I loved this series. Hazel comes to work for Isaac’s family business. Isaac is surprised that she is there because no one told him that she was going to start working there. Issac has a girlfriend who is eager to get married, but he’s not on board. Hazel has a secret but it concerns her father and now mentally ill mother. Happy ending for all.

My review today is on the novel The Amish Bachelor. This is book one on the Seven Amish Bachelors Series. I really enjoyed this book and I know you are going to really enjoy it too. This book is well written, heart warming, and full of faith.
Isaac Fuller comes into to work to find a girl in his office, sitting in his chair, at his desk, and tapping away at his computer. Totally confused the girl tells him she is the accountant and is trying to straighten out the mess the old accountant left. He was embarrassed to explain he was that accountant. He is shocked to hear his father had hired the girl. She is a beauty and reminds him of someone he met long ago. His girl friend isn't happy to hear about the new girl and is determined to find out more about the girl.
Hazel Bauer has taken a position at a new community to earn money to pay on her mother's medical bills. Her father had run off with and Englisher and her mother had had some kind of a breakdown. When Isaac's girlfriend tries to befriend her she is well aware she is only warning her off her property and to find out information about who she is. It was to bad because she really needs a friend.
A journey of two souls bound together by God but struggling to find their way through the obstacles thrown into their lives. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, give Him your heart and watch Him turn your life around.

Quick, but satisfying read.
I read this in one sitting. Can’t remember when is the last time that happened. This is a quaint story of love. The real kind, that not everyone finds in life. My first book by this author, but not the last. I thought it would be a good palette cleanser from my usual murder mysteries, and it was. Delightfully so.

I liked this book's storyline. This book's storyline was sad 😔. I liked the Christian ✝️ theme in this story. Isaac's character was okay. I loved ❤️ Hazel's character. I didn't Mary Lou. I liked the ending.

What a novel idea. Love from the perspective of an Amish Bachelor. Leave it to Samantha Price to add a unique twist to her books. This is a story about Isaac Fuller, the oldest of 7 brothers. Isaac is about to marry Mary Lou and take over the family business one day. His father has ideas of his own and employed Hazel to be the bookkeeper for the company. Isaac has been doing this job, along with many others and not too happy with a girl taking over his responsibilities. Isaac and Hazel manage a working relationship that grows into a friendship. I the back of Isaac's mind, he remembers Hazel from his childhood, but this can not be. Hazel has a secret and not ready to share it with anyone. Will Hazel and Isaac ever become more than business friends? What about Mary Lou. Read THE AMISH BACHELOR. Outstanding story, as we always expect from the wonderful author, Samantha Price. Starting Book 2 tonight.

For a book I planned to read and give a 1 star, this was better than I expected. It is a really easy read and can be done in basically one sitting. The author did a good job of introducing you to a few brothers to try to spark interest in the series. It was a free book on Amazon that I could see grabbing romance reader's readers attention and getting them to try the next one. This is definitely not my type of book but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Simple writing and not very deep but that is similar to the Amish.

Sweet story of Isaac and green-eyed Hazel, who takes his job and his heart. Hazels' mother is fragile due to an abusive husband that is finally out of the picture. Isaac's father runs the family business and doesn't tell Isaac he's hired someone for the books. How will they work together?

A good book
Nice story but there are sever factors that limited the number of stars. Appealing with certain characters and othersbeing absolutely clueless about them.

Good read!
Started out so-so, but then got very interesting enough that I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

My very short review.
This was an easy one day ( or night) read. Although I am not Amish, I respect their way of life and can learn from them. This book was no exception!

Nice for teenagers. Clean book. No real warmth between Isaac and the heroine. (forgot her name already!!) No real connection between the two of them.
September 24, 2020
Enjoyable
Fast read...only.three stars because this story echoes so many of the other Amish stories I have read. It became somewhat predictable. I prefer a little more depth.

A lovely Amish HEA
This thoughtful story by Price brings up issues not commonly found in Amish romance - faithfulness and desertion. Hazel must cope with the responsibilities of a mother who didn't cope with these issues. Luke is in love with her but circumstances seem insurmountable. Fortunately, the Amish community is based on loving relatives and friends. I found it interesting that there were so many reactions to these two issues but honesty and accountability are the least popular chose. Which way did Hazel and Luke choose?
I gave it 4 stars because it is well written, believable actions and dialogue, a good plot and ending and fits nicely in to great entertainment for teens and adults. I probably won't keep this on my kindle which would have rated it 5 stars. I really enjoyed it, so I hope you do too.

Amish Isaac Fuller is the oldest of seven boys and helps his dad run their joinery shop in PA. He's been seeing a local girl, Mary Lou for the past two years and knows everyone expects them to marry, but he's dithering. When his father unexpectedly hires Hazel Bauer from another area to be their bookkeeper, Mary Lou starts really pressuring Isaac to announce their engagement, but he's becoming more and more reluctant until he finally ends their relationship. Hazel has secrets of her own - her father repeatedly left her Amish mother for other women, finally making her lose her sanity. When Hazel has to go home after her mother attempts suicide, Isaac finally realizes how much he's fallen for her. They get their HEA eventually. Clean.

Choose Carefully
I enjoy reading Amish stories. This is the story of Isaac and Rachel. Although Isaac had dated Mary Lou for two years, and everyone expects them to marry, Isaac does not feel right. Now that his dad had hired Rachel to do the bookkeeping for the family business, Isaac has more than mixed feelings about getting married. When the health of Rachel's mother takes her back home, Isaac realizes his true feelings. Does Rachel have feeling for him? Would she be willing to live in his home and leave her mother? This is the first book in a series about seven Amish brothers.

Great read...great story, loved the character's. Great start to get ya wondering..kind of thought the ending would happen, but wasn't quite sure TILL the end.
Good knowledge of Amish rules & ways..a little more assertion of the Mama's role with her son(s). I liked that.
As with most Amish stories, a little cheesy..but one reason I enjoy them.
I'd recommend this to any Samantha Price fans. I don't think I've read one book she's written I didn't like. I don't believe in 5 stars..just me. But I'd give this 4 1/2.
