Sheesh, it sucked to be a woman back in these days. I know, I say that a lot. But, it really really sucked to be a woman back then. First, her father basically sells her to be married to some asshole they've never met and the father only tells her hours before she is sent to her new husband that this will happen. She'll never see her family again, has no idea what to expect, and is sent on horseback to journey hundreds of miles to get to the guy.Ha! She should be so lucky as to have it this easy...

1 star - dnf 31%I think reading 3 Julie Garwood books in a row has done some brain damage. I can actually physically feel my eyeballs burning. I cannot believe this is the same author who wrote Honor's Splendour. Maybe her books need to be read once a year so you forget the woman writes the same story over and over and over again.PS: The way all three heroines have blonde hair, blue eyes and share one personality. The range🤌PS PS: take my rating with a grain of salt. I'm just really fucking piss...

2 starsLooks like I'm one of the few who didn't enjoy this book. I had high hopes to start but ended up disappointed and frustrated for most of the books.I found "The Wedding" frustrating, wearisome, and confusing at times. There were some funny and endearing parts, but those moments soon gave way to frustration again. I also had a devil of a time trying to connecting with these characters. I didn't hate the book but I certainly didn't like it either.I'm not sure why this story didn't sit well w...

I remember loving this when I first read it years ago, not so much now. Connor is a bully, Brenna is a card holding member of doormats anonymous and the pair of them did my nut in. Add to that the constant changing of POV's between paragraphs with no warning and I am done.I just can't put myself through any more of this so DNF @43%

I whole-heartedly ADORED THIS BOOK! 💖💖💖 Much like The Bride I found myself laughing and smiling throughout this one. Brenna was so funny and Connor was such a lovable jerk. I loved their conversations and how they would talk in circles. It was so funny; I just love Julie Garwood's humour! There were also many notable secondary characters I really enjoyed. And of course, it was so nice to see Alec and Jaimie again. How cute was their daughter, Grace!?I can't wait to reread this series!Rating: 5/5...

While I liked this one too I didn't like it as much as the first one. The heroine was just to much of a push over trying to please people and it bugged me but other than that a cute read!

So it happened... I found a book by Julie Garwood that I didn't love. Not that it was bad, it was just not up to par with the other Garwood books I've read.The Wedding starts with 10-year-old Highlander Connor MacAlister promising his dying father to avenge his death by finding out and killing the ones who betrayed him. This promise basically defines Connor's whole life then and determines the course of his actions throughout the story. 16 years later, Connor's quest for revenge makes him steal

Even when you hate parts of it, it's hard not to love...I forgot how annoying Connor was in the beginning. Well, he was annoying but also, after listening for the 50 billionth time, I recognised his silliness in thinking he could avoid love. Cracks me up when blokes think they can do the whole meaningless sex thing indefinitely.Brenna is still my favourite part of The Wedding and the reason I keep coming back for revisits.I can't get enough of Julie Garwood's historical romances. **********Yep,

The Wedding managed to make its way up into the ranks of Garwood books that earned a five star rating. Why? Because this book took me from laughing hysterically, to being angry enough for my blood pressure to shoot up (or so my throbbing temples testified to), to being so sad I wanted to cry. Also, it's just darn entertaining.I've read many, many romance novels in my thirty-some years, and Julie Garwood has a way of writing singular heroines, like no other author. On first glance, they seem too

LOVED this book!!

2.5 starsI wasn’t a huge fan of this one or I guess my historical romance fever has finally been broken and I’m now ready to go back to the 21st century books.The heroine was just a pushover and I prefer my HR heroines to be sassy and spirited. This one annoyed the hell out of me. I didn’t like the hero at all. He’s so freakin obtuse. I kept hoping for a change in his personality but it never came. I also couldn’t feel any chemistry between the heroine and the hero. I couldn’t see how they love

Julie Garwood at her finest. This is probably one of my favorite books of all time. I loved Brenna and I LOVED Connor. I think I've probably read this book 50 times. I wish Garwood still wrote like this.

Deliver me from witless heroines and ignorant heroes. Considering this a bodice ripper for my Year Long Historical Romance Challenge. One of the hardest categories for me...I shall admit it. Series: I believe it is. Sexy times: Meh. Plan on reading more by the author: At times I consider it. After this one? meh. Synopsis: Skipping this. I know you are all capable of looking at the publisher synopsis. And really, what else do I have to add but meh. Heroine: Brenna. Good lord. This woman. No real...

3.25 starsim of the opinion that this one didnt hold a candle to its predecessor, but it was real nice to see characters from book 1 as cameos in this one. thats literally the *only* content of this book that i lived for.i wasnt much a fan of the h. she was kinda a pushover, and i didnt like her tendency to placate and lie rather than be honest and say what was on her mind. i think the H was too focused on his revenge that it cost the readers the chemistry between him and the h that i honestly c...

I really loved The Bride and was really disappointed by The Wedding. 2.5 starsThe book gets 2.5 stars because :1 Brenna tried to be clever to get her way. I say tried, because it didn't happen as often as I expected.2 The scene with the wedding vows. I hope the book had more banter and a defiant Brenna.“She will honor me, protect me, obey me only when she believes I’m being reasonable—but I shouldn’t hold out hope that that day will ever come—try to love me before she’s an old woman, and I’d bet...

Amazing and enjoyable Loved everything ,the characters,the plot absolutely everything ,they were so different but the chemistry was so high he was the brooding and silent type she was bubbly , sweet and kind person there was so many funny times (she is hilarious) , the sex was HOT , and the epilogue was short but sweet ❤ Loved it

This is my favourite Romance book. ever.The reason is simple, I love the two main characters with all my heart.Why are they different from other Julie Garwood characters? I... don't know for sure, but maybe it has something to do with their history.Our heroine, Brenna, had somewhat of a decent home life. Maybe not perfect, but she's not abused. Connor has a life-long ambition to avenge his father. And when they met for the first time (a bit of an age gap, I think, but not mentioned) Brenna propo...

Reread. And as always Julie Garwood delivers. So wish we had a historical romance author for our time like her. Miss her writing and characters so much.Loved both characters and story line. A tad bit slow in small portions of the books but all in all a wonderful read.

Ahhh can't say enough how majestic and real Scotland feels. Julie Garwood's vividness brings this beautiful country into our homes and imagination. I swear at times I wanted to string Connor MacAlister up by his short hairs. He's rude, assholish, manipulative and a jerk, another words a typical man. When he forced Brenna to give up the memory of her family and childhood possessions her siblings had given her, I could have strangled him on the spot. But yet the high handed highlander was special,...

The Bride followed by The Wedding are, in my opinion, Garwood's best work. If you are new to Garwood, these 2 books are a great place to start. Julie Garwood is different than most of the romance authors that I read in the fact that I find myself loving her heroines even more than her heroes! I usually read romance novels for the larger than life men they ususally come with, but Garwood's Ladies steal the show. In The Wedding, Brenna is one of those "show stealers". This character is so refreshi...
