The Amish Matchmakers - by Beth Wiseman (Hardcover)

The Amish Matchmakers by Beth Wiseman takes us back to the Peony Inn owned by Esther and Lizzie. I just love Esther and Lizzie. They are delightful characters. You never know what Lizzie will do next. The renter of their guest cottage, Dr. Benjamin Stoltzfus (a retired dentist) has Lizzie’s curiosity piqued. There is the tiny problem of Lizzie being afraid to enter the cottage because she believes the former lodger is haunting it. I enjoyed getting to know Ben as well as his granddaughter, Mindy. Mindy appears taken with Lizzie and Esther’s handyman, Gabriel. A relationship between the pair seems impossible since one is Englisch and the other is Amish. Of course, the same can be said for Ben and Lizzie. I laughed often while reading The Amish Matchmakers. Misconceptions, miscommunication, rivalry, and shenanigans provide plenty of humor. Life with Lizzie is never dull. They do say that laughter is good for the soul. There are touching moments as well. I love the closeness between Lizzie and Esther. They are sisters and best friends. If someone truly knows you, you cannot keep a secret from them. I like how faith was incorporated into the story. He has a plan for our lives. We need to put our faith in Him and follow the path He lays out for us. We get to see a beautiful illustration of this truth in The Amish Matchmakers. I appreciated that the author showed that you are never too old to fall in love (I am hoping there is a Mr. Right out there for me). I loved the epilogue which made sure I ended the story with a smile on my face. The Amish Matchmakers has family, friendship, love, and faith. The Amish Matchmakers can be read as a standalone, but you will be missing out on some entertaining stories. The Amish Matchmakers is a lively tale with compassionate sisters, a dashing dentist, a loving granddaughter, a friendly handyman, several secrets, and loads of laughter.

Wowzers! Hilarious and heartwarming. What a hoot of a ride. I have loved these two since they first appeared in previous books as their antics had me rolling with laughter. If you want to brighten your day then spend it with Esther and Lizzie. We are never too old for love and these matchmakers have met their match when they try to match each other with the new tenant of their rental cottage. Throw in Benjamin’s granddaughter and Gabriel a young Amish man as a side story and you will be quickly turning pages to find out a secret that ties everything together. I felt joyous and lighthearted after reading this as the characters are so lovable and the written words envelope you like a cuddly blanket. I found it to be gobsmacking good and even if you are not a fan of Amish Fiction I guarantee you will love this. All I can say it leaves me saying more please. Put this on the top of your must read pile. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
