The Bride

I absolutely adored this book. Everything about it from writing, characters and plot was perfection. One of the best historical romances I’ve ever read….and I’ve read a lot. Beautiful read and I thoroughly recommend

What an amazing book. I can't get enough from this author. Beautiful story, amazing characters and love the plot so much.

I really enjoyed this book I found the lead Alec yummy i loved his dialogue and the fierceness he exuded i even like his two second in command Marcus and Gavin they came across just as sexy as Alec did , the story line was really good too i don't want too much historical references like others do this is not a history book so i like the romance ,and my main lead in the picture all the time loved the sex scenes too! the reason i don't give it five is that i kind of didnt like the fact that the heroine was a female William Wallace oh dear!!!!!!!and the fact that every question asked was repeated it was quite tiring and yeah one more thing which was laughable was that this proud worrier Scottish laird was content to allow this British bride to put up the king of England up as a tapestry in his main hall omg omg omg hahahahahahaha im not even Scottish and im offended!!!!!!!!!!!!I REALLY ENJOYED IT THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!ESPECIALLY THESE MALE HIGHLANDERS GATHERING TOGETHER I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE TESTOSTERONE LOL!

I simply love this book. Over the years I have re-read it untold times. A Funny, warm, beautiful read. I adore all of the characters especially Jamie who is one of my favourite lead characters ever! A complete keeper.

Thoroughly enjoyable,love the heroines character.certainly one to be read more than once.looking forward to reading another of her books.

I have to say I loved this book it was funny the characters were brilliant and the love story was fab. I have never read anything from this author I got to say I will be reading a lot more.

No doubt full of historical inaccuracies but I really enjoyed the humour in this story. A book to enjoy with a big glass of wine when you just want a bit of escapism....

I found this as frustrating as it was enchanting. It dragged on in some spots, and in others, it jumped around so quickly that it seemed rushed. And yet, the love story itself was spell-binding.

Oh my gosh! This was good! Fantabulous!! I'm not sure if this book was supposed to be a comedy but it was one of the funniest books I've read in a long time. It was thoroughly enjoyable. I was laughing for most of this book. This book had everything that I enjoy in a romance novel ✔ Possessive alpha male ✔ Bad Ass Heroine ✔ Solid storyline with low angst ✔ Funny as hell I loved Alec. He was a Scottish Laird who has married Jamie who is an English girl out of duty to his King. He really did not care to have a wife and he has a strong dislike of the English in general. He was a cold and brutal man. In the first part of the book he single handedly killed and incapacitated a group of men who had weapons with just his bare hands. Initially he had no respect for Jamie or her opinion. To him, women were inferior and her wants or needs were not important. Her duty was to serve and obey him. I have no idea how, but this author made me fall in love with this man! You start to realize that there is an underlying softness in him that Jamie seems to bring out of him. He turns out to be a very caring and loving man. And I loved his possessiveness. He made it clear he would kill any man that looked at Jamie in an inappropriate way. Jamie was also and amazing character. She was a very strong heroine. She was very opinionated and head strong. This of course created a lot of arguments with Alec who wanted his wife submissive. She was not afraid to stand up to her husband, a man that most men were even afraid to look in the eye. “The lass has only been here a short time, Alec. Surely she doesn’t mean to challenge you.” Alec nodded. Jamie shook her head. “I do so mean to challenge him... though I don’t wish to sound insolent. I would simply like him to explain why I can’t tell him what to do. He tells me often enough.” I loved the banter between these two! Jamie also had a lot of skills that women were not supposed to have. She was a skilled healer. She was able to ride her horse bareback. She was able to defend herself with her knife skills and bow and arrow. It was fun to see how surprised Alec was to find out these things about her. This book was also filled with a lot of heat and passion. The sexual chemistry was amazing between these two. They were both insatiable. Just the right amount of sex scenes in this book. This book was so much fun! I'm very interested to read the rest of this series! 5 stars!

Mais uma ótima recomendação do site All About Romance. Recentemente falecida, a autora Julie Grawwod é reconhecida como uma das mestres no gênero. Seu estilo, que traz um mix de romance e ação com alguns toques de humor agrada em cheio. The Bride é um desses romances que acertam na dose, com um excelente equilíbrio entre o romance e os vários trechos mais “leves” que me fizeram dar boas risadas. A obra ganha as 5 estrelas pelo time de personagens principais e secundários super bem desenvolvidos, pela trama complexa e caprichada (sem ser excessivamente complicada), pelo ritmo agradável e justamente pelo humor. Confesso que ao fim da leitura já fiquei com saudade de Alec e Jamie. The Bride vai, com certeza, para a lista de romances favoritos.

`Tis the truth I really enjoyed reading this book. Swallowed it in two days. Alec and Jamie were just too amusing. If u love yourself a cute fierce humorous romance with a dash of cliche it’s for u go read it what are you waiting for.

The italian title of the book is The lady of The fogs. Many many years ago i bought The book and my opinion is that The true Julie Garwood is only to be found in These books speaking about Scotland. It Was my wish since a long time to read The original in English. I like this book and it is full of humor. It is a good companion to spend my time instead of television. This book is one of them you read again and again when you néed to relax and to dream.

イングランドの貴族の娘、Jamie（But, it's man's name!)は税金を納め忘れた父親に対する王の罰則としてハイランドの領主Alecと結婚させられてしまう。見知らぬ男、しかも風習も考え方も異なるスコットランド人、見るからに恐ろしげな大男。第一印象は圧倒的にネガティブだったけれど･･･。 主人公二人の相性が最高。"ケミストリー"とは上手く言ったもので、それぞれ単独でも充分魅力的な二人だけれど、この二人が一緒になるとそれこそ化学反応でも起こしたかのように爆発的な吸引力を発揮します。コミカルなシーンでは二人の軽妙なやり取りに思わず笑ってしまうし、情熱的なシーンではかなりドキドキ。Jamieの方向音痴ネタなど、ユーモアのセンスも抜群。ミステリー仕立ての仕掛けもあったりして、一冊で何度も美味しい。 ラブ・コメの部類に入るかと思いますが、ロマンス的にもコメディ的にもレベル高いです。個人的にはもう少し重めのロマンスが好きなんだけれど、たまにはこういう楽しいロマンスもよいなぁ、と。
