(Tall, dark and ancient - really ancient...)

(Maybe everybody else liked it, but ....)

(the Dark Highlander)

(WOW and AMAZING)

(For a scottish "artifact" like Dageus McKeltar ....)

"I am a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones". So says Dageus MacKeltar, a 16th century Druid who made the ultimate sacrifice for his twin brother. But that sacrifice, selfless as it was, was against the sacred oath which his ancestors swore to the Tuatha De Danaan also known as the Fairies. For saving his twin's life necessitated entering the circle of stones which enables them to move beyond time. Thus, the Compact between Human and the Fairies was broken, releasing the spirits of the thirteen evil Druids cursed by the Fairy Queen thousands of years ago. Dageus now houses those spirits and he is desperate to find the way to re-imprison them before time runs out and he becomes the ultimate evil himself.

After pouring through one ancient book after the other, Dageus feels his control slipping away and evil is starting to consume him. Salvation seems impossible. Then he meets Chloe Zanders whose passion for antiquities and everything Scottish turns out to be the very thing he's been waiting for. What follows is an amusing interaction between the two as they fight their attraction for each other, while racing against time to fight the evil that threatens to wreak havoc to mankind.

While it took me a while to finally get around to reading the previous book featuring Dageus's twin brother, I quickly grabbed this from the shelf within seconds of finishing KISS OF THE HIGHLANDER. Indeed, I loved that book so much (I can't believe I waited so long to read it) and fell in love with the MacKeltars and couldn't wait to see what happens to Dageus. I was saddened to find out about his fate and couldn't believe what the author subjected him to. How could you Ms Moning! But, of course, the idea was to make it all the more sweeter when he finally gets his happily-ever-after.

Did it work? Yes, he does get his mate but the journey along the way wasn't as captivating as Drustan and Gwen's. I enjoyed it for the most part but it lacked the poignancy that I loved in the previous novel. And the involvement of the Druid order of the Draghar seemed contrived. Instead of adding danger to the story, I found it mostly a distraction perhaps because it wasn't really given enough depth. However, this is a minor complaint on my part. Reading about Dageus and revisiting Drustan, Gwen, Silvan and Nell was enough to make this a worthy read - just not on par with the previous novel.
I felt compelled to give notice: There was not one original idea, not one surprise, not one character that was believable (whether corporeal or not), and even the brighter parts have all been written and read many times before. The depth of True Love found in less time than most of us spend buying a new car was almost insulting. OK to read if it is free and you are stuck on a runway.
I enjoyed reading the Dark Highlander. Karen marie Moning writes a very
interesting story.
From the moment I picked up and starting reading this book I was captivated. I felt an immediate connection to the characters and could not put this book down. The main charactor Daeges is so intimidating and sexy. A great romantic read right from the start!
What I liked about this book was that is took place in the current century for the most part. And it was dark, very dark. Dageaus meets Chloe, or actually "ze french maid" and cannot stop himself keeping her in his lair in Manhattan. She of course is head over heels in love with "the older scottish the better" but due to his reputation as womanizer is not quite ready yet to be just another afternoon play.
I like the interaction between them how he wants to protect her but yet wants to devour her and is torn between those 2 raw feelings.
I wish Chloe could have been a bit more helpful for him since so much time was spend on explaining that she not only loves antiques and artifacts, but knows a lot about them too and speaks several languages. Instead she was more of a little flower babbling on, where she could have helped him translate and such... But the scene where she practices her declaration of love is just so cute and honest, that I can forgive KMM for that. Now I am curious about Adam Black.
Journey to a world of ancient magic, breathtaking sensuality, thrilling time-travel.... Journey to the world ofThe Dark Highlander. Crisscrossing the continents and the centuries, here is a novel as gripping as it is sensual—an electrifying adventure that will leave you breathless....

I am Dageus MacKeltar, a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones, driven to sate my darkest desires…

From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A sixteenth-century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable alpha male an irresistible lure.Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back into time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man....

(Soul of Highlander)

(Soul of a Highlander)

(beautiful read!)

(Delightful Addition to my Keeper Shelf!)

