I have to admit, before starting this book, I was what is officially known as a “highlander virgin”. My days I spent watching the TV show, Highlander (aptly put, don’t you think?) doesn’t come close to this!! This book had me humming and then full on singing the song to the highlander series. “I am immortal! I have inside me blood of Kings *aaahhhh* I have no rivals…. La la la la la…send me to the future of the world!!” I had dreams of William Wallace aka Brave Heart, riding into his village on I have to admit, before starting this book, I was what is officially known as a “highlander virgin”.

I even started using words like “bairns” and “lass” a total mind trip 
It’s the first time reading the highlander series, and although I’ve read the book out of sync, I plan to get right back on that Highlander horse and start at the beginning.
Jessica St James, a socially inept student, studying archaeology, lectures classes, and has no life to speak of. Meets Druid Cian Keltar from the highlands of Scotland.
I loved the characters so much; Jessi is one of those people to which strange things always happen to. Exceptionally funny and just an all round good heroine. Cian, well… Cian is a 6’5” sexy powerful Druid / evil sorcerer, with a devilish smile which can make a girl’s toes curl. Only problem is, he’s trapped in an unseely mirror. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the banter between Cian and Jessica, see, Cian… for all his gorgeousness had one flaw…. He’s extremely domineering, to a fault really. And Jessica, Jess just doesn’t roll that way. I loved the trip (running away form the baddies) they took, and how Cian laughs when Jess does something unintentionally funny. And when they reached Scotland, and stumbled across the other Keltars in the clan, it was complete testosterone overload. Though I loved the characters, I think I would have appreciated them more if I read the previous books. Also, I would have wanted to know more about Scotland, and Cian’s clan, and the way the druids lived… since I didn’t have a mental background to picture events taking place against. Also, I didn’t want the author to skip the magyck scenes….
*sigh* But all in all, a very entertaining read.

This addition to the MacKeltar tale in the series was a wonderful, fun, lots of smiles read!! I loved both characters, Cian and Jessi. I think I liked Jessi more than the other females/mates. But Gwen is a close second. Together these two led us on a beautiful journey of falling in love. There was extreme chemistry between the 2 from the start. Which I like. I hate it when characters have to "think about it". Either you have it or you don't. And I really enjoyed that the majority of the book was ...more

Shelves: 2010, romance

I think this one is my favorite of the series. Cian was so very much what you think of as a 9th century Highlander and Jessi was his match in so many ways, my favorite being when she would not put up with his lip and gave it right back to him.

The chemistry between these two was intense right from the start, Jessi shocking herself and Cian. Even later they seemed to forget all about where they were or who was around them.

I did love the larger story with the fae, and how the queen has been alterin ...more

This wasn't as good as the others... Maybe I just was fed up with the hot Scottish Dark hair man pairing up with a virgin (seriously, do they all have to be virgins?)

Too much talk about her boobs, who cares really?

Moning is a good writer, but I much prefer the Fever series.
I did feel like part of this book was rushed (once they got to the Castle)....
