A review by savvyliterate
In the Highlander's Bed by Cathy Maxwell
3.0
While the beginning of the book was enough to draw me into the story, I found myself wanting to shake all the females at some point. There was far too much emphasis on Constance fighting Gordon and running away again and again and again and not enough on developing any believable relationship between Constance and Gordon as well as on Fiona's subplot. I did not realize this was the last book in a series, but it makes sense why there was a lack of emphasis on developing Gordon's camp beyond a convenient plot point.
Despite the drawbacks, I do like both Gordon and Constance and the relationship they have when they're not fighting and she wasn't trying to run off. I'd like to have seen one of those scenes cut out and more time devoted to Fiona's healing. I also liked Constance's sisters and their husbands, as well as the Duke of Colster. I understand all of them have their own stories, so I wouldn't mind seeking those out.
