ABOUT THE BOOK
This exciting new Amish romance is from Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Amish Baker and The Amish Marriage Bargain.
She’ll do anything to protect her bakery… no matter the cost to her heart.
Small-town, Amish baker Mary Brenneman is devastated when handsome Englischer Noah Miller opens up a bakery right across from hers. Now she must win a local baking contest just to stay in business. But somewhere along the way, Noah and Mary’s kitchen wars are quickly warming into something more…
Still mourning the death of his parents, Mary helps Noah search for the Amish grandparents he has never met. And when a crisis hits Mary’s bakery, Noah volunteers his assistance.
After Mary’s now ex-fiancé broke their engagement so he could go live in the Englisch world, she vows to stay away from men… especially Englisch men. Even though she likes Noah more each day, she keeps her distance.
With her heart packed with distrust, Noah hopes to soften her resolve and convince Mary of their undeniable love. But trouble brews at the baking contest when Mary thinks Noah has stolen her recipe. After the surprising result of the contest, Noah and Mary must face their feelings and decide what road God has set them upon.

MY REVIEW
It’s a battle of the bakeries in Marie E. Bast’s new The Amish Baker’s Rival. When Noah Miller opens a bakery near Mary Brenneman’s, the pressure to succeed is on—but of course, as the competition heats up, more than just her bakery proves to be at stake.
I enjoyed how this story between Mary and Noah plays out, navigating not only the challenges of being rivals, but also the complications arising from their pasts. There are a few surprises that show up as the story unfolds, and it was sweet to see where everything ended.
Fans of Amish fiction are sure to enjoy this new book from Bast.
