Good read, average Amish story, maybe a bit above average. Male comes to midwife with baby left by his sister, she Amish & all that means, he not, and basic MCP (in a nice way). Of course she wins him over & love conquers all, but still. Enough twists & turns to make it interesting. ( )

4 stars

This is book three of the Lancaster Courtship. It can stand alone. It is a good clean Amish romance.
Cute baby, fun and trouble making goats.

Anne Stoltzfus is a Amish Midwife. She also grows vegetables and sells them at her vegetables stand. She loves babies. Hates her neighbors goats that keep getting out of their yard and into her gardens.

Joseph Lapp is a Amish goat farmer. He is a loner. Goes to church, helps where he can but does not socialize.

Leah a three month old baby that was dropped off one evening by her mother to her Uncle Joseph.
Leah is a crying baby at first because she is sick.

I like how the Amish came together to help with the need of Joseph of having a baby all of a sudden.

One scene that gave me a chuckle was a little five year old girl looking into the Midwife's bag to see if she had a extra baby girl in their to replace her baby boy if possible.

I smiled a lot while reading this book. Made me want to try some of the produce that Anne sold.

I will read more of Patricia Davids books in the future.

I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Harlequin. In return I agreed to give a honest review of The Amish Midwife. ( )

The Amish Midwife by Patricia Davids is the third book in the Lancaster Courtship series, the first book The Amish Bride by Emma Miller, and the second The Amish Mother by Rebecca Kertz, and they all tie in together, with references to other characters that we have come to know.
A confirmed Amish bachelor farming with goats, Joseph Lapp, lives next door to Midwife and roadside vegetable stand farmer, Annie Stoltzfus. The book opening with a tangle of wills when Joseph’s goat gets into Annie’s garden patch, and watch for Annie hitting Joseph with a tomato! Got your interest? That is just a hint as to what is to come in this fast page-turning read, and when you think you know what is going to happen, guess what, wrong, well maybe not about all of it. Get ready for a story that will linger with you, and make you want more!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Love Inspired, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
