Set in a time when marriage is a means to title or wealth,
THE BRIDEGROOM WORE PLAID is a heartwarming story about
being torn between your heart and the responsibilities to
family. Scotsman Ian MacGregor has fallen into his title
of Earl of Balfour; a position that he feels leaves him no
choice but to marry for money in order to take care of the
MacGregor family and lands. In Ian's eyes, selecting a
bride based upon her wealth and tolerating that she is of
English decent is a small price to pay for security. When
his prospective bride and entourage arrive at Balfour, Ian
puts his attention on one of the chaperones, Miss Augusta
Merrick, with hopes befriending her will get him one
step closer to the altar.
Poor and labeled a spinster by the family, Augusta Merrick
has accepted her role as chaperone in a journey to further
her uncle's ambitions for a title. Despite her best
intentions, she is drawn to the handsome and honorable
Scotsman that is unsuccessfully attempting to court her
cousin. Although aiding him will most likely cause her
turmoil in the end, she will forever have the memories of
their time spent together.
THE BRIDEGROOM WORE PLAID is a touching story of the
struggle between duty to one's family and the sacrifices
some will make to uphold that commitment. I found the
characters in this book to be very well written although at
the beginning some of the secondary storylines felt a bit
too convenient. The younger MacGregor brothers threaten to
steal the show more than once and I hope the author
continues to keep them around in the series. To my
elation, this book is the first installment of the author's
new Macgregor Trilogy and I will be watching closely for
the future installments!
