The Bride by Julie Garwood
4.0
Oh goodness, I don’t even know where to begin… The Bride was definitely a fun, entertaining read and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it (would have finished it in one sitting too if I hadn’t reached the middle well past the middle of the night lol).
As expected of Julie Garwood, The Bride was an engaging read with fantastically written characters and captivating plot. I continuously found myself absorbed by the bumpy-though-hilarious ups and downs of Jamie and Alec’s relationship that when focus was drawn back to the suspense aspect of the novel I had almost forgot it was even supposed to be there!
There were moments I wanted to wring Alec’s neck and knock some sense into that arrogant man’s head, but there were also moments when I was left wondering, “is it really possible for Jamie to be so unaware of the consequences her actions would have on Alec?” But I suppose therein lays the beauty of Ms. Garwood’s writing—her characters are well-rounded and realistically written. They can be arrogant, pigheaded, stubborn, rude, and a million other things that make them interesting people rather than boring Mary Sues.
This is definitely a feel good novel I would keep on my bookshelf.
