This was such a sweet story! I loved how the characters developed throughout the story. At first, Daisy seemed to be a little too much but she grew on me throughout the book with her unselfishness and compassion. Perry was a man who had been hurt in life but his care for people and butterflies was remarkable. One of my favorite characters was Ferman. I enjoyed him being the grumpy old man but still cared about those around him.

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

Provides just what the reader is looking for in an Amish romance. The characters and the storyline should satisfy as the inevitable conclusion is expected and doesn’t disappoint.

I love this author and the cover. I knew it would be a great book. Must read if you like Amish books.

What if your family was always trying to marry you off but you liked being single? Eleven of Pery Bontrager's brothers discussed how to find him a wife - Jesse offered to tell Perry about his mother writing 12 letters to seek out a wife for Perry.

In the meantime, Daisy is feeding Maynard a wonderful dinner with her parents and he was reading a paper while she was quizzing him about if he liked her dinner.
Maynard and Daisy had the same routine every time they saw each other and Daisys' parents were worried for her as Maynard not ready to commit to Daisy in any way.

Her parents concoted a plan for Daisy to go help her cousin Grace plan her wedding, but they have ulterior motives.

Daisy goes to her cousins house but they are not home, so she knocks on the neighbors door amd the neighbor is Perry.

Perry and Daisy become friends, but is that enough?

Kathleen Fuller has done another amazing job. I immediately fell in love with all the characters as they each brought something to the storyline and made the book enjoyable. It is always exciting to see how Gods plans come to light when it involves answered prayers on His time, not ours and especially when it turns out in a way that is totally unexpected. This is a delightful book as Daisy and Perry agree to act like they are in a relationship to keep their families from matching them up with other people. Find out if their plan backfires or if they are destined to be single the rest of their life. I highly recommend this book.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.

Having read quite a few of Kathleen Fuller’s books, I can honestly say that, THE MARRIAGE PACT is officially my favourite!

There was something incredibly satisfying about reading Perry and Daisy’s story. I was immediately drawn into it and found myself enjoying both main characters very much. Daisy was delightful even when I wanted to shake her and Perry was charming in the way a slightly grumpy yet gentle, man can be. You could see that they were made for each other and watching them fall in love was everything. Even though this was a sweet and wholesome romance, Perry and Daisy had incredible chemistry that you could feel and added so much to their story.

I can’t recommend this book enough! THE MARRIAGE PACT gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR & Enjoy!

5 stars, Thank God for Unanswered Prayers

THE MARRIAGE PACT: AMISH OF MARIGOLD SERIES, BOOK 3
by Kathleen Fuller

In Birch Creek, Ohio, Perry Bontrager, 31 is a humble Amish man who is a single, horseshoer for his community. He is perfectly happy with his life, but his mother is not. Their family is quite large and Perry is the only unmarried member. His mother is determined to see her wayward son wed.

In Dover, Delaware, Daisy Hershberger, 25 is in love with a wonderful man, named Maynard Miller. Her mother and father are concerned about Daisy's infatuation. Daisy suddenly gets sent to Marigold, Ohio to help her cousin and her aunt plan her cousin's upcoming wedding.

Perry and Daisy meet and begin to talk about the plans that their parents have for them. They decide to have a pretend relationship, to get them out of the uncomfortable positions caused by their families.

Ferman Eash, is an interesting character, I really like him and Perry. Highly recommend.

I think often of the unanswered prayers in my own life. Looking back and being so glad this or that didn't happen the way that I thought it should have at the time.

This was a sweet and an adorable novel.
Really the only thing I didn't like was that selfish Maynard. Actually they both got on my nerves but I did have to laugh a time or two at Daisy and her shenanigans.
So hard headed that both of them couldn't see past the end of their noses.
I really do love how God's timing worked out things for everyone involved. This is what made it hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.
There's a time and place for everything in our lives.
I think I especially loved getting to know Ferman too. My heart kind of broke for the lonely old man. But, he is a wonderful man underneath all that crustiness
Pain will make anyone like that. I know it does me. Some days I just want to cry because of it so I know just how he feels.
Family means well. Perry's family made me crack up.
I didn't start to like Daisy until halfway in the book. I won't say why I'll let other readers figure it out.
But I really did enjoy this novel. I'm looking forward to more about this huge family. I can't begin to imagine such a huge family! It's probably a blessing but yet annoying at the same time. I hope I get to see this wonderful cast of characters again in the future. They are truly a delight!
5 stars from me for keeping me entertained. I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
