MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I found myself zipping through the pages of “A Noble Groom” and reached the end much too quickly. The novel is so well written that it took almost no effort to read – it just flowed. Of course that could also be due to the fact that I became so involved in the story that I had to keep reading in order to learn what would happen next.<\/p>\n

Recently widowed Annalisa Werner loves stories as evidenced by how many of them she tells her young daughter throughout the book. However she believes that true love is simply a fairytale and is not something she should ever expect. She has seen very little evidence of that kind of love in the marriages that surround her. For that reason she is resigned to another marriage to the cousin her father has sent for in Germany since she really needs help to save her farm. When Carl Richards shows up with a message that her future husband has been delayed, he agrees to help out on the farm until the man arrives. Little does he realize that he will come to care for Annalisa and her children as if they were his own family. Is it possible for two people from such diverse backgrounds to find happiness together?<\/p>\n

I pretty much loved everything about “A Noble Groom”. The characters were so well described they could have stepped right off the pages – even the villainous Ward. Both Annalisa and Carl were such strong and determined people but each of them needed to depend on the Lord a bit more for their guidance. The story had a little of everything, humor, drama, suspense, action, and disaster with a healthy dose of romance in all the right places.<\/p>\n

You cannot <\/strong><\/em>go wrong in picking up a copy of “A Noble Groom” if you like historical romance even a little. Take my word for it!<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>Michigan, 1880<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Annalisa Werner\u2019s hope for a fairy tale love is over. Her husband failed her in every way and now his death has left her with few options to save the family farm. She needs a plentiful harvest. That, and a husband to help bring it in. Someone strong, dependable. That\u2019ll be enough. A marriage for love\u2026that\u2019s something she\u2019s given up on.<\/p>\n

So her father sends a letter to his brother in the Old Country, asking him to find Annalisa a groom.<\/p>\n

Then a man appears: Carl Richards, from their home country of Germany and a former schoolteacher\u2013or so he says. He\u2019s looking for work and will serve on the farm until her husband arrives.<\/p>\n

With time running out, she accepts his help, but there\u2019s more to this man than he\u2019s admitting. He\u2019s also gentle, kind, charming\u2013unlike any man she\u2019s ever known. But even as Carl is shining light into the darkness of her heart, she knows her true groom may arrive any day.<\/p>\n
