What a disgusting pig the protagonist was! There is nothing that will make me think differently. He had that total creepy raperish vibe going on. Ick!

Okay, I realize things were way different in early 1600s Scotland and men basically owned women but I'm a 21st century reader who isn't going to stand for men forcing themselves on a woman no matter how much he thinks a blush equates to wanting to have sex with him.

Cullen meets Bronwyn while riding on the border of their clan’s lands. Their clans are bitter enemies. He flirts with her but she seems not interested in him. When her clansmen ride over a ridge and spots them talking, she gets back up on her horse and he grabs her ass. His balls would have been in his throat if he did that to me.

Throughout the whole book, Cullen couldn't seem to control his penis. It had control of him. The same was true for Bronwyn. He touched her wrist once and she became horny. What the hell?

It was the way he treated Bronwyn that really had me steaming though. He did some things that were nothing short of abuse, using his power to get his way. And then she would forgive him when he waved his tallywacker around. Man, I hope anyone reading this book knows how wrong that is.

No! I can't accept it. I don't want my heroes to resemble a horny creep at the bar who thinks just because you danced with him means he can rub his dick up against you. I want my heroes to know when to stop and respect the meaning of no.

There was actually a good plot going on here with the two clans rivalry and a few other background stories emerging but the book was ruined by the lecherous behavior of the supposed hero.

I'm not quite done with the book but am unimpressed so far. I am tired of hearing how handsome the hero appears to the heroine. I am tired of him being a jerk to her(of course he is much nicer than her father) and her just giving in. Now I find myself skimming the sex scenes because there is not enough plot!
Done with In the Warrior's Bed and had hoped for a big finish to redeem the book but it was just okay. ( )

In the Warrior's Bed
3 Stars

Falsely accused of dishonoring Bronwyn McQuade, Cullen McJames decides to settle the longstanding feud between his clan and the McQuades by kidnapping and wedding her. Unfortunately for Cullen, Bronwyn is no timid miss and refuses to marry and be used as a pawn. Can these two passionate yet stubborn people find some common ground?

Not as enjoyable as the first book in the series.

Bronwyn and Cullen’s scenes together are exceedingly erotic. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, their romance lacks foundation and is based on mutual lust rather than any real love and affection.

Bronwyn’s relationship with her family is underdeveloped and her interactions with the McJames clan are unrealistic. Where is the animosity and the antagonism?

There are intriguing hints at an underlying suspense plot spread throughout, but it never fully materializes and is ultimately resolved rapidly and unsatisfactorily.

All in all, the book does not live up to its potential and the next one will hopefully be better. ( )
