There Goes the Groom

A Romance of Rank, Book 3

De: Esther Hatch

Narrado por: Noah Wall

Catching a husband has never been so complicated.

Matthew Harrison has only one task in life: to marry money. After failing miserably in London, his family takes matters into their own hands by arranging his marriage to the wealthy Lucy Bateman. But when he meets Lucy for the first time, his resolve to save his family from ruin crumbles. Lucy looks to be nothing more than a child, and he cannot fathom going through with the union. Without a thought for the consequences of his actions, he runs away.

Lucy Bateman didn’t like the idea of an arranged marriage, but she agreed to save her sister from suffering the same fate. However, when she played a trick on her groom-to-be by sending her younger sister to meet him in her place, he fled without a word. Now, three years later, Lucy stumbles upon her long-lost fiance working as a cart driver. Fate has given her a second chance and this time there will be no tricks… other than pretending to be someone else entirely in order to convince him to come home and marry her.

Loved it!!

I loved the couple Matthew and Lucy! I didn’t want it to end. This was such a good one!! Can’t wait to listen to the entire series!!

Fun and lovely

Esther is one of the few authors I come to check up on regularly to see what is new… this book was delightful just like all her other books. I love how silly and fun this story was and how lovely it turned out. I was in need of some humor and this was just what I needed. I can’t wait to get Helena’s and Victoria’s book 😉.

These two are adorable

The situation is so funny. The characters are, well characters. I have enjoyed the three books in the series I have listened to so far. I love a clean romance.

Fun Regency

This delightful marriage of convenience set in the Regency era was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I found the characters to be remarkably endearing, each with their unique charm and depth. The picturesque countryside setting added to the captivating atmosphere, making me feel as though I was strolling through lush gardens and quaint villages alongside them. The story’s resolution, culminating in a heartwarming happily ever after, left me with a smile and a sense of satisfaction that lingered long after I turned the last page.

It just feels good!

I loved it. It was sweet and sassy and very affectionate!!!! Their first kiss was excellent!

Loved this book

Esther did it again, not that I'm surprised, another fabulous book. Well written and I love the narrator.

Another great addition to the collection

I don’t know what to say except I love this book and I’m glad that the author added it to the collection. Lots of laughter and romance you’d expect from this author… with a dash of faith in God woven in. It’s a perfect combination making it a great story to enjoy.
Looking forward to more!

I love the creative humor.

Noah Wall adds so much to the story. Please don’t give in to the trend of allowing AI to narrate. It would not do your hard work justice.

Fun read

Easy to follow, kept me intrigued, would read again!!! Listened in the car and on my outdoor run.

Good

Cute story. The hero was a little dull, but all the girls chased after him. The heroine had all the personality.
