I dont know which of the twin's stories I like best- Drustan's (Kiss of the Highlander) or Dageus's (The Dark Highlander)- but both are top of the game. At the end of Drustan's story we find Dageus sacrificing his sanity and, for all he knew his very life to see his beloved brother reunited with his mate- but at a cost.

The Dark Highlander begins with Dageus alone in 20th century Manhattan desperately searching for a way to free himself from the 13 evil spirits taking up residence within his body for breaking an ancient pact for personal gain. But he's not alone long, after intrepid Chloe Zanders takes it upon herself to investigate the artifacts spread throughout Dageus's palatial home while making a less than routine delivery.

Chloe has no idea that she's just changed her world forever and that the man who holds the key to ancient Celtic artifacts recently gone missing also holds the key to her heart.

It will take them both to set The Dark Highlander free once and for all but can they do it before Dageus gives in to the darker urges pressing in on him, which will loose the darkness on the unsuspecting world and bring about cataclysmic destruction?

These two books, along with the final book in Moning's popular Highlander series (Spell of the Highlander) are by far my favorites. The men are sexy and in Dageus's case, extremely duressed, yet show all the noble characteristics we love in a romance novel hero. Strong in mind and spirit, Dageus knows his time is short and he's barely keeping the evil within him under control- until he meets the woman who will save his life. He doesnt know this of course, but he does know he needs to protect her, even from himself. Yet Chloe is too clever and curious by far and when she finds out what's really going on-matches him every way! Perfect H/h and hot romance at its best. Dont miss it!

(Dageus is definitely a precursor to another popular character in Moning's Fever series- if you cant get enough of Barron's read this book- plus it gives some subtle clues as to what's going on in the Fever world!) ...more

I don't think this review will be long because I don't have much to say. I will say that this is the last book that I'll be reading in this series. And no, I didn't hate it, it's just not for me. I don't know. Maybe I felt like both stories I've read so far were long for no reason? I think this could have been shorter.

I did like how Chloe didn't immediately jump Dageus bones the minutes she saw him. She was at least smart about that. I thought it was funny how her moods changed when she was in h ...more

I wasn't too sure about this book when I picked it up as I didn't really care for Dageus in the last book. But after getting to know him he was great fun to read about. I really liked Chloe too, her love of relics cracked me up as it sure gave Dageus a easy in with her. Their chemistry was explosive and I was glad when they both gave into it. I loved that we got to check in with all of the characters from the last book and that all of them were concerned about Dageus. With all that we learned in ...more
