Summary: How Did You Get In My Head?
Review: This is absolutely the best romance I have read in a long time! I could not put it down! Ms. Moning reached into my head and pulled this guy out! Geez! What a man! I had to stifle giggles and moans when my husband was in the room while I was reading! I see two story lines started in this book that Ms. Moning has to finish. Come on, what happens to their son? I can't type any more, I've got to go start reading the book again!

Summary: Mel Gibson move over theres a new Braveheart!
Review: Swept into a past that Lisa Stone knew little about, was her punishment for putting her hands on a rare artifact sealed tightly within a wooden chest for centuries. Whisked to the past she finds herself face to face with a very powerful and very naked warrior named Circenn or Cin as his friends call him. Unable to kill her as he was ordered to do, since she was the bearer of a the flask, which held untold secrets, he finds himself questioning all his beliefs and falling in love with a very stubborn and stunning woman. Can he lay aside his pride and his oath to be with the woman of his heart, or must he do as duty tells him and kill the one woman he has ever loved?I found this to be a wonderful story full of plot surprises and terrific dialogue. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to pick up another of Karen's books. I would highly recommend this story to anyone who just loves romance or who loves time-travel stories. I was trully blown away.

Summary: Ms. Moning has the magic touch
Review: In 1308 Scotland, immortal Circenn Brodie guards several sacred icons including a flask containing the elixir of life. He places a curse on the flask that if anyone touches the flask they will automatically come to Circenn. Elf Adam Black insures that Circenn understands that the bearer of the flask must die even if he or she is an innocent person. In 2001, Lisa Stone feels her world cannot get any worse. While cleaning at a museum at night, Lisa touches a several centuries old flask. Something strange happens to Lisa and when she next opens her eyes, she is in the fourteenth century, under Circenn's suspicion. As they become acquainted with one another, they fall in love, but she feels a need to return home to care for her dying mother, leaving a permanent relationship in jeopardy. THE HIGHLANDER'S TOUCH is an entertaining combination of elves interfering with a time travel romance between a modern woman and a medieval immortal Highlander. Between Adam, other mythical interference, and the health of Lisa's mom, Karen Marie Moning freshens up the typical time travel romance. Lisa is a brave soul with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Circenn is more melancholy, especially about immortality and deceased loved ones, which leads to his struggle with a new love. This tale is worth reading by sub-genre fans, but also note that the author is also donating some of the receipts towards cervical cancer, an important element in the tale. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Ms. Moning's best work, yet!
Review: Five years ago a fatal car crash killed her father and crippled her mother, Catherine, forcing Lisa Stone to work two jobs in order to pay cumulative medical bills and support herself and her mother. Adding to their burden, Lisa and her mother have recently been told that Catherine suffers from cervical cancer. Lisa's primary concern is caring for her mother, both emotionally and financially, but she is fast becoming disillusioned and exhausted. Her evening job, cleaning at a local museum, is Lisa's escape from the trials of the real world. While in her boss's office, fatigue overtakes Lisa and she falls asleep only to awaken when he and a colleague arrive early in the morning. Fearing termination, Lisa scrambles to hide under his desk and overhears the two talking about a rare, medieval artifact the museum has recently acquired. After they leave, curiosity gets the better of her and Lisa investigates the intricately designed box left on top of the desk. Upon opening it and touching the strange flask inside, the world shifts beneath Lisa's feet and she feels herself falling...landing at the feet of a giant man stepping from his bath. Circenn Brodie, laird of Castle Brodie, quickly realizes that the woman, Lisa Stone, who inexplicably materializes at his feet from thin air, is not of his time. Circenn surmises that a long ago curse he cast on a fairy flask has sent this woman to him -- and to her destruction. Circenn is a man of honor, but how can he keep his long ago oath to destroy the bearer of the flask when Lisa appears to be innocent of its power? The longer Circenn delays fulfilling his oath, the more of a temptation Lisa becomes. Emotions and sexual tension abound between Lisa and Circenn. Both are tormented by circumstances beyond their control. Lisa can only think of returning to her time and her dying mother; Circenn is torn between his attraction to Lisa and the fact that he is honor bound to destroy her. Lisa is spellbound by the mysterious, Scottish warrior and the living history around her, eventually resigning herself to the fact that she may never be able to go home. Ms. Moning pens a brilliant tapestry of fourteenth century Scotland, bringing to vivid life the tumult of the times, without being overwhelming. Ms. Moning is at the height of her craft bringing all of the elements in this story together smoothly and poetically, while creating very real people faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Karen Marie Moning is a treasure in the Paranormal/Time Travel Romance genre. She entices and delights readers with her third book, THE HIGHLANDER'S TOUCH, introducing new characters, while bringing back the mischievous "black elf", Adam Black, from BEYOND THE HIGHLAND MIST, Ms. Moning's first novel. I highly recommend THE HIGHLANDER'S TOUCH as Ms. Moning's best work to date, and a story that readers won't soon forget.

