Description of Much Ado About Highlanders by May McGoldrick
In the heart of Scotland, this Highlander is about to meet his match in a brand new romance from bestseller May McGoldrick.
Highland warrior Alexander Macpherson has lost his wife. When he agreed to take Kenna Mackay as his bride to advance his clan’s power in the north, he expected a bit of an adjustment. He didn’t expect the sharp-tongued beauty to run away on their wedding night. Still, Alexander wants his runaway bride…and he has the sneaking suspicion that she wants him, too.
Kenna Mackay thought she was safe in a priory full of nuns learning the craft of healing, but when she is kidnapped by her own husband, the battle of wits begins anew. But even as passions ignite, a deadly secret from Kenna’s past rises to the surface and put their new love in jeopardy. As a heartless villain closes in, two headstrong lovers find themselves locked in a struggle between evil and the power of undying love. And this time, Alexander is determined he will not lose his wife again.

I wonder what the secret from the past really is.
This novel features a commendably tasteful cover, but some romance novels featuring leading men of Scottish descent show shirtless buff male physiques of an idealized type on their fronts. Do you think this objectifies men and/or fetishizes Scottish males for their “exotic” culture, Teddy Rose?
I think so, although I think these cases are substantively different than egregious examples more prominent in our culture (i.e. the nearly-omnipresent objectification of the female body and women of color because they are exotic is obviously doing incomparably more harm, IMHO, to be fair here). I’m curious if you’ve ever given the matter thought and if it seems ridiculous or reasonable (or neither) to you. Other readers more than welcome to answer as well! 🙂 I just know Teddy is the main audience of my comments here…Best to all, Kara S
