Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling author Karen Moning stirs up a sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time . . . and the woman who’s about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move. It’s a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is a mere thirteen hundred years. . . .

Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain. So she figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man staring out at her from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when a split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of smoldering, insatiable alpha male.

Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying everything in his path–including the one woman who may just hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlander’s dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is not only tantalizingly real, he’s offering his protection–from exactly what, Jessi doesn’t know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite pleasure of sharing her bed.

Yet even as Cian’s insatiable hunger begins to work its dark magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallows–and the ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing less than the very fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives are at stake–as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes along but once in an ice age. . . .

Summary: Excellent Series!
Comment: I read each and every book from this series in order and nonstop. OMG...What an amazing experience Granted there were some characters that I loved thoughout the series. One of the things that most impressed me is we really get to see the happily ever after throughout the series.

If you have the money and can afford to buy the whole set, that is the experience that you are shooting for from this author. Chapman is creative funny, and sincere with these characters and you feel the love between main players as well as the family they have around them. After all those books I was still left wanting more.

I passed my set to my sister. She calls me at the end of each one to discuss the new characters, the new dynamic they'll create in future novels in the series.

Truly a fun read. The best read since my first historical romance (Knight in Shining Armor).

Summary: Cian was not born under a lucky star.Thank God! =)
Comment: Cian MacKeltar is all man, not too mention an extremely powerful sorcerer Druid. He is also trapped in the Dark Unseelie Glass, by none other than his enemy Lucan, a dark sorcerer who tricked him thousands of years ago.
Cian gets his chance for revenge when Lucan is out of the country and a theif breaks into the apartment stealing all of the Hallows.
This is when Cian meets Jessi St.James. She, a college student and also an assistant to Professor Keene is sent to his office to claim a package. This package is the mirror Cian is housed in.

Jessi has no idea what to make of this artifact and thinks the sexy strong highlander man she glimpses in the mirrior is just a fragment of her overworked stressed mind. She brushes aside this thought and immerses herself into work, but she finds out sooner than later that her life is endangered. Lucan will stop at nothing to get the mirror back, he has to pay the tithe at Samahain, in order to preserve his immortality.

Cian and Jessi are a funny adventurous couple. For those of you who love the twins, Dageous and Drustan, they reappear in the story with their mates. It's a good wholesome adventure and a great addition to Moning's Highlander series. Trust me on this, It's my second time reading the series. They are that good!

Summary: So Disappointed In This Boring Tale
Comment: I loved other books by this author, especially the books about Grimm & Hawk, but this one, featuring Cian [KEY-on] & Jessi, was pretty boring. It had its moments but quite frankly, until Daegus got involved at the end there, in a surprisingly witty and compassionate role, this book was doomed. I guess using the mirror was a necessary plot idea to the overall theme of Moning's tales, but I wasn't thrilled about this approach.

Summary: Spellbinding
Comment: This book was fabulous. The sexual tension is outrageous. Karen Marie Moning makes you want to dive into the book and onto the male lead, Cian. This book was a great purchase. Buy it, it's worth the read. Spell of the Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 7)

Summary: And the story goes on....
Comment: This is the 7th novel Moning has written about highlanders and the 4th in a series about the McKeltar family. I love her women. They are all smart, inquisitive and funny. Her men are all built like Greek gods, but then this is a romance novel! I loved the whole series and read it in nothing flat. Can't wait for the next installment. I'm sure at some point her Highlander books will connect with her Fever series, which would prove very intersting.
