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!

Thank you to Kensington Publishing, NetGalley and of course Jennifer Beckstrand for the ARC book. This is my honest review and I was not required to leave one.
This is a cute, and at times funny read. This story is Ada's, the oldest sister and still unmarried at 32, but are things about to change?
If you have read the other two books in this series, then your familiar with these four Amish women, but these are read alone books. I am waiting for the youngest Beth's story!
New Amishman in town and now a neighbor to the Yoders, and he is claiming six acres of their land!
We watch as Ada seems to go to great extreme's to prove her points and we are there as she pushes her points, often with chuckles, from me, and sometimes danger, but whom comes to her rescue?
I love Cathy, and she sure says it like it is, and how we wish we could!
An overbearing, and sometimes nasty mother, a bit of danger, and a bit of sweet romance!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.
The next book in Jennifer Beckstrand's Quiltmaker series is here. Join Esther as she matchmakes with four sisters. Ada is the oldest and takes care of her sisters and father. She is ever practical and has no time for nonsense. Enos Hoover, however, says that six of her acres are his and he is determined to get them back. As the two spend time together, though, they discover that they might have more in common than acreage. Such a fun story. I always love her books. They make me laugh out loud, but also remind me of the love of Jesus.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
Took me a while to get started, but once I was in a few chapters, I found myself enjoying the read more and more.
I love Amish romance, and I think this is going to become one of my go-to authors.
The characters and story link were great, and it was a light, enjoyable, fast, and relaxing read.
Recommend.
I adore Amish romance, and this was simply lovely. Set in Colorado, this book showcases neighbours who start out on the wrong foot, and slowly become friends. Their friendship eventually blossoms into a tender romance. As with all Amish books, there are strong elements of faith and hope.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this ARC in return for my honest review.
From the outstanding author, Jennifer Beckstrand comes the Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor. This is #6 in the Amish Quiltmaker’s series. Each one gets better and better.
Enos Hoover and his mom, Tabitha, moves into an old farm next door to Ada Yoder and her family. As always, Ms. Beckstrand has a perfect combination of emotions from happiness to sadness and everything in between. The story is full of real life, mistakes and forgiveness. It has very funny parts where you find yourself laughing out loud, and then there are other parts that tug at your heartstrings.
Every character is important to the story and the plot is thought out and delivered well, making it realistic. I keep you turning pages quickly so you can find out what happens next.
This book is a 5-star read all the way. You don’t want to miss this one. Order your copy today.
I was given an ARC from Kensington Publishing | Zebra through Netgalley, but was not required to give a positive review. Publication Date is November 26, 2024.
This book is part of a series but can be read without reading the preceding books.
If you love feisty female characters, strong yet flawed male characters, enemies to, well, not lovers, but you know what I mean, stories, then this one is going to be a perfect book for you. It had it all: stubborn main characters, an evil mother, a fight about property rights, and a learning experience where both learn, grow, and accept. There were also a lot of surprises, as well as a few laugh-out-loud episodes.
It's a fantastic read that will have you frustrated at times but thinking hard about life and your place in it at other times.

Hijinks, one-upmanship, witty banter, forgiveness, grace, Jennifer Beckstand's "The Amish Quiltmaker's Unattached Neighbor" has it all. Beckstrand writes the most delightful rom-coms. Whenever I see a Beckstrand book, it goes on my shelf.
Releases Nov.26th. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
This book takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I always enjoy Jennifer Beckstrands books. The characters have such different personalities that is made the book fun and delightful. You will definitely want this one on your to be read pile.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.
This book was full of different emotions. I throughly enjoyed the humor the Author added through out the story. This book had me Laughing out loud in the first chapter. There are other emotions that come to life in the book and I feel that is what made it such a great read. I loved the characters with their many different personalities that added so much to this story. The story plot was original and kept me flipping pages to the ending.
A new Amish neighbor moves next door the Yoder farm. It isn’t long before 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 feel the acres belong to them because no one has lived on that farm or kept it up for twenty years. Ada will do what 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 disgruntled 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 to see things go back to the way they were before sneaky Enos Yoder moved next door.
I recommend The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unattached Neighbor to readers of Amish Fiction and Christian Fiction. Fans of Jennifer Beckstrand will not want to miss reading this fun book. It is book six of the Amish Quiltmaker Series. It can be read as a standalone but most of the characters have been carried over to this book from the other five books. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the characters and their plain lifestyle. This book is scheduled for release on 11/26/24.
I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book. All thought and opinions shared here in this review are solely my own.

