In Bed With a Highlander (McCabe Trilogy #1) by Maya Banks: Book Review

This is a fast-paced highland romance that doesn't spend time getting bogged down in the details of the period. If you're looking for a highly accurate and detailed historical fiction novel, this isn't it. (Read something by Diana Gabaldon instead! Start with Outlander.) But it's an engaging story with likeable characters that keep the momentum going so you don't get disappointed.

Because the "official" description of the plot line from Goodreads does a better job, I will quote it here:

Ewan McCabe, the eldest, is a warrior determined to vanquish his enemy. Now, with the time ripe for battle, his men are ready and Ewan is poised to take back what is his—until a blue-eyed, raven-haired temptress is thrust upon him. Mairin may be the salvation of Ewan's clan, but for a man who dreams only of revenge, matters of the heart are strange territory to conquer.

The illegitimate daughter of the king, Mairin possesses prized property that has made her a pawn—and wary of love. Her worst fears are realized when she is rescued from peril only to be forced into marriage by her charismatic and commanding savior, Ewan McCabe. But her attraction to her ruggedly powerful new husband makes her crave his surprisingly tender touch; her body comes alive under his sensual mastery. And as war draws near, Mairin's strength, spirit, and passion challenge Ewan to conquer his demons—and embrace a love that means more than revenge and land.

Mairin annoyed me a good bit; she was so clueless and ridiculously naive. But it didn't ruin it for me. I LOVE all the brothers and think Caelen is my favorite. I assume the third book is his love story? If so, I can't wait to get to book #3. Love all their names too. I will definitely read on in this series.
