Though the book was a bit slow moving at times and border-line boring at others, In Her Bed is still a pretty good read, all things considered. The story line was different, and if it had been tweaked a bit it could have been almost perfect.

MacGillivray writes a historical romance with touches of magic, more than a dab of humor, a touching love story, and even some pretty steamy love scenes. This alone would put it towards the top of my list, and when you add in the characters, which were both strong and fiery and caring and compassionate, in other words very dynamic and interesting, and you have a very good story!

Aithinne is a pefect example of a fierce Scottish miss, and she provided more than a few laughs and chuckles, whether she was yelling at her brothers or at Damien. I loved that she wasn't a weak, silly heroine who would let everyone just walk right over her. She knew what she wanted, what she believed in, and she went for it! Of course, her obsession with comparing her body to her cousin's all through the book did get a bit annoying, but I can forgive her..barely.

I am very eager now to go back and read the first book in this series, A Restless Knight, along with the next book in the series, which I heard is going to be out next year or so.

4.5/5 STARS! An interesting, funny, charming, and sweet romance set in my favorite backdrop: Magical Scotland. I love my brawny Highlanders...:) ( )

When I read A Restless Knight, I fell in love with Damian St. Giles, Lord Ravenhawke, so I really wondered what happened that week he vanished just before Tamlyn and Challon married. Now I know! And what an adventure he had. Only poor lad, does not recall most of it due to being drugged!

Aithinne Ogilvie is the lady of Coinnlier Wood, but since the death of her guardian, the Baron of Lyonglen, she's been in charge of his holding as well. With war with the English looming, this Scottish miss is smart enough to know she has to move to secure her hold on the two fortresses before King Edward gives her and them to either the Comyns or Campbells. She and the people of Lyonglen hide the fact the old lord died of old age. She concocts a pretence of being married to the old baron, and if she carries his heir, she hope it will be enough to keep Edward from playing matchmaker. Only, she needs that child. She sends her three brothers (triplets) and her person Viking body guard out to collect her a stud to do the deed. She never planned on falling in love with the stranger in her bed.

I really loved Aithinne. She is a gentle soul, yet one determined to protect the people of her valley. Damian as a hero as commanding as his powerful cousin, Challon, and through is very similar in looks a much different person inside. He is sexy, funny and yet complex man.

You get to see Tamlyn and Julian again, so that is fun. I cannot wait for the next Dragon of Challon to come. One Snowy Knight coming 2009 it too far off. ( )

Perfect! Intertwined with a "Restless Knight" nicely. Looking forward to more from this series. ( )