This one was my favorite of the series if I had to choose one, but you should read all of them. This involves Mari going back in time to rescue the daughter of her aunt. She leaves behind a complete itinerary of where she should be at that something has gone wrong if she's not right back. Needless to say, things go haywire and funny and dangerous situations occur along with steamy love scenes. It will definitely wake up your senses. Mari is a very strong headed girl and isn't afraid to take what she wants!
Melissa takes you into a world of fantasy. To where magic and love provail. I have not been able to put these books down. They literally grab you from the first page. I look forward to reading other books by Melissa Mayhue.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fun and the main character was spunky and resourceful. It was nice having the women be the highlander. It was easy to read beacuse the words flowed very nicely. I read it very quickly and am wondering if there will be another. can't wait.
I adore Melissa Mayhue's ability to sweep the reader away to her fae-filled highlands. Many of you will remember high-spirited Mairi from the Thirty Nights and if you loved her like I do, then you'll be gaga for this book. And don't forget Ramos! The bad boy from Highland Guardian is back-- more brooding and sexier than ever. The chemistry between these two is hot hot hot! And the twist at the end regarding Mairi's fae gifts...I don't want to spoil it for you but I have to say I can't wait to see how this plays out in Mayhue's next book. This series just keeps getting better!
Third in Melissa Mayhue's Daughters of the Glen series, SOUL OF A HIGHLANDER follows the story of two wonderful characters first introduced in THIRTY NIGHTS WITH A HIGHLAND HUSBAND [June 2007] and HIGHLAND GUARDIAN [October 2007].

Faerie Magic rescued Mairi MacKiernan from certain death in 1272 and whisked her to safety in the twenty-first century, but at the cost of her dreams of ever finding happiness. When she discovers the last Daughter of the MacKiernan family was murdered in 1295, she knows it's up to her to demand Faerie Magic transport her back in time so she can save her line. Captured by the same evil men she'd barely escaped before can Mairi save anyone, including herself, from certain destruction?

Ramos Servans dedicated himself to service as a Guardian after he discovered the evil unleashed on the Mortal Plain by his father and their people. He's determined to atone and rid the world of Nuadian deceit, but he doesn't count on complicating his mission by rescuing a beautiful, independently minded Highland lassie that teases his senses and fires his passion.

After being introduced to Ramos in Mayhue's last novel, I could hardly wait to get my hands on SOUL OF A HIGHLANDER. He's every bit as delicious as I'd hoped yet conflicted as well by the guilt that resets him on his path of atonement. Mairi doesn't realize her path intersects with her sexy Guardian's and that they will face dangers together that will change both of their lives forever. I love the Fae world Mayhue has created, and this third novel in the series is a delightful addition to my Keeper Shelf!

Nine years ago, Faerie Magic saved Mairi MacKiernan at the cost of her dreams of happiness, snatching her from her life in 1272, and depositing her in the twenty-first century. Now, she must save the last Daughter of the MacKiernan family...who was murdered in 1295. Transported back in time at her request, Mairi finds herself captured by the same evil men as before! Is this the price the Faerie Magic requires of her this time?

Ramos Servans has dedicated his dreams to service as a Guardian, but when he discovers the evil unleashed on the Mortal Plain by his father and their people, he swears he will atone by ridding the world of Nuadian deceit. Part of his mission involves rescuing a lovely Highland lassie, and in the passion that grows between them, Ramos and Mairi find a new dream.

But falling in love can be dangerous when Faerie Magic is involved. Dreams may not be the only cost....

(3.5 stars. Gentle, enjoyable, time-travel Scottish romance.)

(Time Travel Fun)

(Boring !!! I Thought this would be Romantic!!!!!)

(OUTSTANDING)

(entertaining lighthearted time traveling frolic)

STORY BRIEF:
Over the years, several faeries from the royal family married humans and had descendants, who did not know about their faerie heritage and had no magic abilities. The High Prince of the Fae accidentally gives full faerie powers to all of the royal family descendants. Ellie is one of them. She doesn't understand why all of a sudden she can communicate with animals. She works for a vet and wants to go to vet school. Her mother died recently and the no-good stepfather takes over the sheep ranch and all of her mother's assets. He wants Ellie to sleep with him or leave. Ellie is distraught and makes a wish to find her one true love. Because of her faerie powers, she is transported back in time to Scotland where she meets Caden. Caden was hurt by a woman in the past and plans never to marry. Ellie brings interesting knowledge regarding animals and sheep ranching. Other clans and thieves cause problems.

REVIEWER'S OPINION:
After the first intimate scene, Ellie lied about something which bothered me. I saw no reason for the lie other than to artificially continue the conflict. That was my major problem, conflict due to vague communication. Other than that, it was nicely done. There may not be enough romance and magic for some readers, but it's a pleasant story with enjoyable characters. I was chuckling at a few of the lines. I enjoyed the role of the dogs in the story, something a little different.

