The Bridegroom Wore Plaid (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
As I've put this book on the shelf "not-my-genre" I generally think people will understand the star rating. Personally, I felt that the story was predictable and only a scattering of characters had any depth. On another note I can't stand sex scenes. At all. Not one bit. So all of the sex scenes for me were awkward, again, this is a personal view and I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this book, but I'll be back to my Young Adult genre thank you very much! Multiple interdependent storylines between Augusta/Ian, Gil/Genie, Con/Judith, and Mary Frances/Matthew make The Bridegroom Wore Plaid more fractured in presentation than her previous novels. There's a sense of missing vital interactions between the secondary couples that happen off-page. Although the story still delivers the tenderness, humor, emotional intimacy, and tangle of family devotion and duty that G.B. fans have come to expect. Fiona is her usual irrepressible self. Mary Frances and Matthew have their own novella, and it feels like the other couples should, too. They may exist separately or show up in other entries in her other overlapping series since G.B. has a talent for intertwining stories, characters, and timelines across multiple books with enviable accuracy.
