Damn, it's good to be Adam Black - sorry, I couldn't resist, LOL - but I bet it's better to be Adam Black's lover!
Adam is one of those heroes you just love to hate - or hate to love, either way works for me. He was selfish, arrogant, manipulative and didn't have any qualms about using anyone and anything to his own advantage. He was also as handome and sexy as one can be, which only helped him to get what he wanted. BUT there was something beneath all that, something that shouldn't be there cons...more

There should be a vaccine against Adam Black. And all women should be given it at birth.
If I swoon any further from this series I would just melt into the floor/pavement/W.E. Although I didn't get enough of my favorite Kilt wearers, but what I did get was Adam Black and this dole been approved.
Story resumes shortly before the events of

The Immortal Highlander was another 5+ instalment from the Highlander series :) Karen Marie Moning just keeps getting better and better with every book :)
I've read the first one and didn't like it much, but in a way I'm glad because Adam Black first appeared in that one :) Although, I have to say, he was pretty bad in the beginning, I would never have thought he'd get his own book, he was like the bad guy :O But boy am I glad he did <3

So, I was trying to ease my Fever withdrawal pains by reading one of Moning's Highlander romances. Pretty much had to drop it after 15 minutes of listening to it. I should have known it wouldn't work for me after hearing this, right at the beginning:
Adam Black:
Tuatha De Danaan, a rogue even among his own kind. His favored glamour is that of an intensely sexual Highland blacksmith with a powerful rippling body, golden skin, long black hair, mesmerizing eyes. Highly intelligent, lethally seductive...more

Adam Black has been the only constant character through out this series and to be honest although he is drop dead gorgeous (and I would never ever kick him out of bed given the chance) I didn't think I would like his book all too much because he has always been such an arrogant tool.
But *hangs head in shame* I should have had more faith in Karen Marie Moning - she has never disappointed me before.

I'm not exactly sure why I've been avoiding to write a review for this book. Possibly because it feels so final that I've completed Adam Black's book. Anyway, this is one of those really good books that deserves a sparkling review, so here goes:
The book starts with our very favorite hero, Adam Black. Yes, the Fae who has meddled with countless human lives during the earlier books and is exceedingly arrogant under both Fae and human parameters. Anyway, he's an odd duck among the Fae since he actu...more

Wow! Just Wow! I adore this book. Adore it! By far my favorite of the series.
Adam Black *dreamy sigh* is an immortal dark Fae prince with an abundance of mischievousness, arrogance, dangerous unpredictability, and a devilish insatiable sexuality. He's the ultimate seducer. The story begins with Adam being punished by the Faery Queen (who adores him, of course) for his repeated interference with his "toy" humans.

3.5 stars. I loved that this book really felt like an extension of the Fever series! Bringing Drustan and and Dageus back and tying Christian's family to Adam was genius! If you only have time to read one Highlander book before the release of Shadowfever, this is the one! There is so much crossover Fever goodness in this one. Although, I'd really say to start at book 4 and get caught up with Drustan and Dageus first before getting to Adam's story if you have the time.

Awe Adam Black. How I love you and your cocky immortal self.
This story was just awesome. It was completely different to me than the rest of the Highlander series. It almost seemed to be a prequel to the Fever series. I loved how the highly arrogant immortal just couldn't stand being a "mere mortal' yet relied so much upon one. I absolutely adored getting a glimpse into Daegus and Drustan's life and of course taking a little trip back to Scot...more

OOOOoooo! This series is the best highlander series I have EVER READ! I am so sad and disappointed that she has decided not to add on to this! I want one for my own! MMmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm! I just can't get enough of this family! HOT STEAMY & A great mystery, curses & a twist of paranormal whether it be fae berserker or time travel, I love them all!
ETA (after finished): I was *this* close to being convinced that I should change it to two stars, but then the ending. It slew me. So back to one star, it is.
I'm not sure what this book was trying to tell me. Except that the main characters are hot (not in my standards, unfortunately) and they have to have lots of sex? And go about things all illogical-like? And that erm... (view spoiler)...more

