Sydney, a top executive at her father’s communications company, has made more than her fair share of contributions to it—but her strict father wants even more from her. He arranges a marriage for her without her permission, insisting it’s for the good of the company. With her dream of getting married for love, she just can’t accept her father’s will, so upon hearing the announcement of her forced engagement on a cruise ship, she flees by jumping into the ocean. Luckily she’s saved by Hugh, a carefree and mysterious man. Could he be the one who’ll free her from her father’s bondage? Unfortunately, Hugh doesn’t seem all that accepting of her. What’s the secret from his past that consistently brings him to reject Sydney?

With the name of the series being The McGillivrays of Pelican Bay, you know I had to check this one out. In McGillivray's Bed Harlequin Presents # 2406 is my first Anne McAllister book, and I must say it won't be my last. The misspelling of MacGillivray (LOL) aside, I found McAllister's writing sassy, lively. Harlequin Presents is a short series book only 185 page (!) so it does not give a writer a lot of room to flesh out characters, but McAllister seems very deft at working within this confinement. Her characters are vivid, full of wit and humor making this a very enjoyable quickie read.The beginning is a wee bit contrived (but due to the 185-page length I sort of dismiss that - the length just does not give a lot of time to develop a stronger plot. In this tale, Sydney St. John jumped overboard to avoid being married against her will. (I warned it was a bit forced. Ignore it!). She is in the middle of the ocean when her father's business partner announced before all they are going to be married that night. Instead of telling the jerk to take a hike, she jumps overboard to avoid making a scene and avoid the marriage. Fortunately, for her Hugh McGillivray is out relaxing with a day of fishing. Instead of a big fish, he catches Sydney.
Hugh has sworn off women. He was in love with Carin, but Carin married someone else. Since then, he has contented himself with loving Carin from a far (idiot) and cutting a wide swatch through the female population of Pelican Bay, a love-em-and-leave-em sort of jerk all women want to kick (big idiot). His life of late has been a living bachelors hell, because Lisa, a 19-year-old, has announced to one and all she and Hugh are going to be married. Does not matter than Hugh has told her no way Jose, she believe she can wear him down. In order to keep Lisa at bay, and Sydney's hot-in-pursuit jilted business partner, they agree to pretend she is Hugh's wife. Solves both of their problems, but of course opens another can of worms - their attraction for each other.
If you like to nitpick a story apart, you might give this one a pass, because the situations are rather forced. But if you are looking for a light read, to relax before bedtime, a delightful fresh voice that is able to weave humor into the tale, then Macallister is your cup of tea. I eagerly look forward to the rest in the series.

In McGillivray Bed Harlequin comics eBook Anne McAllister Yuki Fujine Reviews
Wow. This was a Harlequin I doubt I will forget for a while, mainly because it had so many elements that are not typical fare in these books. It begins with the hero being forced by the heroine to rescue her (nothing too new there). However, he is the one that is blushing at every turn, and she is the one who has a successful buisness career and a lifestyle that needs slowing down. It was great to see a woman in the lead like this.
Hugh is good looking but scruffy, extremly happy in his own skin and with a lot more depth than his lazy demeanor implies, the author does a wonderful job of conveying this. With the example of the chess game coming to mind.
Of course he is good looking and good with the women, but he has a sweetness to him that is very unusual and endearing in a hero for these books. It was great!
Syd is a bit of a paragon, pretty, intelligent, nice, occasionaly spontenious, but she does it in a way that isn't irritating and is very full of humility. I also liked that she was escaping the usual plot device 'buisness merger/marriage' (which is often seen in these books) and creating a whole new plot. The two characters also compliment each other nicely, they fit and not just in insta-hormonal ways, they seem to bring out better elements in each other. Also, Belle the dog and the local people were a very nice touch.
McGillivrays Bed, Price ended up being a lot more then I anticipated. Book was well used but I guess that was okay.
I can tell pretty much in the first few pages if I'll like the story or not- this was no exception to my rule! It had an island setting, a grumpy leading man, an off beat meeting with the leading lady and a dog! All good.
One of the BEST I have read by far! I enjoyed reading this. It has interesting elements and you get to enjoy them all. I wish there were a movie like this, I would love to watch it! Must read!
