A medieval Templar assigned to protect a secret treasure

A modern woman alone against a powerful sect

An ancient text ties them together before they even meet…

And then Grace came to Creag Dhu.

Read and re-read since the 90’s, for some reason, this romance novel always draws me in. Probably because it blends different sub-genres of romance so expertly- and dang, is the hero hot.

A chick book for sure, I will admit I can see it being a hard one to get into because it's so not romance n...more

3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 for a fantastic first 2/3 of the novel.

This was supposed to be a time-travel romance. But what I actually read was completely unexpected--and so much better! Barring some awkward plot twists towards the end, this was a good read.

The description of the book above is fairly accurate. Grace, an archeologist specializing in medieval languages, stumbles upon a set of documents relating to the great treasure of the Knights of the Templar. Soon after, a mysterious organi...more

What a surprise! Can't compare this to anything else I have ever read. It was very different but in a good way.

Previous to this, I only read one book by Linda Howard

and it had quite a bit of humor. There was no humor in this one - in fact, it was very suspenseful and even a bit violent (nothing too bad, though)

So there's a whole lot of stuff that goes on and I can't even give it an adequate summary. If you like time travel, large doses of crazy villains, lots of history, a super sexy Scotsman (this is kind of rude to say, but can't forget his sizable package!), some great secondary characters (really liked Harmony) and some sizzling love scenes, well, you are going to love this book! Second half moves much faster than the first half, imo.

Something that doesn't generally appeal to me is when the same heroine has two love interests. That's very hard for an author to write. As a reader, my loyalty would generally go to the first love and when the second one was introduced, I'd be kind of upset and not want it to happen. Probably the way I'm explaining this is not very clear but I don't want to give too much away. Let's just say Ms. Howard masterfully wrote this scenario and I loved the way she worked it out. Please do not read this if you don't want to know the ending. (view spoiler)

This was recommended to me - Thank you, Jennifer! (less)

I really liked this book. The pictures the descriptions relate are very vivid, and yet I think this could have been achieved with a shorter book and a lot less words. It didn't really gain steam until well into the second half.

The subject of the Templars and the treasure has been done extensively, especially over the last few years. But I found this interpretation original enough to make the story interesting, and as the book was written over 10 years ago, this lends to the interest. I have not...more

This book wasn't horrible or anything, but it just didn't give me what I look for when I pick up a romance novel. Most of it was more of a thriller/mystery/crime novel; Grace doesn't even meet Niall until the last quarter of the book, if that. I got impatient watching her dodge bad guys and work on her translation, even if it was somewhat satisfying seeing her outwit her enemies and get stronger.

I actually like the story, the hero and the heroine. which is most important in any good romance novels.

It's about time travel so not a dish that you usually get from Linda Howard's plate. And it took quite sometime before both main characters met.

The story is about a Knight Templar document which promised power and wealth beyond imagination. and because of this, Grace's life change forever.

She doesn’t know exactly what she did to deserve this cruel fate, but she has reason to believe that it has something to do with the ancient pages from the Knights of the Templar that she has been translating.

Forced to live her life on the run from both the police and the murderer, Grace spends her time working low paying jobs and attempting to translate the Gaelic pages. She is determined to find out what is so important about the pages, and also find a way to destroy the real killer. Surprisingly, she makes a few friends along the way.

Eventually she discovers that in order to keep the secrets of the Knights of the Templar out of the hands of an evil man, she will have to travel to ancient Scotland. She needs to find the Highlander who is guarding the Templar’s greatest secret and greatest treasure.

Is it possible, after everything she has gone through, that Grace will find love in the past?

I chose to read this book for the 2011 Highlander Reading Challenge because it is on Karen Marie Moning’s favorites list. KMM is one of my favorite authors of all time, so I figured any book she loves would be a book that I would love.

By the end, I did wind up loving this book. But truthfully, it took a long time for me to get into it. The entire first half of the book was about Grace’s life on the run, and it all took place in present day. This part of the book would have been a 3/5 rating for me. It was written really well, but all the hiding just overwhelmed the story. I would have preferred spending a lot less time in present day and a lot more time in the fantasy side of the story in Scotland.

The second half of the story was incredible strong. It was as well written as the first, but it was also layered in fantasy, magic, love, and excitement – all of the elements I look for. I would have definitely rated the second half of the book 5/5. To be fair, I suppose I should average the two for my overall rating. I do highly recommend this book to fans of Highlander books, but just be aware that it will take a while to get to the fantasy elements. Also keep in mind that this is not part of a series

I almost had to give this five stars just because I have now finally read a time travel romance in which the author seems to understand that a 20th century American is unlikely to understand 14th century Scottish Gaelic. In this case, Grace St. John is an expert in ancient languages, though she still struggles with Gaelic.

This really was a very good book. For a time travel romance, not much of the book was set in the past, and the two main characters spent little time together. Yet it worked, b...more

I have to admit at first I didn't particularly like it, though time-travel is one of my favorite genre, but unfortunately the actual time-travel happened in the last fifty pages or so.

