Scotland of the 17th century is the setting of this tale of forbidden love. When Kara Gordon's husband dies, she is forced by contract to marry her husband's heir--his 12-year-old brother. As forces outside the castle try to remove the boy from the throne, Kara is caught up in a passionate affair with his half-brother and protector.
Colleen Faulkner is one heck of a story-teller! She's become one of my favorite authors. Highland Bride was a delectable read!
This was a good read

I really enjoyed this book. Its about a girl name Kara. She is forced to marry and 13yr old boy named Harry. But Kara falls in love with his half brother Ian. The story of these three people touched my heart. As you read this book you want Ian and Kara to be together but you dont want Harry to be hurt. This book dose capture the greed of the seventeenth century Scotland. There is some one who wants to hurt Harry. Ian and Kara will do anything to stop that form happening. Ian turly loves Kara with a love that we all look for in a mate. I dont want to tell you the ending you need to find tnat out for yourself,but if you love all things scottish then as I always say you will love this book. It is a page turner.
Colleen Faulkner is one of my favorite authors.

Highland Bride was wonderful. I felt as if I was there in Scotland with the heroine. Ms. Faulkner's heroines are always strong and so realistic that I cannot forget them. When I finish a Faulkner romance, I feel as though I'm saying goodbye to a friend. I like the history I learn in her stories, but best of all are her heroes. Where are men like this today? In Highland Bride, the heroine is forced into marriage with a boy much younger than she is. It would have been natural for a woman to resent him, but she didn't. When her heart wakens to another . . . Well, I won't spoil it for you. This is an exciting book, one you won't want to miss. Whenever I read one of Ms Faulkner's historicals I say, 'this is the best'. This one really, truly is. I loved Highland Bride.
