But that's not why you came here, is it? You want to know more about Christina.
Christina—just Christina—has no beginning, since she was found in a strange vessel looking like a giant meteorite. She was raised in a small farmhouse in Kansas by Jonathan and Martha Kent, where, once she became a young lady she was swept up in a giant cyclone and carried off to a magical place called Oz. She spent a considerable amount of time unconscious and running from flying monkeys and wicked witches while recovering from a head injury. She eventually woke, but not before dancing on a golden brick road in ruby red shoes with her friends Lion, Scarecrow and Tinman, and discovering that there really is no place like home.
She began penning tales on a steam train shortly after it was held up by Jesse James at her favorite theme park in Kansas City. However, she spent twenty years earning a doctorate in domestication and life before she traveled to New York and applied for a position at the Daily Planet. Of course, domestication skills and big dreams did not qualify her for the job, so she sought out smaller venues for her muse.
And if you believe all of that she has beachfront property on the moon she'll give you for the right price.

I absolutely adored this story! Right from the start, with Aunt Esther matchmaking, I knew this romance would be something special.
Malachi already has so much on his plate watching baby Jeb, running his business, and caring for Aunt Esther. The last thing he wants is someone else depending on him. His biggest fear is failure, and he is determined never to marry, never to risk becoming like the other men in his family. But when Aunt Esther’s meddling brings April to town, all his plans fall apart. What starts as him rejecting her plans...turns into April staying to help with Jeb and care for his aunt. It is the perfect arrangement, if only she would give up her ideas for his store and if he could ignore his growing feelings for her!
April has no plans to marry again. Independence is all she wants for herself and her baby on the way. But if she ever did change her mind, Malachi would be perfect. Too bad neither of them wants a future together… or do they?
These two were the sweetest. I feel like I grow so much reading stories with godly, kind, selfless characters who give everything to others. Even in their brokenness, they find peace. This book had sadness and healing, but also that reminder that joy comes in the morning. The chemistry between them was off the charts, and their love for Esther and Jeb was the glue that kept drawing them closer together.
I gave this 4.5 rounded to a 5!

HIS AMISH MARRIAGE OFFER by Christina Rich is the fabulous, heart-tugging story of Malachi Stoltzfus and April Beiler. One is trying to make peace with the past and move forward and the other is letting the past dictate their future. Could peace and answers be as close as helping each other!
With a cheating, drunkard father who left the Amish and his family and a mentally ill mother who committed suicide, Malachi, at 32 and fearful of history repeating itself, is still a bachelor. He refuses to saddle someone with his past. Lovingly raising his nephew, after his brother disappearance, with Aunt Esther’s memory spells becoming more frequent and an ever-increasing work load, he knows he needs help. Shocked when his deceased cousin’s pregnant wife showed up (at Aunt Esther’s invitation), maybe she’s an answer to a prayer as a nanny for Jeb and a companion for Esther – a purely business arrangement. A wife is the last thing he needs!
April has seen her share of hardship and sorrow. She’d once entered into a loveless marriage. While her affections for her husband increased, his didn’t. Often verbally abusive, she found that she could do nothing right. The marriage did bless her with a daughter. A horrific accident took the life of both husband and daughter leaving her at the mercy of the community who had often looked down on them for her husband’s actions. Feeling they begrudged their responsibility of seeing to her needs, she was happy when her husband’s great aunt contacted her about moving to Garnett, Kansas with prospects of opening her own store. The chance of becoming independent, able to support herself and her child, and for once in her life being able to make her own choices had her saying YES. She doesn’t need a husband!
Will Aunt Ester’s matchmaking scheme be successful or a big flop? Does observing Malachi and seeing that a man doesn’t have to be unemotional, selfish and cruel, but rather lovingly devoted to his nephew and his aunt, able to control his temper and willing to give her suggestions consideration have April’s staunch stand on never marrying again changing? Can Malachi seeing April with Jeb as if he was her own child, give him pause to really look at her with new eyes? Who is the mysterious Amish man that April finds rifling through Malachi’s office?
HIS AMISH MARRIAGE OFFER is a magnificently written story that immediately pulls you in, keeps you turning pages, falling in love with the characters and hoping for a happily-ever-after ending. Christina Rich gives us a story of forgiveness, acceptance, second chances, love, sweet growing romance, devotion, family, over-coming stereotypes and emotional roadblocks all while wrapping it in a wonderful thread of faith. HIS AMISH MARRIAGE OFFER is absolutely a FIVE STAR book that I highly recommend to everyone!
I received an ARC of this book with no requirement or expectations of a review. All opinions are completely my own.

