Their charming and evolving relationship is both heartwarming and sincere, with a lovely exploration of how love can bloom even from a seemingly pragmatic beginning.

In Match Made at the Amish Inn by Marta Perry, Molly Esch is content with running the local inn after being heartbroken from a past engagement. But when the inn’s owner asks her to work alongside his nephew, Aaron Fisher, things quickly get complicated.

Two standalone romance stories by different authors. Each book is part of an interconnected series. A woman that feels destined to be a spinster given an ultimatum by her father. A single father needing to reclaim control. A bride jilted finds herself again working at the Inn only for her life to be turned upside down again when her ex returns at the same time as the future owner of the Inn.

A Courtship For The Amish Spinster by Vannetta Chapman. Loved this story of long time friends meeting up again and the possibility of more. Eunice Yoder has to find a husband or a full time job or her dad is sending her to an Aunt in Kentucky. Eunice has never fit in, she is son unconventional Amish women who likes to fix things. Being mechanical isn’t what Amish women are supposed to do. Her best friend from school Zeb Mast and his son Josh move back after the death of his wife. He hires Eunice to watch his son which helps them both out. I loved this one! Must read!1 Stephanie Richardson narrated the story well.

Match Made @The Amish Inn by Marta Perry is the 8th book in her Brides of Lost Creek series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Molly Esch has been helping Leah run the Inn when Leah hurts herself but instead of asking Molly to run the Inn she invites her windowed nephew Aaron Fisher and his young daughter Becky too. They seem to clash at every turn. He has ideas of how he wants to run the Inn and won’t listen to Molly on what is already working well for the patrons of the Inn. Full of second chances, Faith, Family, and Forgiveness. Sit back and enjoy. Thank you to #NetGalley, #Harlequin Audio and the surfer for this arc audio. This is my honest review.
