About this listen

An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison - a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.

Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against - an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...

Funny--Entertaining!

A light enjoyable read/listen. Some of the dialect, etc. is a little far-fetched for the time period, but I found myself smiling a lot, and even laughed out loud. Likeable characters, and great performance by Rosalyn Landor.

In my opinion it would be a better fit under "fantasy", but whether a true depiction of the time era, or not, it was entertaining.

Rosalyn Landor was the perfect choice to narrate this book.

I would recommend it.

Excellent

Rosalyn Landor brings the characters to life and had me laughing out loud. Great story and great ending. Hopefully more of Garwoods work will be available in audio format.

Another Highlander classic!

Loved the heroine, her gentle giant of a Laird and surrounding characters to this tale. Another great period piece by Julie that is very well narrated. Recommend highly!

AWESOME!!!!

If you could sum up The Bride in three words, what would they be?

Touching, exciting, and enjoyable

What other book might you compare The Bride to and why?

I would recommend Ransom also by Julie Garwood. I loved this book. Those highland warriors and their ladies are always fun.

Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?

Jamie was my favorite but I like Alec a lot too

Loved the narration!!!!

If you could sum up The Bride in three words, what would they be?

funny, entertaining, interesting

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Oh my goodness everything!!! she just brought the book to life, loved her accent! I will be looking for more books read by her.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Made me laugh several times, enjoyed it to the fullest!!

Any additional comments?

the sexual parts were too discriptive, would have perferred there be something left to the imagination instead of going in to such detail that was the only thing I didn't like

One of my favorites!

I have listened to this book several times and I just can't get enough! I love the story and the performance of the narrator. It is easy to forget there is only one person performing the story. I highly recommend this book if you love a good story and heated romance.

Amazing story

This is my kind of book. I thoroughly enjoyed this charming and endearing romance. The story is set in the early 12th Century in Scotland when women are given to men as chattel. An English baron does not pay his taxes to King Henry and loses two daughters to the Scots as repayment. The Scots detest the English and the English think the Scots are barbarians. But one strong-willed, determined young lady manages to start wars, win hearts and unite klans. The story is engaging all the way to the end and the performance is simply amazing.
