Wicked Highland Ways (Highland Weddings #6)

Blurb:

Brenda Grant has no desire to marry. Ever since her first, horrible marriage she's made herself into a hellion of a woman to keep men from wanting her. But the Campbells, her previous husband's family, are determined to find her a new husband.

Highland Chief Bothan Gunn is smitten by the woman who won't be tamed. It takes all Brenda's willpower to resist the brawny Highlander who takes her to safety. But as they spend time together—and grow ever closer—Brenda finally finds the freedom she's been longing for all along.

Review:

So the Ending has finally arrived for this series that we have all enjoyed so immensely and it will end with a bang and the long-awaited love for Brenda and Bothan.  Mary Wine has a particular skill with getting her heroine’s into and out of trouble again and again as they find their way to an HEA and none more so than Brenda Grant.  I have been dying for Brenda’s story since the very beginning and once Bothan set his sights on her I knew they would be a perfect match, once she gave up running from him.  Bothan is the quintessential Highland chief and I loved watching him chasing and stealing just what he wanted, Brenda, from under the noses of his enemies.   He is strangely sweet when they are in their private moments, despite the heat that burns between them and the alpha nature of this highlander.  Bothan has a clan to lead, but he sets it aside again and again in order to get Brenda and them to make her safe and happy which was surprising and beautiful to see.  While I have loved Brenda in previous books, there were moments in her own story where I wanted to slap her for being ridiculous and sometimes just a bit selfish.  I can certainly understand where she is coming from with her past, but fighting her own feelings and desires for Bothan over principal makes no sense to me.  Once she finally gave into what her own heart wanted and she allowed herself to love, I liked her character a lot more and she returned to the woman I had come to know and love.  While I was sad to see this series ending, Brenda and Bothan’s story brought back together many of the previous characters and seemed much like a reunion, which was nice and we got to see into the future that these friends and love ones would be sticking together a long time forming a powerful and long-lasting alliance for Highland greatness.  I am looking forward to the next serious Mary send our way and the next set of lovers that will grab my heart.
