The Amish Matchmaker by Amy Lillard

 

While most women her age are searching for husbands, Astrid Kauffman has chosen a different path--writing romance novels and donating her profits to her beloved Amish community. But when Astrid struggles with writer’s block, she agrees to play matchmaker for Imogene Yoder, a widowed mother of rambunctious twin boys. Perhaps the diversion—and the entrée it gives Astrid to the stories among the Widows’ Club—will spark her creativity . . .
 
Fortunately, Astrid has just the match for Imogene: a widower she believes is the finest, most handsome man in town. In fact, Astrid realizes he’s perfect . . . for herself! Soon, the plot thickens as Imogene questions what kind of marriage she really wants, and Astrid wonders what kind of matchmaker falls for someone else’s match. But by letting faith guide the way, all involved may discover true love has written a far better next chapter than any of them expected.

My Review

 I really enjoyed this read, it quickly became a page turner, loved how Amish Romance writer Astrid Kauffman mistakenly becomes, or I should say tries to be a matchmaker.

As the read evolved, I did figure out how the story was heading, but the journey for answers is is great, and I was surprised how everything worked out.

Be ready for some cuteness with Imogene's twin, mischievous, delightful sons, and catalyst to a new family!

Now this is the second book in this series, but it is really a stand alone, you will not be lost.

I am really looking for more from this author, and another great read!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.
