I always enjoy books by this author and this one did not disappoint.
The love of family and the humor made this very enjoyable.
Looking forward to the next book by Ms. Beckstrand.

What a great read! Enos and Ada's story hooks you on the first page and doesn't let go. I love how this author writes a read that is fun, yet it still has some life lessons in it. I loved this book and highly recommend it.

“The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor” is the delightfully done sixth book in Jennifer Beckstrand’s Amish Quiltmaker series. This series gets better and better with each book – every time I read a new book in the series I think it is the best one yet until the next one comes along. In this book, thirty-two year old Ada Yoder has dedicated her life to taking care of her father and sisters, especially younger sister Beth. She certainly did not plan on falling in love with next door neighbor Enos Hoover, especially since he plans on taking part of what she considers her land but the attraction between the two is undeniable. The romance between the two is so nicely done that I hated when the book ended as I wanted their story to go on and on. Much of the book is laugh out loud funny, especially the interactions between Ada and Enos but also their elderly Englischer friend Cathy who is my favorite character in this series. Mixed in with the humor are bits of sadness especially in the relationship between Enos and his mother Tabitha – Beckstrand handles this well and quite believably (there is even humor among this sadness in Cathy’s interactions with Tabitha). Both Ada and Enos learn some lessons and change by the end of the book – so well done by Beckstrand.

Considering we’ve already had the pleasure of two books from Jennifer Beckstrand’s “Amish Quiltmaker’s Series” in 2024 I wasn’t expecting anything else and was content to wait until 2025 for something new from this wonderful author. So imagine my surprise when I saw The Amish Quiltmaker's Unattached Neighbor pop up. I didn’t even need to read the blurb and just knew I had to read it.
Ada Yoder takes care of her father and her three sisters. Very is the same until Enos Hoover moves next door with his difficult mother. Can two neighbors who are very different be one more than friends?
I love this series and I can’t wait for the next installment! Once again, Cathy the Englisher who drives them around, stole the show! I’m hoping for a book about her and her backstory! Many thanks to the author, Kensington Publishing, and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

The Amish Quiltmaker's Unattached Neighbor by Jennifer Beckstrand, book six in The Amish Quiltmaker series, is a clever, entertaining, emotional, and heartwarming story. When an Amish man purchases the run down farm next door to the Yoder farm, instead of being neighborly, he lets the Yoders know that they have been using six acres that belong to the farm he just bought. He wants their fence moved and the acres returned to him. Ada Yoder and her Dad Mervin Yoder believe the acres belong to them as no one has lived on that farm or kept it up for twenty years. Ada will do whatever it takes to keep those six acres, even if she has to fight her new neighbor to keep them. Handsome Enos Hoover refuses to let the matter drop and the fight begins. Enos not only has to fight Ada but also his unhappy, angry mother, who isn’t the least bit happy to be living in Colorado. Tabitha Hoover wants nothing more than to see her son’s plans fail so he will move them both back to Lancaster. Ada just wants things go back to the way they were before sneaky Enos Hoover moved next door.
Ada is stubborn enough not to give up those 6 acres too easily and so begins their journey of love, faith, mistakes, and second chances. Back and forth arguments turn into banter, with a spark of romance. Colorful characters come to their aid and some family relationships are ironed out. The interactions between Ada and Enos, even with the awkwardness and disagreements, began the foundation of their budding relationship; from anger, to disagreements, to compassion, to kindness, to forgiveness, and soon to love.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

It never ceases to amaze me how Jennifer Beckstrand is able to write stories that are so funny and feel so lighthearted while actually having a lot of spiritual depth and life lessons contained within them. This story is no exception! I loved Ada and Enos' story. I loved how they couldn't help but serve one another in love and fight for each other even while they were trying to be enemies. I have a lot to learn from their kind of love!
I received a complimentary electronic copy of this book from NetGalley. It's always a joy to visit any of Jennifer Beckstrand's Amish communities, and I look forward to the next one!

