***NOTE MY REVIEWS OFTEN CONTAIN SPOILERS***
When Lisa Stone lets her curiosity get the better of her and touches a new artifact in the museum where she works as a maid she finds herself transported back in time, 700 years in the past. Circenn Brodie cursed the flask stolen from him so that the next person to touch it would be transported to him with the flask. He’s given a vow to Adam Black that he’ll kill the man who brings the flask, but he never expected that man to be an innocent woman ripped from her time. He can’t bring himself to kill her and the only person who can send her back is the very man who’s ordered her death. Lisa has responsibilities at home, she’s the sole provider for her dying mother, the only family her mother has. She can’t afford to be stuck in the past no matter how enticing the man who brought her there is. When Robert the Bruce orders their marriage due to a misunderstanding to cover her identity neither of them know how to react. Will Lisa ever get home? Will Circenn be able to live with himself if he breaks his vow, or even if he doesn’t?
Like I mentioned in my last review, this is one of the few Moning books I’d never read before. The book was an enjoyable story, but I might not have rated it as high if I hadn’t related so much to one of the characters. Though this returns to the focus of the series, again becoming a building block toward Moning’s Fever series it had its own share of issues. Moning wrote the book with a purpose to teach readers both about cervical cancer and some historical events around the time period during which she set the majority of the story. If the author’s note at the end didn’t make it abundantly clear, the large passages of history and medical lessons should have. In some ways it's clear she did her research before writing the book because many passages are pretty close to info dumping. In other ways she’s not so historically accurate as other readers have pointed out in reference to the language used by the characters in the book. What's odd really is that even the brogue seems to go in and out with her Scottish characters, at some points they speak like everyone else and other they’re using words like ken and donna. While both words are completely acceptable and expected speech for her setting, consistency in using them would have been appreciated. Highlanders don’t revert back and forth between the brogue and almost American like speech patterns. Had the brogue seemed consistent I might have ignored the language because I’ll be honest before I was glancing through reviews on Goodreads while I took a break from reading it and noticed it pointed out in rant like review, I didn’t even really think about the fact that these characters used words that shouldn’t have been known to them. I was for the most part enjoying the story and when you’re enjoying the story you don’t notice as many of the details like that. If the Knight Templar and Scottish battles didn’t interest me then I might have paid more attention or been more bothered by the info dumping. Once that was pointed out to me I started to notice other language inconsistencies and felt it was worth mentioning.
Like the first novel in the series this romance series helps to lay the bricks for the Fever series. Not only do we again encounter Adam and the Fairy Queen but the concept of the hallows is presented. Though memory may serve me wrong I could have sworn there were others in the Fever series than the ones listed here. The Sword and the Spear are introduced in this novel as is the flask of immortality, the cauldron, and the stone. I could have sworn the book and the mirror were in that group but I may be remembering wrong. Whether or not those are part of the hallows or not they aren’t mentioned in the book. Sidhe-seers are mentioned, though not yet by name and the concepts of the Fairy Realm on earth, but yet not is also introduced. Romance fan or not, the world of the Fever series doesn’t just blink into existence with Dark Fever, it’s built slowly over the course of the Highlander series before taking shape in that stunning series. There weren’t as many sex scenes in this novel as in the previous one, however many of those scenes were long and the concept of the bond between Lisa and Circenn seems all too similar to Christine Feehan’s Dark series. To my knowledge this is the only book which has this concept, of course this is the only book about a half fae half mortal hero so that’s probably why it’s the only one with joined consciousness. One of the things I didn’t like is they started to spin off into subplots of Duncan and Gavin, two of the secondary characters with talk of Gavin wanting a wife and Duncan being shot down, but the subplot is never played out, only mentioned. I don’t understand why they bothered to mention it without going back to it. Additionally while I like a happy ending, it ties up a little bit too neatly for me. I mean their lives can’t just go from sucking to perfect by the end. In a way the ending sort of ruined a lot of the drama of the story for me. The book however was a well written close third person with a reasonably fast pace. It includes both a love story and a secondary historical plot concerning the Scottish wars for independence. The novel is also filled with humor especially in the form of items from the future. Adam has apparently been planning this little situation for a while and in order to tempt Circenn he’s brought multiple gifts from the future. In one of the scenes Adam discovers how Circenn has utilized the tampons Adam had brought for Lisa’s use before Circenn ever meets Lisa. Circenn, not knowing what the objects are believes they’re cleaning products that fit nicely into the barrels of the guns Adam has brought him. Much of the humor is outright silly but it definitely adds to the enjoyment of the book.
What really made this book a four star novel for me was the characters. Lisa is one of my favorite characters, while I think many people will have a hard time relating to her, because very few people will ever be put through the kind of things she’d had to experience, I think she’s one of the most believable characters I’ve ever read/met. Her internal war is something I can personally easily relate to and her reactions are in my opinion realistic. When her father died, taking care of her mother became her responsibility and because of her mother’s handicap even the finances were now on her shoulders. She hasn’t even had the chance to be an adult yet before the man she’d always depended on was gone and she was just expected to take over in his stead and take care of things. She didn’t go to college even though she’d always dreamed of doing it because someone needed to work and pay the bills. Someone needed to ensure they’d always had a roof over their heads and someone needed to take care of her mother. And while she’s doing so, the close relationship they’d always had slips