Tracy’s Review:

The Highlander’s Bridal Bid by Nicole Locke

Tracy’s rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Series: Lovers and Highlanders, #1

Release Date: November 29, 2022

Anna of Clan Graham has not had an easy time in the last few years. Her mother died not long after birthing Anna’s brother, leaving a young Anna to raise her younger sister and brother. She devoted her life to them and believed that no one would ever want her. But then she met Alan Maclean and fell hard. She believed he was her future and gave him her heart and everything else. But she was not the only lass Alan was wooing and he shattered not only her heart, but her trust.

Camron of Clan Graham has been in love with Anna Graham for most of his life, but the time has never been right to pursue her. Being five years her junior was his first hurdle, then when he felt old enough to approach her, it seemed like she had found love with another. Faced with losing his chance with her, Camron tried to forget her and spent the next few years training and scouting for the clan. But now he is back and Anna is once again free, having had her heart broken. He decides that now is the time, especially after a night spent drinking with his twin brother Hamilton ends in a bet about who will marry first. He is sure he can win her, as long as she never learns of the wager…

This was a well-written, nicely-paced story of longing, love, and trust. This novel was a delight to read, I loved Camron’s dedication to winning Anna and his interactions with his brother. Anna was a bit harder to like, she has been hurt and trust is hard for her to give, which made her seem a bit shrewish. But her love for her family, especially her younger brother whose foot is misshapen and has made it hard for him to fit in with the other boys in the clan. She truly has a heart of gold, but betrayal left it a bit tarnished, lucky for her Camron would love nothing more than to be the man to bring back her shine. This is the first book in a new series and besides giving the reader a beautiful love story, we are given glimpses of the next book and possibly a third! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would happily recommend it, especially for medieval and High-Middle Ages of Scotland lovers.
