THE TEACHER'S BRIDE book review

The Teacher's Bride
(Amish Brides of Birch Creek #1)
by Kathleen Fuller

Book Description:
Beloved and bestselling author of Amish romance Kathleen Fuller reminds us that sometimes opposites really do attract. 

"A heartwarming story of unexpected romance woven with fun and engaging characters who come to life on every page."--Amy Clipston, bestselling author of A Seat by the Hearth 

If there is one thing Christian Ropp will not allow in his classroom—or his life—it is chaos. So why is he drawn to Ruby Glick, a woman who seems to bring mayhem wherever she goes?

Christian Ropp moves to Birch Creek to accept a teaching position in the rapidly growing Amish community. He’s determined to put the rambunctious school in order as well as check another task off his list: finding a wife. Of course, that would be much easier if women were like textbooks, straightforward and logical.

When an accident puts Christian out of commission, a new community member named Ruby Glick takes over his classroom. But Ruby’s exuberant teaching style clashes with Christian's careful methods and he worries his students will never be the same.

With a track record of catastrophe, Ruby always feels too clumsy, too distracted, too . . . much. Desperate for a chance to prove that she can do more than make mistakes in her life, she throws herself into her new teaching position. But when Christian can’t seem to stay out of her way, she finds herself slipping into old, chaotic tendencies.

What she doesn’t anticipate is that Christian's heart is slowly catching up with his mind—and she, too, must decide whether to follow logic or love. 

MY REVIEW:   
4 Stars:  4/5 stars ****
Teaching comes with many challenges.  I taught for many years in public schools and I find it hard to imagine having to teach all grades in a one-room setting.  Christian plans to put this school back into order, but Ruby takes over when he is injured and they find help in each other.  They are both seeking a spouse but just don't communicate well with the opposite sex.  Can they help each other find a spouse?  Or are they doomed to live alone?  
I highly recommend this book to those who like Amish fiction or a humorous romance.  This is a clean read and would be appropriate for teens as well as adults.
I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.  I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
