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


9962040Maya Banks' beguiling new trilogy features three unforgettable brothers risking everything to save their clan and their legacy—and to surrender their hearts to love.

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

Cover:  Kind of a typical raunchy romance cover, but I do like the colour scheme of it for some reason.

This is a book that I came across completely by chance.  I was on Goodreads one day and saw someone update that they were reading it, read the synopsis, and thought that it sounded like a potentially good historical romance novel, aka my favourite genre.
I downloaded it and started it on a whim and was hooked from the very beginning.  I was completely absorbed.  I loved the writing and the characters.
Normally I go for Regency Romance, but I would say that this has opened a new potential favourite in Highlander Romance.
I loved the book so much that I read it in just over 24 hours, and as soon as I finished it I downloaded the rest of the books in the series.
I also recommend them to a friend, who also devoured them!
This became an instant favourite.
5/5 stars.