DATA:
Story length: 325 pages. Swearing language: none. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: 2. Total number of sex scene pages: 8. Setting: 1295 and 1304 Scotland and present day Prairieland, Texas. Copyright: 2009. Genre: historical time-travel romance.
This was a fast read and I loved the characters. Ms. Mayhue tells a story and a romance with real expertise. Time travel novels can sometimes be too detailed and boring. This one just entertains. I can recommend it highly.
If you are looking for Romance this book is not it!!! This is an adventure story mixed with a little Fairy Mischief and very little magic. Ellie Denton's mother has died. Her step father has inherited everything including her home. Ellie is told by Ray her step father she must become his new bed partner or leave which she does. Ellie doesn't know she has fairy blood or even what that means, but she makes a wish for a Highlander her true love to come rescue her. She is pushed back in time to the 13th centry ,she happens upon Caden her one true love. After which the author goes page after page after page keeping them apart (repetitive) until the story of love and magic gets Lost!!! leaving the reader bored!! Their is maybe 4 or 5 pages out of 324 pages devoted to the romance between Ellie and Caden which is not enough to make this a romantic story. Maybe it was not intended to be ramance story but the title of the book makes you think it is. If you are looking for a romantic story with magic and and adventure THIS IS NOT IT!!!! Ms Mayhue need to spice it up a bit I really wanted to like this book, but I only liked the idea of the story. SORRY BUT THIS WAS BADLY DONE AND BADLY WRITTEN!!!!!
A Highlander of her own, was honestly ONE of the best in the series.
I could NOT put this book down. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!
In 2008 in Prairieland, Texas, Ellie Denton finds her life reeling when Ray Stanton, the ex husband of her late mother, claims her family ranch as his; she is thankful he was not her dad. However, that proves a minor nuisance when compared with the mysterious mark on her chest; she is relieved to learn whatever it is it is non-cancerous. Meanwhile she feels like Eddie Murphy as animals speak to her. However, the strangest phenomenon occurs when Ellie wishes she had a man who loved her that she loved back. That odd mark quivers when she says her heart's desire and before she knows what next she knows she is no longer in modern day Texas; in fact she is in 1304 Scotland.

Caden Macalister has vowed to never marry after his betrothal fell apart almost a decade ago. When he meets the strange Ellie, he assumes destiny has brought her for one of his siblings as he is not fated to be a spouse. His mother strongly disagrees as she insists fairy magic has transported Ellie to be with her beloved Caden. As the stock begins to suffer from a disease, her skill to talk to the animals comes in handy, but Caden remains obstinate that she is not his destiny although Ellie begs to differ.

This is an entertaining lighthearted time traveling frolic. The story line is brisk as Ellie feels she got her wish in a weird way; Caden's mother agrees believing the Fae answered her wish; but stubborn Caden makes the tale with the refusal to believe his heart or the women in his life. Fans will enjoy the latest Daughters of the Glen time travel medieval romance (see THIRTY NIGHTS WITH A HIGHLAND HUSBAND) as Melissa Mayhue provides a winner with justice for all in two distinct centuries.

Harriet Klausner

TEXAS, PRESENT DAY.Ellie Denton's world has spiraled out of control. A strange new birthmark, animals talking to her, and her mother's ex-husband laying claim to the family ranch have her thinking life can't get more complicated. But Ellie doesn't know the birthmark's connection to her Faerie ancestors.Complicatedtakes on a whole new meaning with her innocent wish to find her true love.

SCOTLAND, 1304.Caden MacAlister has more trouble than he can handle. With his brother held for ransom and the laird missing, the last thing he needs is another problem. But the Fae have other plans. A mysterious woman shows up in his stables, sent by Faerie Magic to find her true love. Fighting his attraction, Caden insists she's meant for one of his brothers. With his history, he has no desire for a woman in his life -- especially a woman sent by the Fae.

Only the magic of the Fae can determine whether Ellie will find a Highlander of her own...

(Shakespeare)

(I finally got it.)

(Hamlet paperback)

(Why is this recording no longer available?)

(Amazing Edition of an Amazing Play)

I read it all in one setting; it's a classic. Details a fictionalized account of the royals.
I received two books called "Sixty-Minute of Shakespeare." The first book "Romero and Juliet" and the second was was "Hamlet." I slowly sank into into my chair and had flash backs of being in school and trying so hard to understand the many twists, turns and language of Shakespeare.

