Highlander In Her Bed
by Allie Mackay (aka Sue Ellen Welfonder)
After escorting would-be ghost hunters through castles, pubs, and stately country homes for two weeks, Mara
McDougall is just hours away from leaving the UK for another year. Instead, a phone call from Lady Warfield’s
solicitor has Mara canceling her flight and heading on a ghostly adventure on her own.
Allie Mackay, aka Sue Ellen Welfonder, brings romance readers a lust-filled tale from the highlands. It's
Douglas vs McDougall. American Mara McDougall vs Scottish Sir Alexander Douglas. Alex is a knight - and a ghost -
cursed to haunt the four poster bed he carved for his Douglas bride centuries ago. Mara and Alex clash like
Titans when they first cross paths at Dimbleby’s Antique and Curio Shoppe. The ghostly activity increases after
Mara buys the bed. As the storyline moves, Alexander’s curse is explained and for the most part, his life told.
My only desire is that there was more depth in this part of the storyline and not so much on the foreplay/love
scenes. The reason being, this author has a wonderful gift for description and character development. I feel there
could have been so much more to this tale than lust.
Highlander In Her Bed is a tale of retribution and redemption - with a bit of humor. Both the lead and
secondary characters are quirky and entertaining. I hope the author brings them back and the storylines of the
other ethereal knights are explored, as well. In the end, I felt the secondary characters didn’t get near enough
time on the page due to the lead characters' extended love scenes.
After many years in Europe and being of Scottish descent Allie Mackay (Sue-Ellen Welfonder) knows Scotland.
Her writing is articulate and her novels notorious page-turners. Welfonder’s fans will enjoy her new alter-ego.
I look forward to more of her Scottish ghost tales. |
