Publisher's summary

A historical romance from award-winning and best-selling author Jody Hedlund.

Recently widowed Annalisa Werner has the feeling her husband was murdered but can't prove it. Alone with her young daughter in 1881 Michigan, she has six months left to finish raising the money needed to pay back the land contract her husband purchased, and the land is difficult to toil by herself. She needs a husband. With unmarried men scarce, her father sends a letter to his brother in the Old Country, asking him to find Annalisa a groom. For nobleman Carl von Reichart, the blade of the guillotine is his fate. He's been accused and convicted of a serious crime he didn't commit, and his only escape is to flee to a small German community in Michigan where he'll be safe. He secures a job on Annalisa's farm but bumbles through learning about farming and manual labor. Annalisa senses that Carl is harboring a secret about his past, yet she finds herself drawn to him anyway. He's gentle, kind, and romantic - unlike any of the men she's ever known. He begins to restore her faith in the ability to love - but her true groom is still on his way. And time is running out on them all.

Great read of 1880's historical romance

This historical romance is Book 2 in the Michigan Brides series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Jody Hedlund, the author, has a unique flow of writing and style. The era of this novel is in the 1880's. I highly recommend this author and the narrator as well as this audiobook.

Why don't these Christian books have a notation?

Any additional comments?

Why don't' these Christian books have a notation? I would not buy them if I knew. Often it is not mentioned in the reviews. I would not have to return so many books if there was some indication that this was a story heavy on Christianity.

2 of my favorite characters

I really fell in love with the characters in this story. Such a beautiful journey to take with them as they learn, grow and find true love. Excellently written and, as always, Mary Sarah Agliotta is just brilliant! The story is a great combination of mystery, suspense, adventure, humor and romance. Highly recommended.

A Noble Groom Review

I was spellbound as I listened to this book being read. I am so amazed at Jody Heglund’s ability to write so well. So many twists in the plot. So many references to living life as a godly man and woman even in the midst of such harsh cultural conditions and such harsh physical conditions. So thankful for a sweet love story that captured my heart! Well done, Jody!

Simply Wonderful!

I thoughtfully enjoyed "A Noble Groom". The story line, the characters, and length of the book were perfect. Jodi Hedlund doesn't disapooint in developing full characters, adding depth and strength to each. She uses very descriptive language to help the reader fully engage the scenes and emotions involved. The is the first Audible book I've read narrated by Mary Sarah Agliotti and I look forward to listening to her again. The end of this book left me wanting more of Analise, Carl, and the children's story to continue, yet satisfied with the author's conclusion.....but wonder....a prince or princess? or BOTH!

another great christian book

wow. another great story by mrs. hedlund. so many surprises as the story progresses. much like real life...sadness, joy, fear, suprises, anger, hard choices to make. shows how god works his way in each life to help if they are seeking and willing. i had to stop the book in the middle to call a friend to recommend it so obviously, I highly recommend it to one and all.
