The Future Bride
by J.G. MacLeod
Brigid and Feghus meet as Brigid is running from a wedding meant for her, even though she was not from this era. Ferghus is weary of her at first, as Brigid's demeanor and the way she practices karate are not something he's familiar with. He takes her along with him on a journey to his cousins where he and his family will keep her safe from the family trying to take her back after she ran from the wedding. As they are on their journey for many nights together, Brigid becomes more intrigued by him but also more infuriated by his sexist ways. She finds it hard to conform to the rules of that era. They fight battles together as they encounter men along the way and Brigid shows him she is not weak and can help in battle. Ferghus as the story goes becomes more gruff as his scars makes him think Brigid would never want him. So he tries to push her away and to suggest other marriages to men that will keep her safe. Brigid though will have none of that as he has grown on her and she sees past his scars and is falling for him. I love these stories of time travel and finding ones love in another era. I also love the alpha men with damaged past that end up finding love and a person for them. I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens with Brigid and Ferghus!
