Due to personal reasons I have altered the genres I am reviewing and I will not be finishing this book. I'm sure it is an enjoyable read however it is not for me.

A pretty okay read start to what I hope will be a good series. I hope we get to see what happens to these characters in the next installment.

The two sets of identical twins meet and confusion reigns.

Darla King is the more impulsive of the twins, while her sister, Amanda likes to play it safe. Darla sees an advertisement for mail-order brides to a newer Amish settlement, having never been in a relationship before she jumps at the chance to spread her wings. Amanda agrees to go with Darla, but only to watch out for her and make sure that she stays out of trouble.

Amish twins Zeke and Zeb Bontrager are struggling to make ends meet with their shared horse farm, neither of them has time for romance. Zeke's financial struggles and poor business choices threaten to steal both he and his brother's dream.

While Darla has her heart set on marrying Zeke, and Zeke has his heart set on not getting entangled, will this be a recipe for love or disaster?

This was a enjoyable read that was a great start to the series, as it introduces characters that we might see in the future, and it has a fun premise. A sweet Amish romance that will bring a smile to your face.


I received a free copy from NetGalley. No monetary exchange was made. Only an honest review was asked, even if it was a negative one.

A romance between two sets of twins is a fun story, and thankfully there was no assuming each other's identities as a plot device ;) The characters are so well fleshed-out, it was easy to get to know them quickly and understand their personalities, vulnerabilities and strengths. It's interesting to see the similarities between Zeb and Amanda as the responsible siblings, and their struggle with resenting their twin, yet loving and supporting them as well. A new business, a new town, a new relationship, a new friendship- it all weaves together while in the background, one set of parents tries to support, while the other set discourages. Since the story is divided equally between all four twins, I felt like my interest was as well- I believe I prefer one main couple to focus on, with the others as a subplot. Overall I love this author's writing style that brings depth and emotion to a sweet story.

This is an Amish Fiction/Clean Romance, and this is the first book in the Amish Mail-Order Bride series. The characters grow on me, but I did not love them from the beginning. The storyline was good, but it also took me awhile to get into the storyline. I did enjoyed the ending, and I have a lot of hope for the second book in this series. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Zondervan) or author (Kathleen Fuller) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

A Double Dose of Love by Kathleen Fuller is the first An Amish Mail Order Bride Novel. I like how this new series ties into An Amish Brides of Birch Creek series. I thought A Double Dose of Love was well-written with realistic characters. The book moves along at a steady pace and I enjoyed the humor. Darla King happens to see an ad for mail order brides for Birch Creek while unwrapping a punch bowl set that was sent to her mother. She believes God is directing her to go to Birch Creek where she will find a husband. Nothing is going to stop Darla from achieving her goal. The biddable Darla disappears before her twin sister’s eyes. I liked seeing Darla blossom in Birch Creek. She was finally getting an opportunity to stretch her wings and fly on her own (without her parent’s interfering). I am glad that the author took us back to Birch Creek where Delilah Stoll and Cevilla Thompson reside. Those are two humorous women. I like a book that makes me laugh and A Double Dose of Love certainly does that. There is a delightful meet cute moment for Zeb and Amanda. This is a sweet and amusing romantic Amish tale. A Double Dose of Love is a droll Amish story with horse hijinks, meddlesome matchmakers, parent problems, water worries, and twin troubles.

An Unexpected Twist

I've always enjoyed Kathleen Fuller's books, so when I found out that she had a new series, I couldn't wait to read it. A Double Dose of Love was pure enjoyment. After reading the synopsis, I really thought I had the plot pretty well figured out. However, the author threw in an unexpected twist that made the story even more enjoyable. Great story!

I was excited to find out that Kathleen Fuller had a new series, Amish Mail-Order Bride, and could not wait to get my hands on book one, A Double Dose of Love. I was not disappointed. It was so good and get five stars from me.

This was a fun start to a new series! It was filled with good things: family, faith, relationships, love and new outsets. Fans of Amish fiction will love this.
Many thanks to Zondervan and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Such a fun book with two sets of twins. Getting to know them was so much fun, I hope there is a sequel.

Come back to Birch Creek in A Double Dose of Love by Kathleen Fuller. This time, learn more about Zeb and Zeke, the Bontrager twins. The two of them have bought an old farm and are trying to get it running smoothly so they can train and sell horses. However, Zeke hasn't been completely honest with his twin as far as his finances go. And Zeb is feeling overwhelmed at the amount of work, especially when Zeke keeps leaving most of the work to him. Then Darla and Amanda, twins from Walnut Creek, show up in town. Darla saw an ad for Birch Creek, saying that the men were looking for brides. Getting excited, Darla makes plans to head that way; her twin sister Amanda follows, though only because she feels like she should protect Darla. When the twin girls meet the twin guys, there is a lot of confusion, excitement, heartache, and fun. While Darla is convinced that God has a plan for her and Zeke, Amanda is attracted to Zeb, but afraid of her feelings. Add in some fun with Birch Creek's matchmakers, and you never know what will happen. As always, I enjoyed heading back to visit with the Birch Creek residents. I love when you can revisit a series and feel like you never left. Great story, with a good message about love and family and responsibility. Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book. #ADoubleDoseofLove #KathleenFuller #Bookstagram #all_the_pages

What a wonderful new addition to the Amish genre.....Mail Order Brides!!! Who'd a thought??!! WELL....that's exactly what twin sisters, Amanda and Darla King, decided to do when following through with a newspaper advertisement. Well, it was more that Darla was gung ho and Amanda was along to keep Darla in line and hopefully realize that they should go home as soon as possible. Guess what???.....Darla found the man of her dreams and was sure that God had put him in her life.

