Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Julie Garwood has captured the hearts of millions of listeners worldwide with timeless tales of love and soaring adventure. Now, returning to the enchanting world of her classic love story “The Bride,” she brings to glorious life the passion, intrigue, and rivalry of medieval Scotland....

Resigned to an arranged marriage to a highland laird she has never met, Lady Brenna journeys from England to Scotland certain she will suffer a loveless marriage. But en route to her betrothed, a rival band of Werce, painted warriors intercept her caravan and demand that she marry their leader -- the handsome, quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister, the same man she'd repeatedly proposed to as a child while he'd been a visitor to her father's castle.

Though Brenna scarcely remembers the secret missives she'd sent to MacAlister declaring her love, she has never forgotten the tall visitor's dazzling, unexpected smile. Now older and wiser, Brenna harbors no illusions that Connor is in love with her -- indeed, after a hasty forest wedding, Connor assures her she can return home once she has borne him a son. Lady Brenna has no idea that her capture is merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy.

Determined to be happy, Brenna soon endears herself to most of the MacAlister clan, despite -- or perhaps because of -- her uncanny knack for getting into trouble. And although she comes to adore her brave, superstitious, gentle husband, she has no clue that Connor lives for the moments she whispers "I love you"...words she never meant him to hear. But, as she sets out to win the heart of the brave chieftain, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant husband can save her....

It was awesome

Love all her historical romance wish she would write about Faith and her story but the most memorable for me was when she kissed his scars on his hands and told him him that those where his past and and he was honorable , and the narrator was wonderful she nailed it, hope she writes another historical soon but looking forward to the new novel coming up in August.

lots of fun

I love the story in this book. There were so many places that gave me a chuckle that I lost count. The performance was really good. I think it's harder to do male voices for a female performer because of tone and range. This vocal was excellent with her brogue versus her English accent. I was impressed! finding variety was more difficult, but overall she did a great job.

Excellent

I have become thoroughly addicted to this series of Highland romances. I can't get any of my work completed because I'm continually plugged in to these audio books.

Loved as always!!!!

this is a wonderful book The narration was impeccable I always love this series and the author cell anything and everything about her is amazing in my eyes but this one was a little bit better than most in my opinion character building was phenomenal teamwork love all the emotions when they're great story I would recommend it to anyone.

Just Plain Enjoyable!

Have you listened to any of Heather Wilds’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Her Male Scotts sounds like Sesame Street's The Count.

Any additional comments?

The book was a bit hard to get into at first, you feel as if you must have missed some key information that links it to The Bride. But early on there is no link... it comes later and really isnt that strong. So if you didnt hear the Bride its OK. This takes its own path. I ENJOYED THE PLOT and its twists MORE THAN THE BRIDE. Will listen to this again.

Julie Garwwods and Historicals equals...The Best

Would you listen to The Wedding again? Why?

Yes! I will surely will listen to it again. Love the story and the narrator does a pretty good job her voice is easy to listen to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both Brenna and Connor can't go wrong with both. The go together like bacon and eggs.

What does Heather Wilds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

When listening to a book is like having a bran new version of the book if it's done well and she does. She as a nice voice not scratchy nor gruff nor whinny (I hate whinny voices). But I wouldn't stop reading the print or e-book they all go together.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Blue Paint and Weddings

Compelling Story

Great storyline and characters. Unfortunately, the narrator is unable to do a proper Scottish accent or change depth of voice between male and female characters. It was difficult to listen to all the way through.

Loved it!!!

I read this book a couple of years ago.....still funny....still a great book.