away, because in some ways her mother stopped being a person and started being a responsibility. It was Lisa’s duty to make sure her mother ate and she was obligated to try to make her smile. It doesn’t mean you love her any less, why would you do it if you didn’t love her? But at the same time doing something because you have to, because you’re the only one who can isn’t the same as doing it just because. And the longer that you are the one who’s desperately needed setting your own needs, wants and dreams on a shelf to meet the demands of someone else’s the more distance begins to separate you. And yes she resents that when she turned 18 her father died and she had to give up all her dreams, everything to take care of her mother. Who wouldn’t? You go through high school hearing about all the promise you have and thinking the world is going to be your playground and you’re on the verge of conquering it. Then once high school is over tragedy sets in and the world goes from being your playground to resting on your shoulders and those dreams that got you through the grueling school days, that said there was a purpose to this madness which was high school are ripped out from under you. You can’t stop to think about it because if you think about it you have to think about everything you’ve lost and all those abandoned dreams. You’d have to think about no longer having your Dad to talk to or to lean on. You’d have to think about the fact that he left whether he meant to or not he’s gone and you never even had the chance to live first. And there’s this part of you that blames him because if he’d planned better if he’d though to take care of things further it wouldn’t all be on your shoulders now. And you wonder how he couldn’t realize that it would be hard enough to lose him, how could he really expect you to pick up all the pieces he left behind and there’s a part of you that blames him, that wants to hate him for leaving you. But you don’t want to think about because it makes you feel like a horrible ungrateful daughter. It makes you feel like the scum of the earth for being resentful of the people who gave you your childhood. So you focus on working until you’re so tired you can’t see straight and many people make bad decisions to try and hide from the pain only to learn that those decisions didn’t make the responsibility go away or make your life any easier. You focus on the bills and the finances and all the little things that need to be done, that no one else but you can possibly do and you NEVER take the time to grieve because if you do you’ll know you’ll fall apart. Everyone needs you and you can’t afford to fall apart. There’s no one there to be your shoulder to lean on and you wouldn’t accept it even if they offered because accepting that would mean you’d have to think about it. And you don’t want to think about it because thinking about it reminds you of the constant war you wage inside of you - the part that resents losing all your dreams against the guilt of ever blaming the people who raised you for your lot in life. Logically you know that your Dad never asked to die and your mom never planned on switching roles with you. Your mom never planned on your giving up everything you’d dreamed of because you had to take care of her and she can’t help that she needs you. Logically you know it isn’t anyone’s fault and you should cherish every minute you have left with your mother. But that doesn’t make it any less unfair and it doesn’t make you feel any less empty. It doesn’t make it any better when people look at your like you’re worthless because you never had the chance to even try to reach your dreams. They don’t know what you’ve gone through and they’ll never really understand but if you told them the best you could expect is their pity and you don’t want their pity. So you resent the situation and hate yourself for the resentment you feel toward the people you love the most. And you work yourself to the bone because you don’t want to think about it and if you were to find yourself in Lisa’s situation with endless time you’d do everything you could to get back. The happiness you feel makes you guilty because you’re not supposed to be happy when they’re gone or they’re suffering. And the endless time gives you too much time to think and too much time to feel. Lisa is naïve in many ways but she’s so realistic, so easy to relate to and understand that I feel she’s probably one of the best characters ever written. Not many people will ever experience what Lisa has and I can’t help but wonder if that lack of really understanding will make some readers find her an unrealistic character. Normal people don’t have lives like Lisa’s, but I think that those who do will find in Lisa the one fictional character that really feels like them. The one fictional character who really understands their internal war and the mess left of their lives after a tragedy has struck their family. And yes she’s got her share of angst and internal debates, but who wouldn’t if they lived her life? However once she’s in the past a while and starts to accept and move on she become a little harder to relate to because it seems to me as though she gives up a little too easily and falls neatly into the happy life in the past. Overall though she was a memorable character who’s very easy to relate to. Circenn is also well developed but not as much as Lisa. Circenn’s issues stem mostly from his past, from Adam making him immortal, but not his mother. The problem with this is Moning never fully explains the circumstances of why and you don’t find out until almost the end why Adam even bothers so much with Circenn. In fact you don’t really completely understand a lot of the background regarding Circenn until many books later when Adam gets his own story. Many of the secondary characters are also well developed but as I mentioned in my last review not as much as they were in her debut novel. Adam of course grows as a character fleshing out more during this story, but other characters just don’t have the same fleshy feel as the secondary characters in Moning’s first novel. I can’t help but wonder if in her desire to share all the information she’d learned with the reader she lost track of some of the character development and secondary plots. While gaining knowledge in a fictional novel is already a bonus, it’s secondary to plot, subplot and character development.
Overall while I don’t think it was one of Moning’s best titles I’d definitely recommend this book to fans of fantasy, paranormal and time travel romance. It was an enjoyable read that despite its issues was worth reading.
When Lisa Stone lets her curiosity get the better of her and touches a new artifact in the museum where she works as a maid she finds herself transported back in time, 700 years in the past. Circenn Brodie cursed the flask stolen from him so that the next person to touch it would be transported to him with the flask.