This is one of my favorite Amish authors. Great story and the characters are great. I highly recommend this book.

A solid addition to the series, I really liked the stubbornness of our main characters in this one. Cathy emerging to shape up the mother was my favorite part!

The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor by Jennifer Beckstrand is an entertaining story. I like the characters in this series and the new ones introduced in this story. I enjoyed getting to know Ada Yoder better. Ada and Enos got off to an inauspicious start. Ada is a determined woman, and the Yoder’s new neighbor, Enos Hoover, is just as stubborn (patient and kind, but stubborn as a mule). A dispute over six acres of land is going to test their mettle. I like that the story is told from Ada and Enos’s point of view. We get to see each of their perspectives on the various situations. I enjoyed the interactions between the pair. Their conflicts and awkward moments were the beginnings of their relationship. Cathy is a hoot. She has some great dialogue that provides many laugh out loud moments. Her purse reminds me of Mary Poppins’ bag (you never know what will come out of Cathy’s bag next). I liked seeing the characters develop, especially Ada and Beth. It was great to catch up with the other Yoder sisters and their families. While The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor is the sixth book in The Amish Quiltmaker series, it can be read as a standalone. I like Jennifer Beckstrand’s writing style. I find it to be engaging. Her characters are relatable, and I love the humor sprinkled throughout her stories (I laughed often while reading this story as well as the others in the series). The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor is a diverting tale with a land dispute, a firm fence, tent troubles, water rights, a messy house, foreshadowing quilt blocks, and a happy harvest.

Esther Keim helps the four Yoder sisters make a quilt for their great grandmother's birthday, with a little match making thrown in. sweet story.

I just love this series. Jennifer Beckstrand comes up with hilarious predicaments for her characters to find themselves in.
Amish quiltmaker and matchmaker, Esther Klein has been watching the Yoder women. She is thinking about Ada who is sure she is to care for her sisters and father for a lifetime. At 32 there is no husband in her future. She believes she leads such a boring life that it brings her to tears at times. Until the day a sneaky man dares to come on to the Yoder property - Enos Hoover. (Their first meeting is hysterical.)
Trouble is about to unfold. That Hoover man has moved from Pennsylvania and claims that he owns six acres that is part of Yoder property. Ada is ready to do whatever is needed to claim her family land.
Enos has burdens on his shoulders including his mother who is fighting all the way to get him to go back home. She causes problems at every turn. Can she drive him back to Pennsylvania? She is a test to his faith.
This book is another joy ride for me. I received an advanced reader's copy from Zebra Books and Kensington Publishing through NetGalley. This is my own opinion about this book. This story has laugh-out-loud moments and some very serious, sometimes sad experiences for the characters. It certainly points out that things may not be what they seem. I really like an Amish story that has real grit and life reality. Some people are simply not kind. There's a good example of that kind of human in this book. Change takes place for more than one person here. We see a great role for Cathy in this book and we get to see Esther with the next thing she has sitting on her ear.
This is a five-star read for me.

Amish fiction readers will love this sixth book of the Amish Quiltmaker series. What will it mean when Ada Yoder chooses the Bachelor’s Puzzle block for her Grossmammi’s special quilt? Her sister’s block changed their lives. Will her life change. Interesting things happen when a new neighbor moves next door. Enos is as stubborn as Ada and determined to get his own way. His mother is a force to be reckoned with and as mean as a snake. This delightful story has lessons for all. Looking forward where Beth’s quilt block will take her. Recommended!

The Amish Quiltmaker's Unattached Neighbor is book six in Beckstrand's Amish Quilter's series. Ada Yoder is a 32 year-old Amish woman who runs her dad's farm. When Enos Hoover and his mother, Tabitha, move onto the farm next door and Enos claims that six of Ada's acres are HIS, according to his deed, she's mad as a hornet and ready to fight! But as Ada gets to know Enos better by tenting out on the controversial six acres, and Enos also camps out right across the fence from her. Ada's attitude about Enos begins to change. Could these two enemies become friends, or, perhaps, even more than friends?
I enjoyed the characters in this book. Tabitha is surely a difficult lady to get along with, and there were oftentimes when I would've liked to wring her neck. But maybe there is even hope for her to change?
This is my favorite book in the Amish Quiltmaker's series.

