Mistress Mackintosh and the Shaw Wretch

Mistress Mackintosh and the Shaw Wretch


Brides of Chattan, Book 1

by Rose Prendeville


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Fans of highlanders and Scottish historical are in for a treat with this new series!


In this series opener we are introduced the Mackintosh and Shaw clans as two clan misfits set out on an adventure together! Orphan Jory Mackintosh has dreamed of being a healer forever and has never thought of herself as the wifey type. Born with scoliosis she was the apple of her parents eyes, but now finds herself another burden on her uncles household… but she is still surprised to find out that instead of finding her a husband, her uncle has agreed to send her off to a secret convent run by a rival clan!


Finlay Shaw may be the brother of his clans laird, but instead of being known as the heir, he is the wretch! After a youthful indiscretion costs his clan many lives at war, he is orphaned and ostracized from his clan. Now only good enough for menial tasks, he is dispatched to escort Mistress Mackintosh across Scotland to her nunnery.


Jory and Fin have some wild adventures as they re-get to know each other and travel across treacherous countryside. From the hazardous environments to the dangerous inhabitants, these two learn each others strengths to not only reach the convent, but to uncover a mystery that restores their status within the clan… oh, and they fall in love along the way!


I really enjoyed the in-depth scenic and historical details included in this book. I had a real Outlander (without the time travel!) vibe as they traveled across the country together. I haven’t read a Scottish historical romance like this in a long time and it was really refreshing. So, if you are looking for a road trip through historic Scotland, this slow burn, fated mates romance is for you!  



Mistress Mackintosh and the Shaw Wretch by Rose Prendeville was released September 10th, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Eridani through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
