WOW!

Awesome! From the first page to the last, I couldn't put one of these books down for a minute without thinking about the characters and wanting to get right back to the stories! (My husband was thrilled with how fast I cooked supper for him while in the middle of reading one of the Highlander books.) Karen Marie Moning knows how to do it right! 1. Beyond the Highland Mist2. To Tame a Highland Warrior3. The Highlander's Touch4. Kiss of the Highlander5. The Dark Highlander6. The Immortal Highlander (Not Yet Released, I am anxiously awaiting it's release.)This writer's work is a great escape from an everyday ordinary life. These books are worth the time and twice the money they are asking for them. Don't miss out, buy yours today!

First Book Written? WOW!

I bought this book for my mother-in-law who loves time-travels. On her recommendation I bought second copy for myself and began to read. I could not put this book down. I found myself emotional. Never have I been so engrossed in a book like this to the end. Hawk was the Adonis of 1513. Adrienne, an orphan who did not trust beautiful men. Brought together by fairies who want to see Hawk refused by a woman, Adam must make sure that Adrienne refuses Hawk at all costs. Not only does he want the Hawk to fail but he wants Adrienne. The details in this book will make you feel as if this were unfolding right before your eyes. I cannot believe this is her first book! I will definetly follow Monings writing career.

Great book - big fun!

This is the best first novel that I can remember in this genre. I'm expecting great things from this author!This was a great book that had me laughing out loud, sitting at the edge of my seat and sighing. I read at least two novels a week and it's the first book in a while that had me up half the night to see how it ends.I didn't notice any obvious historical inconsistencies. Let's face it, historical reality is fleas and infrequent bathing. I like to let the little things go.I liked the magical and mystical aspect. I liked the time travel concept in this book also. I don't think there would have been a more perfect companion for the Hawk in his time. I liked seeing the period through the perspective of a modern woman.I can't wait to read Karen Marie Moning's next novels.

WOW!

Aoibheal, Queen of the Fae, told her court about "the Hawk". She told of how he could win any woman's heart and soul. She even made some believe Hawk had stolen her favor, as well. The King of the Fae, as well as "the Fool" Adam, decided upon revenge. Adam traveled through time until 1997. It was there he found a perfect woman who hated beautiful men, for very good reason. Adrienne de Simone was whisked through time to the sixteenth century and forced to wed a man known as Hawk. She wanted nothing to do with such a good looking man. Beautiful men mean trouble and pain. Hawk could not believe she would have nothing to do with him. Worse yet, a smithy suddenly appeared in town, named Adam Black and was determined to woo her away from him! Adrienne, wanting nothing to do with either of them, was made into a pawn of which only Aoibheal, who ruled over all, could save. ***WOW! I loved this book. It is definately "a keeper"! Here is one that will never see the inside of a used book store. Powerful, romantic, and leaves you believing in Fairies.***
