A delightful book featuring two previously released books by Jean and Wanda Brunstetter.
The books follow the lives of twins Elma and Thelma.

The Lopsided Christmas Cake

My Review

A quick and fun read. Twins, Elma and Thelma inherit their grandparents store and home. One sister sees a flyer asking town's people to bake cakes to be auctioned of to help for a fundraiser. The sisters fix up the house but it's a bit overwhelming to them. A lopsided cake involving a cat brings a chance at love for these twins.

The Farmers’ Market Mishap

My Review

One of the original founders of the Amish genre, Wanda E. Brunstetter has done it again.
This is the second book in the Lopsided Christmas Cake series.
It was great to read such a light,fun read after some of the books I've been reading dealing with heavier subjects. The twins, Thelma and Elma no longer live together as Thelma has gotten married and is expecting a boppli since the last book. The sisters are still running their general/fabric store but it's tiring out Elma since with Thelma expecting she really can't help out many hours weekly.
Thelma and Elma go to the Farmer's Market to sell produce and due to a funny mishap, Elma meets Ben. On a flower delivery Ben makes for his mother he takes along his dog, Hunter . As Hunter is chasing the customers cat he runs off and gets lost devastating, Ben. An old boyfriend of Elma's is back in the picture but will Elma even choose either of them or is she too picky in love?
I loved how the dog brought Elma and the man she chose together. When I read a Wanda Brunstetter book I can always count of good quality writing and great Christian values . Superb author!

The Twice as Nice Amish Romance Collection tells the stories of twin sisters, Thelma and Elma. When their grandparents leave their house and general store to the sisters, Thelma and Elma leave home to begin a life of their own. They soon meet best friends, Joseph and Delbert. Will they be able to overcome all the obstacles they face in living away from home for the first time? Will they find love at the same time? How will things change when another man, Ben, comes into the picture?

I enjoyed the majority of this collection. Some parts felt a little far-fetched, but all-in-all, this collection was a sweet short read. If you like to Wanda Brunstetter's Amish fiction, you will want to grab this one.

*I received a complimentary copy of The Twice as Nice Amish Romance Collection through the publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. My positive review is not required.

This collection features two books that were previously released but have been combined, as they each focus on a different twin (Elma and Thelma). The twins are opposites, which makes for an interesting mix. The first story focuses on Elma, and the second is on Thelma. Characters and scenarios are realistic. The pace was a bit slow, and the stories were a bit predictable, but they were still enjoyable.

A great collection of two precious stories by Wanda and Jean Brunstetter.

The Lopsided Christmas Cake is the first book in a series by Wanda Brunstetter and her daughter-in-law, Jean Brunstetter.

I bought this book back in 2015 when it first came out but it is worth reminding everyone to read it this Christmas if you have not done so.

It is the story of how a lopsided cake helps a girl find love.

The story is a "happy" read and you will enjoy it. It is also a quick read.

This is a lighthearted love story and also tells of sisterly love.

Such a fun beginning to a cute series. Get yours today.


The Farmer’s Mishap is the sequel to Lopsided Christmas Cake. This is Elma’s story. She is living across the street from Thelma, her twin sister. She still lives in the house given to them at their grandparents death, and still runs the store, mostly by herself since Thelma is married and expecting her first child.

Elma has just about given up hope of marriage until she meets Ben Wagler at the farmer’s market.

There is a big problem. Ben lives in another town and Elma wants nothing to do with a long-distance relationship.

Will Elma continue to put others firs and loose the chance for true love.

This collection is a must read.

