Product Description
Only a master could top the stunning success of For the Roses, and Julie Garwood has proven once again why she "attracts readers like beautiful heroines attract dashing heroes" (USA Today) with this joyous New York Times bestseller. Returning to the enchanting world of her classic The Bride, she brings the soaring adventure, love and rivalry of medieval Scotland to glorious life in a delightful tale her fans will adore. Journeying from England to 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 was 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...

 cassette/narrator difficulty May 25, 2010
L. Furst (Virginia Beach, VA. USA)
The cassette was for someone who had read the book "the wedding" by Julie Garwood numerous times and knew the story by heart. She was disappointed with the narrator and felt she did not do the book justice. There was no way for anyone to know that she would not like the narrator. The seller was very good in sending the cassette promptly and I was pleased to have it before Mother's Day. I would purchase from this seller again.
 A nice novel! January 2, 2010
A. Labno (Illinois, USA)
The next book in the series presented again men with honor and faith.
Again the book had an amazing ending. I wish that many writers would be writing the endings like she does. But again I wish there would a bit more to the story and the love scenes not so trashy.
The humor the writer is using sometimes in her stories is enlighting.

This was my first book by this author and I must say that I enjoyed it. Connor steals your heart, Brenna started out annoying to me but then she warms her way to your heart. The way characters unfolded, the betrayal, the romance this book was a GREAT READ. It made me laugh, and cry lol
Garwood's best series.... April 9, 2009

The Bride followed by The Wedding are, in my opinion, Garwood's best work. If you are new to Garwood, these 2 books are a great place to start.
Julie Garwood is different than most of the romance authors that I read in the fact that I find myself loving her heroines even more than her heroes! I usually read romance novels for the larger than life men they ususally come with, but Garwood's Ladies steal the show.
In The Wedding, Brenna is one of those "show stealers". This character is so refreshing that I wanted to name our "first born" after her! Now that is some serious writing power Ms. Garwood!
Brenna is "quirky" but so much fun! She is beautiful, but humble. She has a large appetite for food and isn't afraid to use it. She is honest with her affections and doesn't mind giving her unapproachable husband public displays of affection. She is loyal and loving...whether it's to her horse or her husband. She isn't prideful, but tells Connor exactly how she feels in direct and clear ways. In one part of the story, Connor believes that in the "morning after" she will be so shocked at his behavior in the bedroom that "out of courtesy" he has her moved out of his bedroom. Brenna is maddened by this an confronts her intimidating husband without apology to get moved back into his bedroom. She had me laughing, shocked, and respecting her throughout the book.
Connor is the quintessential Garwood hero. Tortured, but not overly so. Powerful, but not to much so. Attractive, and very much so! However, the real gem in this book is Brenna who holds so much power without ever knowing it or wanting it. I loved her.

"The Wedding
by Julie Garwood
Narrated by Steven Crossley
Julie Garwood has ten New York Times best-sellers to her credit.
With each book,
she attracts growing legions of fans who hail her as one of the best romance writers of today.
In The Wedding,
she weaves an enchanting tale of passionate love and fierce ambition.
Early in the twelfth century,
strong-willed Lady Brenna is on her way to an arranged marriage when she is kidnapped.
Within hours,
she is wed to Connor MacAlister,
who is resplendent in war paint and full of zeal for his band of warriors who roam the windswept heaths of Scotland.
Brenna immediately feels trapped between her desire to be free and her attraction to the fierce MacAlister.
But as the days pass, she is astonished to discover that within this hardened leader lies a gentle soul that is deeply committed to his marriage and his countrymen.
In The Wedding,
JULIE GARWOOD CREATES A HEROINE WHO IS BRAVE AND FOOLHARDY,
SPIRITED AND NAIVE.
As you follow her adventures alongside her husband and his clan, she will win your heart as surely as she captures the affection of Scotland's fearless warriors.
"Julie Garwood attracts readers like beautiful heroines attract dashing heroes."
