The Laird Takes a Bride by Lisa BerneMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Laird Takes a Bride, the second Penhallow Dynasty novel by author Lisa Berne, is vastly different than the first novel in the series, You May Kiss the Bride, in the best way. From the beginning, I was hooked on the characters of Fiona Douglass and Alasdair Penhallow, and couldn't wait to see how they got to their happily-ever-after.
It was another long, kind of winding story, similar to the first, however the characters felt much more fleshed out and three-dimensional, which made all the difference. Berne gave the reader perspectives from both protagonists both together and apart, which was great at developing them into real people.
An archaic clan law stipulates that Alasdair Penhallow, the laird, must wed one of the unmarried daughters of the clans. Fiona Douglass is one of those daughters, and has no interest in marrying the laird. A series of events take place (along with some truly well-written banter by Berne) that lead to Fiona being the only choice available, so reluctantly they wed.
What follows is a series of ups and downs in their relationship that will leave your head spinning, culminating in a very satisfying happily-ever-after. Would recommend.
