Rating: Summary: Funny and Heart Warming!!! Review: This book and The Bride are two of my all time favorite historical romances. I have read all of Julie Garwood's books and have been entertained and charmed by most of them, however, these two stories were special because they made me laugh out loud (numerous times). I couldn't put these books down and I didn't want either of them to end. They are keepers that I will read again.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: I loved this book. Connor was a little to much on the savage side but I loved the way he was devoted to his wife. I hope that Mrs. Garwood continues with the series with the story of Quinlan and Faith.!!
Rating: Summary: Connor and Brenna will brighten your day! Review: Everyone will love reading about Connor and Brenna. The heroine is charming and her escapades will have readers laughing out loud. The hero is a warrior that will make hearts race. Connor decides to take his enemies fiance as his own wife out of vengeance and finds out that he had met the bride before. Brenna had met Connor when she was a little girl and had decided she wanted him for a husband. Years have passed and now Brenna will be getting Connor as a husband whether she wants him or not.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read! Review: This is the first book I owned by Julie Garwood, and let me be the one to say I am now HOOKED on her novels! This book was so funny and romantic! One that will keep you wanting it to never end. I laughed out loud so much, my family thought I needed professional help! I never use to read but for some reason this book's cover drew me in and that was it! You will want to read all of her books!
Rating: Summary: Not Garwood's Best Review: I have read most of Garwood's books and I admit that they are all very well written. The only thing that troubled me in this one was the weak heroine who later just turned inside out and became an almost complete snob. The plot was somewhat underdeveloped as well. All around, though, this is an enjoyable book, but definately not Garwood's best.
Rating: Summary: Please, I can't tell this apart from any other Garwood book. Review: I loved Julie Garwood. Really I did. She was one of my top five writers, and after I read The Gift, I bought every book I could get my hands on. I've finally come to the conclusion that she has one male and one female character, and she just changes the names and puts them in different circumstances. It used to be cute some of the dumb things the heroines would do and say. Now it just seems ridiculous. Please, please, Ms. Garwood, give us some variety. I can't tell if I just read about Brenna, or Jamie, or Bridget, or Mary Rose (heaven forbid!) etc. They are all the same. I actually read 200 pages of this before I realized I had read it before! That's how much impact this story had on me. Another example of something that is really annoying in Garwood books, is the way the Connor insisted on calling Alec his brother, instead of his name. Yeah, I get the point that you're trying to say that they really consider each other brothers. Matter of fact, I got that point in the first few pages. I didn't have to have it repeated again and again and again.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Loved It!!! Review: I absolutely loved this book and ready it in 2 days. That may not seem like a great feat, but I'm working full time with a 3 month old baby! Conner and Brenna are both strong, multi-dimensional characters. I am so tired of flat one-dimensional figures in historical romance. Julie Garwood always tells a humerous story, and this one was beautifully done.
Rating: Summary: A FUNNY, SENSITIVE AND ROMANTIC STORY. A KEEPER. Review: THIS BOOK AND THE "BRIDE" ARE TWO OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. THE BEGINNING, WHEN BRENNA WAS A SMALL CHILD IS DELIGHTFUL. THE WEDDING CEREMONY WAS GREAT.IN THE "BRIDE" WE ARE INTRODUCED TO JAMIE AND ALEC WHO HAVE A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT PART IN CONNOR AND BRENNA'S LIFE. JULIE GARWOOD HAS BROUGHT US TWO BOOKS THAT THE READER WILL NOT WANT TO PUT DOWN UNTIL FINISHED.
Rating: Summary: One of the best I've read in a long time. Review: I read my first Julie Garwood novel about a year ago and just loved it. I read a few other books, from different authors, since and they seemed to be missing something. I read "The Wedding" and was immediately lost in this wonderful story. I didn't want this novel to end. Conner and Brenna keep pulling at your heart strings through the entire book. You laugh and cry, and feel every emotion, and felt apart of there lives. You will not be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Sequel to The Bride Review: Conner MacAlister is Alec Kincaid's younger adopted brother. As a child, he watched his father die and swore revenge. A few years later, he meets a precocious little girl named Brenna who asks the young Scot to marry him. When she turned sixteen, Brenna is sent to Scotland to marry MacNare, the same man who killed Conner's father. Conner decides to kill two birds with one stone. He would kidnap Brenna and marry her, thereby rescuing her and getting one over on MacNare. Although, this was a good story and seeing Jamie and Alec again were nice, I wished that Conner and Brenna had more going on between them. There was a lot of separation with these two characters. Also, Brenna did have some good qualities and was portrayed a innocent, but she often came off as a "ditz." Not quite up to par with some of Garwood's other books, this story still managed a 4-star rating.
