Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
He would sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . .
An alluring laird...
He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart—until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length—but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.
A prisoner in time...
She had a perfect 'no' on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . . .

It's interesting how one author can depict King James IV as a ruthless cad, and another can portray him as honorable to a fault. In this book, Ms. Moning shows the king to be spoiled and vindictive, almost evil. In a book by Patricia Potter called Beloved Stranger, which is fabulous, by the way, James IV is a great man who loves his wife and is loved and respected by all of the Scots.
Adrienne started out with a fairly good sense of humor, but lost it quickly. And we've all read stories where the hero & heroine kiss and the reader thinks that FINALLY it will lead to more, then the scene abruptly ends - well, it happens here a lot.
Hawk was the perfect hero, very loyal to his family and his people, perfect in looks and personality, and was extremely intelligent, and so it was unfortunate that he suffered so much for so long. He really didn't have a happy adult life and it didn't exactly improve with the arrival of Adrienne. She treated Hawk abominably. It was hard to like her.
The overall story was interesting, though. I adored Grimm, but Adam Black was thoroughly unlikable here.

This is an awesome story, Karen is a fantastic author and does a wonderful job with this story. She makes the story come to life. I absolutely love all of her books. Each book could stand alone, but they are all a lovely foundation for each other as well.

I really loved this book overall. I did love the poetic prose she uses! What I didn't love was that Adreinne said Adam's name one too many times and hurt him deeply. I hated that he kept getting so greivously hurt! She's such a great writer I could just 'feel' the Hawk's pain, and wanted it to end, so the book went on a little too long for me. One reviewer had it right-on, when you saw how Hawk really is, you wanted him for yourself!

This book was ok, but I tired of the constant tension between the main characters. I would very first start with "Kiss of the Highlander": This is the very first Karen Moning book that features the MacKeltars. All I can say is...READ THIS BOOK! It is a great mixture of magic, highlands, passion & humor. The characters are well developed and get you itching to read the rest of the MacKeltar books (#1 "Kiss of the Highlander" - (Drustans story),#2 "Dark Highlander" (drustans twin), #3 "Immortal Highlander" (Adam Black - side character interacting w/ MacKeltars), #4 "Spell of the Highlander" (part of MacKeltar clan), #5 "Highlander's Touch" (seperate story linked w/ Adam Black), #6 "Into the Dreaming" - a novella that features the fairy queen mentioned in the other books. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the order to read them in. There is not real official order in which to read them. All I know is once you finish this book, you will be itching to read the rest. Then, come back to this one when you are still itching for more Karen Moning! :)
