Wonderful story of Dageus MacKelter Drustan's twin. I couldn't put it down. They just keep getting better and better. This is book 5 in the series.

LOVED THIS!!!!! It has my two favorite things - ancient scottish warrior and 21st century woman! There were a few holes in the story (what happened to the guy in the dungeon? and Gwen's twins?) but it was very well told, and HOT!

5th. in the Highlander series, it can be read alone. I really love this series. This time-travel set in New York and Scotland is very good.

Another excellent read from Karen Marie Moning. Dageus MacKeltar is the younger of the MacKeltar twins, "a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones" A fantastic story with a hunky highlander, what more could you want?

I love this book! it follows Dageus MacKelter, who we're introduced to in the previous book, kiss of the Highlander. The MacKelter boys are by far my favorite characters in her series, and she spends 3 books on them.

Dageus is struggling with 13 evil Druids living inside of him and must overcome them by finding and fighting the modern day Draghar sect seeking to free the 13 druids and take over the world.

I found this book to be too cheesy for my tastes. The "dark" magical plot is hokey, the heroine is a bland ditz, and the constant repetitious descriptions of the hero's hotness are tedious. Too many cliches even for a romance novel, and the use of faux olden-times words like "mayhaps" and "twas" are kind of embarrassing. It's the poor woman's Kresley Cole, and I didn't finish it.

This was a pretty good story even though I felt the ending was a bit rushed. There were some great laughs and I found it a good addition to the series. Although, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only one who's seeing a pattern in the author's obsession on over-sized wedding tackle? Good grief!