Amanda did not share her enthusiasm .....nor, did the "man of her dreams"!!! Zeke and Zeb Brontrager, were twin brothers who had their hands full, with the life they were struggling to live. A spirited horse, that needed trained, a farm that was in debt and only one of the brothers knew this....and more than they were able to see their way clear. BUT....Darla had her sights set on Zeke and hoped that Amanda and Zeb would follow suit.

Oh, the best laid plans....you will find the twists, turns and outcomes to be fun , entertaining and food for thought. Some things work and some things don't....secrets find a way of getting twisted and even the most hardened bachelor may find his heart doing flips.

I have enjoyed Kathleen Fuller's novels for years. This one does not disappoint. So, sit in your comfy chair, light a candle, grab your snuggly blanket, shut off the news and escape to the village of Birch Creek.....you won't be sorry!!

I was excited to read this book since I enjoy mail order bride stories. A double dose of love was such a good book. You have two twins who are really close. Each looking for something different in their life. Even though I expected the ending, I still enjoyed reading up to it.

A light-hearted Amish romance that follows two sets of twins as they take new chances and find love.

This is a quick fun read, upbeat with quirky characters. Darla King is the more impulsive of the twins, while her sister, Amanda likes to play it safe. Darla sees an advertisement for mail-order brides to a newer Amish settlement, having never been in a relationship before she jumps at the chance to spread her wings. Amanda agrees to go with Darla, but only to watch out for her and make sure that she stays out of trouble.

Amish twins Zeke and Zeb Bontrager are struggling to make ends meet with their shared horse farm, neither of them has time for romance. Zeke's financial struggles and poor business choices threaten to steal both he and his brother's dream.

I enjoyed this quick, lighter read, it is fun and upbeat. I liked that Amanda and Zeb were more more reasonable and level-headed, which allowed me to relate to them more, as sometimes Darla was just too much for me. The members of the Birch Creek community are welcoming and kind, and I liked how the women of the area especially were welcoming to both Amanda and Darla.

This was a enjoyable read that is a great start to the series as it introduces characters that we might see in the future and it has a fun premise. A sweet Amish romance that will bring a smile to your face.

I really enjoyed reading about the 2 sets of twins meeting each other. I enjoy reading about how identical twins can be so different from each other even though they look alike. This story had many twists and turns and I like that they think they are going there as mail order brides. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I received a copy of this book from edelweiss for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

I adore this story! I loved the story line about the mail order brides. I loved how it ended. I always get sucked in to Kathleen's fuller stories. I did received this book from netgalley I am very late handing in my review I am sorry for that. I love the twin story that I don't hear of alot.

A Double Dose of Love is the first book in a new series by Kathleen Fuller featuring Amish Mail Order Brides.
I really enjoyed this book that has not one but two sets of twins . The characters are well developed and the story flowed well. I loved, loved, loved it and can't wait to read the next installment. I recommend this book to any fan of good, clean romance.

A Double Dose of Love is a sweet Amish romance that tells the stories of two different, yet somewhat similar, sets of twins.

Zeb and Zeke Bontrager recently purchased a farm together with dreams of training horses and turning the rundown property into something special. Living in a community mostly free of single women, romance is the farthest thing from either of their minds.

Waitress Darla King, on the other hand, is desperate to find love. When she sees a newspaper ad proclaiming the need for wives in Birch Creek, she knows what she has to do. But, will she be able to do it alone? Or will her jaded and always-watchful sister, Amanda, end up tagging along? What are the chances both sisters will find love in this unexpected place?

The author did a fantastic job of making the characters come to life. I found myself shaking my head at Darla's naivety and Zeke's lack of responsibility while relating to Zeb and Amanda's struggle to keep their siblings in line. I did struggle to get into the story in the first few chapters but loved the majority of the book.

If you love a good sweet Amish romance, you'll want to grab A Double Dose of Love.

This first book in author Kathleen Fuller’s new series, An Amish Mail Order Bride, left me eager for book two. It was fun to “watch” two sets of twins work through not falling for each other.

The main characters in this story are appealing and true to life. I did get frustrated as in each twin set, one tried to protect their twin from life. I may have hollered, “let them grow up!” a few times. But that of course was a part of the story line. I felt that way towards Darla’s parents, too. Talk about helicopter parents.

While I knew how the story would end, the journey was enjoyable as I got to know both twin sets, watching them grow and mature into responsible young adults who took ownership of their mistakes and then repaired them. If you enjoy Amish fiction then I think you’ll enjoy A Double Dose of Love.

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.

A Double Dose of Love, by Kathleen Fuller, is book one in An Amish Mail-Order Bride Novel. While unpacking a box, Darla finds a newspaper with an add for mail order brides to go to Birch Creek. As she sets her sites on going, her twin sister, Amanda, and parents join forces to allow her twin to go with to convince her to return home.Zeb and Zeke are twin brothers who have purchased a farm. Zeb is left to handle the farm while Zeke spends his time elsewhere, especially at a local restaurant, where Darla gets a job as soon as arriving in town.
This is a nice easy to read story with strong characters. The writing is clear and descriptive. I enjoyed seeing the differences between the siblings. Amanda has always been expected to look after Darla who had issues after being born and is impulsive. She feel like her parents only care about Darla. Darla resents that her parents hold her back. Zeb is the responsible twin who is taking on so many responsibilities while Zeke is the one who avoids responsibilities and hides things from Zeb. I especially enjoyed the parts where the parents realize how they have treated their children and explain it to the children.
