This book was originally published in 1996 and is an historical romance. Calum and Eachann MacLachlan live on a small island off the coast of Maine. They enjoy their Scottish heritage and when life becomes to chaotic , Eachann kidnaps two debutantes and brings them home. The ladies, Georgina and Amy must decide to tame the wild brothers and love them or go back to their old life. I'm not much of a historical fan, this was a good read and I'm sure lovers of Scottish romance will love this. I picked it because one of the women was named Georgina and I have a friend by that name. I have enjoyed reading some of Jill Barnett's other books.

I am voluntarily submitting my honest review after receiving an ARC of this ebook from NetGalley.

This is a fast-paced, entertaining read. While I found Calum and Amy's love story heartwarming and authentic, Eachann and Georgina's journey felt contrived and forced. After Eachann ruined Georgina's reputation and cost her everything, including her last chance to save her family home and legacy (no matter how far fetched that hope seemed), then relegated her to the role of hired help, the likelihood of bloodshed seemed more probable than romance. The culmination of Eachann and Georgina's story seemed to take an abrupt turn that just rang false to me. While Carried Away is not my favorite novel by Jill Barnett, I will continue to look forward to reading her new works.

This is like an old movie, Seven Brides, for Seven Brothers,. If you can't find a wife, because you live in a desolate are, go to a London Ballroom, pick out a couple of Brides, and take them home! Too cute, however, it's still more of this Century with the women, as opposed to the 19th Century. I did enjoy most of it, I purchase the books I give Reviews on. I recommend. Thanks! Enjoy!

Two kidnaped and furious women whose lives are changed forever, but what they didn’t plan on was their hearts get carried away too!
This is my honest opinions after I voluntarily read a copy of this book that was provided to me with no requirements for a review.

This is a story about two brothers who need wives, Eachan took Amy and Georgina. Calum was the laird of the clan. These women have to learn get along with each other and their men. Georgina had to get along with Eachan’s children. True loves comes to both couples.

I love this author but I struggled to finish this. It seemed to take ages to get going and I was a bit bored.

Carried Away by Jill Barnett is the story of Calum, Amy, Georgina and Eachann.
This book cover has been updated to one that I like a lot better.
Arrant Island, Maine
Fergus MacLachlan was Calum and Eachann cousin and somewhat father to them. Fergus wanted Calum married along with hopefully setting up Eachann too. Calum being the oldest of the brothers is getting tired of Fergus parade of women to marry. Eachann has been married before and has two kids but Fergus feels he should be married again. Eachann children are off to some school and Fergus feels that Eachann shows more love to his horse than the kids. After Fergus get through with his speech Eachann goes to the school to check on his kids. There he learns they have been getting into trouble and is told to take them home. But Eachann decides to take a bride after all after meeting Georgina and getting Amy for his brother.
Amy was rich in money but after losing her parents had lost in love. But Amy thought that William who is was engaged to loved her until she overheard him and his friends talking about her. William pretty much said he should get a metal for marrying her. Amy's heart was broken to think the man she thought loved her ...didn't.
Georgina was left with money problems after her brother went chasing his dream but ended up dead and broke. Now Georgina is about to loose her home and of course is worried. Georgina was counting on a proposal from a John Cabot to save her from losing everything. But soon learned John wasn't for her.
There were two couple paring in this story so there was a lot to follow. But all and all it was a easy enjoyable read.
"My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."
