Chronicle In Favor Of Books The Wedding (Lairds' Fiancées #2)
It's a classic plot: a marriage of convenience that lays the groundwork for true love. 1119. Journeying from England to Scotland to wed a highlander, Lady Brenna had resigned herself to the arranged match. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captured her en route, she fearlessly met their demand to marry their leader -- the quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister. She couldn't know that her capture was merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy. Brenna harbored no illusions that her husband was in love with her; after a hasty forest wedding, MacAlister assured her she could return home once she had borne him a son. But she could not deny that she had once proposed to MacAlister -- ten years ago, when she was just a child, and the visitor to her father's castle charmed her with his dazzling, unexpected smile. Now, as she sets out to win the brave chieftain whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant hero can save her....Details Books In Pursuance Of The Wedding (Lairds' Fiancées #2)

Ahhh can't say enough how majestic and real Scotland feels. Julie Garwood's vividness brings this beautiful country into our homes and imagination. I swear at times I wanted to string Connor MacAlister up by his short hairs. He's rude, assholish, manipulative and a jerk, another words a typical man. When he forced Brenna to give up the memory of her family and childhood possessions her siblings had given her, I could have strangled him on the spot. But yet the high handed highlander was special,2 starsLooks like I'm one of the few who didn't enjoy this book. I had high hopes to start but ended up disappointed and frustrated for most of the books.I found "The Wedding" frustrating, wearisome, and confusing at times. There were some funny and endearing parts, but those moments soon gave way to frustration again. I also had a devil of a time trying to connecting with these characters. I didn't hate the book but I certainly didn't like it either.I'm not sure why this story didn't sit well
The Wedding was another enjoyable read but I did enjoyed book 1 more. I found Connor and Brenna exhausting. Connor was cold and Brenna tried so hard to please him that I was frustrated for more than half of the book. The second half was a lot better but I do wish we were able to see a little more of Connor's softer side.
I quite adore my highlanders. Untamed, brawny, kilted- they have this unique uber hot quality ah canna resist! And Julie Garwood does a fair job presenting them. Her The bride was beautifully done with a surly H brought to heel by a sweet innocent and giving bride.In this sequel, she does it again. The premise and tone is the same in this one and the start was very promising. I love an abducted bride and a forced marriage do, and these two have a sweet history and are not strictly strangers. As
4 StarsThese books are hit and misses with me. Overall, I did enjoy this one, but towards the end, I was getting kind of tired of the story (its a REALLY LONG book) and skimmed the last 20%.I liked the tone and feel of this one, but its not my favorite. I didnt agree with the way the Hero treated the Heroine at times and I kind of wanted a stronger Heroine.But you get all the feels, you get the virgin bride that didnt know she was getting married. You got the protector Hero and fighting
3.75 Stars
I really loved The Bride and was really disappointed by The Wedding. 2.5 starsThe book gets 2.5 stars because :1 Brenna tried to be clever to get her way. I say tried, because it didn't happen as often as I expected.2 The scene with the wedding vows. I hope the book had more banter and a defiant Brenna.She will honor me, protect me, obey me only when she believes Im being reasonablebut I shouldnt hold out hope that that day will ever cometry to love me before shes an old woman, and Id better get
