The interactions between Niels and Edith both in and out of bed showed how important it was to each of them to make each other happy. Though it ended prematurely, their wedding night was hilarious, thanks to third-hand advice that Edith received from her maid. Circumstances hastened the marriage that both thought about, and I loved seeing them together. Niels is attracted to Edith's fierce loyalty to her people, and her down-to-earth treatment of them. It didn't take long for Edith to realize that Niels' could be the answer to her prayers. Edith was especially moved by Niels' kindness to young Ronson, though she was a little dismayed by the brothers' influence on the boy's vocabulary. The more time they spent together, the more they noticed other things about each other. There were several steamy scenes as those feelings sometimes overcame common sense. At first, it was the physical attraction that drew their attention. That forced proximity soon gave them both other things to think about.I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Niels and Edith. When he wasn't with her, she couldn't go anywhere without a brother or two or guards watching over her. He is also the bossiest of them all, and he soon appointed himself as Edith's guardian. Of all the Buchanan brothers, Edith thought that Niels was the most compelling. There was something about her that made him want to take care of her. I loved Niels' gentleness as he filled her in on what had happened. It was embarrassing for Edith, who fell as she tried to get out of bed after regaining consciousness. It didn't take long for Rory to discover that Edith had been poisoned and for all of them to take steps to protect her.There was a connection between Niels and Edith from the moment they met. The determination and protectiveness of the Buchanan brothers were evident from the start as they talked their way into the keep. I was proved right as their arrival at Drummond did not go as expected. I chuckled at Niels' belief that he had traded an arduous journey for one that would be much more pleasant, as I was certain that he was in for a surprise. I had to laugh at some of their comments, which were not taken well by Saidh. In the prologue, the brothers' love for and protectiveness of their sister was evident in their decision to help her. They did not expect to arrive and find that Edith's father and two of her brothers were dead, and Edith herself at death's door.The opening chapters of the book were a terrific setup for the story. It didn't take long for Saidh to convince her brothers to make the trip for her. Saidh hadn't heard from her friend Edith in some time, and she was worried. The Buchanan brothers stopped to see their sister Saidh (The Highlander Takes a Bride) where they discovered their very pregnant sister about to attempt a visit to a friend. Good book with Lynsay Sands' trademark humor.