As I began to read "Romeo and Juliet" much to my surprise I actually understood what was begin said. The author added footnotes and did some editing that made it easy to read. Then I read "Hamlet" and again understood what was being said. I began to glimpse the wonder that is hidden within the words.

For the first time in my life I truly understood what Shakespeare had wrote. I loved both plays and was somewhat shocked that I did. I finally realized why Shakespeare was considered brilliant and well known around the world.

I really think these books, which are a part of a six book series, should be read by young people first, before they enter into the world of Shakespeare. The author has done a fantastic job of editing the books to shorter versions than the original works. Even though the books are smaller, they in no way, take away from the story line of the larger books.

All I can say is thank you, Cass Foster. A window that I had closed, is now opened. All because you created "Sixty-Minute Shakespeare."

Definatly five star ratings for both books.

Whispering Winds Book Reviews
I am in an English Honors class and we studied Hamlet in class. This book was helpful in understanding the language of Shakespeare, but I think the book could have made better footnotes on certain concepts in the book. The publisher does make up for this by inserting a few essays which were helpful in writing my review paper. Overall I give this a 3 star rating due to the lack of better footnotes.
I first encountered this version of "Hamlet" in the library when I was about 14 years old. I'd loved Paul Scofield in "A Man for All Seasons," but my parents had subjected me to a lot of great actors reading Shakespeare--so I didn't have much hope for this recording. Shakespeare's plays, as I understood them up until that point were all about artiface--people with mellifluous voices reading incomprensible stuff.

There was something about the urgency of Scofield's voice that held my attention almost immediately. While I didn't understand all of the vocabulary, I understood that Hamlet was a person in great danger and I was on tenterhooks through the whole recording.

What a shame that it is only available second-hand!
Let me begin by saying that Hamlet is truly an amazing play. By far, my favorite drama, Shakespearian or otherwise. Telling the story of a man searching for the light amid mind-boggling darkness, Hamlet reveals more about the conflicts people face in their own lifetimes than any other piece of literature.

This edition includes an introduction about the life of Shakespeare, including a completed works list, and even some words of his own creation. After the unabridged play, several very noteworthy critical reviews reveal more and more about Hamlet than any other comparable binding. At the price and information contained within in its pages, you simply cannot find a better edition of this awe-inspiring drama.

(Loved It!)

(Changed Lives)

(I absolutely loved this book!)

(A Book to Inspire Imagination)

(Fantastic)

I haven't read a Jude Deveraux book in quite some time. I had read The Summerhouse and I needed something to read on vacation, so I picked this one. Although it was very different from the original Summerhouse, It was a good book. I enjoyed being in the past and learning about herbs. It was interesting learning about how a big estate was run in times of long ago.

For true Jude fans, you will enjoy this.
This magical story involves three women given a chance to change their lives, if they suspend "common sense" and step out of their patterned existence. They each have a chance to go back and make different choices, if they choose to. And the three women who were once so different learn what happens when they reach out and help each other. A very satisfying read. For something different and unique, my new favorite: ARROWS THROUGH TIME: A Time Travel Tale of Adventure, Courage, and Faith.
I loved this story, the people, the settings and the story. I found it to be fresh and original, and very hard to put it down. Previously I had only read one short story by Jude Deveraux (combined with several other authors into one book). I just ordered "The Summerhouse" and I'm sure will read more of her books.
The book is very good and it completely engrosses you with these women and the time travel wakes up the imagination. I loved it.
Jude has done it again! I love her books and each one leaves me thirsting for the next. I had to remind myself several times that I was reading a fiction, not a non-fiction book. She is that believing in the way she writes.
With her shining gift for "exquisite and enchanting"(BookPage)storytelling, Jude Deveraux sweeps readers away in a breathtaking follow-up to her belovedNew York Timesbestseller,The Summerhouse-- where a marvelous new adventure awaits.

Magic most definitely resides in the Maine summerhouse where the mysterious Madame Zoya has granted the innermost wishes of its visitors. Now, three women have come to this special place with one thing in common: a painful past they would each like to rewrite. Amy, who hides a heartbreaking loss behind her seemingly perfect marriage and family...Faith, a widow in her thirties whose deepest grief is for a man from years ago...and Zoë, an artist shunned by her hometown for reasons she doesn't know, after a traumatic night erased her memory. With their mystical powers, Madame Zoya and her sister Primrose are about to transport the trio to eighteenth-century England to alter Amy's ancestry. But although surprises await each of them, will stepping back in time bring the women the happy endings they seek?

