There's nothing Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin’s irrepressible eighty-somethings Anna and Felty Helmuth like better than a challenge. And the chance to matchmake their feisty granddaughter is their most delightful task yet…

Elsie Stutzman’s plain-spoken ways got her in trouble once before, so she needs to make a good impression at her new teaching job. But she's not about to let disabled student Wally Sensenig work below his potential. And she definitely won’t put up with his hot-headed older brother sabotaging her efforts, no matter how handsome he is. . . 

Sam is nearly at the end of his rope caring for his ailing, widowed mother, working their farm, and raising his siblings. He'll admit Elsie’s ideas are bringing Wally out of his angry shell—but why does she have to be as stubborn as she is pretty? Yet as it turns out, Elsie has taught Sam something about himself as well. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make up for his mistakes—and win her heart forever.

My thoughts: A COURTSHIP ON HUCKLEBERRY HILL is the eight book in Ms. Beckstrand's popular series The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill but it easily stands alone. One can't help but love Anna and Feltie and even laugh at some of the questionable meals that Anna concocts. Sam worries that Elsie can't cook when she eats around him as if she's starving, but seriously, I think the hungriest person would have trouble swallowing some of Anna's creations. 

I love Ms. Beckstrand's sense of humor, she has to be the queen of Amish romantic comedy.  Seriously.  Even if you don't like Amish fiction, if you love romantic comedy then you will absolutely adore Jennifer Beckstrand's romantic comedies. If you do love Amish fiction and haven't read her books you seriously must. That's all. 

Sam is stubborn and has a temper and even though he has some wrong ideas he honestly wants to do the right thing and he is so adorable. Elsie is more outspoken than most Amish heroines but she is wise and even though she angered almost everyone she stood up for herself and her methods. 

I seriously enjoy reading Jennifer Beckstrand's books and if you haven't discovered her yet, do pick up a copy of A COURTSHIP ON HUCKLEBERRY HILL. You will want to go back and read the first seven in any order you can get them in. 

I bought a used copy of this book, but not from Amazon so I will not show up as a verified buyer. All opinions are my own and I was not required to write a review.

Anna and Felty will defnitely give readers some good laughs. I've enjoyed reading the Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series. I agree with you, Lollipops, Beckstrand is the queen of Amish comedy.
