The Amish Teacher's Wish by Tracey J. Lyons
With the school damaged during a storm, teacher Sadie Fischer needs Levi Byler’s help repairing it. Levi has one condition—he won’t become a part of her search for a husband. He’s been hurt before, and love and marriage aren’t in his plans. But Sadie might just be the perfect woman to mend his heart…and convince him forever isn’t just for fairy tales.

Marta Perry is a Pennsylvania-based author of over 35 novels, many of them inspirational romances.

Marta and her husband live in a centuries-old farmhouse in a quiet central Pennsylvania valley. They have three grown children and six beautiful grandchildren, and when she's not busy writing her next book, she's usually trying to keep up with her gardening, baking for church events, or visiting those beautiful grandkids.
I had previously read A Secret Amish Crush and enjoyed reading again.
I really enjoyed reading this especially the lighthearted moments when Simon wasn’t being a grouchy bear, but it was fun watching him grow and learn to trust his heart. Lydia was a joy to read and her kindness and acceptance of others was heartwarming, especially how she was able to get Becky to open up. A delightful story with characters you feel are family. Great entertainment. I won a copy of this book. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required. The Amish Teacher’s Wish was such a fun lighthearted read that I really enjoyed. Sadie was funny and spunky and I loved how she had a mind of her own. I felt like shaking Levi at times and telling him to wake up and see what is right in front of him. An all around enjoyable read.
