With a deadline looming and writer's block making writing a book impossible Amelia Landry is in a tough position. Fortunately her friend and assistant ZuZu has devised a plan to infuse a little inspiration in her life. She'll be spending a month in the Scottish Highlands at a supposedly haunted fourteenth-century tower house. She might just be embarking on the biggest venture of her life - and what a story she'll have to share with the world.

Laird Ethan Munro and his men have been living in limbo since a battle in the early 1300's when his new wife was murdered and he was accused of killing her. They've lived for centuries neither alive nor dead and only physically able to touch, eat, really live for one hour each twilight. Of all the people who have come to the Munro Keep, Amelia is the first who not only can see them; she's the first who's captivated by them - especially Laird Munro.

Amelia isn't one to shy away from anything mystical. As a mystery writer she loves the unexpected and part of the draw to the Highlands is the chance of an encounter with a ghostly being. She just never envisioned that she'd become involved in an ancient mystery and actually meet the very man so embroiled in legends. While she enchants them with her modern speech, clothing and outgoing personality, Laird Ethan and his warriors charm her with their curious natures, protective attitudes and fun loving acceptance of her presence in their lives. For Ethan, her presence presents a bit of a problem because he's falling for her and doesn't want to risk losing her to the sinister being who enforced this enchantment on him and his men.

Amelia's determined to help free these men from their `ghostly' existence, but is she fully prepared for the results of her meddling? Can she possibly correct the wrongs these men suffered centuries before? There's no denying that she's falling in love with Laird Munro. What will happen if they're unable to be together if/when they find a way to reverse the enchantment?

Cindy Miles completely captivated me with her newest book HIGHLAND KNIGHT. This is one of those books that blends the past and present perfectly with plenty of humor, romance, historical charm, and witty dialogue. I was glued to the storyline and loved how the characters interacted with each other. I love the Scottish burr that sends shivers down your spine as you imagine these warriors speaking the phrases - and for those of you who insist on actual Gaelic in these sorts of stories, there are even some Gaelic terms, which I have to admit are downright sexy even if I didn't fully understand the translations (and yes I did look a few of them up). Ms. Miles has officially won me over with this captivating tale and I hope to see many more of her stories in the future.

This is my first Cindy Miles book and I was not disappointed. The heroine was quirky, independent and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed her banter with the Highland men and what she brought out in her love, Ethan. One thing I wish Ms. Miles could have explained better was the ending. A little more detail on how the "wrong" was "righted" and the details on what happened after that until the conclusion of the story. Otherwise a great light read.

Amelia goes to Scotland to write her book and while staying at this old castle she comes across some enchanted knights. While she helps the knights solve the mystery of why they are enchanted she falls in love with Ethan the hunky Highlander! Her books just get better and better - if you haven't read them I would suggest picking up Into Thin Air (Signet Eclipse) and Spirited Away (Signet Eclipse) and Enjoy!

Excellent story, A true page turner, I loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!! a must read!!! Excellent author!! I'm going to read all the books written by this author. Enjoy

I absolutely love this book. Amelia is a writer with a bad case of writers block, so her best friend sends her on a trip to Scotland in the highlands to stay in a supposedly haunted castle. which intrigues Amelia since she loves all things to do with horror...so she goes only to find out that the beautiful and ancient castle is haunted by the dead sexy Ethan Munro and his clansmen. only they're not actually dead....they're enchanted. they are able to gain substance for an hour every night at the "gloaming hour" and are able to eat, bathe, and anything else they could want to do. Ethan and his men get Amelia to help them find out exactly what happened to his wife, and he and his clansmen the night of Ethans marriage so many years ago and end up finding love in the process. I don't do this book any justice by explaining it on here since i'm not good at describing things all that well, but believe me when i say that this is my favorite book ever, and it's the sweetest and most enjoyable love story i've ever read. Cindy Miles is my new favorite author.

I have read all of Cindy Miles books and they are so good. I thoroughly enjoyed Highland Knight and I would recommend this book to anyone that likes paranormal romances.

I have come to love Cindy Miles as an author. Her stories are inspired and clever and just plain fun! She's also very personable having replied to a question I posed to her about her novels. Enjoy!

It's a keeper!

Highland Knight is a quick and fun read. Ethan, the hero, is very charming and likeable. I found the heroine to be a tad annoying at times with her speech. But overall, she was likeable too. Together, they had great chemistry. You could feel the tension and the love grow between them and without the autor resorting to sex, sex, sex. Which, I personally, found to be a breath of fresh air in the genre.

The other knights and Guthrie, the caretaker of the haunted estate added a nice touch of humor.

I also appreciated the fact that the heroine actually waits to have sex until they are married at the end of the book. Very well done!

Highly recommend this read for anyone who likes a paranormal romance.

Excellent tale..Loved it... and I shall go and pick up more of Cindy Miles books..
The touch of comedy, along with the gorgeous hunks, was perfect.
Indulge and Be Delighted..

Mystery novelist, Amelia Landry, decides to beat her writers block by traveling to a 14th century tower in the Scottish Highlands. But it's not just any old tower. It's a haunted one. This thrills Amelia to no end. She loves being scared out of her wits and hopes this trip might jump start her writers block. She has no idea that it will not only do just that, but will also change her life completely.

Laird Ethan Munro and his warriors vanished during a bloody battle hundreds of years before. They've spent the last seven centuries as enchanted beings, neither alive nor dead, looking for someone to help them solve the mystery behind their disappearance. When Amelia steps foot into his castle, Ethan is positive this is the one person who will be their saving grace. Little does he know that Amelia will become a whole lot more than that.

I had no idea what to expect with this book. Cindy Miles has a great way of creating a unique twist on the paranormal/ghost story theme. She didn't disappoint with this new story line that was completely different than her previous two (how does she come up with these ideas????). I LOVED the easy banter and sexy tone. I loved the Tae Kwon Do lessons and could easily see Amelia trying not to peak as the warriors practiced their kicks, thus answering the age old question of what do they wear under those kilts. I even dug out my copy of the movie Dirty Dancing after picturing those vivid scenes where Amelia taught Ethan some of those moves.

This was a great book and I honestly couldn't put it down. I'm positive you won't be able to either. If you want a fun, sexy ghost story, definitely check out Highland Knight.

FYI - Cindy Miles happens to hold the top spot on my `Must Buy' book list - I love her books THAT much.
