First Impressions
Huckleberry Hearts is the sixth installment in the "Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill" and this book I would say might just be my favorite of the series. The way that the story is built and the manner of spiritual healing that is showcased was beautiful and poignant. This book had my feelings all over the place and I never knew what emotion the author would be having me feeling here but it was epic and beautiful and seeing these two grow spiritually as individuals and grow together as a couple was sincere and relatable. I honestly found Huckleberry Hearts to be a story of such deep love and acceptance.

First Line
Anna Helmuth glanced up from her knitting long enough to study the top of Dr. Reynold's head.

Summary
Huckleberry Hearts begins with our delightful Anna and Felty Helmuth, who are determined to match their granddaughter who left the Amish faith and community and is returning for a few months. They want to see her matched with someone who will understand her struggles and be the partner she needs. So when Anna needs foot surgery, the young aspiring surgeon doctor is perfect but when they learn he struggles with God as a whole, they wonder how it will work. But as Cassie and Zach learn to get each other, they realize that this isn't the first time that they have met. They both struggle in different ways spiritually. Cassie knows that the Amish life isn't for her but does have a strong belief in God. Then we have Zach, who has struggled with his spiritual beliefs, is having to face up to his issues and learn to rely on his faith once again in ways that will push him and challenge him and the love that he bears for Cassie and the future he dreams of having with her...

What I Loved
This book held my heart so deeply. There was something about this one that captivated me. I just love a redemption story, but seeing our couple really build each other up both emotionally and spiritually was so poignant and its stories like this in why I love a sweet inspirational romance. And its so relatable as someone that is spiritually driven as a reader. I absolutely adored Cassie and Zach being together. Seeing them overcome their challenges and working together was epic. And the ways in which that they have to learn to grow and the challenges in which they need to overcome really captures your attention. I think what impressed me most was how emotionally connected I became to the story itself. I really fell so hard for this one here. It was interesting in the ways that the Amish themes were implemented and how these two lived in the community but were apart from it as well and would find their our journey and strength.

What I Struggled With
The only change I would really have is the heroine. I do wish that she would stand up to her mother and brother who constantly demean her and her choices. She really needed to stand up more firmly to them and if she wasn't going to not be attacking the hero who goes about to defend her.

Narration
CSE Cooney does just a wonderful job with these Amish romances and really brings it out in such a cozy endearing way. Loved how she narrated the story of Cassie and Zach.

Overall View
Huckleberry Hearts is a in depth story of capturing love, finding redemption for one self, and embracing the best parts of your faith to overcome challenges and give one strength in the disheartening of times. TRULY A SPIRITUAL GEM TO HOLD DEAR TO THE HEART!

Anna is back at her match-making best, and she has selected the perfect person for her granddaughter Cassie. Cassie has opted not to be baptized into the Amish faith, something her grandmother can accept, but not her brother Norman nor her mother. This creates much tension in the family, but not between Anna and Cassie. Thrown into the mix is Zach, Anna’s doctor and Cassie’s soon to be boyfriend, at least he will be if Anna gets her wish. There are serious moments in this installment, but there are some funny moments, too. All the books in this series are highly entertaining and well imagined and quite well written. ( )

Huckleberry Hearts by Jennifer Beckstrand is the sixth book in The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series. Anna and Felty Helmuth are up to their normal hijinks. Anna wants to set up her granddaughter, Cassie Coblenz. Anna has decided that Dr. Zach Reynolds is the perfect match. So Anna is having a black spot on her foot operated on (it turned out to be melanoma). Anna even knitted the doctor a scarf, beanie, and mittens as incentive (she does not make everyone mittens because they take longer to knit). Cassie is going to stay at Huckleberry Hill and help out while Anna recovers from her surgery (she has to stay off her feet). This will give Anna extra time to knit (and keep her out of the kitchen).

Cassie decided not to be baptized in the Amish faith. She has just graduated from the University of Chicago with a BA in Art History. Cassie is going to use the time at her grandparents to study for the GRE test (she wants to go to graduate school). Cassie’s mother is not happy with Cassie’s choice and neither is Cassie’s brother, Norman. They use every opportunity to tell her of their displeasure (they are bullies). Dr. Reynolds also attended the University of Chicago. He does not remember Cassie, but Cassie remembers him. This does not bode well for Anna’s matchmaking scheme especially since Cassie has severe trust issues. Zach has faith issues since the death of his father. But being around Cassie, Anna, and Felty will change Zach (hopefully). Will Zach be able to woo Cassie? Can they overcome their issues and have a future together? Anna and Felty have such a good track record. You will have to read Huckleberry Hearts to see if Anna and Felty make another successful match.

Huckleberry Hearts was my least favorite of the six books in the series. I found Cassie’s mother and brother very offense (and Cassie refuses to fight back or stand up for herself). Cassie just let herself be a doormat (very unattractive quality). This book is also the most religious out of all the books (a lot of scripture and theology). The writing is good (as always). Huckleberry Hearts is a light, airy, and easy to read novel for the most part. The ending is so sweet. Anna and Felty are such a loving, warm couple. They are why I read the books. I give Huckleberry Hearts 4 out of 5 stars. I cannot wait for the next book in this series (though, according to the author, we will have a wait) to see what Anna and Felty are up to next (Anna is going to learn to crochet).

I received a complimentary copy of Huckleberry Hearts from NetGalley and Kensington Books in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This was a wonderful Amish Romance. I laughed and cried during this story. I loved the grandparents Bing matchmakers. There were some ups and downs for Cassie and Zach. Cassie was born into the Amish faith and left to go to college before she wa baptized. She comes back to help her mammi after a foot surgery. This is when her mammi meets a young doctor(Zach) who she decides would be good for her granddaughter. I loved the story and Ll the characters. I received this ebook from Celebration Lit Bloggers for a fair and honest opinion. ( )

It is always nice to continue a series that you have fallen in love with. The beautiful writing of this series has been a nice relaxing time of getting to know the characters and their many lovely and sometimes quirky traits. What would it be like to have a grandmother who was determined to find you a mate? This book gives us a glimpse of one family that will find out what lengths a grandmother will go through to find happiness for her granddaughter. Let the games begin.

Cassie has been away from her old lifestyle as an Amish for a long time. She went away to pursue her dream of going to college and find a promising career. When she receives word that her grandmother, Anna, has a cancerous spot on her foot that will require surgery and care, Cassie comes home to take care of her. She doesn't know what she is in store for with her grandmother wanting to play matchmaker. Will Anna's plan work to bring true love to her granddaughter?

Zach is the handsome doctor that has been taking care of Cassie's grandmother. He has really made an impression on Anna and guess who she picks for Cassie to match her with ? I loved the part where Cassie and Zach had both attended the same college. Zach it seems had a reputation at the college thst was not well received by Cassie. She wanted nothing to do with him. That is such a minor detail, because Anna has decided they will make a perfect couple. After all, grandparents only want the best for their grandchildren and Anna believes she has found the perfect match for Cassie.

The book is filled with hope, twists that keep you guessing, faith and an unforgettable love between family. Will Cassie return to her Amish faith? Can Zach win Cassie's heart? I really enjoyed the story and the story that flowed smoothly and kept my interest till the very end. You are in for a treat as you read this story that will give you a sense of strong family and the desire to find happiness for those you love.
