Publisher's summary

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 or land.

LOVED IT

love Highland books

love this book a must read and love Maya Banks she always makes you laugh cry or fall in love or all three at the same time and the person reading the book did a beautiful job

Good Listen.

Where does In Bed with a Highlander rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

So...I read this series out of order. I read this one second after the third, when I realized it was a series. Compared to the others in the series I would say it was my least favorite of all three, but don't get me wrong...It is still a good story! After having listened to all three...it is good to know the history behind all the characters from book to book.

Would you be willing to try another book from Maya Banks? Why or why not?

Yes...for sure!! I have loved her books so far! She is a great writer!

What about Kirsten Potter’s performance did you like?

I have said it before and I will say it again...I lover her narration! She does such a great job between all the different characters with the different accents! I would listen to more of her's for sure!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I would say it made me laugh a lot! Mairin is great in how stubborn she is, and compared to Lord Ewan...it makes it for a great listen. :)

Any additional comments?

Definitely listen to these in order...give good background to do so. Although you wouldn't have to necessarily.

Great Story, Horrible Performance

I really enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next books in the series. However, this performance was without a doubt the worst Scots accent ever! Sometimes it sounded like an odd mix of Swedish and Italian. So awful, it was distracting. Please re-record this book with a more authentic performer.

Love it!

Great story. Steamy sex and romance. I would definitely read more books from Maya Banks! One of my favs!

10 Stars

This book is wonderful, 5 stars for the story and 5 stars for the narrator.. This book is a collage of Honor’s Splendor (ignoring the terrible performance by Anne Flosnik) and The Bride (excellent narrator BTW) by Julie Garwood; If you love those books……. you will not want to miss out of In Bed with a Highlander.

Bring on a Highlander

How I did not know this author wrote Highlander books is beyond me because I have been a fan of hers for a long time.

I loved the dynamic between Ewan and Mairin. It wasn’t always easy and that is exactly why they fit so well. They fight with each other on the things that matter and they agree on the things that matter. I loved this world, these characters, and the setting. It wasn’t too wordy or over the top, it was exactly what I needed coming out of a very long and dry book.

The narrator is fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for someone better she really brought this book to life. 100% will continue the series.

Good listen

This was a good listen. It was a departure from Maya Banks usual writing. I was disappointed because it seemed like Ms. Banks channeled the writing of Julie Garwood and her book, "The Bride". Lots of discussions of "her duties" as his wife. Lots of conversations that entail, "Wife,....." or "Husband...." I just rolled my eyes when they spoke this way as it reminded me of the Julie Garwood's writing. I can't imagine anyone talking to his liege the way the hero of the story did. "If I wanted you dead, you already would be, my lord" That was not believable at all to me. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining read and I was pleased with this book and will listen to the others. I am looking forward to the third installment of this book where the main character is a fighter as well as a lady.

Loved it!

Would you consider the audio edition of In Bed with a Highlander to be better than the print version?

Yes, the narrator was fantastic. Her accent was very believable- thought she was perfect.

Great twists and turns

Any additional comments?

great book. Enjoyed the plot and the twists and turns of getting the two characters to fall in love.
