Even though he is raised by the kindly stubborn Alec, he still has dreams of revenge - much to Alec's chagrin. Connor and a couple of the other boys are saved and taken in by Alec Kincaid ( The Bride). Connor promises his dying father he will avenge him.

When our hero Connor is ten years old, his father is murdered by another clan chieftain and a secret villain. This revenge plot is interwoven throughout the pages and in my opinion it is what makes the hero an almost-bonehead. The only thing The Wedding had which The Bride didn't was a revenge plot device. Maybe this was so obvious to me this time around because I read them so close together and not a year apart like I did when they were first published. However, the characters in both books are interchangeable. I thought the humor in The Wedding was funnier, or maybe I was just in a better mood while reading The Wedding.

Just because I liked one better than the other doesn't mean allll that much, cause I didn't like it allll that much betterrrr. In my review of The Bride, I stated that I liked The Wedding better than The Bride.
