£8.10
#1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood brings the soaring adventure, love and rivalry of medieval Scotland to glorious life in this classic historical romance.
Journeying from England to Scotland, Lady Brenna has resigned herself to an arranged match with a highlander. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captures her en route, she fearlessly meets their demand to instead marry their leader—her betrothed’s sworn enemy—the quick-tempered Connor MacAlister.
Brenna harbors no illusions that her husband is in love with her, but their shared past gives her hope. Maybe the laird who once visited her father’s castle and charmed her with a dazzling, unexpected smile remains underneath Connor’s stern exterior.
But as she sets out to win the man whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war—and only her faith in her new husband can save her…

I absolutely love this author – I have for years been a fan of Judith McNaught and Jude Deveraux, who are both excellent authors – however Julie Garwood is, I have to say brilliant. This book The Wedding is definitely one of her best and since I am in the process of buying and reading all her books, I can honestly say I have not found one of them that isn’t amazing.

I felt really rubbish today and I couldn’t get into any of my new books, so times like this calls for a re-read of a timeless golden oldie. This book warms my jaded heart and is funny, sweet and good enough to read again and again which I have done over the years. I adore Brenna as much as I do Jamie in book 1. So worth a read, this book is an absolute winner!!

This second book is loosely connected to the first in the series but can also be read as a stand-alone.
It’s a Scottish medieval romance and follows Conner Macalister adopted brother of the previous hero Alec and another Scottish English marriage match.
Brenna is on the way to an arranged marriage with a Scottish Laird when her travelling party is waylaid by savages in full war paint.
The leader of this group Connor explains she is now to marry him instead, her wishes are of course irrelevant. The two had originally met when Brenna was a small child and she decided he was going to be her future husband. Now she’s definitely not so sold on the whole idea.
Connor has vengeance in his heart and has sworn revenge against the man Brenna had
been promised to. What a way to sock it to him than by stealing the man’s future bride a side benefit is he finds her completely breathtaking. Their past history is also a very convenient cover.
As a pair, I loved these two and this story constantly had me smiling from ear to ear.
Connors sheer hopelessness in understanding his new wife was hilarious he really didn’t have much of a clue about woman beyond the superficial.
Brennan’s exasperation with his cluelessness was equally amusing and these two were like chalk and cheese.
Connor has never met anyone quite like Brenna and she is uniquely forthright and lacking in artifice saying exactly what thoughts run through her head. Whilst Connor believes in not wasting his words unnecessarily and never explaining himself.
My only annoyance here was when Brenna allowed her stepmother to walk all over her losing her backbone in the process I so wanted her to stand up for herself and she never did and also Conners unintentional disregard of his wife’s needs.
I mean yes I got it early on in their acquaintance but later I thought he was being slightly obtuse and needlessly thoughtless in his actions and how his words could be wrongly interpreted.
But overall this is an excellent and humorous forced marriage historical that is well written and very engaging and I can easily recommend this one if it’s your thing.

Both lead characters are engaging and very likeable. The blossoming love between the two was convincing and the dialogue was enjoyable.
However, if you like for your hero to be emotionally intelligent, you may wish to read something else.
As soon as the hero’s stepmother and her son were introduced, I felt like he put on a pair of blinkers and refused to acknowledge the subsequent bullying of his wife, thereby leaving her to her fate.
It just struck me as stupid and unnecessary character flaw and it irritated me no end. It was also irritating to see the heroine be such a doormat.
Not one I’ll reread.
