Spell of the Highlander (Highlander, #7)

by Karen Marie Moning

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. . . .

Not as enticing as the previous books but still enjoyable.

this was an excellent book. the story was full of life. Cian a druid from the 9th century is entranced in a dark fairy mirror by a dark sorcerer, for immorality. Jessica st James is an overworked grad student who is trying to work towards her goal of getting her PhD to become an archaeologist. she gets stuck in the battle of good and evil when she meets the druid in the mirror. there is lust, love, blood, sex, humor, and some tears in this book. very good read, I recommend this to everyone.

Not bad. They are getting better.

Jessi is such a mix of naive and smart it's amazing! And Cian he's the archetype of the Highlander! I loved this book as well, Lucan was also the archetype of the evil black sorcrerer, and I'm wondering what the seelie queen has up her sleeve for the next story to come. I really wish the next book excisted in kindle version!!
