Publisher's summary

Known as "The Peanut Butter Brothers" for their Wisconsin family business, hardworking Andrew, Abraham, and Austin Petersheim have their plates too full for romance - until their little siblings decide to play matchmaker...

With their house full to bursting since Mammi and Dawdi moved back in, the Petersheim twins know the only way to get their bedroom back is to get their older brothers married off. But Abraham is so shy, he'll barely speak to girls. Still, they've noticed how he looks at Emma Wengerd at church. Emma is so talkative, Abraham's quiet ways wouldn't matter a bit. Soon, the boys have hatched a scheme that sends Abraham right to Emma's door - and her chicken coop...

Abraham doubts that pretty, popular Emma would be interested in him. Yet when he finds himself by her side, having to straighten out the twins' mischief - more than once - he can't help imagining a future with her. And the more time they spend together, the more Abraham realizes that perhaps no matter how many boys buzz around Emma, with faith, it's only the right one that counts.

A must light Amish read

This is a good easy light read. An Amish love story that is very simple without drama. You find yourself laughing and remembering how it was to be young and in love.

Another of Jennifer Beckstrand's Novels

I have enjoyed many of Jennifer Beckstrand's novels, and this is no exception. I love all of the characters, but in the Petersheim Brothers series, my favorite are the little twin brothers Alfie and Benjie. Their schemes for marrying off their older brothers are so creative. I also get a kick out of their dialogue between each other...so cute. I hope Beckstrand has an upcoming novel for Austin (if it's already published, I hope it is on Audible soon!).

Lovely

I absolutely love this series! It made me laugh and feel as though I was right in the book itself! I can't wait to read the next book in the series! Maybe Alfie and Benji will get their own book or series someday! That would be wonderful!

Delightfully sweet romance

I loved, loved this sweet Amish romance. It had the perfect mix of heartwarming love, real life issues, faith, and mild angst. It is a story full of deep emotions so expect to giggle, gasp, cry, cringe, and swoon while reading it. Abraham Petersheim is Amish and is proud to be a member of his community. His family farms and makes peanut butter. Abraham is very shy and rarely talks to girls but after his brother Andrew’s recent marriage he thinks he wants a loving relationship like they have. Unfortunately, Abraham is only interested in one woman, Emma Wengard. Emma is a social butterfly who all the Amish young people like. Abraham admires her from afar, sure that Emma never looks at him twice because he is boring. I have a soft spot for the people who are a bit uncomfortable in their skin because they don’t feel like they fit in or are worthy, like Abraham. So I love when they finally see their truth and they get swoon worthy HEAs. Abraham’s 9 year old twin brothers, Alfie and Benji, provide good natured comic relief as they try desperately with ever more crazy schemes with the help of their secret dog, Tintin, and Emma’s chickens, to get Abraham and Emma to fall in love. The chapters from the twin’s points of view were a unique twist and added quite a bit of humor to the story. Abraham and Emma experience a number of missteps and misunderstandings as the twins push them together. To get to their HEA, Abraham and Emma both need to do some baggage unpacking, truth telling, soul searching, inner voice finding, and lean more into their faith. This was a beautiful story of the pretty, popular, kind of selfish girl and the sweet, quiet, and kind unnoticed man. It is full of grace, love, and forgiveness with the beautiful backdrop of the Amish community’s faith and lifestyle. This is one of my favorite series.

Callie Beaulieu did a phenomenal job narrating the stories and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.
