Book Description

October 2009 Playaway Adult Fiction
Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling author Karen Moning stirs up a sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time . . . and the woman who’s about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move. It’s a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is a mere thirteen hundred years. . . .

Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain. So she figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man staring out at her from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when a split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of smoldering, insatiable alpha male.

Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying everything in his path–including the one woman who may just hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlander’s dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is not only tantalizingly real, he’s offering his protection–from exactly what, Jessi doesn’t know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite pleasure of sharing her bed.

Yet even as Cian’s insatiable hunger begins to work its dark magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallows–and the ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing less than the very fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives are at stake–as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes along but once in an ice age. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Scottish Delight!, September 13, 2005

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Oh, if only this book had been longer, I didn't want it to end! But if it hadn't I would have been up even later than 3am.

If your familliar with Moning's books you'll know this is a continuation in the Kelter Druid/ Faery series.And after reading the end of this book you find out that there are atleast 2 or 3 more books to come! The dialogue of this novel was so beautiful I may force my husband to read it and learn a thing or two!

Cian Kelter is the oldest of our druid hotties yet. A genetic freak born in the 9th century & made laird at birth, he has all the possible magical abilities bred into the Kelter line. Naively he invited another druid into the castle one night, an evil twisted man, and to sum up events Cian ended up stuck in an enchanted mirror perched on his enemies study wall for the past 1,133 years. And he'd have probably stayed there...if the magic that enabled a previous Kelter hotty to serve hadn't also triggered an unheard of string of events...

Passed through the black market and still trapped in his mirror, Cian has to hide out for 3 more weeks and his entrapment will end. He ends up in the round about possesion of Jessi St. James, an overworked anthropology graduate in Chicago. Convincing her to summon him from the mirror a few brief hours each day, Cian is able to slay the assasins the baddy sends after Jessi & himself only to find - with the hillarious help of his Kelter descendants- that Jessi is his soul mate. But winning his freedom may very well kill him & the love he feels...

The series in order:

Beyond the Highland Mist

To Tame a Highland Warrior

Kiss of the Highlander

The Dark Highlander

The Highlander's Touch

4.0 out of 5 stars An Alpha Male To Die For!!!, October 28, 2005
Ms. Moning's "Highlander" series is without a doubt one of the best series I've read. The lastest offering by this very talented author is Cian's story and this highlander is just like all of the rest in this series...hot, alpha, and brought down to earth by the love of his life.

Jessi St. James is over worked, and wondering if she is ever going to finally realize her dream of earning her PhD. But with one phone call her life is about to change. It's about to get more hectic, harried, and dangerous. It's also about to get a lot more exciting and one alpha male is about to make her feel real good. That is if she can keep herself alive and Cian out of the darn mirror....

Cian has called the dark mirror his prison for the last eleven hundred years. He wants out for good and it looks like that dream may become a reality. But first he must talk Jessi into believing that he's not a figment of her overworked imagination, and that she can count on him. It won't be easy as Jess doesn't respond to him as others do...his powers can't touch her. How on earth is that possible? Together these two fight to stay alive, find an end to the curse, and try to come to terms with the attraction that sparks between them. Will they be able to do this or will they fail...at one of them? After all a very dark and evil man is striving for them to fail.

Cian and Jess are an explosive combination. One of the things that I thrill to regarding Ms. Moning and her writing is we ALWAY get a chance to revisit with old friends (Drustin and Dageus, Chloe, Gwen)this in my opinion adds to the previous romances. Although at times this read was a tad predictable Ms. Moning's characters managed to keep it from being a total bore. Ms. Moning is an author that I purchase the second she has a book released...hardback, paperback...it matters not. What is important is the fact that you are guaranteed a good read that will leave you spellbound.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had a man like Cian, August 31, 2005
I absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED this book!!! Why are you sitting here reading this?! Why aren't you out getting the book?

I love the female character in this book. Most romance books are all the same... there is a stupid, weak, little girl who doesn't know half of what is going on, and then she is swept off her feet by a blundering idiot known as a male. But Moning's book is very different... her female character, Jessi, is very independent and strong. She is on her way to getting a PhD when her whole life changes because of Cian. I'm not going to tell you anything else about the plot of the book, because you can read it and figure it out for yourself.

I believe that most people who read this book will become entranced with Karen Moning's style of writing. And the sex scenes... wow! Hot!
