for Celeste. But will staying in Jonathan's childhood home save her...and convince them a future together is worth fighting for?


My Review:
Amish Hideout is a Christian romantic suspense novel. Celeste is excellent with computers and at finding patterns and connections. She has uncovered the man who electronically stole money from thousands. She's now in witness protection until she testifies at his trial. Even though she has given all this information to the FBI, for some reason she has to be the one to explain it at the trial. The bad guy sets a bounty on her head, and the only way to avoid being captured is to avoid any electronic devices. Once they figure this out after repeated kidnapping attempts, they end up in an Amish community. It so happens that her FBI protector came from this Amish community, and he mends family relationships while they are there.

The characters were brave, earnest people that I cared about. Each was willing to risk their lives to help others, and each was good at what they did. I like that they respected each other. The suspense came from repeated attempts to kidnap her. There was a lull while they were in the Amish community, but the danger was even higher when she came out to testify.

The Christian element was praying to God for help and God's calling to use their abilities to help others even when it brought trouble with it. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
