Book Description:
For eons Adam Black has aided humanity and meddled in its affairs, much to the chagrin of the queen of the Seelie Court. He has finally pushed her too far and finds himself, a once powerful Fae, invisible and very human. But he is still as resourceful as ever, and finds a way to reach the queen and plea to have his curse lifted with the help of a young lawyer, Gabrielle O'Callaghan, a human born with the ability to see his kind. As old enemies yearn to take advantage of his weakened state, threatening his life and all existence, Adam discovers that Gabrielle threatens a heart he never thought he had.

This was definitely my least favorite books in the series so far. Especially since they keep stressing how the Fae are aliens without a soul and it's their understanding of advance technology that allows them to do what they do.

Puck is one of my favorite fairy-tale characters of all time and I can't say that I care for the author's version of him. Adam Black may be hot, but that's until he opens his mouth. Some of the things he says while trying to seduce Gabby are just so corny that I wanted to gag and found myself rolling my eyes repeatedly. And, call me crazy, but I don't find getting gifts of items stolen from department stores and jewelers to be romantic.

After reading this book, I'm also wondering if the author will ever have a lead heroine that doesn't start out as a virgin while the guy was a raving man-slut before meeting her.

The author is also getting redundant in her anti-climatic closings of her books. (I've just read up to this book in the series within a couple of weeks, so I've been over-exposed to her plots.) They're the kind of endings where the hero is separated from the heroine and then she goes into mope-mode after his disappearance because she's so grief-stricken. And then they get back together and it's all hunky-dory.

Needless to say, I was disappointed in her ruination of one of my favorite Fae characters at the end of this one. It's like declawing a kitty.

I love this book! It's the first Moning Highlander book I read ( I had to go back and read the others), and it's my favorite. Adam is - whoo!! The story kept me engrossed, and the ending was so touching, I re-read just the ending many times.

I love this series. Time traveling was never so much fun! I was hooked when I read the teaser at the end of the last book that said "besides no woman can reisist a little fairy tail..." (No that is not a typo!) Adam Black at his finest. I believe this book should be read as part of the series to give the best impact.

One of the best in the series! This is Adam's story.

Romance, very descriptive sexual scenes. I didn't like the character as well as the other stories that are the same nature as this one. I believe you can read these books of order, but references of characters are made in other books and someone might get confused. Light reading.

Adam Black, once immortal and with powers of ancient gods in his blood, has been condemned to live as a mortal with nothing but his intelligence and good looks to live on. Gabrielle O'Callaghan is cursed with the ability to see both the mortal and immortal souls around her; naturally she can see ADAM BLACK. What she does with him...

The 5th in Moning's Highlander series. Those who have read Karen's before will recall Adam from previous books. The uppity faery gets taken down a peg or two and drags Gabby along for the ride. Another excellent story from Karen!!

I enjoy reading Moning's Highlander series. She weaves a great romance with action, adventure and a little faery magic - especially when the faery is a 6 and half foot man that oozes sex appeal. Adam Black has intrigued me from the first book - Beyond the Highland Mist - where he is a not so nice character that tries to keep the main couple apart. He has been thrown into the other books as a secondary character - and now he finally has his own book. You get to learn more about him and what makes him tick - and that he is not just a selfish fae. I loved to read his interactions with his heroine, Gabrielle. I enjoyed reading the book - I found it hard to put down - to do pesky things like going to sleep or work. I recommend the book and series.

Karen Marie Moning continues her Highlander series with the love story of Adam and Gabby. I LOVED this chapter in the series. Her stories are romantic and sexy. The hero is strong, but the heroine is stronger. There is intrigue and action as Adam and Gabby fight for the heart that Adam never thought he had. You can't go wrong if you pick up this book. Enjoy!

Karen Marie Moning is an excellent romance writer. Her Highlander Series of Romance novels are unique and interesting. All of her books are page-turners that you just can't put down - or get out of your mind until you've finished the last page, but 'The Immortal Highlander' is by far, at least for this reader, one of the best of the series. Adam Black is a Tuatha De Danaan - a highly advanced race of immortal beings that settled in Ireland thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Adam is a prince within this race, and one of the blackest amongst the Fae. He has a reputation for being sexy, seductive, and irrestistable, as well as dangerous and sadistic - eager to 'play' with humans for his own amusement. However, in this sixth installment of the Highlander Series, we see Adam Black for who he really is deep down inside, and find out why he's done the things he's done. This time he falls hard for a modern-day human, Gabrielle, and all hell breaks loose. Not only does he fall in love with Gabrielle, but she him - and the reader will as well. I've enjoyed all of Moning's novels, but this one was the first that made me cry at the end. Five stars! You'll love this book.

Boy can she about highlanders. I loved this book and couldn't put it down.

From back cover:
Beware-Lethally seductive alpha male of immense strength and dark eroticism. Do not look at him. Do not touch him. Do not be tempted . Do not be seduced...
