I was born in the wrong century and it wasn’t possible, so I chose to explore the universe by writing fiction instead. Books are doors to endless adventure.” -KMMKaren Marie Moning is the #1 NYT bestselling author of the F...

2025: I will never tire of this (audio)book, this series. Each book sends me to my happy place.2021: I loved loved loved this - again! Everything is still perfect: the writing, the characters, the plot. And the audiobook is sooo gooood! Original review 2020:Tongue-in-cheek historical romance I absolutely loved, helped by a third-person narrator; think Outlander but light and easy-going. Definitely the best in the series so far! I’m so glad I listened to everyone recommending this series, even if...

I'm riding the Highlander wave, and these books are my new addiction! I absolutely LOVED Kiss of the Highlander! The cover - Seriously, could it *be* any hotter?! Love the picture, and I'd sure like to meet that model just to see how good a Highlander kiss *really* is :)))) The story - I loved the whole concept; it was so well-written, mixing time travel with druids and magic... Just wow! It's about Gwen, an American girl on vacation in Scotland. She's looking for *the one*, and so...

Yes, in case you're wondering, I'm even more ashamed than when I gave its predecessor, The Highlander's Touch, three stars. It seems that I'm deteriorating into some obscure form of madness in which time-traveling, historical romance can illicit a four-star rating out of me. They should name a damn charitable foundation after me to help other people suffering from this obscure mental illness. But it's honestly not my fault. The fault lies with Karen Marie Moning. There it is, folks. The face...

Whelp I am in the minority. I enjoyed the first part of this book but the last 2/3's were not for me. I also just can't stand the term "make love" or "Love making" and found this book incredibly frustrating and too much instalove.

There were moments I enjoyed, I want to read the next book but overall to cheesy for me. Maybe because of the year it was published? Moving on.

Once upon a time 'a girl who was hiking in the foothills of Scotland found an enchanted highlader sleeping in a cave above Loch Ness'. A bit clumsy as she was, she lost her balance and landed on top of him waking him up. The sleeping beauty, Drustan, had been slept for 500 years and he was a bit lost when he woke up in 21st century, but Gwen helped him found his way.This was a great love story!I had a goofy smile while I was reading it from the beginning until the end. The story is basically div...

5 Gigantic Stars!!! FANTASTICAL!! It was worth all the anxiety I felt for reading out of order. A few pages in and all that OCD flew out the window!! “If aught must be lost, ‘twill be my honor for yours. If one must be forsaken, ‘twill be my soul for yours. Should death come anon, ‘twill be my life for yours. I am Given.”This book had everything and then some that I look for in a story. A larger than life hero, who is cocky, funny, protective, loving, worships his woman and is SCRUMPTIOUS! Drust...

Drustan and Gwen's story - I enjoyed this book, it was my first KMM book ever! This is one of KMM's funniest books. I love how Gwen was looking for a cherry picker to rid her of her virginity then when she saw Drustan she thought he looked more like a cherry tree chopper downer than a cherry picker. The storyline was very good, I love the part toward the end when Drustan remembers then they have a very passionate encounter in the buttery. Gwen was a great heroine, she was intelligent, honorable ...
