Spell of the Highlander Spell of the Highlander

Publisher Description

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. . . .

I've must have read this book about four times, and each time I laugh at Cian. It's romantic, hot, funny, and all in all, a book that I will always keep in my shelf. Seriously. Read it. I can't even describe enough how wonderful of a read it is!!! :)

Mixed Read

I would have rated this book a flat 1 star but at about the middle of the book the story line started to pick up and the characters got more enjoyable. I really like this author but for me this book was a poor reflection of her work. The characters were flat and felt 1 dimensional. The romance between Jessica and Cian was unbelievable and comedic at times. The sex scene was actually one of the best things about this book but there was actually only one official sex scene. This book felt rushed and out of sync with human nature (specifically how people fall in love) and with the complexities of the female character. Jessica felt very shallow and an uncomfortable amount of times the author just kept referring to her large breast. Ok we get it now what else does Jessica have to offer to the story. Overall I rated two stars because the sex scene was great and because the parts of the book that took place in Scotland were bearable.