He can’t bring himself to kill her and the only person who can send her back is the very man who’s ordered her death. Lisa has responsibilities at home, she’s the sole provider for her dying mother, the only family her mother has. She can’t afford to be stuck in the past no matter how enticing the man who brought her there is. When Robert the Bruce orders their marriage due to a misunderstanding to cover her identity neither of them know how to react. Will Lisa ever get home? Will Circenn be able to live with himself if he breaks his vow, or even if he doesn’t?

Love love LOVEEEEEEEEEE this book. Actually I've been loving this whole series. There isn't much to say other than: hot highlander, modern woman, intense spark, time travel, that devious (and in this book, surprising!) Adam Black, steaminess that fogged up my glasses and a beautiful story. What's not to love?!
And now, on to the next!

This is my favorite book so far in the Highlander series. The ending felt rushed to me and I'm not sure how historically accurate Moning's writing was, but The Highlander's Touch was a really enjoyable page-turned for me.

The Highlander's Touch
3.5 Stars
Synopsis
Circenn Brodie is an immortal highland warrior charged with protecting sacred relics belonging to the fae. When a flask goes missing, Circenn ensures its return by attaching a curse to it and vows to kill the person whose touch activates the spell. That person is Lisa Stone, a 21st century beauty who finds herself transported back in time to war-torn Scotland and a man who is determined to kill her but finds himself irresistibly drawn to her instead...
Review
A light, sizzling romance but a little on the sappy side.
Circenn is absolutely gorgeous and just oozes sexuality, and Lisa is just the right mix of feisty and feminine even if her insatiable need to touch and know everything epitomizes the phrase "curiosity killed the cat". They have a compelling emotional bond and their witty banter contributes to the build up of sexual tension.
Unfortunately, the Hallows and Templar plot, while promising, is underdeveloped and unsatisfying. Moreover, the language is not era-appropriate and there are gigantic plot holes that undermine the flow of the story. I could also have done without the cringe worthy bawdy humor in the form of Duncan's shenanigans and the chamber pot jokes as well as the unconvincing twist involving Adam Black's true motives and the saccharine sweet conclusion- is this truly the best resolution Moning could come up with.
The rich historical background on the Templars and Robert the Bruce is well researched and interesting but there are one or two glaring inaccuracies, i.e. Castle Brodie was not in existence in the 12th century.
All in all, the romance is good and the time travel plot well-done but it is nothing earth-shattering. Perhaps the next one will do better.

Such an improvement from the first 2 books in this series! I absolutely loved it! It was a little be slow at first... But when it got going, it really got going! The characters had so much more depth and the plot much more enticing. I really ploughed through the last 10 chapters, because I just couldn't put it down.
The lead character was likeable and relatable, and circeen and Adam black so very intriguing. Loved loved loved it. KMM sure knows how to make a woman drool! <3
Awesome!

Big strong sexy Immortal Highlander meets time-travelling slightly annoying 21st Century woman.
As with most romance stories, I have issues with the heroines. They're slightly whiny and in an effort to seem very independent and strong they instead come across to me as high maintenance.
I did have a bit of a problem with just how nicely everything tied up.
I like this series. It's entertaining and a fun light-hearted read.

She gets to have her entire family back and then choose to spend six months here and six months there and everything is just sunshine and rainbow? That sort of felt just too tidy for me.I like this series. It's entertaining and a fun light-hearted read.

It was ok. I really enjoyed the Fever books and thought I'd like this one more.
