The Teacher's Bride

GIVEAWAY
FULLER, KATHLEEN
THE TEACHER'S BRIDE

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 brings mayhem wherever he 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: find a wife. Of course, that would be 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:

A funny and tender and awkward romance guaranteed to make you squirm and blush and giggle. Christian's linear thinking tendencies lend to some hearty guffaw moments as he bumbles his way through various social situations. But then he's kindhearted and can be unexpectedly empathetic at times. Ruby is all wild impulses and outgoing enthusiasm that often leaves her in hot water. He's pragmatic. She's idealistic. And yet they become unlikely allies and then friends and then....well, it's complicated!

Fuller brings her readers back to Birch Creek, Ohio in this brand new series -- Amish Brides of Birch Creek. I've enjoyed books from the previous series -- Amish Letters of Birch Creek and Amish of Birch Creek -- so it's going to be fun spotting familiar characters as well as getting to know new ones in these books.

    2. I wonder if that's what should be written on our gravestones? lol And should we be buried with our TBR piles since we'll finally be able to read without interruptions? We might just reach the bottom of the piles. (yes, this is weird -- don't mind me.) Good luck, Trixi!