Summary: Strange
Review: I have to admit this is one of the weirdest romances I have ever read. Not that I mind the time travel thing, truly I can be open-minded. It was just too strange, what with the themes of immortality and being able to change anything about anybody, the weird fairy things, etc. I felt it needed some more boundaries on reality! I just didn't click with the characters. BUT - the sex was AWESOME!

Summary: This was my First KMM Book
Review: I know that we as readers get a little caught up in what we are reading and can be down right judgemental ( read my Immortal Highlander review) I for one enjoyed this story and this is where I first encounter Adam Black. I have not turned back since I began reading KMM. I liked this story and enjoy the read that it gave me. Lisa was not the whimp that the other female had been. I lked her.

Summary: Not to bad
Review: This was my first read by this writer ...
I really did enjoy it, it was pretty easy to follow even if I have never read any other Highlander series book. The plot is absolutly delightful.
Lisa is truly down on her luck, and its so hard for her to let go, but this amazing scottish man, get her trust and love
The love this man gives is truly amazing, even if Adam black had a hand in it, he did a nice job matching it up.
I also found myself laughing quite a few times
*** SPOILER ALERT ***
I mean that tampon part just got me going for a good 10 mins! I could not stop laughing
The only complaint is I did not like the ending, did Lisa have her baby, was it 1/4 fairy or what? Where did they decide to live? So many details that they talked about in the book was not told. and the fact about her dad ... am sorry but after several years of not seeing my father from him passing away and coming back and he is alive, I would of been running to see him!
All in all its a good book to read :)

Summary: Ending Too Abrupt
Review: I really loved this book except for the ending which was too contrived and too abrupt. It told you everything except what you really wanted to know. Did Lisa have a baby? If so why isn't it mentioned? Moning should have had an epilogue. Instead she left us wondering if we read the story correctly or just imagined that Lisa was pregnant. And give me break - changing the past to make everything right doesn't happen even in fiction. What did Lisa's parents think of old Scotland - did they attend the wedding? Were they suprised that their daughter had gone back in time to find her mate? If Lisa doesn't remember what happened while she was away, then who was waking up in her bed during that time? I realize that trying to make logical sense out of fiction is useless, but there should be some boundaries. This book had none. Having said that if you are reading this series do not miss this book, otherwise you will lose an important part of Adam Black. And please do not begin by reading this book. This series should be read in order for full enjoyment.

Summary: Strange
Review: I was getting bored with the romance genre until I ordered this book. I was riveted from page one. I'm not going to go into plot because so many reviewers did a splendid job of that. All I can say is that Ms. Moning created a delicious brew of time travel and fantasy, faeries and wonderous Scottish lure. In between all of that were two phenomenal leading characters with sparks and sexual tension that left me sighing...and turning page after page until the wee hours. I can almost believe in faeries!
