I can’t think of a better way to commemorate the first day of summer than by finishing a book! Yes, I finished Love, Lucy this afternoon. As it was an autobiography, I could almost hear the voice of the late comedienne Lucille Ball as if she were alive and sitting in the room with me, telling me her story. And what a story it was! I’d definitely recommend it, and I actually have! In one of the Facebook groups I’m part of. That being said, I’m shifting my focus back to fictional romance with 2 of author Julie Garwood’s novels, The Bride and The Wedding!
Summary of The Bride: By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice was Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison… A feisty, violet – eyed beauty. Alec ached to touch her, to tame her, to possess her…forever. But Jamie vowed never to surrender to this highland barbarian. He was everything her heart warned against – an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks spoke of savage pleasures. And though Kincaid’s scorching kisses fired her blood, she brazenly resisted him… Until one rapturous moment quelled their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatened to conquer her senses…
Summary of The Wedding: Journeying from England Scotland to wed a highlander, Lady Brenna had resigned herself to the arranged match. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captured her en route, she fearlessly met their demand to marry their leader— The quick tempered laird Connor MacAlister. She couldn’t know that her capture with merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor’s sworn enemy. Brenna harbored no illusions that her husband was in love with her; after a hasty forest wedding, MacAlister assured her she could return home once she had borne him a son. But she could not deny that she had once proposed to MacAlister—ten years ago, when she was just a child, and the visitor to her father’s castle charmed her with his dazzling, unexpected smile. Now, as she sets out to win the brave chieftain whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war— and only her faith in her gallant hero can save her…
I can only imagine that it must be every girl's dream to have a summer filled with romance, a dream I can guarantee will come true as I embark on both parts of my “Journey Through A Book” between today and the end of September, the official start of Autumn!
