The Bride

10.13.2021 A re-read for Historical Hellions Book Club October 2021 Read. I listened to it this time around. Audiobook experience- 4.0 stars /4.5 stars.

This is like the third time reading this book. I physically read the books the first two times and remember really liking The Bride. This last time around... I'm not sure if it was because it was on audio, but I found myself not liking several parts of the book. It mostly had to do with Alec's behavior at points in the book. I wonder too if I had subconsciously convinced myself that a lot of these heroes are a lot more progressive for the times and therefore I allowed some of the neanderthal to peek through because they are learning to change their ways and no one is perfect all the time.

Not sure. All I know is that Julie Garwood was my introduction to Historical Romances and she created an ambiance that I needed every time I dived into her world. I might stick to reading these physically on whatever round of re-reads I choose next. Some books are better experienced that way and that is ok.
