All Annalisa
Werner hoped for was fairy-tale romance. A prince charming to sweep her off her
feet and carry her away. Instead she got a husband who cared more about his
drinking and gambling then his wife and daughter. But now with her husband dead
and on the brink of losing her farm Annalisa must marry again if she hopes to
save her land. So her father sends a letter to his brother in Germany, asking
him to send Annalisa a groom.
Carl
Richards is a man who is lucky to still have his head. Forced to flee Germany with
nothing but the clothes on his back Carl takes refuge with Annalisa’s family.
He claims that he is former school teacher and was sent by Matthias, Annalisa
uncle. Carl asked that he be allowed to stay with Annalisa’s parents in
exchange for helping out on her farm until her new husband arrives to take his
place. Desperate Annalisa accepts his offer.
Annalisa
soon realizes that Carl is everything her first husband wasn’t. Caring, fascinating,
and gentle, the prince charming she always dreamed of. But she also knows that her new husband may arrive
any day.
A
Noble Groom by Jody Hedlund was brilliant! I fell in love with Annalisa and
Carl immediately and felt their troubles as if they were mine. Everything about
this story was great. The best thing was that I could imagine every part of
this story being true. Every character and every place was brought to life with
Jody’s writing. I absolutely loved A Noble Groom and will definitely recommend it!
5 out of 5. This Afternoon Snack
was worthy of royalty!
