Revisiting the historicals that got me into romance in honor of Julie Garwood https://youtu.be/K6V_gEDiyZc
#LittensLoveRomance I was so sad to hear that one of my absolute favourite authors passed away this month. I have spent countless hours with Julie over the years and I feel as though I‘ve lost a friend. I feel as though she was one of the best for Scottish historical romances. I‘m planning on going back to reread her catalogue as tribute.
Reading The Bride because the Heaving Bosoms podcast is reading it. So far my reaction is mixed, but I'm overall enjoying it.
On my hook : doing a test crochet of a tank top from Crochet Highway.

My stack of pocket books 📚- I bought most of them at the book sale earlier this month. I have been looking for the tagged book thanks to a very positive review #blameitonLitsy #romantsy - I saw the JR Ward books and decided it‘s time to try the popular series
This was such a delight! Historical romance between a Scottish Laird from the Highlands and an English Lady. Set in 1102 during the reign of King Henry and King Edgar. I loved the clashing of two different worlds and the way Alec and Jamie had to really work at finding common ground. Also loved all of the historical bits. I listened to the audiobook for well over half of the book and loved it-Rosalyn Landor narrates with beautiful accents.
I loved this book!! At times I found the characters a little hard to relate with - they would feel one way yet their words would express another and it was a little frustrating. But the story was so compelling to me, I found it hard to put down! The characters eventually give in to their love of one another and I loved how they got along after that!
One thing that bugs me about the cover is the split of the word “spellbinding” -drives me nuts! 😂
#wanderingjune #castleonthehill @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB Here are some great Scottish Highland romances by Julie Garwood. They definitely have castles, on hills. The picture got cut off, but I‘ve included my husband‘s Mitchell tartan and whiskey that we picked up in Scotland this summer.
This is my favorite historical romance! I discovered it nine years ago and listen to it all the time! The audiobook is awesome!
She didn‘t dare offer Mary any #sympathy, knowing that a firm hand was needed now. #QuotsyJan19
Sitting back reading The Bride on the plane.. very happy to escape to the highlands for a few hours. A great day for a swoony comfort read. #romantsy
This book makes me want to sit the author down and ask her what the hell was she thinking. The "hero", Alec, is a smug, condescending alpha male who thinks he needs to constantly remind his airhead bride Jamie of her "place" as a woman. I hate romance fiction with such horrible sexist cliches.
While this book picked up in the second half, it still took me a while to get into it. I also found it cheesy and very predictable. I did however, grow to like Jamie and even Alec at some parts!
I've heard such great things about this book so it's time to branch out and try a new author! Can't wait! 💜
