The Bride (Lairds' Fiancees #1) by Julie Garwood // BOOK REVIEW


Historical / Medieval Romance have always been so appealing to me. Men in horses and warrior boots who are skilful in battle are so damn hot, right? So I am out in Goodreads looking for medieval romance and it’s in the top list so I immediately keep in my library.

I love Jamie’s character so much. I can identify with her bubbly personality and her love for her family. She’s the youngest among Baron Jamison’s daughters and yet she’s the bravest and most responsible of them all. I can relate with her personality in a way that I would definitely go the distance just to protect my family.

Alec’s character, on the other hand, is quite the opposite of Jamie’s. He’s very attractive and brave and I love how he stirs her blood by throwing insults (?) that are not quite insults at all.

I like their exchange of words when they’re both trying to stir each other. There are times when I was reading this book that I will suddenly giggle around the corner because I’ve remembered scenes from their first night. The book is both hot and funny. The plot, the setup and the characters are so well-written I so loved it.

This is the first book I’ve read of Julie Garwood and I loooooved it. This is going to be one of my favourite historical romance books.

I love me some Kincade!

Also, throughout the book, I was imagining Alexandra Daddario. Just sharing.

Synopsis (from Goodreads)


The Bride sweeps readers back to the savage beauty of medieval Scotland....
By the king's edict, Alec Kincaid, mightiest of the Scottish lairds, must take an English bride. And Jaime the youngest daughter of Baron Jamison, is his choice. From his first glimpse of the proud and beautiful English lady, Alec felt a burning hunger stir within him. This was a woman worthy of his fearless warrior's spirit. And he aches to touch her, tame her, possess her...forever.

But with the wedding vows, Jamie pledges her own secret oath: She will never surrender her love to this Highland barbarian. He was everything her heart warned her against -- an arrogant, brooding scoundrel whose rough good looks and seductive embrace fire her blood. But when strange accidents begin to threaten Jamie's life and an old rumor that Alec killed his first wife spreads anew, something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses.
