The Highlander's Touch (Highlander, #3)

by Karen Marie Moning

He would defy the boundaries of time for one night in her arms . . .

He was a mighty Scottish warrior who lived in a world bound by ancient laws and timeless magic. But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty—and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also the woman he had foresworn to destroy.

When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling . . . into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real . . . and too dangerously arousing. Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her . . . plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own. . . .

I love how this book went, with Circenn making a oath to Adam. And with Lisa letting her curiosity get the best of her. In this book you've combined two worlds into one. Lisa was sent back to fourteenth century Scotland, by ways of touching a cursed flask. Circenn Brodie a mighty fine immortal warrior had made an oath to kill whomever came with the flask. but at the mere sight of Lisa he knew he couldn't. Instead he started breaking his oaths ans lying, which ended up making him handfasted to Lisa. With a quite hilarious interlude and hot steamy chemistry these two people from two different worlds were meant to be together. And Circeen was going to make sure that their love lasts forever. Great read totally recommend this to anyone who loves feisty wine, sexy men in tartans, and the world of the fae.

Another splendid highland story! This had so much history involved, and I fell in love with Lisa and Circenn from the first line. A beautiful story, and a wonderful storyteller!
