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....

The Wedding

I love this book!! It has the right amount of romance and drama in it. I love the way the characters all interact with each other. I wish Julie Garwood would write more Historical fiction again.

Good story. Poor narrator.

I liked the story, although Julie Garwood can get a bit overly detailed. Garwood can take 15 minutes to get to one small point. However her books are romantic. I had high hope for Heather Wildes and kept trying to get into her narration, but she was just awful. She read the story...like reading a financial report...there was NO performance. The "warrior" best friends of the hero sounded like young boys at best...young girls at worst. Heather sometimes wandered into a sort of male voice but it didn't last. If there was more than one male talking it was impossible to keep straight who was who. The story was a pretty good continuation of the Bride, which I loved...but it really MISSED Roz Landor.

I love this series...

I listen to them on my phone I listen when I am driving.my grandmother first taught me how you can read and discover some history as well and then you go look up what they could find written down, not burned or lost...it made me want to write books like Miss Tisdale..lol just do not know how or where to stop!
thank you for creating the magic for those of us that sometimes want to escape from the real world for a while
thank you sincerely

Fun Read

I enjoyed book 2 a little better. Better story and plot, enjoyed the quick laughter and puns. Definitely worth the credit.

Solid romance

Classic historical romance. I first read this book almost two decades ago and decided to reread via audiobook.
This story is engaging and features likeable main characters. There are many amusing scenes as the MMC and his men attempt to understand and deal with the FMC. I enjoyed the MMC's useless attempts to not fall in love with his wife as much as the FMC's attempts to win everyone over. I would have liked a tad bit more romantic scenes between the main characters, but this is still a solid four star read.
