There Goes the Groom by Esther Hatch, Book Review

Book Summary:

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.

My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

There Goes the Groom is a delightful story about an arranged marriage gone awry! It is the runaway bride in reverse! I adored Lucy and her pranks and patience. I was not expecting the early twist in the story and it really surprised me. Lucy was quite determined and I adored that about her. Matthew surprised me in so many ways! I love how Hatch kept me on my toes about how it would turn out. This feel good and humorous story will leave you with a smile on your face. Now for Helena’s story! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!!!
