Tracy’s Review:
The Highlander’s Unexpected Bride by Nicole Locke
Tracy’s rating: 4 of 5 stars
Series: Lovers and Highlanders, #2
Release Date: September 26, 2023
Beileag of Clan Graham has secrets, one of those being a crush she has harbored for Hamilton, a warrior in the clan. Beileag is tall, lovely, quiet, and unassuming, yet she has never had a suitor and believes the problem lies with her. She longs to be seen and have a family of her own, hopefully with Hamilton, but when he asks her for help in wooing her friend Murdag, she has to face the fact that her love is unrequited.
Hamilton has secrets too, the biggest being that in an attempt to push his twin, Camron, into finally going after the woman he loves, has convinced him that while they were drunk, Camron made a bet with him that he would marry his love Anna before Hamilton married and that he would do it by summer’s end. To that end, Hamilton has set his sights on Anna’s sister, Murdag. He hopes the bet kills two birds with one stone, first that Camron and Anna will be happy and second that he will have his own family and hopefully that will ease the restlessness he has been feeling. But when his attempts to woo Murdag come to naught, he seeks out their friend Beileag for help. He soon realizes he has been wooing the wrong woman, but has no idea how to win Beileag without exposing his lies.
This story runs concurrently with the first book and clears up any questions that might have lingered from that book. This story is filled with bets, lies, miscommunication, insecurity, misconceptions, a bit of heartache, retribution, friends, lovers, secrets, steamyish love scenes, revelations, and finally a happy ending, complete with an epilogue. This is the second book in the series and I would recommend reading the books in order.
