Review of “A Perfect Amish Match” by Vannetta Chapman

A Perfect Amish Match

Book description from Book Bub:

“After three failed relationships, Amish bachelor Noah Graber would rather disappoint his parents than try again. But when matchmaker Olivia Mae Miller agrees to provide courting lessons, Noah’s perfect match becomes clear–it’s Olivia Mae herself! With ailing grandparents at home, she hadn’t planned on love or marriage. Might a future with Noah be everything she’s been missing?”

My Review:

Be prepared, because I’m going to gush over this book.  I’ve read lots and lots of Amish fiction, but this is truly one of the sweetest Amish stories I’ve ever read.

I fell completely in love with the characters of Olivia Mae and Noah.  Olivia is sweet, caring, and self-sacrificing.  She’s given up her own dreams to care for her aging grandparents, but she has done it with grace and love.  Even though she’s young, these same characteristics make her a very successful matchmaker.  Noah is a good-hearted, hard-working young man who is an introvert and just does not know how to act or talk on a date.  

This story becomes quite charming when Olivia the matchmaker decides to give Noah lessons on how to act while on a date.  I laughed at all of Noah’s corny jokes and how clueless he was about what young Amish women expected on a date.  As the relationship deepens between Olivia and Noah, some serious decisions have to be made concerning the care of her grandparents.  The question becomes how self-sacrificing should  they be with their own hopes as they seek to do the right thing for all concerned.

There’s both laughter and tears in this story, which makes it the best kind of book to read.  If you love Amish fiction, you will fall in love with Olivia and Noah, too.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
