Rating:  Summary: Kiss of the Highlander Review: One of the best romances I have ever read! Just when you think it can't get any better it does. I was happy then tearful then hopeful and finally....utterly under the spell of the web that was...THE KISS OF THE HIGHLANDER. It could not have been written any better or have ended any other way. I was completely satisfied!
Rating:  Summary: wonderful! Review: This one is a keeper! The best of Moning's books. I enjoyed this book very much, and finished it in 2 hours. My husband kept turning his head with a question mark on his face when I laughed my head off. Finally his curiousity got to him and he read the book. :) He liked it!(unbelivable for my husband since he is not a romance novel fan at all) well, all in all, a must buy!
Rating:  Summary: Her Best Yet Review: Definetly the best one yet for Karen Marie Moning! It's a well written fantasy that will have you wishing for your own Highlander to kiss! Looking forward to her next one.
Rating:  Summary: The Smart Woman's Romance Review: I've always hated romance novels. By default they all seemed to be about a sappy woman pining for some man, falling hopelessly in love, and getting together in the end. But Kiss of the Highlander blew me off my feet. Here was an extremely intelligent woman who was not prepared to climb into bed with just anybody yet was thrown into a situation that was right out of Jules Verne. Not only is Gwen feisty, but she's persistent. She knows what she wants and, even if she doesn't quite know how to get it at first, she doesn't give up until she has won. And Drustan McKeltar isn't just your average hunk to overfill a pair of jeans. While he's a bit wild and willful, his vulnerability is delicious and his intelligence is a match for Gwen's any day. Watching Gwen and Drustan match wits, wills and charms is like watching the progressive chess match she plays with his father. This is a thinking woman's romance the whole way through. I keep re-reading it. I'll wear the book out before I tire of it. Thank you Karen Moning.
Rating:  Summary: really good Review: i love all of ms moning's books i wish she writes even more, this was a good book with a smart heroine and ohh so funny, i enjoyed reading the book especially the part that gwen was trying to get back her laird it was so funny, the heroine had her faults but all in all i'd say this books is worth your time and money.
Rating:  Summary: Splended Review: Interesting from the beginning to end can't wait till the next book comes out. A must read. I read a lot of romance novels and this is at the top of my list.
Rating:  Summary: 7 Stars Plus Review: This was a fantastic book and the first I have read of this author. I have since ordered her other books. I work at night at a small store that is not always busy so I get a chance to read. I found myself so engrossed in this book that the time went by so fast and I almost missed closing the store on time. This book took you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and to me had a surprise ending. Wasn't too happy with the tease for the next book but only because the author will not be able to write fast enough for me. Please don't miss this wonderful treasure. This author has gained another avid fan.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful!! Review: I read this book in one day, because I couldn't put it down. I identified with Gwen, the modern day scientist and her wanting to find her true love. This book is wonderfully, professionally written with ideas that make sense and make you feel like you are traveling through time. Bravo!!
Rating:  Summary: Immensely enjoyable Review: This is the kind of book I like to reread. Gwen Cassidy goes on a bus tour through Scotland to change her life, and more precisely, to loose her virginity. Sadly, the other tourists are all senior citizens, and so her goal seems almost impossible to reach, until she falls down a crevice near Loch Ness. There she drops on a gorgeous Scot, Drustan MacKeltar, who claims to be from the 16th century, brought to the present via undisclosed mysterious forces. By helping Drustan Gwen is swept back into his past, where he doesn't remember her. There is an annoying, thankfully not very long, part in the middle of the book, where Drustan doesn't listen to Gwen's story, that she is from the future, and wants to warn him of a great evil to befall him and his family, until she gets him locked up in a garderobe (a toilet, for all of you, who are not into medieval architectural slang). That was stretching believability, as far as characters were concerned, a bit far, because Drustan is supposedly a druid, and thus should be more open to strange happenings. And, not to be nitpicking, but why has Gwen to turn out to be a genius, spurned by her over-ambitious scientist-parents? I would have settled for a lass with just normal intelligence! But that abolutely shouldn't distract readers from this book. All other books by Ms. Moning managed to get off to an interesting start, and then annoy me to no end, because the heroine (sometimes the hero) behaved so stupidly and inpolite. Ms. Moning also usually likes to introduce someone, who can use magic without bounds, which is just plain boring to me. Thankfully this doesn't happen in this book! Kiss of the Highlander definitely makes me want to give her another chance (and there is supposedly a sequel coming in the fall of 2002). It is a highly enjoyable read, charming and suspenseful enough that it kept my attention most pleasurably. The main and secondary characters are interesting and very likable. The sexual tension is sizzling, the dialogue is funny and the whole book is immensely enjoyable. So I very much look forward to the next installment which promises more about Drustan's brother, who might or might not have turned evil.
