The vivid imagery throughout the book is exceptional. In Her Bed is a fantastic read. I love the humor peppered throughout the story, just enough to lighten the mood when things get so intense. Talking about intense--the love scenes were tastefully written, yet HOT. Need I say more? Actually yes...let me tell you a bit about the main character.
Aithinne is a strong heroine, though has her own insecurities. The man in her bed...the one who is drugged and brought to her chamber by her three bumbling yet lovable brothers...is initially there for only one thing. However, Aithinne's plan back fire as soon as she discovers who the man in her bed is. Oh you are going to love this character. He is everything a woman wants and more.

This story is full of intrigue, humor, and life changing decisions. I highly recommend this book. I love all the Dragons of Challon series books. Hooray for this Macgillivray lass! Deborah Macgillivray's never fails to draw me into a story and make me forget the word around me...and make my family wonder if dinner will ever be on the table. I get so lost in her stories...a true sign of a gifted writer.… (mer)

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...:)… (mer)

What does a bad cat thief, a cat with an eye patch, a fat cat, a know-it-all cat, an old cat, a cat who loves a kid, a cat named Elvis, one named Bubba, and a cat that isn't really a cat all have in common? Romance! These are nine short stories and novellas about romance carried out with a little helping hands....um, paws....from some very unusual felines. Some are contemporary romances, some paranormal, even a wonderful historical that I would love to see make into a full book. I laughed, I cried and I fell in love again and again. Perfect gift for that cat lover for a birthday or Christmas. I would be hard pressed to say which story I loved the most. Each one is very special.… (mer)
