Vikki’s Musings

Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the chance to read and review The Amish Teacher’s Dilemma by Patricia Davids. My opinions are my own and are not influenced by a gift of an e-copy of this book.

The Amish Teacher’s Dilemma is a lovely Amish tale with an endearing heroine who is humble and modest. She’s given up on finding a husband and takes a teaching job in a new community. A friendship develops between her and her nextdoor neighbor. Could she hope something more can be in store for her?

Eva Coblentz is a delightful character with all the characteristics I love in an Amish Heroine. Her heart is as big as an ocean when it comes to the orphaned children living with their elder brother. She cares for them as if they were her own kinner.

Willis Gingrich is a charming hero. He’s ashamed and embarrassed by his inability to learn as others who find it so easy. He feels overwhelmed raising his three half-siblings. My heart hurt for him when he realizes his feelings for Eva are growing. He believes he is too far away from her on an intellectual level for her to ever return his regard.

The romance between Eva and Willis is sweet and based on their growing friendship. They quickly become best friends. I loved their nightly meetings in the schoolyard. I truly wanted this charming couple to find a way to each other.

If you enjoy a heartfelt romance with engaging characters and a lovely plot that, at times, will have you smiling, while at others, dotting tears from the corner of your eyes, then you will love The Amish Teacher’s Dilemma as much as I did. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I’ve already purchased the first two books in this series and read them! I understand Ms. Davids has plans to write quite a few more books in this heartwarming series. Happy reading!
