We have some historical romance today, set in the Scottish Highlands. Conveniently Wed to the Laird by Jeanine Englert is published by Harlequin Historical on January 24th. I also have a great giveaway for you to enter. Details are at the foot of this post.
The laird’s bridal bid…
Is love too high a price to pay?
When new laird, Ewan Stewart, comes across a wife for sale
at a market, he outbids everyone to rescue her. He never intended for Catriona
to become his bride, but a convenient marriage could secure his clan’s future
and her freedom. They agree that their arrangement must stay free of love, yet
Catriona’s bravery and fire intrigue him. Can Ewan resist falling for his
wife—the one rule he must not break?
My Thoughts
Set in the Highlands, this historical romance introduces some likeable characters who are shown to have flaws as well as virtues. Ewan has an impulsive side but also a sincerity which shines through. I sure how to be a successful laird, he has to learn to trust his own instincts and not try to be a carbon copy of his father.
Catriona longs for freedom but finds that as a woman, some see her as a possession to further their wants and needs. There is a mystery at the heart of the story, ie who she actually is. Her desire for a family is so strong. Ewan has to learn to risk his heart and take a chance. His vulnerability puts him at risk of losing what he wants. This is an entertaining read, full of romance and fervour.
In short: romance among the clans
