Kiss of the Highlander (Highlander, #4)

by Karen Marie Moning

A laird trapped between centuries...

Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he’d ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side....

A woman changed forever in his arms...

Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern — to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man she’d ever seen? Or that once he’d kissed her, he wouldn’t let her go?

Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a warrior with the power to change history will defy time itself for the woman he loves....

Can’t stay away from Scotland for long

This was a lot of fun and the romance was pretty great and swoony, even if it did take them three days to fall in love.
A great introduction to Moning, and I will definitely read more novels by her.

My only complaint is that Gwen's backstory is super lazy and far fetched, and was given with such a "btw" air about it that it was almost disrespectful.

Awesome book, probably one of the best I've read of KMM's. I loved how you found out what caused our little heroine, to fall, and literally fall on top of the sexy highlander Drustan. Then wow the book sucks you in, right from the beginning. And you think wow, and then things happened, and you're like double wow!! This book had me laughing, and almost cryng at some points, and I defenitely wanted to give Gwen a few high five during this book.

OK ... so it started off the same, and really it ended the same as the rest, but it was very sweet. I may just have to take a break from the sappy romance and get into some kick-ass girls for a minute. :-)

This story was the best Highlander story yet! My heart was racing as I read, and it's still racing now that the book is finished. It was beautifully written, and Drustan and Gwen a wonderful couple. The only thing that's irking me with this series is that ALL of the women have to be virgins :O But it's a minor thing in the big picture.
