I rounded up my initial review, and I had honestly totally forgotten I had read this! In my defense I was about ready to pop with my second kid at the time and it was four years ago when I wasn't reading as much romance as I have now.

That said, I had a rollicking good time rediscovering this classic, a romance that I've been told blooded many of my mutuals on twitter.

I did a live tweet which you can find here: #bBride20

"You've done the impossible, love. You've actually united our clans.
"You've made Andrew a very rich man."
"No, Jamie. I'm much richer. I have you."

my poor dead soul is REVIVED. #bBride20

I read this book because of [a:Sarah MacLean|1598076|Sarah MacLean|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1499444204p2/1598076.jpg]'s Read More Romance book list, which I highly recommend checking out!

Set in 1100's Scotland, Laird Alec Kincaid is forced to choose an English bride from a bevy of sisters. The father tries to hide beautiful Jamie (his favorite), but Alec discovers her and chooses her anyway, despite her clear disdain for the Scottish "barbarians" and her opinionated ways. Jamie is none too thrilled with the marriage because it is rumored that Alec's previous wife either committed suicide, or was murdered. To no one's surprise, they both fall for the other, but circumstances may cause harm to their relationship, or to Jamie herself.

I enjoyed reading this book, but you can tell it is a bit "older" than my normal choices. Jamie is a strong heroine, but there was still a lot of "Oh no, don't do that but of course I really mean yes" moments. Still, there were some fun moments.
