I read this
on ebook and I'm 15% into it when I realized it’s not for me. I didn’t put it
down though. I’ve read the first book and I absolutely loved it so I thought
maybe I’m gonna like it later on.
I love
Connor’s character though. Like Alec (from The Bride), he is a great warrior.
Nice bod, nice looks and arrogant attitude. Behind that perfect chiselled face and
nice built lies a boy with a tender heart who only wants justice for his father’s
death.
Brenna on
the other hand is so annoying. She’s so childish and such a push-over. I’m so
irritated with her that I think that’s the main reason why I can’t love the
book. Also, there are lots and lots of miscommunication scenes in this book
that I get exasperated. My irritation to Brenna grew when she finally met Alec
(come on, he’s my man from book one). Like, I don’t understand, Jamie can’t
even sway Alec from the first book and I think Jamie is so brave and has a
strong personality. And in this book, Brenna, the childlike girl, can say
anything in front of Alec. Okay. Wow. I also don’t like the way how she
interacted with Jamie. I don’t know but in this book, the strong qualities of
the characters (Alec and Jamie) on book one was the complete opposite of the
qualities portrayed in this book (e.g. Jamie will never cry
no matter how afraid she is but in this book she cried like a baby).
Also, what I don't understand in both book 1 and 2 is that why do they (the Lairds) hate it when their English wives talk about their English families? It pained my heart (maybe because I'm a family-oriented kind of girl).
Anyway,
though I kinda don’t like the whole book, it’s a cute read in general. No plot
much. Just a feel good book.
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....
