Search - The Bride

One of my all-time favorite historical romances. Even if you are not a fan of romance novels, I bet you'll enjoy this one!

A great book from Garwood with all the romantic and witty charm she's known for. A nice fun and fast read.

The above review will tell you it is a great story.

I'm probably the only person alive who just doesn't appreciate Garwood's writing style. I enjoyed the story somewhat, but I was constantly confused by the almost cartoony behavior, the conflicting ideas (was Jamie the most loved or the most abused daughter?) the mercurial changes in mood of both the hero and the heroine - and I felt this way about the other Garwood books I read. And yet reviews rave about this book and this author and it's on the All About Romance Top 100 books for 2007, so obviously most people not only "get it" but love it.

So maybe I'm not the person who should review this book, but in case there are others out there who don't find her writing style appealing, you are not alone. Or, as I said, maybe I am the only one. It's not a comforting thought. I gave the book 3 stars anyway because I didn't hate it, I just... don't like her writing style.
