The Wrong Bride was fun to read. Nothing stood out to me as super great or awful. The story starts out with kidnapping which pulled me right in and wasn't something I've seen in the other historical romance I've read. Maggie's story intrigued me and if my library has the second book I'll check it out.

Just meh.
The hero is a huge idiot. Literally kidnaps the wrong girl, and doesn’t piece it together until the end. Like she talks, at length, about having too many siblings and bel dude does not do the math *at all*.

Cute fun romance based upon a misunderstanding/deception. Not as stuff as some historical romances can be. I'm always a fan of a kilt wearing hero for some light hearted romance reading. Riona was fairly fierce for a heroine of the era and I liked how level headed she was. Hugh was fairly bland but their chemistry was nice to read. The ending was sorted out too neatly and quickly for my liking but I'm a sucker for a happy ending so all's well and all that.

I thought that the characters had no chemistry, and the plot was boring. The fact that Hugh didn't believe that Riona is the cousin of his betrothed until after they sleep together was really silly. Fans of historical romance can pass on this one.

This was a really fun and sweet mistaken identity and kidnapping historical romance (I love how we all say kidnapping romance so casually on this app LMAO). The MMC, Hugh, is supposed to marry the FMC, Catriona’s (Riona) cousin who has the same name (Catriona/Cat) to form an alliance between their clans. Riona’s uncle (Cat’s father) doesn’t want to uphold the potential alliance and contract that was made, so he tricks Hugh into kidnapping his niece, our FMC, Riona instead. Riona tries to tell Hugh that he kidnapped the wrong woman but Hugh doesn’t believe her and he takes her back to his clan.
I really loved the banter between Hugh and Riona, and at first, Hugh not believing Riona about the mistaken identity really bothered me, but it honestly became just funny as the book went on. I really enjoyed how both Riona and Hugh grew both together and separately as people in this book. Riona’s journey to self-growth and becoming a lairds wife really reminded me of the FMC, Judith from Julie Garwood’s The Secret.
Despite all the good things I have to say about The Wrong Bride,, I don’t think this story was anything profound. It was a fun book, but I can definitely tell it will be one I forget about in the future. A good palette cleanser, if you will. Regardless, this was a really fun audiobook (I love when Scottish historical romance audiobook narrators actually do accents, it’s so fun), and I’m interested to continue on with the series.
