Loved this!
Bridget is a run away bride and finds herself lost. Ewan rescues her after finding her in the woods with a twisted ankle. He provides her protection until her ankle is healed. In doing so their attraction builds into undeniable chemistry. Ewan and Bridget's interactions are sweet. I found their journey to be very romantic.
Dual POV
Standalone with Epilogue. HFN.
Safe - no cheating between the MC's, no sharing. No true OW drama. No true OM drama. Scared hero. Virgin heroine.

Bridget is the kind of girl we want to read more of! She’s been told and convinced that no one will want her because she’s bigger than other women, but that doesn’t stop her getting her romance!

Bridget was unhappy about being forced to marry Paul St. Vincent, Viscount Wrottesly, and more unhappy about the dress that her mother insisted that she wear. Shortly before the wedding was to take place she overheard her fiance telling his friend all of the reasons that he did not want to marry her. He stated that if it were not for her substantial dowry he would not think twice about walking out on her. That was when she knew that she had to escape immediately. She fled to her friend’s house, who in turn sent her to the Scotland home of Nora Thomson, the daughter of Laird MacArthur. After a stormy few weeks on a schooner, she disembarked expecting to be on the island housing MacArthur lands. Being an Englishwoman in Scottish territory led to people giving her misinformation, having her trunks stolen, and finding herself hopelessly lost in the woods. When Ewan, Laird MacCartney, found her stumbling trhough the forest, a scared Bridget sprained her ankle tripping over a root while trying to get away from him. He took her to his castle, engaged a healer for her, and told her that she could stay until her ankle healed and then she would need to move on. He did not want to battle Englishmen who were searching for her. What follows is the story of two people trying to ignore the push/pull of attraction pulsing between them. When Ewan’s Aunt Margaret threw a party in Bridget’s honor, there was an altercation between Ewan and Laird Alistair, who insisted that Ewan should be marrying his sister, not engaging with an English ‘whore’. It was not too long after that that there were rumors of an English gentleman inquiring after his betrothed. This story contains lots of conflict, familial dissention, heightened emotion, betrayal, dangerous revelations, murderous intent, surprises and steamy encounters. Character-wise, the author uses nightmares and innuendo to give us a glimpse of the horrors Ewan suffered by his father’s hand. As for Bridget’s parents, we get a firsthand view of her mother’s selfish and controlling nature, while her father uses Bridget’s love for him to manipulate her. Ava is a hoot and adorably smitten with her husband, and her mother offers Bridget all the love and support she needs. Bridget blossoms once she is away from her parents, inspiring Ewan to let go of the past and live again. You will shake your head, grit your teeth and hold your breath as you read this exciting, and sometimes exasperating tale. But beware, once you start you will be hooked and won’t want to put it down!

Worthy.
Bridget, an earl’s daughter is being forced to marry a man she does not want. When she overhears him speaking badly of her on her wedding day, she runs. Unfortunately, she ends up in Scotland on the wrong island and lost in a forest. Ewan, laird MacCartney finds her and brings her to his castle. That is when it gets interesting. Both Ewan and Bridget have flaws that keep them from getting close to others but they are somehow drawn to each other. Manipulative parents, a jilted, vengeful and greedy betrothed, angry clan neighbors, and a haunting past try to keep them apart.

I love how safe & cared for he made her feel. The way he kept going back & forth about his feelings for her & what he wanted, was a bit frustrating & I do think things got a little jampled up near the end.
They had shared insecurities & were able to help the other feel loved. the moments they had that were good & happy were really fun to read. There were some things that were said & actions that were taken in the book that I found a bit confusing, like some typos & missing parts. Though I did like how much Eva & Martha were able to help her & be like family

Scottish/English romance
This was a good book an English lass and a Scottish laird Bridget and Ewan. This story had me laughing out loud at times. Was happy to read that Bridget becoming more feisty while in Scotland. Read both books hoping there is a story about Logan in the works.

This was a very interesting story with a lot of exciting twists and turns. There were times when everything seemed to be going smoothly but then someone would enter into the picture and upset the apple cart so to speak. The author Eloise Madigan did a wonderful job writing this story.

Cette lecture n'était pas pour moi. Je ne me suis pas accrochée aux personnages principaux ni a leur relation.
Il n'y a pas vraiment d'action à mon goût dans ce livre. Tout se passe vite, ça manque de développement, même la scène de sexe est à mon goût trop vite expédiée comme s'il fallait vite en finir avec l'histoire.

This book grabbed me from the start! I couldn't put it down. The characters were well written, even the ones you didn't like. It was a total surprise to see what her family/betrothed planned for her at the end. This is one story that you don't want to miss.

The life of a highlander can be brutal but an English daughter can be the same under certain circums
This story is sad, eventful and loving even though there are so many problems with which the characters have had to deal. It's definitely worth reading.

the lass and her laird
Beautiful story of an English lass fleeing her wedding and ended up on the wrong island. The laird rescued her from a sprain ankle and the attraction between them was instantaneous. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Read
I can’t get over how totally horrible some parents are. Either one or both. This book took that abuse over the top. This author has such a gift for storytelling. I really enjoyed this book and am very curious to find out what the next one is about.

The first in the series was a quick, entertaining story with likable characters and hint of mystery. A light read.
