1: WOW and AMAZING
From the moment I picked up and starting reading this book I was captivated. I felt an immediate connection to the characters and could not put this book down. The main charactor Daeges is so intimidating and sexy. A great romantic read right from the start!

2: For a scottish "artifact" like Dageus McKeltar ....
What I liked about this book was that is took place in the current century for the most part. And it was dark, very dark. Dageaus meets Chloe, or actually "ze french maid" and cannot stop himself keeping her in his lair in Manhattan. She of course is head over heels in love with "the older scottish the better" but due to his reputation as womanizer is not quite ready yet to be just another afternoon play.
I like the interaction between them how he wants to protect her but yet wants to devour her and is torn between those 2 raw feelings.
I wish Chloe could have been a bit more helpful for him since so much time was spend on explaining that she not only loves antiques and artifacts, but knows a lot about them too and speaks several languages. Instead she was more of a little flower babbling on, where she could have helped him translate and such... But the scene where she practices her declaration of love is just so cute and honest, that I can forgive KMM for that. Now I am curious about Adam Black.

3: Where's a Highlander when you need him?
This was the first of the Highlander Series that I read and was totally hooked from that point. Her character's are fun and sexy in an other worldly way. I don't know about anyone else but when I read I want entertainment and not seriousness. Not to say that doesn't have its place.
But, my life is serious enough that losing myself for a few hours in one of Karen's books has been great fun. To bad that we all can't have a dark highlander in our lives as well. But with the help of our imaginations and our dreams who's to say we might not be visited by Dageus or Drustan. One can always depend on dreams to transport us to places so wonderful that there are no words to describe.

4: Another great highlander series book!!
This is the second Karen Moning book that features the MacKeltars. All I can say is...READ THIS BOOK! It is a great mixture of magic,time travel, highlands, passion & humor. The characters are well developed and get you itching to read the rest of the MacKeltar books (#1 "Kiss of the Highlander" - (Drustans story),#2 "Dark Highlander" (drustans twin), #3 "Immortal Highlander" (Adam Black - side character interacting w/ MacKeltars), #4 "Spell of the Highlander" (part of MacKeltar clan), #5 "Highlander's Touch" (seperate story linked w/ Adam Black), #6 "Into the Dreaming" - a novella that features the fairy queen mentioned in the other books. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the order to read them in. There is not real official order in which to read them. All I know is once you finish this book, you will be itching to read the rest. ENJOY!!!

5: Me Too =)
I read one book and on the same day went and purchased all of them. I just love the twins, and Adam...hello. Karen is for sure a contender in the book world. I read so much, I get bored so easily with some of the authors, most of the time the charactors come across as bad actors to me. But not these. I love, love, love this series. I guarantee you Scotland has NEVER look so good =)
