This is my first "free read" with Amazon Prime, and it was a very good beginning. Bride of Thistleloch Castle was my kind of read with castles, clans, claymores, and well-cultivated characters. If this book is characteristic of Stenzel's writing, then my Favorite Author List just grew by one. Her point-of-view and humor so enriched her characters, and the story line had me saying, "Oh, no--not again!" ...again and again.  Young English-born Laren Stewart's father gambled away her hand in marriage to an older, crude Scotsman, and her adventure in growing in grace--and the love of Scotland and it's people goes from there. I really enjoyed the celebration of friendship tucked into the lessons learned as the characters worked through family dysfunctions and learning the freedom found in forgiveness. Wonderful book!
