The Enchanted Bride
Her father's will was clear. Jewel MacKenzie had to marry within a year of his death or lose her beloved ancestral home. Determined to preserve her clan's heritage and maintain her independence, the Scottish beauty spurned the eligible bachelors in the Grampian Mountains. Never one to lose herself in visions of living happily ever after, she chose to wed Tor Cameron—a worthless convict who wouldn't dare challenge her authority in business or in bed.
Tor was everything Jewel needed in a husband: He was strong enough to perform hard labor in her distillery and shrewd enough to appease the female-hating businessmen who bought her family's whiskey. But Jewel didn't count on the unexpected yearning her virile husband roused in her untouched heart. And when secrets from Tor's past came to light, Jewel faced a danger that might leave her lonely and miserable—or blissfully content as...The Enchanted Bride.

About the author
Ellen Tanner Marsh
31 books29 followersEven though Ellen was born in Germany, she was raised in New Jersey (insert Jersey joke here). That’s probably why she suffered extreme culture shock when her family moved to South Carolina when she was sixteen.
After all, it's hard to be uprooted from a pretty colonial town, say goodbye to lifelong friends, and be dragged 800 miles south by your parents. Ellen freely admits that the transformation from Jersey Girl to Southern Belle was a rocky one.
But steeped in history, the Lowcountry of South Carolina is the perfect place for a writer to live, because Charleston’s gorgeous historic houses, cobblestone streets, and moss-draped gardens serve as the ultimate “romance laboratory.”
So 40 years later has Ellen acclimated to living here? "Heck yeah, y’all."

I found this book very annoying: I liked the characters except that they kept behaving foolishly and kept lying in unproductive and cowardly ways. Additionally, the last few chapters were mostly terrible. The last chapter did end sufficiently well. Overall, this book had two star sections mixed with four-star sections which led me to grudgingly give a three.
