Review: The Highlander's Kilted Bride by Vanessa Kelly

The youngest brother in Clan Kendrick has become a charismatic force in his own right—especially when the perfect woman gallops into his life—in the latest novel in USA Today bestselling author Vanessa Kelly’s sparkling Scottish Regency series.

Charlotte “Charlie” Stewart would rather don a kilt and ride her horse than simper in a ballroom. But with her younger sister about to be wed, she can’t escape the pressure to be next. A husband has been chosen, and Charlie’s fate seems set. Until an afternoon gallop sends her horse colliding with Kade Kendrick, the broad-shouldered Highlander who was once her childhood pal . . .

As a youth, Kade felt overshadowed by his older siblings. Now he’s a renowned musician whose fame provides cover for his other work—as a spy. Home from his latest mission, he’s annoyed to be roped into attending the wedding of a family friend—until it reunites him with the fearless tomboy who has become a breathtaking beauty. And though his thoughts should be on a new concerto, Kade is soon distracted by rival suitors, a dangerous quest—and the unconventional woman who fills his soul with music and his body with desire . . .

My Review

The Highlander's Kilted Bride by Vanessa Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With the Clan Kendrick series now wrapping up, I want to go back and binge the series again. We get glimpses of past siblings in this book mostly from Royal, Ainsley, their daughter, and Grandda Angus. He always makes me laugh with his antics.

Charlotte "Charlie" Stewart, loves her country life. She prefers riding her horse and wearing a kilt over simpering among society. But with her younger sister on the verge of marrying, the focus has shifted to her, her parents even have a potential suitor in mind.

As a child, Kade Kendrick lived in the shadow of his older siblings. Now a highly celebrated musician, he travels the world and uses it as cover for his other work, as a spy. Home from his recent mission, he's annoyed to be roped into attending the wedding of a family friend. Until he's reintroduced to the bold beauty Charlie.

He should be working on a new concerto but is distracted by a rival suitor. Not to mention the theft of a family heirloom that has everyone looking for the piece in order to marry Charlie. And he's not about to lose this quest.

Thanks so much to the author, Kensington and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
