Reread #2 (3/20/2021) This book still has the best female friendship ever! The wedding scene was hilarious. Iain and Judith are the best and I love them so much. The plot is perfect and I enjoyed the underlying feminism subplot in it. It was all just so good and so entertaining and I’m pretty sure I’ll reread it and enjoy it many times again! Definitely one of my all time favourite HRs!!
5 stars
Now there’s something worth mentioning about this book, male heroes in HRs have some kind of reputation, but the hero in this one was, dare I say, sweet? Iain totally took me by surprise. He’s that alpha headstrong highlander who still have a soft spot for Judith.
I loved Judith. She was so freakin amusing and outspoken. I loved how she made a home for herself and how she fought for the women in the clan. The friendship between her and Frances Catherine was the best! These two made me jealous with how such great friends they are.
The book was so addicting to read. I was glued to my seat till I finished it. The dialogues were hilarious. I loved the feminist subplot and how lain was supporting Judith and her decisions. I loved all the side characters, they were amazing. This was such a cute fun HR that made me laugh and swoon a lot. I can already see myself reading it again.

Thank you so much, Melanie! xx
Just picked this book up and I'm so excited! I loved that we got a glimpse into their childhood and could see how inseparable the two girls were right from the start!
Omg I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about it. I loved this book so much! I’ve been thinking about reading it again for a while now. It was the beginning of my Julie Garwood’s obsession. I really hope you end up enjoying it as well. xx
Omg it was such a good book!! I fell in love with just about every character and the storyline was so heart-warming. I really enjoyed the positive message it portrayed in the end! I haven't read many books from this genera, but I have no idea why because they're so great! I'm definitely obsessed with this author as well and I'm going to pick up some more of her books. Do you have any recommendations? xx You should definitely read the book again so we can gush over it together!! xx
yesss!!! Omg I’m so happy you loved it!! This comment made me so happy! You’re so right all the characters were great and the storyline was just so perfect and so addicting! And the message at the end? Just Waw! I’m glad you loved the author and I can’t wait for you to read more of her books so I can have someone to share my obsession with, lol! I loved every book I read by her except one I think, which I hated so much I can’t even remember it’s name, lol. Some of my favorites are the bride, honor’s splendor, and the gift (which I’m planing to reread this month because I’ve been craving some pirate romance and this one was just so good!) I’m so excited for you to try more of her books! And I really hope you enjoy whatever you pick! xx