(Masters of Time)

(One of my favorite authors)

(A cynical review(Only for Brenda Joyce Fans))

(Stunning! Fantastic!)

(Great read for alone time)

I have never read Brenda Joyce till now. I enjoyed this series a great deal. I recomend this to every one who likes these types of romance.
Very quick delivery and my favorite author. I am there with the characters while reading these most enjoyable stories.
If you have a hobby of colecting romantic paperbacks, this book needs to be in your library.It has all the ingredients that a romance book reader needs to enjoy a lazy afternoon.The perfect strong charactered, suffering hero.A heroine who is compassionate and needs to heal the pain.what more would i need in my novel.
Oh!!! a gripping story line.
Now i gave my 4 stars for the romance and not for the story.The story involves a lot of time travelling.At one time i was a little confused due to the characters doing a lot of time travel.i had to go back and get the dates right so that i could keep up with the story.Well in the end thankfully the writer did explain and make it easier to understand.
Since i love all of her books and kept reading this, and it was worth it in the end.
Sorry for giving such a contradicting review.
What i really want to say is that ---This book is only for Brenda Joyce fans.If you are new to her books then do not start with Dark Victory.Her De-Warenne series are the best bet.
Really pulls you into the story. I have enjoyed reading Brenda Joyces' "Master of Time" series. Can't wait for more!!
Although this is a "series" book, it is not necessary to (but highly recommended) read the entire series.
Great for quiet rainy days and to let your mind wander on "what if we could travel back or forward for that matter in time to meet our soulmates".
A dark, ruthless Highlander, the Black Macleod has refused his destiny. His life is revenge for the massacre of his family. His enemies' insults—that he is a man of stone—only amuse him. But fate is impatient, and when a woman from another time dares to summon him, he cannot resist her powers—or her.…

A schoolteacher by day, Tabitha Rose uses her magic to protect others by night. When the vision of a dark Highlander, bloody and burned, appears to Tabby, she knows she has been called to help him, no matter how frightening he might be. But what Tabby doesn't expect is to be taken against her will to his dark, violent time. And when evil begins to stalk her, she realizes she must fight for far more than his destiny—she must fight for her love.…

(Excellent series!)

(Oh, wow this book was so good!)

(Hawk is a great hero)

(If you like the Twilight Series......)

(Beyond the highland Mist)

I loved this Highlander series, funny and romantic, a must read (all seven of them)! I totally recommend her Fever series as well. Great author!!
I can't say enough about this book. Let's put it this way, I didn't want it to end!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED READING THIS BOOK!
Very enjoyable love story but here is the problem...one too many "obstacles" to the happy ending. I understand that part of building the tension in a romance novel is the obstacles which must be overcome but I think there should be a max to this device. Two or three obstacles is reasonable but "Beyond the Highland Mist" throws obstacle after obstacle at the couple; it was frustrating.

The good points of this book just barely out weight the "obstacle" problem. A wonderful her and heroine; this is a couple you want to see have a happy ending. Their love is strong and passionate. I love romances where the hero woos the reluctant heroine.
Karen Moning's writing style is comparable to Stephenie Meyer's (author of Twilight) only a bit better, since she isn't as repetitious with adjectives. There are more adult (but tastefully done) situations than Twilight, but if you're a fan of that series, you should love Karen Moning's Highlander books. Another good series to look into, is the Scotland based series by Jen Holling, whose interesting scenarios are as equally as outstanding as Karen Moning's.

I've read the whole Highlander series (books 1-7), they are difficult to put down. There are very few books I can say that about.
This series by Karen Marie Moning is a MUST read. I love the sexy scottish heroes and the story lines are thrilling and are hard to put down.
This is the first of the series and one of the best if you love macho men and fiesty heroines, As well as seductive faries.
He would sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . .

An alluring laird...

He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart--until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length--but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.

A prisoner in time...

She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . . .

(Outlandish review)

(a glimpse into the mind of the author...genius that she is!)

