The Baby Next Door by Vannetta Chapman is the 7th book in Indiana Amish Brides series. Each book can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed reading this entertaining Amish tale. I was drawn into this unique story right away, and the story held my attention until the end. The Baby Next Door is well-written with steady pacing. I liked the relatable characters and the lovable animals. There are some special and exotic animals. You could tell how much Adrian loved each one of them. I liked that this was different from other Amish stories. There are good life lessons in the book with the most important being to trust God because He knows what is best. Three of the themes In The Baby Next Door are family, faith, and forgiveness. I enjoyed the humor in the story. Grace’s determination to stop the tours led to some laughable situations. I appreciated how the epilogue that nicely wrapped up the tale. The Baby Next Door is a humorous and sweet Amish story. I look forward to reading Vannetta Chapman’s next entertaining book. ( )

I have read several of the books in this series, and this is Grace and Adrian's story, and little Nicole, and you are quickly pulled in.

I did love the surprises that happen near the end of this read, and how the book wrapped up.

I was surprised by Grace's attitude early on, but they did lead to some funny happenings. Also Adrian is a different kind of Amish farmer, an Exotic Animal Farmer, but he has a big heart for animals in need!

The star of this read is little Nicole, I wanted to go and hold her! She is a smart little one that will steal your heart.

I enjoyed my return visit to the Indiana Amish Community!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
