Well worth the wait!, 12 Sep 2007
This review is from: IN HER BED (Mass Market Paperback)
Deborah MacGillivray introduced us to Damian St. Giles in A Restless Knight. Who was that delicious man who disappeared, leaving us sorely enticed? Now we find out where he's been. In Her Bed isn't a sequel to A Restless Knight since both books take place simultaneously. Hey, and we thought Tamlyn and Julian had issues. Ha! Just imagine the blow to Damian's ego when he finds out Lady Aithinne Oglivie has used him for stud service.
Aithinne is desperate to secure the future of her holdings, and to do that, she must produce an heir. She sends her twin brothers and her protector to procur a good specimen. Damian, drugged and spelled by Oona, can't believe his good luck when he's seduced by the woman whose image he's loved for years. He thought, at first, it was the Lady Tamlyn, but even though he's a bit miffed at his treatment, he finds Aithinne even more irresistable. Lady Aithinne, on the other hand, isn't the slightest bit interested in having any man claim her or her lands. And she's not at all amused when Damian tells her that King Edward has granted her lands to him.
Let Ms. MacGillivray take you on a journey through sensuality, betrayal, and true love. In Her Bed is the second book in MacGillivray's Dragons of Challon series, but can be read as a standalone just as well. (I don't know why anyone would want to miss the first book, though.)
For a true page-turner, I highly recommend Aithinne and Damian's rocky road to true love.

A wonderful Historical!, 26 Jan 2008
This review is from: IN HER BED (Mass Market Paperback)
Damian St. Giles covets his cousins betrothed beauty, Tamlyn. At the Beltane party Damian drowns his sorrows in imbibing in too much mead, as well as a special brew provided by triplet brothers. Waking up shackled to a bed is not so bad when the beauty Damian craves is right beside of him, touching and caressing his naked body. The brothers did promise the special brew would make all of his dreams come true....
Princess Aithinne Ogilvie must find a way to keep Lyonglen out of the hands of men that want the land for their greedy selves. The only way she can come up with is to give birth to a bairn, but the only problem, was that Aithinne was not married or even betrothed. Stealing a man for breeding purposes seems a little extreme, but what other choices are there? When a spell is woven between Aithinne and Damian and the first night of intercourse takes place, there is no turning back. Both lives will either flourish or the spell will cause more lies that will be added to the turmoil that is Aithinne's life.
She wants to keep Damian, but his heart lies with another. Can he come to love Aithinne as much as he loves her own cousin? What is yet to come of Lyonglen and the bairn Aithinne so desires?
Deborah MacGillivray enchants the reader with her historical romance In Her Bed. The characters were described beautifully and easily came to life before my eyes. It is so rare to see a lady take charge in a historical by making the first move on a man, but I found it endearing. This book brought warmth on a cold day with the heated love making scenes and the blossoming love between the characters; and don't forget the twists! I would highly recommend you get your own copy today and curl up with this wonderfully written book. 5 Hearts

A King's Feast for Scottish Historical Lovers, 8 Aug 2007
This review is from: IN HER BED (Mass Market Paperback)
In Her Bed
Review by Billie Warren Chai
Damian St. Giles, Lord Ravenhawke, travels to Scotland with his cousin, Julian, Earl of Challon, who claims lands granted to him by Edward Longshanks for his service. Damian will travel further north to claim his grandfather's lands. He is gifted with second sight through his Scottish mother, and bravery through his Norman father. The beautiful woman he sees in his vision has eyes only for his cousin.
Aithinne Oglivie desperately wants to help the people of Lyonglen, her home since her parents died. Lord Lyonglen is indisposed in the worse way and she must fend off the advances of Phelan Comyn and Dinsmore Campbell, two very unworthy suitors who want to claim Lyonglen and her holding of Coinnleir Wood for their own.
Under the Beltane Moon, the lives of Damian and Aithinne become entwined. He seeks to escape the ancient ceremony and she needs a heir to protect Lyonglen. Aithinne's three brothers and faithful servant seek a man worthy of her and carry Damian back to her bed at Lyonglen. Despite her misgivings, Aithinne risks everything for Lyonglen and finds herself falling in love with Damian. To protect Lyonglen, she allows her brothers and servant to return him to his cousin.
Damian with Lord Challon at his side arrives to claim his grandfather's lands, Lyonglen. Damian is shocked to learn Aithinne is cousin to Julian's wife and the two women are cousin-twins who mirror each other. Meanwhile Aithinne is equally shocked to learn that Damian and Julian are cousin-twins.
Soon events and Edward Longshanks force the outside world on Damian and Aithinne, and Julian and Tamlyn. Intrigue swirls not just between the Scots and the English, but between Damian and Aithinne. Secrets must be revealed and battles fought before peace will reign at Lyonglen. Will Damian and Aithinne's love strong enough to save them and Lyonglen?
I heartily recommend this second installment of the Dragons of Challon and so fell in love with Damian (and the cover) that I threatened a dear friend over him. He is mine, and once you read "In Her Bed" Damian will belong to you too.
I have found Ms. MacGillivray weaves a tale of love and secrets that consumes you. I could not put the book and eagerly urge you to discover her magic. I look forward to each new story concerning the Dragons of Challon and the women who win their hearts.
