Summary: I want this hero and I want him now
Review: OK. I surrender. I am now one of those people who read romances and swoon helplessly and endlessly over the hero. This book has happily ruined me. The book itself is witty, enchanting, clever, poignant, very sexy, very sensual, magical and it evoked an urgent need for me to move to Scotland. Gabaldon's books are the best when it comes to romance, history, Scotland and time-travel (another reviewer mentioned her), but this author's books are simply a fun, light joy to read and her characters are just divine. But her hero in this book is more than divine, he is perfect.

Summary: A unique story
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I like both the hero and the heroine. I love the fact that they don't spend most of the book making believe they don't like each other. They fall in love and then relish it. The only reason why I did not give this book 5 stars is because I wasn't thrilled with the ending, but I won't say it was terrible I just would have liked a little more detail, I was thristing for more. Besides that it was enjoyable.

Summary: Whaaat?
Review: I am astounded that the average rating for this book is so high. The storyline is rushed, and the writing is poor at best. Most grade-school children could write with the degree of complexity that Moning has achieved with this work. If you are looking for quality romance (Diana Gabaldon, Judith McNaught, etc.) I advise you to avoid this one.

Summary: Another great story

Summary: The Highlander's touch
Review: Lisa and Circenn..a great combination..it also involves faeries, some might not like this book, but Karen Marie Moning is a good writer and I am awaiting for her new book to come out..

Summary: Good, but not her best
Review: The Highlander's Touch is a good read, but I would recomend Ms. Moning's first book, Beyond the Highland Mist more. With that said, the characters of Lisa and Circenn are well drawn out and believable. However, some of the story elements were pretty unbelievable. Now, I like the idea of time travel and can get lost in that concept, but, there were many other added magic touches that were too much, such as; mind melding, changing the future to suit Lisa, and going back in forth in time like you would go on vacation. The ending seemed rushed and too "happily ever after". I think this author has a bright future with this type of genre and should continue to write them, perhaps with a little more reality thrown in.

Summary: Not worth the time it took to travel to the bookstore
Review: When I started the book and Lisa was thrown back in time by touching the flask, I was intrigued. Once she gets back and the whole "fairy" theory gets going, all I can think is "unbelievable". Really. The hero is hundreds of years old because he's immortal and in order to keep his heroine with him, he has to go into the future and change her past so that she can accept staying in the past with him!? Too hard to believe. Not a good read, in my book.

Summary: Good, but She's written Better
Review: This was the first book I've read by Karen Marie Moning, and I was pleasantly surprised. We read it for book club, and she was an author no one had even heard of, but after reading Highlanders Touch, I went out and read her other two books. Although I liked Highlanders Touch, I really liked Beyond The Highland Mist. I found Lisa to be a pathetic women. Her situation was difficult, but it seemed she allowed it to make her bitter. My favorite character, who I wasn't at first sure of was Adam Black. The super-natural addition was something I don't typically enjoy in books, but did in this one. I would recommend reading this, but I would probably read her other two books first.

Summary: A "Touch" of Karen Marie Moning
Review: Ms Moning once again hands us a tale of love that transcends time. Our fiesty heroine--Lisa, finds herself with the weight of the world on her shoulders, when suddenly she's thrown back in time to land literally at the naked feet of the powerful, immortal Circenn Brodie. The differences between the modern woman and the medieval man cause moments of tension and misunderstanding...as well as several scorching scenes between the two. With Circenn, being immortal, and swearing not to go through the pain of losing love again, Lisa finds her way into his heart. The "gift" Circenn gives to Lisa is immeasurable-- his love; but, at what cost to all? You MUST read this book to find out!From page one, we are swept into the characters lives, and become part of them until the very end. With stong emotions and extrordinary wit and humor, Karen Moning brings her characters to vivid life upon the page. One of Karen Monings finest works to date...I anxiously await her next book!!

Summary: Another Captivating Tale from Karen Marie Moning!
Review: This sexy Scottish story will be sure to grab your heart and thrill it with every page. Caught between devotion to her ailing mother and her newfound love for a Highlander warrior, Lisa comprises an intriguing heroine. Also wrestling with the battle between duty and love, Circenn Brodie must face his long buried desire to give his heart to a woman. More than an ordinary romance, The Highlander's Touch will make you laugh (a whole lot), bite your nails, cry (in a good way), and crave more Karen Moning stories. With her intelligent wit and flair for picturesque settings and subtle details, Ms. Moning delivers her best book yet.
