Geordie and Dwyn have few distinguishing characteristics beyond their lust for one another, and Sand’s always excellent depiction of clan loyalties cannot overcome the story’s weaknesses. The plot shifts dramatically halfway through, introducing a one-dimensional villain who brings unnecessary drama. As the pair grows closer, Dwyn continues to need rescuing and Geordie vows to protect her in every way possible. When one potential bride, Lady Dwyn Innes, climbs a tree to escape the catty machinations of the others, Geordie rescues her from the branches and becomes enamored of the lowland lady. Geordie Buchanan, one of the three remaining unmarried Buchanan brothers, returns to his family home to find the keepĪwash with eligible women who’ve come hoping to catch the eye of him and his single brothers. The middling eighth historical romance in Sands’s Highland Brides series (after The Wrong Highlander) relies heavily on goodwill built in previous installments without offering much new.