Sometimes you come across a book that doesn't exactly make sense and it isn't believable at all yet you find yourself loving it anyway. This was one of those books for me. The best way to put it is if you're going to read this book and break it down to where you are pointing out why it doesn't make sense and how it's shallow and all it talks about is sex, you probably won't enjoy it. This book is meant to be a fun read, it's meant to be every womans fantasy all conveniently packaged into one bei...more
The more of this series I read, the less consistent the time travel seems. Every book seems to have its own rules that don't quite mesh with later books. In this one it is claimed that the Tuatha Dé can't travel to the future, only the past, but when you can move through time, what determines the past, present, and future? If time doesn't bind you, then they really have no meaning, and the more I try to make sense of this the less I understand. What happens if someone from the "future" travels t...more
I'm pretty sick of saying the same thing...EVERY FREAKING ONE OF THESE BOOKS HAVE THE SAME FORMAT. Here's a summary of EVERY FREAKING BOOK IN THIS SERIES:
The heroine: an unsuspecting, blonde, beautiful, petite (except Circenn's wife), 20-something year old virgin has finally made a life for herself from her less than perfect upbringing. She can feel that her life's not perfect and there's something missing in it.

I was riveted by her Fever series. I had hoped to continue my obsession with the series of The Highlanders. Although I love the books (even though they do not compare), i think i should have read these first to fully appreciate the storyline. Te first few in the series were good, I'm not gonna lie ... but i read through them as they were an oasis and I was dying of thirst.

Every time I finish one of the books in this series, I always think “that was my favorite!” Seriously, this one is my favorite. It was so good. I just love Adam Black. He’s shown his face in a few of the previous books, and it was so nice to hear his story. They’ve all been pretty sweet, but this one was the sweetest. I was so giddy by the end.

Karen Marie Moning has done two outstanding things in this series and primarily this book. First she gives us these incredibly hot Highlander male leads and pairs them with fiercely strong, take no crap female leads and tells us a great love story. Second, she has created a whole new world with her books. A world where Druids and Faeries exist and co-mingle – and it’s a detailed world, with secrets and enchantments, bad guys and your run of the mill, everyday faery politics.

This was my favorite of Moning's Highlander series, all of which I liked. Immensely enjoyable to listen to, narrated by Phil Gigante from audible.com, sappy bits and all. Adam Black is the biggest and the baddest of all the Scots heroes, and so this book really seemed like the culmination of a longer story--as he is at least mentioned in all the others. (Perhaps not in the one with Jillian and Grimm.) Although, there is a seventh book after this one.

A few notes before I dive into this. The Immortal Highlander is book 6 in Moning's Highlander series. I've read 1 & 5, as well as her Fae Fever series, so I had wee bit of background going in to this book. That said, it's not impossible to pick this up without having any prior knowledge of anyone in the series.

I've never had a free Kindle download that worked out quite so well before, but back when the first book of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, Darkfever, was available, I downloaded it just to see what it was about. I've been a monster fan of KMM's writing ever since.

This a great book for many reasons. It's a fun romance on its surface, but it's also a treasure trove of Easter Eggs for fans of both the Highlander and Fever series.

Karen Marie Moning is an excellent romance writer. Her Highlander Series of Romance novels are unique and interesting. All of her books are page-turners that you just can't put down - or get out of your mind until you've finished the last page, but 'The Immortal Highlander' is by far, at least for this reader, one of the best of the series. Adam Black is a Tuatha De Danaan - a highly advanced race of immortal beings that settled in Ireland thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Adam is a...more

This one was the funniest form all of them. And the most important for the Faefever addicted... For his interference with the Keltar's in the last book ( book 5) Adam Black is punished and send to the human world as - human!*snorts* Really, when the other Highlanders were Sex on Legs, Adam Black is their god - *swoooooon* Combine the beauty of Fae with the sex of a Highland warrior, add a good sense of humor and you have Adam Black ! The end is heartbreakingly beautiful, this I can assure you!

“Tuatha Dé,” Adam corrected irritably. “You’re bloody well making me sound like Tinkerbell.”
“Holy cow,” Chloe said faintly.
“No kidding,” Gwen breathed.
The sexy Fae prince flashed them a smile that was pure devilish charm, sexy and playful and mischievous, briefly catching the tip of his tongue between white teeth, before his lip curved, dark eyes sparkling gold.
Gabby groaned. She choked on it hastily, camouflaging it with a dry little cough. Her own private stash of eye candy had just been made available for public consumption and she didn’t like it one bit.
Apparently she wasn’t the only one.
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Dageus?” Drustan said irritably.
“Och, aye,” Dageus said darkly. “You liked him better invisible too?”
“Och, aye.”
“Should I curse him again?”
“Och, aye.”
Adam threw back his head and laughed, eyes sparkling with gold fire. “Bloody hell, it’s good to be back,” he purred.”
