Catherine Coulter’s THE SCOTTISH BRIDE – Utterly Charming Regency Love Story of an English Vicar and Scottish Lass

May is Scottish month on Historical Romance Review when I bring you stories set in Scotland’s past. This first one is set in 1815. It’s the story of Rev. Tysen Sherbrooke, an English vicar and a widower with 3 young children, who at 31 is told he has inherited a title in Scotland. His 10-year-old daughter, Meggie, decides she must go with him so she sneaks on the carriage dressed as a boy.

 

In Scotland, Tysen encounters Mary Rose, a courageous young woman whose uncle would give her to an unworthy man. And Tysen is not about to let that happen.

 

Tysen and his 10-year-old daughter Meggie (who is going on 30) are both charming. I loved their dialog, his thinking and Meggie knowing it all. Mary Rose is illegitimate, which seems to matter to those in Scotland but not at all to Tysen.

 

It’s a well-told tale, cleverly written and utterly charming. It will keep you turning pages.
