You know that whole "I don't read Scottish, or Irish" stories much? Yeah, this year seems to have quite a few already... including today's Rachel’s Random Resources blog tour guest! It features a Historical Romance with a rather curious start that will take you through many emotions in no time flat, all while seeking out that happily ever after, whether the characters like it or not! Ladies and gents, may I present....
Conveniently Wed to the Laird

About the book...
The laird’s bridal bid…
Is love too high a price to pay?
When new laird, Ewan Stewart, comes across a wife for sale at a market, he outbids everyone to rescue her. He never intended for Catriona to become his bride, but a convenient marriage could secure his clan’s future and her freedom. They agree that their arrangement must stay free of love, yet Catriona’s bravery and fire intrigue him. Can Ewan resist falling for his wife—the one rule he must not break?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ewan and Catriona.
Two souls that may never have crossed paths, if it weren't for a timely trip with his sister to the milliner, and a need to stretch his legs. Smart happens next could be written off as mere happenstance, but I dare you to try. There's too much right moment momentum, too much fate showing its cards, too much a heinous buffoon "disposing" of the only thing he has worth money because she rebuffed him. Thank goodness Ewan was in the right place at this moment, and followed his inner compass without a moments despair because I shudder to think what might have happened otherwise. His lack of hesitation speaks volumes about the man behind the title, as does he care and further pursuit of Mrs Gordon. They may have started at very different places, but the ember that burns between them is ready and waiting to ignite!
It was wonderful to see a strong female lead with such a devastating background find her footing, and go after her heart's desire. It was equally amazing to see the walls that our Laird Stewart built round his heart, crumble like so many discarded cravats put on in haste. Their chemistry was undeniable, but their stories, their histories were what made them who they are, and held them remember who they want to be. Seeing them both reach for the freedom they long desired, possibly finding it in one another, was pure magic. A great addition to your must read list to wile away an afternoon in the beautiful highlands.