* THE LOPSIDED CHRISTMAS CAKE - Wanda Brunstetter -
Thelma and Elma, 32 yo, are sisters. They moved to Topeca, to run the shop from Gran they inherited.
"Free-spirited, that is what Dad called Thelma, while he'd labeled Elma as the serious one".
The twins are a special bond, but as said Emma: "We may look alike and enjoy some of the same things, but we're not identical in every sense of the word".
They cooked a Christmas cake for a charity auction, and met two nice single man, perhaps love is in the future for them?
* THE FARMER'S MARKET MISHAP - Wanda Brunstetter -
Thelma found her soul mate and now is happy married, she lives near Elma in Topeca.
Elma runs her grandparents shop, grows a vegetable garden, has chicken and her horse to feed and take care.
A day the twins organize to go to the market to sell the produce and..
Plain, realistic, lovely story.

I really loved reading Twice As Nice Amish Romance Collection. The twins Elma and Thelma are reclaim their grandparents home and store, after a tragic accident. They are also older and feel romance may have passed them by. This story is easy to read and wholesome.

Twice as Nice Amish Romance Collection consists of two stories written by Wanda E. and Jean Brunstetter.
The Lopsided Christmas Cake: In this story we meet Amish twins Thelma and Elma Hochstetter who have inherited their grandparents store and home and move out on their own to fixe up both and re-open the store. When they enter a cake in a charity cooking event it becomes a bit lopsided but will it lead to romance for one or both of the ladies?
The Farmer’s Market Mishap: We find Elma with a booth selling her produce. When a young man causes a spill of her fruits will the mishap lead to a friendship and maybe more?
Both stories are very well written. I had read The Farmer’s Market Mishap before but couldn’t remember enough of it so had to read it again. The characters are so realistic and I wanted to jump in and help them as the girls struggled to adapt to life in their own home after living with their parents. Both of these stories are well worth the read and didn’t want to put the book down until I finished it. I give this book 5 of 5 stars.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book is comprised of two previously released stories. Both stories follow twin sisters on their journey of self discovery and love. A must read for any Amish fiction fan.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher and netgalley in return for my honest opinion.

I loved both of the stories in this book. They are well written sweet Amish romances that hold your attention. This book was a joy to read and I highly recommend it. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I do not read many romance books because I want good, clean, warm your heart romances with no cursing. The Brunstetter ladies are my favorite authors for romance and/ or cookbooks. The same quality of writing is displayed in both genres. I don't even read the book descriptions, I just buy them.

I liked the fact that both stories are about the twin sisters, Elma and Thelma, so there's continuity in the characters and story line. I watch a lot of cooking shows, so I particularly enjoyed the cooking demonstration with the lopsided cake and the humorous mishaps.
Thelma and Joseph's attraction was almost instantaneous. It was a little too fast for me but it was sweet. Elma's temperament or personality seemed to change a little from the first part to the second. Maybe she mellowed with the passage of time a bit.

I wish I knew what year or decade the story was set in. I sometimes felt like I was reading something set in a much older era, but then there'd be a reference to something quite modern. I know some of my confusion probably came from not catching when something was referring to an Englisher (although there weren't many of them in the story) instead of an Amish person. For example, there'd be talk of a phone box and then a cell phone. It just jarred me once in a while.

This book has a slower pace. It takes a while to get to the point where the twins meet the men. It gives you more time to get to know the individual characters but as someone who reads a lot of fast-paced books, I sometimes wanted it to move a little quicker. I like when there's more time for relationship interactions and development.

Thank you to Barbour Books for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

An enjoyable book to read. It is a story of friendship and loyalty. I love to read about the hard working faithful amish people. These authors teamed up together and created this 2 story, they flowed together very well.

This is the first of these authors I am reading. Beautiful!!!

Two wonderful stories of love found! I like how the authors wove beautiful tales of love and family together. I liked how the Amish life was illustrated in the stories. The characters were very relatable and the story enjoyable. I loved how Thelma and Elma found love through very unlikely situation. I admired their courage to step out in faith into the unknown and to tackle hard things. The bond between them was beautiful. I loved how they choose to wait on God for their choices of life partners.

An overall good book.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.

