About this title

About the Author

Allie Mackay is the alter ego of USA Today bestselling author, Sue-Ellen Welfonder, who writes Scottish medieval romances. A former flight attendant of Scottish descent, she spent many years living in Europe and still makes annual visits to Scotland. Keenly interested in the paranormal, she enjoys exploring haunted places. Especially in Great Britain. Her other main interests are Scotland, medieval history, and dogs. And if you've read this far, you can surely guess that it is Scotland that really makes her heart sing.

Reviews

This randy paranormal romance pits a burned-out ghost-hunting tour guide against a cranky person-hunting ghost. After her last skeptical jaunt into London's haunted past, Mara McDougall stumbles upon an antique store and finds the enormous medieval bed of her dreams. She buys it, despite the strange warning of a stunning but rude man who tells her, "The bed is mine, wench." Just as she's about to leave London, she learns that a friend in the tourist business has left her a huge Scottish castle—and a catch: she must make the place into a memorial to the MacDougall clan of Scotland. It turns out her gorgeous new bed has a catch of its own: it's haunted. Scottish knight Alexander Douglas, he of the rude warning, was cursed to spend eternity with the bed by one of the MacDougalls, and he's sworn revenge against them (and, now, maybe the McDougalls, too). The premise is charming and innovative, but the leads' lustful preoccupation overshadows the promising subplots and quirky supporting cast. The novel also frustrates by assuming, wrongly, that the rules of interaction between ghosts and humans are self-evident. This novel definitely delivers a blast of Scottish steam, but its take on love, paranormal style, is thwarted by overactive hormones that seem all too earthly. (Nov.)
