An Unusual Amish Winter Match by Vannetta Chapman is a cute story. Ada is unlike her older sisters. She cannot cook, knit, or sew (she should be kept away from knitting needles). Ada is quirky with an upbeat attitude. She has a problem keeping a job which is how she has ended up working at the Shipshewana Outdoor Market where her father is the manager as a Girl Friday. It is a good thing her father has a laid-back attitude (with all those daughters he needs one). Ada has a soft spot for animals, especially the young and those that are getting up in years. Ada’s mixed-up phrases and actions had me chuckling. Ethan is an auctioneer at the market and Ada’s interference is affecting his commissions. Ethan’s brother, Aaron, is married to Ada’s sister, Bethany. Ethan’s orderly life is upended by Ada, and it is giving him a headache (literally). I like Vannetta Chapman’s writing style. Her stories are easy to read with realistic characters and situations. I loved the humor sprinkled throughout the story. Faith was nicely woven into the story. We are reminded that at Christmas the best gifts are those that cannot be purchased. The special gifts are those that come from the heart. Family, friends, romance, and faith are the featured elements. An Unusual Amish Winter Match is the third novel in the Indiana Amish Market series. While it can be read on its own, I recommend reading all the books in this charming series. An Unusual Amish Winter Match is a diverting tale with cute kittens, adorable dogs, an albino donkey, an aggravated auctioneer, supportive sisters, and benevolent bishop. ( )

Ada is not your "typical" Amish girl. She deeply loves animals and is very conscientious about seeing to their well-being. She is a somewhat quirky character, and that will make you like her even more! Ethan is sensible, serious and Ada is none of that which seems to maybe annoy him just a bit... But serious family issues may cause them to help out and end up spending unwanted time together.

I really enjoyed this sweet Amish romance and you never know the circumstances that bring people together. I am sure you will love it too, if you are an Amish fan like me!