The prologue was too long, then, the pacing was a tad too slow for my liking, the heroine was too wimpy for a romantic suspense, and the whole conundrum around the Templar treasure and the power it held slowed the pacing even more.
Then, slowly, slowly the story picked up speed and when the heroine underwent her enormous change, metamorphosing from a witing violet of an academic into tough, street-smart chick, determined to take on her husband's and brother's killer, I knew I had quite a little gem in my hand. It took a while, but I started to enjoy the story, and having fun with it.

More than a romance or a suspense novel, this is a story of growth, of maturing, of change a lone woman goes through when everything she knew and loved is gone. Grace grew from a shy little girl (of 30) into a strong, tenacious, resilient woman in front of my eyes. She matured into a woman worthy of a fourteenth-century Scottish warrior. And though the time between the beginning and their actual meeting was quite long, I understood it, and welcomed it.
Because Grace wasn't ready to meet her destiny with Niall at the beginning of the book. First, she was married to another, then she was just a shell of a woman, frightened and alone, incapable of taking care of herself. She needed that journey to grow into the new woman, the woman Niall could love, the woman who was worthy to be with him, to stand at his side, to stand at the Guardian's side.
Sure, the whole in-between plot and story might seem like a cheap trick to prolong "the agony" and fill the pages, but once you get to the end of this book, you'll see the wait for worth it. Grace needed to grow up, to learn, and she did, splendidly.

Though the suspense might not have been the strongest, it still packed quite a punch. The villain was twisted and prepared to do anything to achieve his goal, the tension was palpable, the vise tightening around Grace tangible and frightening. And just when I thought I knew everything, Ms. Howard threw in another curve ball that left me reeling.

This book held just a hint of romance, concentrating mostly on the history and mythos of the Knights of the Temple and the suspense subplot, but I didn't miss the romantic aspect at all. The little vignettes of Niall and Grace getting to "know" each other through dreams, never actually talking to each other or touching until almost the end of the book, kept me satisfied on that front, and when they finally found themselves in the same time frame...Oh, boy, was I happy to have stuck around and waited.

This was a nicely-written, tightly-paced, and well-developped plot with great characters, wonderful suspense and tension, lovely and rather tender romance between a medieval Scottish rogue and a twentieth-century scholar, with that added mystique of the secrets of the Templars.
A wonderful, engaging book.(less)

Fluent in five ancient languages, married to another archaeologist and the love of her life. She never imagined that a cache of old documents would soon set her on a path of no return, one in which everything she holds dear and everything she has ever believed in will be put to the test.

I was enthralled from page one. Well, let me back up - page one of the first chapter. Someone really needs to tell Ms Howard that prologues aren't normally 13 pages long. But I digress. Grace is a scholar, a tad overweight, a bit nerdy. She speaks five ancient languages fluently, she's married to the only man she's ever had sex with, sickeningly in love with him. She doesn't wear makeup and one of her best friends is a teenage Bill Gates. I was truly at a loss as to how this could be a love story but I was so wrong. This entire novel is a love story, in differing degrees and once I had a chance to sleep on it and think about it, I came to the conclusion that Ms Howard truly outdid herself. This is brilliant.

The story starts out with Grace working on translating some ancient Celtic papers that hint at a lost treasure "more priceless than gold". It's written in several languages: Old English, Latin, Old French, ancient Gaelic...right up her alley and area of expertise. But someone wants these papers and they will kill to get them. Grace watches her husband and brother brutally murdered right in front of her eyes, protecting her whereabouts. (love of a husband/family) She goes on the run with nothing more than her laptop, the papers and the clothes on her back. Her teenage hacker friend helps her to clean out her bank account so she can leave the area until she knows whats going on (love of a friend). On the run, scared out of her mind, unable to conceive what's happened so far, she ends up in a series of towns working for cash, living in ratholes but all the while working on deciphering the Celtic papers.

It's while she is in Chicago that she begins her transformation. (love for her husband, brother and self) She discovers that the papers detail the story of one Knight Templar - Black Niall - who is guarding a treasure of untold riches. In shock that her family was slaughtered, that she herself is the target of a madman, for treasure? With the help of a boardinghouse landlady and a scrappy street fighter (love of friends) she begins her change from mousy, nondescript Grace to a woman who will stop at nothing for vengeance. She loses weight, changes her name and appearance and learns a few self defense techniques. Her husband and brother will not have died in vain.

I really loved Grace. This story is as much about her as it is about the treasure. If you've heard the saying that you don't know what you can accomplish until you have no other choice - this is Grace. It's heartbreaking to watch her exist, because that's all she is doing for a good part of the book. Unable to let herself grieve for her lost family, she becomes nearly anorexic, unable to sleep. Surviving but not living. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't turn into some badass chick overnight - or at all - she just does what she has to, when she has to, in order to carry on. Eventually she discovers a way to actually time travel to the era of Black Niall (a spoiler I won't give away) in the hopes she can prevent the killers from locating the Treasure (and yes, that's capitalized for a reason).

The relationship between her and Niall (romantic love) and the position that Niall holds (love of God and mankind) are spoilers which I won't get into but let me just say they are powerful. At this point, I could not have put this book down had I tried. The ending was wonderful. 5 stars and a recommended read
