The Amish Matchmaker (Paradise Valley) by Amy Lillard

 What happens when an Amish writer is mistaken for a matchmaker?  

While most women her age are searching for husbands, Astrid Kauffman has chosen a different path—writing romance novels and donating her profits to her beloved Amish community. But when Astrid struggles with writer’s block, she agrees to play matchmaker for Imogene Yoder, a widowed mother of rambunctious twin boys. Perhaps the diversion—and the entrĂ©e it gives Astrid to the stories among the Widows’ Club—will spark her creativity . . .
 
Fortunately, Astrid has just the match for Imogene: a widower she believes is the finest, most handsome man in town. In fact, Astrid realizes he’s perfect . . . for herself! Soon, the plot thickens as Imogene questions what kind of marriage she really wants, and Astrid wonders what kind of matchmaker falls for someone else’s match. But by letting faith guide the way, all involved may discover true love has written a far better next chapter than any of them expected . . .

Astrid is in a writers slump and thinks that Imogene is the answer to her prayers. Bumbling through and pretending to be a matchmaker sets the scene for chaos, laughter, and the mischief of two adorable twins who have their own matchmaking agenda.   

Amy Lillard delivers another amazing book with likable characters and a fun, easy read.  

I found the book to be engaging and fun.  There were a few parts that were a little slow, but overall it was a great read.  Amy has a way of bringing characters to life and showing the Amish as real people with problems just like everyone else.  

So pick up your copy of the Amish Matchmaker and enjoy a lighthearted and fun story!  Happy Reading.