His Amish Marriage Offer by Christina Rich
Can two lonely hearts
make the perfect pair?
When Malachi Stoltzfus’s elderly aunt promises newcomer April Beiler his empty storefront for her business, he knows what the well-meaning matchmaker is up to. But still grieving the loss of her husband and child, April is determined to stay as single as he is. When Malachi suddenly needs help caring for his orphaned nephew and ailing aunt, April offers up a compromise: She’ll care for his family in exchange for the space. But the more time they spend working together, the more their hearts start to soften. Will April’s resolve to avoid romance be shaken when Malachi proposes a life together…as husband and wife?
My favorite quote is
He flashed a smile before pecking her on the cheek. “Gut morning, Aunt Esther. How are you this fine day?”
“Peachy. Absolutely peachy. I’d be a lot better if we settled you into a fine marriage. Married, you know. You need a wife, and that little boy needs a mamm.”
Malachi penciled in a note on next Tuesday’s orange block. His calendar was filling up quickly, leaving him little time for his nephew. He gazed down into Jeb’s wide brown eyes.
I recommend this book.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Christina Rich is a new to me author and I was able to get an ARC copy of His Marriage Offer.
One thing that I look for with an Amish romance is does the Author have a unique storyline or something different that your typical buggy ride into the sunset.
Christina did an excellent job showing that Amish are people as well. People who have faults. Malachi Stoltzfus comes from a family affected by suicide and a father who drank and cheated. April Beiler had an emotionally abusive husband. You end up feeling for these characters and really rooting for them as the story progresses.
Add in a very meddlesome aunt who brings in much needed comic relief to counter some of the heavier emotions, an adorable toddler, and some other great characters this is a really great read.
I give this a solid 4 stars. I think it is a great book and I will be picking up more of Christina's books. Definitely grab a copy.
Note-I was offered a free ARC but under no obligation to leave a review and the thoughts are my own.

This was a really good read. Wonderful characters telling a sweet but complicated story. Malachi's great aunt is playing matchmaker when she invites her nephew's recently widowed wife who is pregnant to come and care for Malachi's baby Jeb that he now has custody of. The trouble is, April doesn't want to marry because of her bad marriage to David and Malachi doesn't want to marry because of the way his dad mistreated his mother and his mother's subsequent suicide that haunts him. Will these two be able to let go of their pasts and their fears and build a life together? You'll have to read the book and find out. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this story very much! HIS AMISH MARRIAGE OFFER by Christina Rich is incredibly sweet and heartwarming.
When Malachi's matchmaking aunt promises his storefront to April, neither of them is looking for romance. Malachi is focused on his responsibilities, while April is grieving the loss of her husband and child. But when Malachi needs help caring for his orphaned nephew and ailing aunt, April offers a practical solution: she'll care for his family in exchange for the business space.
As they work together, their guarded hearts begin to soften. The journey from a practical arrangement to something deeper is a beautiful one. This story made my reading heart happy. I’m giving HIS AMISH MARRIAGE OFFER the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

Now Aunt Esther has invited April Beiler, the impoverished pregnant young widow of his cousin, to set up shop in his late mother’s storefront. This stirs up painful memories as well as adds issues to the struggles of his present life. The unusual Amish story offers a delightful read and plenty to think about. Aunt Esther keeps pushing the two together, determined they would make a fine match. Even if they’d consider such an arrangement, could love grow between them? The novel is well written and plotted with fun characters who with touch your heart. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.

This was my first book by Christina Rich but it won't be my last. I loved this book. It was a clean and wholesome story. The characters of April and Malachi were very likeable. Aunt Esther was very determined to have these two marry each other but they both resisted her every step of the way until they couldn't imagine life without each other. The book ended with a Happily Ever After and I was very happy too.

Another great book by the amazing author Christina Rich. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming story that tugged on my heartstrings.

Loved It
I loved His Amish Marriage Offer! Watching April and Malachi navigate their reservations, fears, and Aunt Esther's matchmaking attempts was awesome, and the way the author seamlessly blended in the issue of dementia without taking away from the main story really moved me. The story is a wonderful blend of romance, faith, past hurts, and recovery, making it a deep and heart-warming must-read.

Loved this story! Nothing seems to be going right for Malachi. An Aunt with the onset of dementia and the responsibility for his brother's baby; all while running his own construction company. Can he move past his feelings of unworthiness stemming from his family's mistakes?

Review of advance copy received from Author
I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author to read and review and I could not put the book down from the moment I first started reading it. This is April and Malachi's story and I enjoyed getting to know them as well as little Jeb and Aunt Esther. Both April and Malachi dealt with grief, tragedy and sadness in their lifetime and it made them both reluctant to get married again and fall in love with anyone. April takes over caring for Aunt Esther and little Jeb and falls in love with the little family though it takes her time to realize and admit it to herself. Malachi's struggles are just as hard. I give this book a 5 star rating.
Review of advance copy received from Author
His Amish Marriage Offer by Christina Rich. This love inspired Christian second chance romance will warm your heart. Malachi is a man with a past he thinks no one could overlook. April is a pregnant widow that was married to his cousin and Esther is his matchmaking Aunt. Genesis 2:18, It is not good that the man should be alone;I will make him a help mate for him. Wonderful characters that bring love, forgiveness and hope to the story. Thank you to Author Christina Rich for this Arc. This is my honest review. Releases Feb 24. 2026
