The WEDDING

Summary: Wedding Bells
Review: This book is TERRIFIC! I love books about Scotland. This book is great, Lady Brenna is on her way to her betrothed Laird McNare, when she is captured by Laird Connor MaAlister, whom she had proposed to when she was just a child of 7 or 8, he wants to accept her proposal so he claims. So Lady Brenna marries the Laird MacAlister and sets out trying to make him into a thoughtful husband and make him fall in love with her. Connor and Brenna's story is just as full of laughs and excitement as Jaime's and Alec's who are also in this story. Connor tries to get his wife to respect him and act like a normal highlander's wife, and Brenna is just as stubborn to make her husband thoughtful and caring. Their love story is great, DEFINATELY a must read and keep book

Summary: I hear bells!
Review: People love weddings right? Of course they do! What strikes me as odd then is the fact that Julie Garwood was the first author to write a book about a wedding! How did this serious ceremony go by virtually unnoticed for centuries? It is almost to frightening to ponder. But I must say kudos to Mrs. Garwood for finally having the courage to break the silence. Now no one has an excuse to be clueless about these "wedding" things. Bravo

Summary: Julie Garwood writes a perfect blend of romance & adventure.
Review: The Wedding is another great book by Julie Garwood.Like all her other books,the heroine is sweet, fiesty and very naieve. As always, you can relate to her and almost imagine yourself there in Scotland. Garwood's hero is stoic, somewhat unfeeling, and very warriorlike. Caught between two clans, the two lovers must trust each other enough to get past trechery and lies. As always, Garwood shows that love conquers all, but makes a suspensful story in the process

Summary: A sweet romance
Review: I bought "The Wedding" by Julie Garwood because the synopsis promised the elements I adore most in romance: it's set in the Highlands of Scotland of more than two hundred years ago (I hate reading modern-day romance!) with an honorable Laird and a reluctant English bride. Well, to be more precise, it's set in the 1100's, but hey, that's more than two hundred years ago, no? Anyway, the heroine, sixteen-year-old Lady Brenna, is being escorted to MacNare, the man whom she just found out that morning she is betrothed to. However, the going is not smooth at all, because Connor MacAlister, MacNare's bitter enemy, decides to claim Brenna for his own--after all, she did propose to him when she was a child. Now married to a stranger, and uncertain of her future (Connor, um, kindly informs her to forget her past), Brenna decides to win her new husband over, and learn the ways of his people--as well as how to speak better Gaelic! Unfortunately, there are other forces at work equally determined to undermine her efforts and watch her fail, but will she able to put a stop to them? And can she truly make Connor love her, he who is consumed by the past and the murder of his father? Now, this IS a romance, use common sense! So if you want to read a sweet, whimsical tale set in mideval times, then "The Wedding" is definitely the book for you. The only complaint I have is that none of the Scots TALK like Scots! However, the story is amusing and more than makes up for that flaw

Review: Julie Garwood keeps you enchanted from the first page. I started the book and couldn't put it down. Scotland at it's best

Summary: FUN
Review: I enjoyed The Wedding as much as her previous book, The Bride. The perky humor reminds me a lot of Elizabeth Peters and her books with the character Amelia Peabody

Rating:
Summary: Almost perfect!!
Review: I love the book, but my favorite is still The Bride. The characters spent too much time in the forest and at Jamie's home and not enough time togther to get adjusted to one another, which is usually when the heroine tries to change her husband and the husband is too stubborn to let her. Ms. Garwood shows the cleverness of the woman by having her outwit her man, the hero often realizing too late that he has changed to please his wife. That's the best part of all of Ms. Garwood's book. Unlike McNaught's, there isn't too much heartache dragging the book down. In McNaught's books, I don't ever like the men and women seem too wimpy. In Ms. Garwood's books, the text is funny, the women spirited, and the men(oh dream)are hard but willing to bend. I especially love it when they are frustrated by their wives' antics and when they act so tough when loving them

Summary: Excellent, another winner
Review: If you liked The Bride You will love The Wedding. You get to meet the boy Lady Jamie saved from the boar, He is now all grown up and is interested in aquiring a bride, but not just any bride but the one promised to his enemy - Lady Brenna. Ms.Garwood creates a heroine that is not afraid to have some backbone. Lady Brenna is more than up to match with her wild scotsman, a man she asked, as a young child, three times to marry her. You are drawn into the life of this scottish clan and their story. At the same time you get to visit an old friend (Lady Jamie from The Bride)to see how her life turned out. I dare you to read this book and try to put it down until it is done. It is a delite to read something where the heroine has spunk in her character and the hero whose strong character is not afraid to bend (in his way) to the lady that he loves.
