In Bed with the Highlander
Hotel Glencovie, 2013
Researching her family tree brings Moirag McLellan to the Highlands and a foreboding castle-turned-hotel. She goes to sleep alone surrounded by modern amenities, but awakens in a room lit only by candles--and occupied by a gorgeous kilted man. And he's far too real to be just an erotic dream...
Glencovie Castle, 1715
Though Gavin MacIver doesn't know how the lusty wench in barely-there clothing came to be in his bed, he knows he never wants her to leave. But if her story of time-travel is true, how can he stop the only woman he's ever loved from slipping through his fingers once darkness fades into dawn?

An army brat born in England and now living in Canada, Ann grew up loving history, but majored in business, with history on the side. She has a husband and two lovely daughters and a Maltese Terrier called Teaser, who likes to sit on a chair beside the computer while she works.
Her love of the past and the stories in her imagination led her to write her first novel in 2000, a never-see-the-light-of-day-effort, and after having her first book published in 2006, she knew she'd found her niche.
She loves the Georgian era, and within that, the period known as the long Regency. She also adores happy endings.
You will find her books in bookstores in the month of issue, as well as on line at Mills and Boon or E-harlequin.

5 stars for what it is..
A super short (48 page) sexy, time traveling, back to Scotland to snag a hot Highlander story.

A disappointing read. Lacked the chemistry and detail that I was expecting. The different plot points moved on too quickly into the next and it came across very monotonous.

"In Bed with the Highlander" is a historical time-travel romance short story by Ann Lethbridge with a very naughty lady.
Middle-twentieth Moirag McLellan, Lady Breton wants to research the family tree as a surprise for the 25th wedding anniversary of her parents. She checks into Glencovie Hotel in 2013 in the Scottish Highlands of Glencoe. In the middle of the night, she awakes in Glencovie Castle in 1715 and meets 35-year-old Gavin MacIver. It seems to be love at first sight between those two and indeed who could resist a real-blood highland warrior. There is just this little problem with the time. Is she going to lose the man of her dreams?
Those two are on the same page from the first moment. Gavin sees an angel and Moirag sees someone worthy of her admiration. There is not a lot of talking, just Moirag's worry going back in time and thus lose Gavin forever and Gavin's very sensual attempts at persuasion. Beautifully done as expected as part of the Harlequin Historical Undone! Series.
Told from both points of view in third person, it is easy to get into the plot. Gavin and Moirag show an open mind for everything that is happening. The time-travel issue does not take the main spot, it is the relationship which is important. The writing stays light and does not get silly with all the angst about going back in time.
Well, this short story is actually part of the " Gilvry's of Dunross" series and a real appetizer for more of Lethbridge's Highlanders.

I like the Undone's because they're a mini-story when you don't have a lot of time to sit and read. This was pretty good. The name, Moirag, was not my favorite (makes me think of hunchbacked little witches) but it's probably using a Gaelic pronunciation that sounds pretty - it just looks like it rhymes with "hag." Moirag ends up time-traveling for the night, lands in some guy's bed and he turns out to be a pretty cool guy who is fascinated and aroused by her passionate nature. They fall in love very quickly, but they two clearly have a chemistry that works, so it's understandable. It didn't feel as instalovey as some instalove stories, you know? The time travel aspect was fairly realistic too, as the heroine KNOWS that she could never survive in 1700's Scotland and doesn't want to leave her family and that was handled really well. It also added a pinch of angst to the story - that struggle with whether they could stay together or not. I'd give this author another go.

Time travel is not easy to weave into a story, let alone a novella. The problem is that the device is too convenient and makes for uneven storytelling, which is my biggest problem with the story. I never got to know who the hero was when all of sudden the heroine is thrown into his brawny arms and somehow I am suppose to fall in love with them. Perhaps it would have been helpful if the heroine had been obsessed with solving the mystery of his disappearance before arriving at the castle? At least that might have helped lend the coupling some bit of plausibility.

This book had me at highlander, love story, and time travel. What could be better then that? Also it is a short story. Will she fall in love with the highlander and find a way to stay in 1715? Well I am not the type to give out the secrets. I can say this is a story worth reading

It’s a bit too much insta-love for me. I enjoyed both main characters and they had good chemistry, but it was simply too short for that type of story to unfold. The ending was cute; it made me think about how much more I would love it if it were a full length novel.

Too fast too soon. Boring.
