This is a cute, sweet love story between Ross MacKay and Annabel Waverly. Ross was initially engaged to marry Annabel's sister Kate. When Kate runs off with a stable boy, Annabel is brought home by her parents from the convent where she was raised. She is immediately wed to Ross and both travel to his home in Scotland.Annabel is basically clueless about running a household, but she is immediately taken by her new, handsome husband. She is very innocent but shes also a fast learner. Ross is the3 Stars!! Annabel has lived at the nunnery since the age of seven, The Abbess is very cruel at times, and poor Annabel keeps getting punished for small things, and she wonders if she will ever make a good nun. Then out of the blue her mother shows up and rushes her home to marry her older sister's betrothed, laird Ross MacKay, because her sister Kate has eloped with the stable master's son. I have to say, Annabel is quite feisty, she's very funny and Ross' amusement of his wife is very sweet.
Sexy, funny, exciting... a fantastic start to this series!An English Bride in Scotland is the first book in Lynsay Sands's new series, set in the Scottish Highlands. This story delivers all the things we Highlander historical romance fans want in our reading; humor, excitement, passion, love, and hot, hunky, men in kilts. And out of kilts. Especially out of kilts. The Story -Annabel's life was decided for her when, at seven years old, her mother left her at Elstow Abbey where it was expected
I has such a big expectations for this book... :(I love Lynsay Sands' historicals such as The Deed, The Key and the Chase and I hoped this one will be like them.It is similar, but much much blander... unfortunately.Annabel could have been such an interesting character, but unfortunately she came out like a brainless, big breasted an overweighted ex-nun. Which she is. I couldn't understand why being oveweighted was such a big issue for her... I tought that in that period, a big of flesh on the
DNF @ 40 pagesDear.Lord.What.Was.That. Sometimes the dialogue was so cheesy was (unintentionally) funny....Short, no more than five feet, with a pretty face, shiny, long, wavy midnight hair and more curves than his shield. He noted all that in an instant, his eyes traveling with appreciation over each asset before settling on her eyes.For two seconds I had the mental image of a dirty old man. ugh..The book is said to take place one generation after the Crusades, but there is nothing to reinforce
I decided to dive into a historical romance as it has been quite awhile since I have read one. This one is written by Lyndsey Sands who is well known for her PNR series that feature the Argeneu family of vampires. Her historical romances include her signature humour that she writes in all her stories! Actually, that is a big factor in why I love reading her stories! She not only is able to make me laugh out loud, but also makes me swoon with her sweet heroes, and squirm with the passion between
This was my first Lynsay Sands books and Im so mad at myself for waiting so long to pick up something from her. I really enjoyed An English Bride in Scotland. I picked it up one afternoon and finished it in one sitting. I had to see how things would end for Annabel and Ross.I enjoyed Sands writing and all of the characters that we got to meet. Especially our main characters! These two had such a great relationship and the chemistry to match. They were both easy to love and really made this story
