I had a hard time getting into this book. But after a couple chapters I couldn't put it down. I hope there are more books, I would like to know how things turn out with grandmother Inez.

Thank you netgalley and harlequin for allowing me to read this title for an honest review.

Annie Wagler has a selfless plan to set up Caleb Hartz with her twin sister Leanna. She knows that Leanna is very attracted to Caleb, but Annie is as well. Leanna has suffered great heartbreak and Annie will do anything she can to help lead her to happiness. Annie sets the wheel in motion to try and bring the couple together.

Meanwhile, Caleb is about to open up a bakery and heads to the Wagler home to hire one of the twins to work for him. In truth, Caleb has no idea who is who! When it turns out to be Annie that he made the offer to, he cannot turn back on his word. However, he is quite drawn to Annie, so he would rather have been working with Leanna.

Just as Caleb is about to show Annie his shop and the plans he's made, he is shocked to discover his teenage cousin Becky and her infant son hiding out. She has run away and seeks protection with Caleb. The only arrangement that seems feasible is for Becky to stay with Annie's family. Now, between Annie working at the shop, and helping to care for Becky and the baby, Caleb and Annie are thrown together quite frequently. Annie sees this as a good opportunity. Maybe she can convince Caleb to accompany Leanna. Anything actually. Oh, but does this pain Annie. As a loving sister, she is not concerned with her future, so she will do what she can. It doesn't take Caleb very long at all to tell the difference between the twins and oh how does his heart skip a beat more than once.

The Amish Bachelor's Baby is a very sensitive and sweet read. I adored this story and admit to being rather intrigued by how drawn Caleb was to Annie. I love the whole idea of pheromones and this has made this a pretty sappy read for me. I do admit to being saddened by Becky's situation and choices, but loved the way the story concluded. I do hope that we get Leanna's story soon.

The other books in the series are The Amish Suitor and The Amish Christmas Cowboy. The Amish Widower's Twins will be available soon.

Many thanks to Love Inspired and to NetGalley for this ARC to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Who are Annie and Leanna? Who is Caleb? What do we learn about the girls and their mischief that they got up to through 3rd grade? I couldn't help but to laugh. Who are Becky Sue and Joey? How do we meet them? What happens at the store when Caleb and Annie go there one day? What do they find? The use of 'ain't so' in the book so often threw me off every time I came across it and I had to try to figure out in my own mind what the author meant each time it was used. I think I came up with 'isn't that right'? This threw my normal reading speed of the book off. It normally would not have taken me 2 days. It was the one thing I did not like about this story, as I had to re-read everything I had just read to figure out the author's meaning. What happens with Leanna and Caleb at the mud sale? What is a mud sale? Why is it happening? This was such a good read. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much at the end.

This is quick read that the author has placed not too far from where I live, and it is a new settlement, and surprises happen that you won’t see coming.
I was looking for something else to happen when I read the title of this book, but the author I have read before and enjoyed, and this is not an exception, you will be quickly page turning.
As you try to figure out Caleb’s cousin, you will be scratching your head as Annie tries to set her sister up with her boss. A good quick read, and left me wanting more!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.

Lovely book with some nice twists. I especially love stories where sisters look out for each other. A great rainy day read.

Caleb Hartz asks Annie Wagler to help him with work in his shop, Annie is a twin and believes that he meant to ask her sister so Annie sets her mind to matchmaking her sister and Caleb. But when his younger cousin shows up with her baby son, Joey in tow, Caleb and Annie work together to help her get back on her feet.



Matchmaking schemes ensue, will Caleb and Annie realize what a great team they make or will they stay oblivious?



The title of this book is honestly quite baffling and very misleading, as it makes it sound like the baby is Caleb's instead of his cousin, Becky Sue's, and actually Caleb and the baby don't spend much time together at all. I just had to say that, because while I really enjoyed the book, the title is kinda making me crazy.



Caleb is hardworking and love his family, he goes out of his way to help others and really enjoys Annie's help with his cousin and at the shop.



A sweet Amish romance, filled with humorous situations, great characters, and plenty of heart. Annie has a big heart and wants the best for those around her, even if it means denying her own happiness. This was a really fun-fast paced read, with a sweet conclusion. A perfect quick read for a cold winter night.

I thought this was okay. I really expected more. For me there was something missing that usually makes Amish romance worth reading

I could not finish this book. The writing was inconsistent and awkward, with incorrect or conflicting details. I also found it distracting that so many of the plain folk had Hispanic names when traditionally they are of Dutch or German decent. Perhaps this does happen, particularly in younger generations, but this was characters of older generations as well.

Out of respect for the author I have not posted this review publically.

This is the first book I've read by this author so I didn't realize it was a part of a series. The title didn't make sense to me so I kept waiting for the twist. I loved Annie's spirit and compassion. I did find Caleb to be an unusual Amish character but like that he followed his dream. I would recommend reading the first two books in this series before this one. Very enjoyable! Recommended!

When Annie Wagler takes the job helping Caleb Hartz start his bakery, she does it so she can throw him and her twin sister together. Unfortunately for Annie, the more time she spends with Caleb, the more she realizes she loves him herself. Will she stick with her plan, breaking her own heart in the process? Or, will she decide that Caleb's love is worth fighting for?

Caleb Hartz has dreamed for years of opening a bakery, and now that he has helped establish the new community he is now a part of, he is ready to tackle that dream. He asks Annie Wagler to help him get his building ready. As they work together, Annie seems to bubble over with ideas for how he can make the bakery better. Can he see past the criticism he received from his former girlfriend, to the giving heart that Annie possesses?

When Caleb's unmarried second cousin shows up in his bakery with a baby in tow, Caleb has a dilemma. Since he, also, is unmarried, she can't stay with him. Can he ask Annie's family to take on two more? What will it take for Caleb and Annie to finally see that, maybe, they've been working side-by-side with their best match?

This was a fun book to read. Annie sincerely wants to see her twin sister happy. She's so sincere about it that she's willing to give up her own happiness so that her sister can find hers. And Caleb struggles with telling the twins apart, creating some pretty funny moments. The moment he realizes that he doesn't have that issue anymore, is the moment he realizes he really only sees Annie. Then, the fun really begins.

If you enjoy Amish fiction, this is a fun, fairly quick read. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this sweet Amish story. Both of the main characters, Caleb and Annie, had been deeply hurt by others and needed to learn to trust again. There’s a young teenage runaway with a baby who need the love and support from their family. There’s some well-intentioned matchmaking that goes awry, but though it all, there’s friends and family who are ready to help with any need. A great storyline about community and faith.

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

I really enjoyed this book but once again I feel like this title should not be the title of the book. It is very misleading. Other than Caleb being the baby's cousin, there is no real connection to him.

As for the story itself...it was terrific! I loved Annie and her kind heart plus all of her great ideas! Caleb was sweet and thoughtful. I was thrilled to read a story about an Amish man being a baker...such a great idea. I was hoping to find Caleb's Chocolate Chip maple syrup cookies and Annie's famous hot chocolate recipes at the end of the story...it would be a nice bonus to the book.
I hope there is a sequel in the works for Leanna! She and her goats have a story to tell!

A well written inspirational romance. I enjoyed the plot and the author’s writing. I received an arc from Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.

A cute story, though i don't think the title fit the character or the story very well.

** ARC received from netgalley **

3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book. The beginning felt a little disjointed as there were many character names mentioned in passing and I felt a bit confused.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
