Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Cathy Maxwell returns with a delicious new series, The Brides of Wishmore.
What happens when a bride says maybe?
She'd once been the toast of London, but now scandal has brought her down. Still, pretty, petted Lady Tara Davidson can't believe her new fate. She had wanted to marry for love…but her profligate father has promised her hand to none other than Breccan Campbell, the "Beast of Aberfeldy" and laird of the valley's most despised clan! Well, Tara may have to marry him, but Breccan can't make her love him…can he?
What happens when the groom insists?
Breccan Campbell is nobody's fool. He knows that Tara is trouble. Yet he's determined to reform the Campbell name even if it means forging an alliance with the arrogant beauty. There's no doubt that Tara is a challenge, and Breccan loves nothing more. For he's vowed to thoroughly seduce Tara...and make her his in more than name alone.

Fantastic narrator!
Love listening to Mary Jane Wells. She was especially exceptional in narrating this story. Her Scottish accent was great. She does female and male parts excellently. She really makes the stories that she narrates come alive. I love historical romances and she makes them great.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Narrator
Would you be willing to try another book from Cathy Maxwell? Why or why not?
I like all Cathy maxwell books
Would you be willing to try another one of Mary Jane Wells’s performances?
I don't know she made the main character sound like a 10 year old even though she has a nice voice

Another easy read
Cathy Maxwell and narrator Mary Jane Wells go together well. This is a feisty tale of a spoilt darling of London society and an "old style" Laird of a Scottish clan. Some of the storyline is a bit false (to make it fit the plot - poor old Rory - apparently it only took him a month to become disenchanted with his previously wholehearted love for Jane). There are some amusing episode amongst the more serious romance but overall the narrator keeps the whole thing light and very easy to listen to. Laird gets his woman without becoming a whimp and heroine realises she did not want what she craved for a month before! All rather implausible, but it makes for a good lighthearted read.
