This humorous and touching story found Miriam Schrock and Aaron Raber being thrown together in various situations including their employer. Miriam and Aaron both had hidden pasts that they still needed to forgive themselves for.

One thing about Aaron he definitely wanted to protect Miriam in every situation and worked to prove it.

I have been thoroughly enjoying the Miller’s Creek series! Her Unlikely Amish Protector is a great addition to this series, but can also be read and understood on its own even if you have not read any other books in the series. I really liked getting to see the real Aaron Raber. He had made some big mistakes in the past and was valiantly trying to put all of that behind him. Yet there were some mistakes that would not let him go and began causing problems for him as he attempted to reintegrate into the community. I was so impressed with the way Miriam grew emotionally as a person throughout this story. Because of something from her past, she began the book as a bit of a judgmental person. But as she began to see the type of person Aaron had become, her heart softened toward him and her true personality seemed to finally show through. I thoroughly enjoyed this peek back into the Amish community of Miller’s Creek! (4.5 stars) I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
