Gehört zur ReiheClan MacKinlay (2)
After nine lonely years as her father's prisoner, Dorie McCurdy is forced to marry the new war chief of clan MacKinlay. Terrified and unwilling to speak, she imagines the worst of her handsome, imposing new husband. Bryce MacKinlay Campbell's wife and child were taken by illness years ago, and all he's wanted since is to be alone. Unfortunately, he is ordered to marry the McCurdy laird's daughter for an alliance between their clans. He's appalled by the way his bride is treated by her family when she shows up looking like a ragged, homeless waif. Bryce can provide for her needs, and offer his name, but not his heart-that will never happen again. In her husband's strong arms, Dorie slowly emerges from her silence...and gradually the ice around Bryce's heart begins to melt. But when she is unexpectedly offered an annulment, she must choose-stay with Bryce, who she's fallen in love with but who never wanted her, or choose the unknown possibilities of a different future.

A Clan MacKinley Novel #3
An arranged marriage sees widow Bryce MacKinley Campbell wed to Dorrie McCurdy. She arrives barefoot and in rags and he drags his feet to the altar. It is not a bright beginning for the two and it takes a LONG time for them to find their way to an eventual HEA. I think I preferred book one in the series but enjoyed this one, too. If you are willing to suspend belief and think of this as a fairy tale then it works.
What I liked:
* Dorrie: Even after 9 years in what was essentially solitary confinement, she seemed resilient. I might have questioned it, but I did admire her.
* Bryce: warrior, widow, mired in grief or regret or perhaps guilt. Living but not alive. He had a lot of growing to do.
* The slow coming together of the couple, although it wore after awhile
* Rascal: a brave, friendly, courageous rescue dog
* Dorrie’s biological father’s family – was on the fence for awhile about Dorien, her father
* The location and MacKinley tribe
* That the McCurdy’s received their just desserts
* That there was finally a happy ending
* Wondering who might star in book three of the series…Liam or Rory or someone else
What I didn’t like:
* The McCurdy’s
* That it took so long for Bryce to “wake up”
* That I had more trouble investing in this couple – not sure why – I wanted them to figure it out but I really wanted to sit them down, especially Bryce, and tell them to get one with things and see what was before them.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled-Amara for the ARC – This is my honest review.
