Alec Bowie never wanted a wife. He never wanted a hearth and home. And he most assuredly never wanted to be chief of his clan. But much to his vexation, he finds himself in possession of all three. His desire for peace and to protect his clan are stronger than his desire to remain free and untethered. He agrees to the marriage in the hopes his wife will bed him only long enough get with child then leave him the bloody hell alone.
Leona MacDowall -- or Leona ‘Odd Eyes’, Leona the Witch, or Leona The Devil’s Spawn depending on to whom you speak -- is all too happy to volunteer to marry the Bowie Chief. Though the clan Bowie's reputation as murderers and thieves precedes them, she believes life with Alec more palatable than living the rest of her life untouched, unmarried, and under the hateful rule of her spiteful father.
But nothing turns out the way they expect. Alec doesn't know if he can keep to his original plan of leaving his wife alone after he gets her with child. Leona is beginning to suspect she might not get the happy home she's always wanted. And worst of all, someone's set on murdering Leona — and might just succeed before anyone's dreams can come true.

This series of the Mackintoshes and McLarens really starts with Fredrick's Queen which is book 2 of the Graham series (confusing I know).I liked Ian's Rose better than this one. This one has more personal trauma I guess, plus murder mystery.
I did like both the H/h a lot, they were strong and caring. My heart really went out to our h because she only knew pain, and her husband refused to love her.
Foreplay is described very mildly, and the actual act is more talked about after the fact. Granted they make love a lot, and says how much each pleases the other, but not described at all.
There were many twists and surprises that I was shocked and didn't see coming. This story also contains a lot of humor but also sadness. You will use a lot of emotions reading this. We do get HEA, no cliffhanger, romance that builds very slowly, but it is there.
I would recommend this whole series, and need to wait to the last book of this series, which I have already pre-ordered. (ljb)

The Bowie Bride Book Two of The Mackintoshes and McLarens Volume 2 Suzan Tisdale 9781943244225 Books Reviews
In my desire to assure that I had this book pre-ordered I accidentally ordered it on AND Barnes & Noble! The Bowie Bride, Leona, truly did not have a clue as to what her life was to become. Marrying into Clan Bowie who had survived for generations by simply taking what they wanted using any means available. Would her new husbands attempts to turn them around, forsaking might, intimidation and stealing really work? Could they become farmers, actually working for what will sustain them in the coming years? Would Clan Bowie accept the thought of Peace? There is one who will not stand for it, will not let loose the old ways and who will be damned if Leona remains Laird Alec Bowie's Bride. Enjoy this pearl of a book and see if two very different people from very different backgrounds can unite themselves as well as a clan!
I am a big fan of historical romance and really enjoyed this story. This is my favorite kind of romance, where there is an attraction right from the beginning but both characters have enough baggage where they can't admit their feelings until the end I thought the secondary characters were also really enjoyable and the mystery, while you probably figured it out earlier in the story, kept you in suspense.
The only negatives are some of the grammar, and the writing style was sometimes hard to follow, given the way the characters saying things like "nothin" and "runnin" and while I get that she was trying to emulate the Scottish brogue, sometimes I had to go back and re-read some of the dialog.
I was also surprised that even after they got together, Alec referred to Leona's "odd eyes." I think I would not be happy if there were something about my appearance that bothered me and my husband referred to it in a negative way. After he told her that her eyes intrigued him, I thought he was put a stop to anyone calling her "odd eyes."
And finally, I kind of wish that there was some closure between Leona and her father. I'm still not clear why her father hated her so much, outside of the mismatched eyes and her not being a boy, but that was some heavy hatred.
I am excited for the third book in the series. I think I will probably try and re-read the first two before the new one comes out, though. The characters are from some earlier books were part of the story, and I couldn't for the life of me remember Frederick and Aggie.
Let me admit first that I don't read historicals much any more. After years of reading them primarily I got bored with the formulaic plots. After reading this one, Suzan Tisdale may have swayed me to return to them. I truly enjoyed Alec and Leona's story. I appreciate the fact that the author can tell a story full of sexual tension between a husband and wife without all the blatant description. Some of us out there actually prefer to leave some to the imagination. There's nothing wrong with a little mystery. Thank you Ms. Tisdale for a delightful read!
I truly loved The Bowie Bride. Alec Bowie and Leona MacDowall's story is exceptional. This is not only a love story because there is intrigue and suspense as well. I was thankful for that because it kept me at the edge of my seat while cheering the hero and heroine on.
Alec, never wanted a wife at all. His past has brought him to that decision. He never wanted to be Clan Chief and now he is. He finds himself agreeing to an alliance marriage with the Mackintosh/MacLaren Clan. Any woman at this point will do for Alec, the key will be who will want to willing be a Bowie. His clan has had a terrible reputation. All he needs is to wed her, bed her and obtain an heir...then he can be left alone.
Leona MacDowall has been the woman her clan has always talked about... up until she became the Laird's wife's friend and it was discovered she was also her cousin. Prior to that she was called "Odd Eyes" and some gossipped she was a witch and a bit strange in the head. As she listens to her Laird's request for a lass to voluntarily wed The Bowie...she makes a decision that hopefully will change her life for possibly a wee bit better than the one she has had. She remembers Alec, he kept his word in helping her before.
These two have difficult past. Pasts that have made them the way they are. This is a new journey for both of them...that is hard enough, but add evil that lurks around and you are in for one heck of a ride.
There was humor, suspense, intrigue and love. I look forward to reading Brogan's Promise soon.
Great job Ms. Tisdale!
