Amity Hope

Pine Creek Matchmaker by Amity Hope takes us back to Pine Creek. It was good to see Caleb Weaver and Sadie Ziegler again. They are older and, hopefully, wiser. Pine Creek Matchmaker is a cute story. I found the story to be easy to read. It moved along at a good pace. I enjoyed getting to know Caleb and Sadie. I liked Sadie’s cheerful personality. Matchmaking abounds in this story. I loved the humor. The kitten was a good way to bring Caleb and Sadie together (a sweet meet cute). Caleb is a good candymaker and cook. The candy descriptions had my mouth watering (made me wish their candy store was nearby). I appreciated the epilogue which nicely wrapped up the story. While Pine Creek Matchmaker is the third book in the Pine Creek Amish series, it can be read as a standalone. I have enjoyed reading the series from the beginning. Pine Creek Matchmaker is an amiable Amish tale with a cute kitten, merry matchmaking, scrumptious candy, judgmental people, a difficult decision, and a caring community.… (mehr)

Pine Creek Marriage by Amity Hope is the second book in the Pine Creek series. It can be read as a standalone if you have not indulged in Pine Creek Courtship. Pine Creek Marriage is a delightful story. I opened the book, and I was immediately drawn into the story. I like the author’s writing style (light, easy). The story is told from Samuel Kurtz’s and Amelia Baumann’s point-of-view. Amelia is a widow living with Mary in Pine Creek. She has no intention of marrying again because she cannot stand to have her heart shattered again from loss. Samuel is moving back to Pine Creek with his daughter, Ruthie. He wants to provide a stable life for his daughter which means purchasing a home and establishing a business. Mary is Samuel’s relative and the property she lives on used to belong to Samuel’s grandfather. With Samuel and Ruthie living in the daedihaus, Amelia sees them frequently. Mary likes to push the couple together as well. I like that this is a slow romance (a kiss or hug is the extent of the intimacy). Ruthie is a cutie who adds humor and vibrancy to the story. Mary is another great character. She is a sweet woman who loves to play matchmaker. I loved that the author has Samuel helping with tasks that are traditionally done by the wife or female in the household. The author brought the characters to life in this story. They are realistic characters who have foibles. I appreciated the epilogue that nicely wrapped up Pine Creek Marriage. It was great to catch up with Emma and Levi from Pine Creek Courtship. I like the community of Pine Creek. They are good people who are there for one another. Pine Creek Marriage is a heartwarming story of loss, love, friendship, family, and faith. I hope there will be another book in the Pine Creek series. Pine Creek Marriage is an emotional Amish tale with the adorable Ruthie, the matchmaking Aunt Mary, caring cousins, a meddling mother, Samuel’s secret, a resolute relative, and an appealing Amelia.… (mehr)