(outlandish companion)

(Great information guide)

(Great insight into the Outlander series)

This book is very educational. The author is extremely detailed about the creation of her characters. If you're like me, when you read a good book the characters become real people. You become a part of their lives. This book is like the history of the fictional people whose lives you've become a part of. Very good.
This companion only encompasses the first 4 books of the series but reveals an immense amount of information and insight! From reading the synopsis' (over 200 pages long for sure) to discovering the histories of main characters and showing how their family trees connect and interact. There's an extensive section on Gaelic (with brief instruction on basic spelling, grammar and pronunciation) the meanings of certain phrases is handy to have. I have not come anywhere CLOSE to finishing the Outlandish Companion but I hope there will be another one encompassing the entire series!
I was very happy with the product - I knew it wasn't new but the wear on the book was extremely slight and it came sooner than I was told to expect it.
It's not a requirement, but it's full of information and facts that are worthy of looking at (like the one about a Scot nicknamed the DunFrazer, who hid out in caves) and the pronunciation guide for Gaehlig (or Gaelic, depending on the region and country you're from). This is also a good resource for those studying the Isles, Culloden, Scottish-American History and similar subject matter and need a reference guide.
This is an excellent companion book to the Outlander series of books. I would recommend this book to any reader who wants a bit more information on the process of writing. Was a bit disappointing to find extracts of her more recent novels in this book... a bit like paying for the same books twice, but apart from that, it was very interesting. Was also a lot cheaper to buy from Amazon new that to buy second hand of another site in Australia.

(All Time Favorite)

(If you love romance, look elsewhere.)

(Worth the Read)

(A Real Romance Novel)

(Everyone's Knight in Shining Armor)

Time travel romance began with Jude Deveraux's A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR. It still remains one of the most read books in this genre.
Love spans centuries and cultures, one of the best by a major romance author who keeps gaining fans.

Ok. I know I will not be popular in saying this, but this book was a horrible waste of good romance reading time. Like many of you I have been reading romance novels of many kinds since junior high (if not earlier). I read this book in 1989 (when it was first published). This was my first time-travel read and I was engrosed by the idea and characters right away (though having both the male and female leads with masculine names was confusing and slightly annoying). However, at the end of this book, I was ready to swear off romance novels, or at least time travel romance novels forever. To this day I am still gun shy when (if) I read them. Let's face it, if we're reading fantasy or romance we expect a happily ever after, otherwise what is the point? I realize life does not always have a happy ending, but if I was interested in real life I wouldn't read a paranormal romance right? I would stick with biographies or historical non-fiction By the way, I enjoy all literature, but I dislike incontinuity. Unless it's a mystery or suspense, I don't want the rug pulled out from under me in a romance novel mainly speaking when it comes to the main characters love story.
If you like your romance novel with a happy ending, DON'T read this book! Though I liked Devereaux's other novels, this one was horrible. Do yourself a favor and try another of hers. Or better yet, try Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series, with these you won't be disappointed at all.
This book is definately worth a read. It is entertaining, witty, and romantic. Unfortunately, it is also, at times, unrealistic, trite and silly. Despite the negatives, I could not put it down...I needed to know how it ended. The author did rush the ending and wrapped it up so quickly I felt that she she had simply reached her page limit.
This is a real romance novel, the second I've ever read. Charming Dougless Montgomery, unliberated and man-dependent, meets Nicholas Stafford - a real knight in shining armor - miraculously transported from the 16th century to the present. Together, they travel through time to change history and set a course for everlasting love.

This novel has to be read in the correct light vein because it is definitely politically incorrect. If you can get over that, it is a good read.
I read this book in a single evening...that should say it all, but if not here is more. A Knight in Shining Armor is absolutely enchanting. It is everything you could hope for from a romance, with the exotic appeal of time travel and a rich air of mystery. The characters are strong, witty, and after all this time, after all the books I have devoured I still remember Douglass Montgomery and Nicholas Stanford as one of my favorite romantic pairs. Of course that could be because I have read this book over and over, bought anther because I have worn the previous one out, and reread it once again. The culture of England is richly described, the setting decadent and fulfilling. Jude Deveraux has magic at her fingertips. She has turned out one amazing book after another. There is no questioning her talents as a writer. She makes writing appear effortless, with her flawless weaving of tales. Sit back and enjoy and if you feel differently I will have to pass it off as you having a bad day.

(Best yet!!!)

(Romance)

(Entertaining but not well planned)

(Sexy Immortal Highlander! Who could resist?!)

(Another great Highlander Series book!!)

