    About this audiobook

    In only six weeks, Isla Ramsey is due to marry Henry Northrup, the sixth Earl of Sydney. But she remains haunted by memories of the dashing Hugh Courtney, the Marquess Pierce. The handsome aristocrat had hinted at forever and then tossed her aside, leaving Isla with few viable options. Now, as she awaits her new fiance's arrival from London, she rides her horse past Hugh's estate at Hazelwood every day, pining for a man who was never truly hers.

    Hugh Courtney may have left Isla's life, but he can't erase her from his thoughts. When he rescues her from a sudden snowstorm, they are forced to take shelter together at his private estate. In such close quarters there is no escaping each other. Yet no man wants a reckless wife-or a woman promised to another. As fate draws Isla further into his world, Hugh vows to keep her out of his bedchamber. However, some vows are meant to be broken . . .

      Loved this story. I was rooting for Luc and Sydney. Lovely book
    • 4/5
      Isla Ramsey is due to marry Henry Northrup in six weeks but she's distracted by Hugh Courtney. It's a terrible winter and Henry is due to visit so she rides out to see if he's coming only to get lost in a snowstorm, rescued by Hugh and forced to spend some time in his house where the attraction builds. Meanwhile Henry is involved in an accident and has to face up to the truth about himself and honestly his romance is a better one of the two, even if the book is ostensibly about Isla.Enjoyable story of two romances, one M/M
    • 3/5
      A bit unlikely feeling, but nothing preposterous really, just awfully convenient circumstances when desired. I liked the steam between the m/f couple, but I felt like I could point to more things between the m/m couple of what they actually liked about the other. I believe that because chapters were divided up between all four of them, each story felt a bit rushed, 0-'soulmate love' for four people pretty much in three days. The m/m couple's intimate scenes are fade to black, if that influences anyone one way or the other.

      Much ado!I rather felt like I was plucking daisies and reciting "he loves me he loves me not", from all sides of the gender spectrum. There was certainly plenty of confusion, a tidy sum of mayhem particularly if the dog Brute was involved, and a lot of not quite answered questions.A plethora of persons betrothed, all to the wrong people, and that's where things became a tad confusing.We have Isla Ramsey who was in love with Hugh Courtney, the Marquess Pierce who let her down. Isla's now betrothed to Henry Northrup, the sixth Earl of Sydney to avoid a scandal. Sydney, who's not in love with Isla, who (in modern terms) is gay and a wonderful character in love with no one thus far. Pierce whose actually. it seems, in love with Isla (against his better judgement) but engaged to Julianna for some very good reasons. We have Lucas who rescues Sydney after a bad carriage accident, and that's where things take a decidedly skewed note. In terms of romance, I found Sydney and Lucas's to be the most real. (Anna Bradley's comment about characters taking on a life of their own in a recent romantic journal Romantic Intentions edition was fascinating.)So sorting out all these relationships takes up a great deal of the novel before all are rewarded with their HEA.A NetGalley ARC

      The Wayward Bride by Anna BradleyBesotted Scots #1In which everyone seems to be betrothed to the wrong person for the right reasons and in love with someone else BUT eventually all finally end up with the right person – their own and only true love… What I liked: * the complexity of the story* the sweetness of Luke and Sydney together* Brute – the bear/dog* the selflessness of many* the caring* familyWhat I didn’t like: * hmm….thinking about this...perhaps the miscommunication between Hugh and Islsa* the angst...though a little really had to be expected since so many were not happy…* the pressure put on Juliana...really thought she might end up with the still single brother of Isla but see she is to end up with someone else as the blurb for her book is out alreadyDid I enjoy this book? YesDo I want to read more in this series? YesNOTE: This does have a M/M romance through half the book so...heads up if that is not your thingThank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Lyrical Press for the ARC – this is my honest review. 4-5 Stars
