Bedding the Enemy, the best book so far of a top notch McJames series by Mary Wine (hopefully more to come in the series). There is nothing better than a highlander story except maybe turning it into to a highlander erotica story, well that is how I would classify Bedding the Enemy. Loaded with chivalrous alphas and plenty of sensual love scenes.
Keir has inherited his newly Laird title because his father and two older brothers were killed in book 2 - bad, bad men. Keir is everything his father and brothers weren't, respectable, moral, and noble and Keir is going to bring honor back to his family name. First, he needs to find a bride with connections so he travels from his lands in Scotland to the English court to pledge his allegiance to the new king (who is half Scottish) and hopefully find a wife. Keir is so delicious, he is real man, not some sissy boy wearing pastels like the English flops, but he is disgusted by the ladies of the court. They are shallow, and painted with no substance. Then he spots her, Helena, and she captivates him immediately. Helena has wonderful character and is Keir's perfect match, she is not fake or high maintenance, but genuine. I loved them together, they were both so strong and when they touched the pages sizzled.
The problem is; Helena is a blue blood, daughter of an Earl and she has a nasty brother that beats her and feels he can use her for his selfish purposes. Her brother Edmund refuses Keir's bid to court her because he thinks Keir is too common for her and their family's title, plus Keir is a "savage" Scot. Edmund is a mean, repulsive twit and I cheered when Keir got in a few good punches when Edmund said and did bad things to Helena. Keir seemed to anticipate Edmund's traitorous plots and was always there to save her from her brother's cruelty. Even though Keir was a strong alpha with such a protective nature towards Helena he loved her so tenderly. Every woman needs one of those!
Although I have seen similar plots in the highlander stories before I was just so drawn in by the H/h relationship and that is why I gave it 5 stars- hot sex scenes earned big points too!!!
