Lydia is the youngest and only unmarried one of the four lasses of Clan Clyde. A prolific reader of romance books, she dreamed of marrying for love and having a marriage like any one of her sisters. Imagine her surprise when Murdoch Nairn, Laird of Clan Lochlann, showed up demanding that a betrothal agreement signed by the former Lairds of Clan Clyde and Clan Lochlann, be honored. The Council of Clan Lochlann had been pressuring Murdoch to remarry after the death of his wife. Although he had a son from that union, they threatened to replace him as Laird unless he married and produced a second heir. Since it was rumored that he had killed his previous wife, no lady wanted to wed him. At the behest of the Council, an old betrothal agreement was uncovered, and Murdoch set off to collect Nora, his bride-to-be. When he discovered that she was already married, he insisted that Lydia come to Lochlann Castle to get to know his clan and him better, and they would marry in one month’s time. Upon arrival, Lydia became fast friends with Murdoch’s cousin Wilma, and fell in love with Finn, Murdoch’s toddler son. Although there was significant chemistry between them, Lydia’s desire to know more about his past led to squabbles and disappointment. Then danger and betrayal set them on a new course. This is a fitting finale to this series. Each sister has a minor role to play, and the unique way in which they met their husbands is recapped. You will find seductive whispers and steamy kisses, along with hot tempers and vicious rumors. Although this tale follows a familiar pattern, the dialogue is crisp, the characters are believable, and the story is engaging and emotionally satisfying.

Meant to be.

I loved this book. Murdoch, laird of clan Lochlann is plagued by rumors that he killed his first wife. That has made it all but impossible to find another wife to help raise his son. But his council is pushing him to wed or be removed as laird. When an old betrothal contract to a daughter of clan Clyde surfaces, he has his chance for a bride. Unfortunately, the lass he was betrothed to is already wed and he demands to wed Lydia, the only unwed daughter. Lydia, like her older sisters, can be stubborn and she has something to prove. She agrees to the betrothal on her terms. But there are hidden sinister forces at play bent on ending any hope Murdoch has for a future. I loved the characters new and old, the storyline, the struggles, and the passion.

wonderful Read

I can’t get enough of this author. I found this book to be extremely heartfelt. I was rooting for both Murdoch and Lydia. There’s always a rotten Frumper in the bunch that thinks THEY should be in charge. Boo Hoo. Life’s not all about you. Sometimes I want to punch the antagonist myself. I enjoyed the storyline of this book as well as the entire series. I immerse myself in the story and often feel like I know each person. It makes me want to go back to Scotland even more.
I’m looking forward to reading the next series so I can take a staycation without leaving my chair! Start reading. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

When he learns about an old contract between rivaled clans, he goes to secure his bride only to find that she is already married which leaves the youngest sister. Tis starts Murdoch and Amy's path one that is filled with intriguing twists and turns that had me connecting with these two. Will their union lead them along the path to a happily ever after.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I really like how reasonable they are with each other & how Murdoch valued her for being strong & standing up to him while also was so kind with finn & how Lydia could see how honorable Murdoch is & it was nice to see more of her sisters & I enjoyed the closeness Murdoch & Lydia had from the beginning & the way they both made an effort with one another. I do wish chapter 27 & 28 had been switched & they had been a little more at the end. But it's was a cute story & enjoyable

Sisters

Murdoch was having trouble with his Council members about not having a wife or more heirs when he finds out there was already a marriage contract. He goes to Clan Clyde to claim his betrothed and finds that she is already married with a bairn. So only sister left is the youngest Lydia whom he claims. There is a lot of things that happen with the couple and the Clan before this story ends.

Lots of fun!

The family of sisters & their husbands are a scream! Murdoch & Finn are a fun challenge to know. Lydia is certainly the baby of the family of sisters. Murdoch has a lot to put up with. She was not my favorite but fit the part! I’m 1st born so not tolerant of spoiled….. Enjoy spending time with this family!

The Highland Wolf gets a wife

What I liked was the Liars always getting in trouble by being so small minded when it came to talking with his wife to be. It was cute how his cousin kept him in line. When they decided to marry everyone was there. All the town people and all the clans near and far. A good book enjoy.

Great Scot

The series the lasses of Clan Clyde has been most enjoyable. Starting with their escape from their brutal cousin,to each of their lives leading to their marriages. All the sisters are very different individuals, but each is hrave and independent.

Murdoch and Lydia

A forceful contract of marriage, a reluctant groom, a bride who wanted a marriage for trust and love, a sinister plot against the Laird. Mischief and mayhem, murder, attempted murder, then through it all was a happily ever after.

just ok

My least favorite in the series …. Lydia’s character was awful… I know she was young, but good lord what a bloody immature pain in the arse she was the whole book…. Murdoch should have taken back, he and Finn would have been better off…

This was a great 1 night read

From the very start this book had me wanting to finish it. The characters were well written And you H4The plot was 1 that is about like life in general. Wanting for more power and more prestige. Sometimes the things we think might be bad are actually better for us and this proves with this case of atrocol that was years later fulfilled.
