Book CoverVeena’s review of Wicked Highland Ways (Highland Weddings, Book 6) by Mary Wine
Historical Romance published by Sourcebooks Casablanca 28 May 19 

Brenda Grant’s story has played out in many of the previous books in this series. Married for her property, she has been used and abused until she finally finds sanctuary with her cousin Symon. Once again, she’s a pawn of the crown and her freedom is threatened.  Can Brenda overcome her dislike of all things male to find happiness?Escorted to England to become wife to a man who only wants her for the material things she brings to the union, Brenda is resigned to her future until Chief Botham Gunn petitions Queen Elizabeth on her behalf.  Now she’s on her way back to Scotland and The Gunn lands a wife in name to a man who desires her deeply. Poor Brenda, bogged down by the baggage of her past, she refuses to accept possible happiness with Botham and the Gunns.

Botham is determined to win Brenda’s love and finally seems to be making some inroads when she’s snatched away again. Can Botham prove his steadfastness and rescue her from this newest test life has thrown Brenda’s way?  A great read for readers who love Scottish romances.

I am sorry to see this series end, with its share of feisty women who stand for what they believe in and find love on their own terms.

Grade: B
