Good premise and fun side characters. Romance was good, but not great, as they basically fell in love at first sight but then played will-they-won’t-they the entire time. All the hallmarks of a typical Scottish romance book, but had some good unique pieces (social anxiety, woman with hobbies that are kept, etc.). Spice was good, kept me entertained the entire book.

A noiva do capitão também é um livro que eu queria ler a muito tempo, desde 2020, quando eu amava ler livros do mesmo gênero. Porém, esse fui deixando de lado. E esse ano para poder concluir uma missão de uma maratona que estou participando resolvi ler ele.
Apesar de tido alta expectativas com esse livro, já que ele é de um gênero que gosto bastante, acabei não gostando tanto da história. Senti que faltou um pouco de romance e tudo ficou girando no mesmo lugar, sendo que a autora poderia ter trabalhado mais o romance do capitão com a Madeline, por ter a questão das cartas e dela ter inventado ele para poder fugir da sociedade. Mas a autora só focou na questão da consumação do casamento e deles negociando sobre o castelo.
Além disso, os personagens não me conquistaram. Achei a Madeline um pouco chata e cansativa durante a leitura, parecia que ela não tinha nenhuma outra personalidade além de ser desenhista. E apesar da autora ter tentado trazer uma personagem que seria diferente de outras moças de sua época, buscando ter um emprego e fugindo da sociedade, acabou que não me conquistou, senti que ela era mais do mesmo.
Logan também não me conquistou, esperava bem mais dele na história. Ele parecia uma cópia do Jame Fraser, mas sem todo o charme dele.
Queria ter gostado mais da história, mas não consegui e não sei se vou ler os outros livros da trilogia.

Me gustó mucho y me hizo sentir que el amor existe, a no perder las esperanzas hermanas. Es verdad lo que dicen, el libro se pierde un poco en la mitad y aburre un poco, pero el final lo remonta bastante bien, así que no me quejo tanto.
Si buscan leer un lindo romance historico, Tessa Dare siempre va a ser de las mejores opciones.

I received a copy of When a Scot Ties the Knot for an honest review.
Maddie has social anxiety and will do anything to avoid being in the public eye or center of attention, so she creates the perfect man. A Scottish Captain who she met on the beach and who she wants to be with forever. She writes letters to him and tells her whole family a deep story about their romance, and then she kills him off. A couple years later Maddie’s alone in a Highland castle studying and drawing bugs and lobsters when a big Scottish man claiming to be her Captain Logan MacKenzie. Logan has just come home from the war he’s been serving in for ten years. Receiving Maddie’s letters were one of the only things he’s lived for and with his soldiers in arms having nowhere to go he blackmails Maddie into marrying him for her estate so his men will have somewhere to live. Maddie and Logan have an instant attraction, and try to fight it for most of the book, but they’re absolutely adorable together and get a happy ending I think they both deserved.
Maddie is a definite geek. She’s into bugs, drawing mating cycles, and helping learn more about life in general. She has a huge phobia of people and crowds and wants nothing to do with them. She’s also never been courted so she has no idea if any man thinks she’s beautiful and has a poor self image of herself which she does overcome and isn’t an annoying aspect of the book. Maddie and Logan do not hit it off right away, but she learns to respect and love him and in term she does the same for herself. I defineitly adored Maddie and while she seems a bit niave sometimes it suits her character and made me like her more.
Logan is a really sweet guy who thinks he’s a heartless jerk. He grew up with nothing and was abandoned by his mother. After joining the military and getting the letters he felt like he belonged somewhere and that somewhere is with unsuspecting Maddie. Now Logan comes off as a jerk, but once he explains why he does what he does you can tell he doesn’t try to do anything to be cruel he just wants to take care of his men. Logan is a great character and a perfect man for Maddie, plus he wears a kilt (enough said).
When a Scot Ties the Knot is definitely a humorous, adorable, and romantic story that will leave you thinking (awww).

Me encanta la romántica histórica, sobre todo del periodo de Regencia o victoriano... sin embargo, era muy reticente a leer sobre la temática highlander, no sé por qué porque mira que me gusta Outlander (la serie, no los libros). Pero por un motivo u otro no conseguía interesarme hasta que @marie.saville compartió su opinión sobre esta novela y me fie de ella (básicamente porque mucho de lo que comparte es de gustos parecidos a los míos) ¡Y cuanto me alegro de haber animado a leerla! Pues esta es una novela que te deja el corazón calentito y con uno de esos protagonistas masculinos que enamoran.
Creo que lo más interesante de esta novela es la forma en la que está planteada la trama, pues todo empieza con un romance ficticio. Nuestra protagonista, tímida patológica, decide inventarse un novio ficticio para evitar ir a los compromisos sociales a los que debe ir toda moza en busca de marido. Durante meses y años le escribe cartas a este capitán ficticio hasta que un día tiene que poner fin a la ficción.... todo iba bien con su mentira hasta que la ficción se convierte en realidad y el resto.... pues el resto ya podéis imaginarlo.
Dos cosas me han chirriado... la primera es que la protagonista parece enamorarse nada más ver al capitán Mackenzie. Y aunque es cierto que ella ya "lo conocía" por el tema de las cartas, no deja ser cierto que el de las cartas era un hombre falso. No sé, todo me pareció muy "insta-love" y poco creíble. Y tampoco me terminó de convencer la trama dramática final.
Por lo demás es una novela muy, muy recomendable y ya tengo en mi lista los otros libros de la serie.
