The Teacher's Bride Book Review

I got a book at the library and then went searching to see if there were others in the series.  I found that it was a little confusing because it says 2 books some places and 4 books other places.  These books were for sure just one book between these covers so I was confused.  The Teacher's Bride (An Amish Brides of Birch Creek Novel) by Kathleen Fuller was the first book in the series.  However, the series was after the other series Amish of Birch Creek (which I can only assume doesn't have brides).  I was excited to get to read this series and might even go back and check out the other series as well.

     A fun and heartwarming Amish rom-com where opposites really do attract.  If there is one thing Christian Ropp will not allow in his classroom—or his life—it’s chaos. So why is he drawn to Ruby Glick, a woman who seems to bring mayhem wherever she goes?  Christian Ropp moves to Birch Creek to accept a teaching position in the rapidly growing Amish community. He’s determined to put the rambunctious school in order as well as check another task off his list: finding a wife. Of course, that would be much easier if women were like textbooks, straightforward and logical.  When an accident puts Christian out of commission, a new community member named Ruby Glick takes over his classroom. But Ruby’s exuberant teaching style clashes with Christian's careful methods and he worries his students will never be the same.  With a track record of catastrophe, Ruby always feels too clumsy, too distracted, too ... much. Desperate for a chance to prove that she can do more than make mistakes in her life, she throws herself into her new teaching position. But when Christian can’t seem to stay out of her way, she finds herself slipping into old, chaotic tendencies.
What she doesn’t anticipate is that Christian's heart is slowly catching up with his mind—and she, too, must decide whether to follow logic or love.

I thought it was a good book with a lot of information about the new town and the new people in the series without getting too far off track of the main characters.  Christian Ropp was the town teacher who was very strict in his class and his specific way of speaking that put many people off.  Ruby Glick comes to town to visit her brother with the intention of staying.  However, they both find that they are looking for a spouse.  Christian gets tongue tied whenever a women is around that he is interested in and Ruby makes clumsy mistakes so they decide to work together to help each other.  Their agreement grows to so much more and they become friends.  Christian has a problem and ends up not being able to teach while he is recovering so Ruby takes over.  There is no end to the funny things that happen but I don't want to ruin the book so you have to pick it up for yourself and find out.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did and I can't wait to find out who is featured in the new book on my reading pile soon!
