In Her Highlander's Bed by Lynsay Sands
4.0
Calan, the laird of Kilcairn, is out for a swim in the loch when a thief tries to make off with his plaid. He gave chase and managed to catch the offender by tackling them to the ground. It’s only when the boy is in his arms that Calan realizes it’s not a boy at all, it a young woman…. And she’s naked.
Seeing that she is suffering from injuries, he takes the mystery woman through a secret passage into his keep to get her the healing and rest she needs.
Allissaid was kidnapped by her clans enemy and forced into a marriage despite being unconscious. She manages to escape , even going so far as to risk death to do so. But after trying to steal a plaid, and failing, she wakes up in an unknown room with a man sitting on top of her while a woman tends to her injuries.
Not knowing if they are friend or foe, she feigns memory loss. However, the more time she spends with Calan, the more she falls for him and her lies are chipped away.
Random change of pace with a nice historical romance of the Scottish variety! I used to be heavily into these stories and this one is no exception! Having had recently read the book before this in the series, I saw it was for sale and purchased it!
I love being able to get a glimpse into the past and how life was during that time. It’s nice to see that while most men in this era view women as property, not all did. Some were loving and gentle men that are still rare to find today.
I liked seeing how Calan was with Allissaid, watching a tenderness that even his mother and sister weren’t aware he had. I do wish that we would have gotten to see him as a leader, but seeing as the majority of the book takes place in his bedroom with Allissaid hidden away, it does make sense why that aspect is missing.
A decent read that I did enjoy but wasn’t super in love with.