Identical twin sisters.featured in two books make up this romance collection. Although the sisters looked alike, theyhave very different personalities. I found Elma to be annoying with her OCD tendencies. Thelma is very engaging, bubbly and outgoing who went along with Elma so not to cause problems. I loved that the baking show added humor to the story. The stories were a little slow at times and predictable but enjoyable.

Another lovely story by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter! Twice As Nice Amish Romace Collection is a 2 for 1 book.
Both stories are about identical twin sisters named Elma and Thelma. They get an unexpected inheritance and struggle with the expenses, and the work load.
The story is a little slow because of dialogue, but with it being 2 sisters and we have no idea who they are or what they are about we need to learn about them.
They meet 2 men who are best friends and start courting them. I won't give away any spoilers, but both women are over marrying age and had given up hope of a husband and children, but both ache for it. Especially Thelma.
Learning about the twins and their quirks fascinated me. Twins run in my family, I have twin cousins and twin niece and nephew. I love watching them and talking to them and seeing the differences and similarities. In this book, Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter did a fabulous job of showing the similarities and difference between these twins.
I enjoyed reading this book, I laughed with them, cried with them and felt the ache to hold your own child in your arms with them. It is very easy to get involved with the emotions of this book. I love reading books by Wanda E. Brunstetter and I've read a couple including Jean Brunstetter. Wanda E. Brunstetter is one of my favorite authors and she didn't disappoint in these books about Elma and Thelma.
I would recommend this book to everyone!
I received a free e-book copy from Netgalley.com and was asked to give my honest opinion of this book. I was not paid to give a positive review.

This pair of stories about Twin sisters was beautifully written. The change in perspective from various characters gave a complete view of the story. Elma and Thelma were fantastically written and grew through the course of the stories. I learned to love them and all of their supporting characters as I learned more about the Amish culture. The supportive nature of these communities is clear in this book. I hope to read more stories by these authors in the future. The characters and the story were compelling and I thoroughly enjoyed my reading of these stories.

I received an eARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Wanda Brunstetter never disappoints with her Amish Romance. Here Wanda and Jean put together two previously published books into a Duet. I’ve read many of Wandas books but not these. So I was excited to read them. I always like to read series in a row and this made it very easy as I didn’t even need to get a new book.

Elma and Thelma are identical twins in their 30s. They vowed when they were younger to only marry if the other had someone. Of course later in life one finds a suitor and it causes some concern. The second book is the follow up for the other sister.

Thanks Wanda and Jean Brunstetter, netgalley and Barbour publishing for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

A very well written collection of Amish romance stories. I enjoyed each selection. I highly recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

Will Ben move? Will Emma leave her sister? Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read and review this book.

This book is basically two books in one written by Jean & Wanda Brunstetter. I have read many, many books by Wanda & love them all.

In the first book, Elma & Thelma Hochstetler are Amish twin sisters who inherit a home and a store in Indiana from their grandparents when they are killed in a buggy accident. They are 32 years old and both single when they move to Indiana. When they first arrive there, Thelma decides to enter them into a cooking contest using their grandmother's cake recipe. As part of the contest, they have to bake the cake in front of the audience. Because of their nervousness, the cake comes out lopsided. Their product is then auctioned off to the highest bidder. Joseph had seen Thelma around town & was somewhat enamored with her so he outbid everyone else to win the opportunity to meet Thelma. From there they begin to have dinner & get together whenever possible..along with Joseph's friend & Elma, Thelma's twin.

In the second book, Elma is still single & still living in their grandparent's house & running the store. Thelma is married & pregnant but she & Joseph live just across the road from Elma so they help out whenever they can. Thelma is still trying to fix Elma up with Joseph's friend but Elma has no interest in him. In the meantime, she meets Ben Wagler at a farmer's market but he lives quite aways away. She is not sure she wants to be involved in a long-distance relationship but Ben makes the effort to come see her whenever possible.

Thank you to the publisher, Barbour Books & Net Galley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion! Great book(s)...I definitely recommend them!
