The Sheepish Scribe

A Noble Groom by Jody Hedlund

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A could-not-put-it-down ending. Loved this reverse Cinderella story. My mother's family were German immigrant farmers in Michigan, so the whole story hits close to home. But it's also a well written, heart-thumping romance.

Carl Richards can't ever tell the German immigrants who have taken him in who he really is when the soft and spoiled son of nobility finds himself down-and-out in a foreign land. Annalisa Werner's first marriage wasn't ideal, or even happy, but she's willing to marry the man her father chooses for her sight unseen. Until Carl arrives. Annalisa must learn to trust, but can she trust a man with a shady past?

Highly recommended and a book I would read again - it's that good.