I absolutly loved this book. In my opinion, the best Karen Marie Moning book yet (although this is only the 3rd book in the series). I loved both of the main characters. Lisa Stone is extremely strong willed, confident, and intelligent and wasn't annoying like Adrienne in the first book IMO. The sexy highlander, Circenn Brodie, is a perfect hero to the story. I'm basically in love with his character after reading this story. The romance between Circenn and Lisa is heartwarming and hot. I couldn't get enough. My only complaint is that I wish the story would have gone longer and we could see what happened to Circenn and Lisa after their marriage. But I'm sure this will come in the later book, especially the only with Adam.

If you want a heartwarming, sweet, and seriously hot romance, then you need to read this book!!!
All of these highlander books are a great read. Who wouldn't like to find one? The story has a great plot and enough sex to keep you wishing for more. Takes you through time and back with all of her heros and the women they find. I would say read it and keep it for reading again.
I read "To Tame a Highland Warrior" last week and loved it and finished "The Highlander's Touch Today." I found the quality of the two books vastly different with "The Highlander's Touch" being likeable but lacking overall. The heroine, Lisa, is well developed. She is strong but not without her insecurities, which makes her believable. I enjoyed Circenn, as well. Their relationship, however, did not develop in a believable manner. Circenn is domineering, reticent, and distant at first, but then he quickly, and with little explanation, becomes doting and sentimental with the turn of a page. The plot seemed to be hastily contrived with monumental events coming and going quickly leaving the reader wondering if some of the subplots were truly necessary, such as a beautiful woman who denies the irresistible Duncan. He walks off with a wounded ego and nothing is ever heard of again related to this incident. Perhaps she is establishing Duncan's character now but saving him for another book in her series? If this is the case, some of these scenes are rough in their transition within the story line. Be prepared to accept alot of what happens as a result of magic and fairy intervention. Overall, the plot is swift to the point of rushed.

If one is looking for a quick, fluffy read, then this will do. Although I recommend "To Tame a Highland Warrior" over this one; the relationships in that novel are more complex and fleshed out in greater detail. The plot is also thoroughly developed in "Tame." If one prefers more historical "meat" to their literature, then I would recommend Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, which is more detailed, accurate, and informative in its historical references. I will read other novels from Moning's Highlander series though as she is talented in making unique characters within a similar historical context, and the reads offer romance that is engaging but rarely over-the-top.
I haven't read the Highlander series in a long time so I decided to reread them all. Highlander's Touch was just as good as I remembered! Moning leaves you truly satisfied.

Circenn Brodie is an immortal Scottish warrior who lives in a world of rules and magic. He is the guardian of all the fae's sacred relics. Though he loses one in particular, a flask which he has cursed so that whoever the unfortunate person is will bring the flask to him. What Circenn doesn't know is that the curse can bring someone all the way through time. He had made an oath to Adam Black, the Faery fool to kill whoever came with the flask.

Poor Lisa Stone is that very unfortunate person. She is thrown back 700 years in time, leaving her dying mother and incurring debt back home. Extremely distraught Lisa tries to find her way back to her own time, but loses her heart to Circenn in the process. Lisa forces Circenn to break all his rules, rules he had in place to keep him from going mad. Some of the rules are "will never kill an innocent","never lie", and "will never break an oath", etc. Will their love survive time? Will Lisa get to hold her dying mother's hand one last time? What is Adam Black up too?

find out and enjoy Highlander's Touch!Its an amazing book =)
This is another Karen Moning book that features characters from the MacKeltar storyline. All I can say is...READ THIS BOOK! It is a great mixture of magic, highlands, passion&humor. The characters are well developed and get you itching to read the rest of the MacKeltar books (#1 "Kiss of the Highlander" - (Drustans story),#2 "Dark Highlander" (drustans twin), #3 "Immortal Highlander" (Adam Black - side character interacting w/ MacKeltars), #4 "Spell of the Highlander" (part of MacKeltar clan), #5 "Highlander's Touch" (seperate story linked w/ Adam Black), #6 "Into the Dreaming" - a novella that features the fairy queen mentioned in the other books. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the order to read them in. There is not real official order in which to read them. All I know is once you finish this book, you will be itching to read the rest. ENJOY!!!
A Warrior Of Immortal Powers

He was a mighty Scottish warrior who lived in a world bound by ancient laws and timeless magic. But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty—and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also
the woman he had foresworn to destroy.

A Woman Caught In The Mists Of Time

When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling...into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real...and too dangerously arousing. Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her...plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own....
