Rachael’s Decision is the sixth book in the Amish Charm Bakery series. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. The story contains good writing with realistic characters. The story moved at a gentle pace. There was a good flow to the story. I enjoyed getting to know Rachael, Nathan, and Caleb. Nathan’s children, Joy and Thad are sweethearts. Joy stood out to me. She is a precocious child. I like that we get to catch up with the characters in the other Amish Charm Bakery novels including Sheriff Williams and Dr. Harrison. I like how the author uses Sheriff Williams and Dr. Harrison’s having breakfast and reading the paper to add historical details. I found Rachael’s Decision to be an emotional story. It is a story that tugs at your heartstrings. Faith was beautifully incorporated into the story. The characters trust God and rely on Him to guide them. I like that they pray about a decision before making it. I like how the characters had the love and support of family, friends and community. Rachael’s Decision is a poignant tale with a caring community, a bevy of baked goods, a sweet suitor, two sweet kids, an upsetting secret, and a generous God.

The Charm Amish Bakery Series has been such a joy to read and this book is a delightful way to end it! Author Molly Jebber gives us a chance to catch up with many of the characters that we've met before and another glimpse of Amish life as it was in the early 1900s. Rachael Schlabach works with her sister-in-law Magdelena at the Amish Charm Bakery and she has a difficult choice to make. All she's ever wanted is to be a mother but should she marry a widow that she doesn't romantically love so that she can become a mother to his young children? What about the handsome newcomer who's just arrived in Charm? Jebber offers a poignant portrayal of Rachael's dilemma. Her sweet, caring nature and her belief in God's Will won't allow her to make a selfish decision but she still knows that pain and hurt are bound to happen. Twists and turns, along with a strong thread of faith, make this a captivating story! Fans of Amish fiction and clean romance will definitely enjoy Rachael's Decision. I received a digital copy of this book from the author via Celebrate Lit and NetGalley. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

What a great way to finish up The Amish Charm Bakery series. I’m sad to see it end but was glad Rachel was chosen to be last as her story was as charming as the series title. If you are looking for a more simplistic way of life then delve into this series as you will wish you could actually visit the bakery and get to know the characters personally. I love that Caleb looks beyond Rachel’s disabilities and looks at her heart and doesn’t give up on his pursuit of her. It reminds me of the way God pursues and woos us to Him. Even though this takes place in 1915 it feels like it could be taking place today, so even if you aren’t a historical reader you would still enjoy this. I loved the deep ties of family, friends, and community while trusting God to show His perfect plans. A perfect example of God making beauty from the ashes. I felt blessed after reading this one. I received a complimentary copy from CelebrateLit. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
The first ingredient is always love…

1915 Ohio Rachael enjoys her time working at the Amish Charm Bakery, baking, creating, and meeting new and old customers. She doesn’t let her limp hold her back. She obtained her injury and lost her fiancé in an accident a while back. She is still looking for love and has possible suitors in a widower with two children and a newcomer in town, Caleb, who immediately sparks her interest. These characters all won me over, as they did in previous stories, except for newcomer Frannie. She was demanding, selfish and lazy. But she was also sister-in-law to Caleb, who Rachael has taken an interest in. Complications arise with several relationships and things begin to get confusing. How will this ever resolve? Grab a chair with a beverage and maybe a cookie or two and disappear into Charm, Ohio. A nice escape from reality for a while. A bonus is three delicious recipes in the back from the bakery. I can almost smell them baking! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Celebrate Lit but was not required to write a review.

I loved getting to know Rachel better in this last book of the series. We are able to understand her loss better as the author shares how she lost her intended husband. It is mentioned that Rachel has a limp due to the accident which I think has caused her to be a little self conscious. I adore how Rachel is so caring and humble. The author gives us a story where Rachel finds herself being pursued by two men. I know it was hard for Rachel to make a decision but I was happy with her choice and was hoping for a happily ever after. However complications set in when Rachel tells Caleb something that she feels will cause him not to want to marry her. I loved the turmoil that we witness as Rachel is torn about who to marry. The author shows readers how important it is to rely on your faith and to trust God to show you the right direction for you life. I liked both men and at times I could understand why Rachel had a difficult decision. Nathan wants a mother for his children but does he truly love Rachel? Caleb loves Rachel and the feeling are mutual but Rachel believes he will be unhappy because she can’t give him a family. This story is filled with emotions that will make you cry as well as give you hope as we follow Rachel on her journey to find happiness. There is one character in the story that really tried my patience. She was very selfish and demanding. Her heart is bitter and jealous as she finds out that her future is in jeopardy. This character teaches us that bitterness causes us to become closed off from feelings of joy. The author does an excellent job of illustrating how envy can become something that pulls you away from God’s plan for your life. I loved the surprises in the story and how faith plays a big part in showing how we should never give up on happiness. This is a beautiful story about family, love, community and faith as we close out this series. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
