By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice was Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison...a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec ached to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie vowed never to surrender to this highland barbarian.
He was everything her heart warned against-an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks spoke of savage pleasures. And thought Kincaid's scorching kisses fired her blood, she brazenly resisted him...until one rapturous moment quelled their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatened to conquer her senses...

10.13.2021 A re-read for Historical Hellions Book Club October 2021 Read. I listened to it this time around. Audiobook experience- 4.0 stars /4.5 stars.
This is like the third time reading this book. I physically read the books the first two times and remember really liking The Bride. This last time around... I'm not sure if it was because it was on audio, but I found myself not liking several parts of the book. It mostly had to do with Alec's behavior at points in the book. I wonder too if I had subconsciously convinced myself that a lot of these heroes are a lot more progressive for the times and therefore I allowed some of the neanderthal to peek through because they are learning to change their ways and no one is perfect all the time.
Not sure. All I know is that Julie Garwood was my introduction to Historical Romances and she created an ambiance that I needed every time I dived into her world. I might stick to reading these physically on whatever round of re-reads I choose next. Some books are better experienced that way and that is ok.
An excellent book!!! Just love what innocence and a difficult in communication can do... humor in is best.
