J. Weiss: AMISH UNDER FIRE had my heart racing with so much adrenaline due to this wonderfully written book. This is the second book in the COVERT POLICE DETECTIVE series and it had a depth to the story and the characters that I wasn't expecting. I kept turning the pages to see what could possibly happen next.

A romantic suspense that had so many twists and turns with more bad guys than I expected. The Amish way of life, along with prayers, were woven throughout and added another layer as the Englisher’s and Amish beliefs and attitudes often collided. There was nice closure and an unexpected feeling of happiness. I look forward to reading more of this series along with other books by this author.

Judith K.: Ashley Emma hit a home run penning "Amish Under Fire"
I was on the edge of seat.
Excitement! Doubt! Wonder! Fear! And let's remember love's God working in hearts.
So glad Ashley Emma threaded in character s from previous books. Enjoy!

Kimmie61: I truly and fully enjoyed the twists and turns in this book! True that the Amish are uniquely different, but there is a lot to learn along your journey. Towards the end of the story you will find out how important it is to forgive and forget as the Lord requires of us, Amish or not. The part of the story where Derek goes to the prison is a lesson we should all learn from and it's one of the most powerful parts as well.

Julie Morales: This is the second book in this series and it was another good one.
Maria thinks she’s safe. She left her abusive boyfriend Trevor and now thinks it’s a good time to return to her Amish community. She doesn’t realize all the terrible things Trevor is involved in though, and she doesn’t realize she’s soon going to have way more than Trevor to run from.
She returns to her community with two body guards as the stalking increases and more Amish girls are harmed by the same people trying to capture Maria. Apparently, Trevor was involved in a human trafficking ring and they think she knows more about them than she does. They’re determined to catch her and find out what she knows, and probably kill her too.
The romance here was chaste at first. One of the body guards is attracted to Maria and the attraction grows the more time they spend together. But Maria has gone back to the Amish and he’s a detective in a special unit that could put anyone he cares about in danger. She’s just rejoining the church and he would never dream of becoming Amish…or would he?
This was a quick, captivating read. I love just about anything Amish I read and these stories are good...

Sam: I really enjoyed reading this book part of a five book series and I did not read them in order but was impressed by them all this one starts off quickly slows down a bit and builds back up to a suspense full end but a happy one just one thing I am glad the bodyguards we're not looking after me (read it to see) but a good book non the less.😉

A. Violine: Maria has finally reported her abusive ex-boyfriend Trevor to the police, and he has been arrested. What she did not know was that Trevor was part of a sex trafficking ring. After his arrest, Maria is being stalked. Derek, one of the police officers on her case, thinks it’s by one or several criminals from the ring in which Trevor is a part of. From then on, he is her assigned bodyguard to keep her safe and follows her everywhere, even back in the Amish community. There he learns about the Amish way and Maria even better, which makes him wish for a life filled with faith and love…
The characters in this book are strong. They have values, faith, and a heart so filled with love and Christ that they are able to forgive the worst of people, those who have abducted, killed, and hurt the people they love most. Given similar situations, I hope my faith would be as strong that I could do the same. This is a fascinating story about a woman who, during the worst times in her life, helped the police to dismantle a sex trafficking ring and falls in love with her bodyguard along the way. Enjoy ☺!

Merry: Great stories by Ashley Emma, don’t miss out on any of these. I look forward to the next one. The going back was hard for Maria but she knew it was probably the best for her son.

Sheila: This is second book In series and tackles some tough issues well. Just when I was ready for the happily ever after there was another plot twist. This book kept me up at night reading and I cared about the characters. It focussed on main characters and their developing feelings for each other but also drew in other characters from first book sympathetically.
I am not sure how easy it is for an outsider to be absorbed into the lifestyle but minor point. The stalking by trafficking gang felt very threatening. A lovely romance weaving around serious issues.

Sandra: Well-done, Ashley Emma! Unfortunately because I read 'A Second Chance for Alexis' and 'Freya - The Confession' first, they contained a lot of spoilers for this Unit#2 book 'Amish Under Fire'. I also should have read Unit #1 before this as there is also a lot of spoiler information given in this one which would somewhat spoil the climax of Unit#1. Amish Under Fire is the story of Maria, an Amish girl, who went through some terrible experiences in her young life. It also covers Derek's sad life story and explains how he ended up in the CPDU working to rescue young girls from trafficking and to capture and imprison criminals.

Although this book contains a number of small editing mistakes, it is fast moving and interesting and clean, and could be recommended to young teens and adults of any age. Unlike 'A Second Chance for Alexis' and 'Freya - The Confession', it is a complete novel which I think readers will enjoy.
