A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill (The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill)

Another good book. For my wife.

I love all the Huckelberry Hill's books !!!

I love this series. I mean, I never want it to end. Every single time I read about Anna Felty my heart just jumps for joy and I have a big smile on my face. They are such a delight to read about. I know they aren't technically the main characters, but they are so much fun. Sometimes I wish my husband would react to my cooking like Felty does Anna. I mean, she makes some out there kind of stuff, and he praises it like she's a world class chef! I want to be like them when I am old and (hopefully) have grandchildren.

But let's get to the story here. This may be my favorite one yet for one specific character. Wally. That boy stole my heart even when he was being a little mischievous. It's not too often that you read about a disabled Amish child, so I applaud Ms. Beckstrand to even bringing that to the table. Here's the lesson learned from this story - disabled people are just like everyone else. They don't want special treatment, they just want to be loved and accepted. Elsie saw that, and thus treated him like any other child in the classroom. His own brother, on the other hand, seemed to use his disability as an excuse for everything. At least it seemed that way to me.

Elsie and Sam were fun and sweet. It took them awhile, mostly due to their own stubbornness, to open up to each other. I enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom, as well as seeing Elsie put Sam in his place a time or two. Once again Ms. Beckstrand has made me with that I lived on Huckleberry Hill, eating Anna's unique meals, and maybe even perhaps helping her set up a couple of unsuspected youngsters! I can't wait until I can visit again.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I jumped at the chance to review another book by this fabulous author! Huckleberry Hills has to be my favorite imaginary spot in creation, where the comical, quirky characters, Anna and Felty reside! This book was one that filled my heart with joy, at the heartwarming, sweet, however misguided, matchmaking skills of this elderly woman. Anna is known throughout this series, to never be at ease, when a single individual is anywhere near her. Her belief in happiness in love and marriage is clearly shown in this new novel.

The characters are so realistically and well described, that you immediately become attached to them. Anna is such a delightful character, even when making a pest of herself! The elderly characters bring smiles and giggles as they captivate you with their individuality, while attempting to put love in the hearts of two young people.

The plot moves steadily towards the goal.... marriage of another single person!! This is a book that compels the reader to read it in one sitting. I could not put it down!! It was a sweet story that just captured my undivided attention and tickled my funny bone.

I highly recommend this five star book to all readers, those who love a sweet love story, humorous happenings and simply a GREAT book!

This book was received as a gift. The thoughts and opinions expressed are honest and my own. I was not required to write a positive review.

I have read many books based in. Huckleberry Hill and I love this community and all the characters located there. They are real and fun to get to know. How could you not love Mammi and her lack of cooking skills?

Elsie was no way looking for love when she took the teaching position. She wanted to teach her students and get over her feeling of rejection when she was let go by her previous position. She did not know What to expect when Sam stormed into her classroom.

Sam did everything he could for his brother, Wally, and his family. But not everything he did was helpful.

Sam and Elsie clashed almost every time they got together. It was a joy reading about their developing relationship.

Wally, Sam's younger brother, is a central figure in this story. He learned some valuable lessons. It is an example of how words and actions can influence your beliefs and behavior.

I received this for free to review. I give it five stars!

Lovely story. Touching and encouraging.

I love Jennifer Beckstrand's Huckleberry Hill books. They bring you to a place that you want to live. While reading these books, it feels like you there with the characters and seeing everything happen. A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill is no different. This is just one of the books from The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series. Don't be alarmed, all these books can be read as a stand-alone or in any order. 

In this one Elsie Helmuth, the granddaughter of Anna and Felty Helmuth, is a school-teacher who is determined not to get in trouble. She will do what she has to do to keep this job, even if it means not letting the brother of one of her students sabotage it. Wally Sensing is disabled, Elsie wants to help him see his potential. His brother Sam, is hot-headed and left to take care of his widowed, sick mother and Wally. Sam sees a change in Wally and is happy. But can he fix his mistakes.

I'm not going to give too much away!! There is so much to this book that you will want to find out on your own. I encourage you to pick a copy up today. You will enjoy all that happens on Huckleberry Hill. 

I received a copy of this book for free, a favorable review was not required, all opinions expressed here are my own. 

I loved this well written inspirational romance. The book has a good storyline and well developed characters. I immensely enjoyed the elderly match makers.

I received an arc from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

If you have not read any of this series yet you really need to get started! Jennifer gives you humor, heartache, faith, and yes, love. I got close to tears several times in this book, but I did hold them at bay. I just absolutely love this series and once I finish a book I dread the wait for the next one in the series, I'm soooo glad the Amish have large families so Anna and Felty have a lot of grandchildren to share the love with.

I love this series. From beginning to end it is a page turner. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