Can be read as a standalone however it is part of an interconnected series. I wish I had found this author sooner! He's just moved in next door with his mother. According to his deed the fence separating his property from their's is off and he wants it fixed. The fence has been there for generations and she refuses to move it. How far will she go to prevent him from accessing the land? His mother is not happy that she left their home and the rest of the family and has made her feelings known to everyone. Why did they move? Despite feelings between the neighbors changing, he refuses to take things beyond friendship. What will it take for him to accept a chance at HEA?
I received a copy of this book from the author. Review voluntarily given.

Another book in the Amish Quiltmaker's series. This book focuses on Ada and Enos. I have so far loved this series. The characters are all so different and draw you in to the story. Ada and Enos are in a dispute over 6 acres. Enos can prove that he owns them but will his admiration and love for Ada make settling the dispute worth the price? Each of these stories bring the reader closer to the characters. Even though it is part of a series, it can be read alone. However, once you read one you will want to read the rest. I received a copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

It is rare to read a hate to love Amish fiction story, but that vibe comes through while reading this book. But that is what happens for Ada Yoder and Enos Hoover. Their start off on opposite sides when Enos tells Ada that six acres of her land actually belong to him and he’d like to start planting right away. They are literally on opposite sides of the fence. Ada determinedly believes the land is hers and the two almost reach a standoff.
I love these characters. Strong personalities are displayed in this novel, but kindness and compassion come through in this story. As this is an Amish romance, there is a shift between opposing views as their hearts slowly open to one another and love eventually wins out. Forgiveness can sometimes be difficult to come by, but when love comes in the picture, it is really sweet to see things unfold.
I love the interactions between Ada and Enos, even if awkwardness and disagreements began the foundation of their budding relationship. From anger, to disagreements, to compassion, to kindness, to forgiveness, and soon to love. This sixth book in the Amish Quiltmaker’s series was the full Monty. Having not read the previous titles, I am sure that I would have met some of the other characters, most notably Esther Kiem and Cathy Larsen.
Many thanks to Zebra and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor can easily be read as a standalone but I highly recommend the entire series as we see some of the same people throughout.
As always, author Jennifer Beckstrand wrote a story that kept me laughing, shaking my head, and feeling all the feels. As the title states, we meet the unattached neighbor who plans on staying unattached. As does Ada, the girl next door. Both are excellent characters and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them.
I was happy to see Ada have her story told. She’s so different from the stereotypical Amish spinster and keeps everyone on their toes. So much so that Enos not only doesn’t know what to think of her, but really doesn’t like her. And who would have thought Amish neighbors would get into a disagreement over land? The way this plays out is very humorous.
With an outspoken English friend, a heartbroken mean mother, and countless other unique characters, you don’t want to miss this book if you enjoy Amish fiction.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.

This is book six of this wonderful series. This time we find Ada butting heads with her new with neighbor Enos. He claims that Ada's family has six acres of his land. The more they argue the closer they get. Sweet romance.

This is the 6th book in the Quiltmaker’s series. In this book, The Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor, Jennifer Beckstrand with her witty humor and charm of her characters brings this book alive. Ada Yoder is the eldest daughter that feels responsible to take care of the house and farm. Enos Hoover moves in next door with his grumpy mother Tabitha and claims that the Yoder’s have a fence keeping him from 6 acres that he said are his. Ada and her father Marvin have been farming that land so Ada claims it is theirs. Both Ada and Enos are stubborn and butt heads. This book is full of Faith, Family, Friendship, Forgiveness and with witty humor that you won’t want to put it down!