Ada is certainly not a happy woman in the Amish Quiltmaker's Attached Neighbor by Jennifer Beckstrand. Her two sisters, Mary and Joanna, are now married, and she has been left with her other sister, Beth who happens to be a lazy bone. Her dad is less concerned about what goes on in the farm leaving Ada with the obligation of running their household. She is miserably going on with her chores only to be interrupted by this irritating man claiming to own part of their land. But she cannot let that happen, and so both of them go to great lengths to prove their points. They find themselves spending more time together than they would like to admit, solving each other's problems, and now they are not sure where to put the line between love and hate. But Cathy their friend had warned Ada about this since they decided to make a birthday quilt for their grandmother Beulah for her hundredth birthday but Ada chose the wrong pattern according to Cathy. Will her predictions come true? Find out in this book The Amish Quiltmaker's Attached Neighbor by Jennifer Beckstrand.
I like the affection and solidarity of the Amish community as depicted by the author; they work together as one towards a common goal, making nothing impossible. Also, the determination to stand up for one another is outstanding. This gives the reader a thing or two to learn about life lessons. I additionally like the sense of humor in the book, and the story is also very solid, with no gaps in between, making the book quite fascinating.
There is nothing I don't like about the book.
I rate this book, The Amish Quiltmaker's Attached Neighbor by Jennifer Beckstrand, 5 out of 5 stars for the above reasons.
I recommend the book to readers who like romantic Christian books with a good sense of humor accompanied by lessons of good values and how to co-habit with fellow men. I also recommend it to those who have read the other series of Amish quiltmaker books by the same author; they will find the book more interesting, and it will be like a follow-up.
Another book in the Quiltmaker series. I love that these books can be read together or stand alone. This book focuses on Ada, her new neighbor and his mom. Will Ada and Enos find love? With 6 acres of land in dispute and Tabitha’s grumpy personality it will take a divine intervention. I love the really message is that God loves us no matter what and He will see us through life trials.
I didn't want to start this book yet because I knew it would be cute and funny. And it was. No, I couldn't help myself. It kept calling to me so I finally picked it up last night.
Beckstrand always does a wonderful job with her character especially one particular one.
Ada. Stern, critical but yet in her own way loving the only way she knew how. I love her character.
Beth in my opinion is the wise one. I loved her goofy ways. In some ways she reminds me of me.
Here's a,word of advice from Beth.
"Ada, you think you have to be perfect. You think you have to earn people's love,as if love is a reward for gute behavior. Love isn't a reward. Love is Gotte's law. We've already got His love. He asks us to help Him spread it."
Here's one more;
"You don't have to be a martyr. Dat and I need you, but you wear yourself out doing things for us that we should be doing for ourselves. If all that time in that tent has taught me anything, it's that you have sacrificed a great deal to make my life comfortable and I have done almost nothing for you."
This will be my favorite one in the whole series.
Cathy still aggravates me but she does have a good heart. Just not always the right timing.
I just finished this wonderful novel. So good.
You will love in getting to know Ada and Enos. The cutest and my favorite couple ever.
Enos' mamm was her own worst enemy. Geeze! Poor guy! I felt her words coming off the pages at me too! Wow! I even backed up with Ada. Oh my
But anyways, still my favorite story and I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I absolutely loved and adored it. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
5 stars from me for keeping me entertained and laughing.
I was happy to see that this book came with a cover! Beautiful!
A charming story set in an Amish community in Colorado. Squabbling neighbors start out on the wrong foot, but become allies over time. Their 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. It had me wanting a happy ending for Enos especially after all he went through. Some faith elements added inspiration and hope.
Recommend for readers who enjoy a tender romance with some inspiration. 4 stars
The Amish Quiltmakers series has quickly become a favourite of mine. In this latest instalment Jennifer Beckstrand has given us the Amish version of an enemies to lovers romance and it makes for a fantastic read. Ada and Enos are both very engaging characters. I found myself drawn to them and couldn’t choose a side. Both won over my heart and I couldn’t get enough of their witty banter because underneath it all was an underlying attraction that kept their arguments and discussions very interesting. I couldn’t wait for them to throw in the towel and get their happily ever after. I’m giving THE AMISH QUILTMAKER’S UNATTACHED NEIGHBOR the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!
