Rating: Summary: A Scottish Fling! Review: The first book by this author relating to time travel in the 1500's and Scotland. Having read some of her more recent work I did find this one lacking in its story line. This is an excellent first work and I think if I had read it first, I would have loved it! Nicely paced, romantic, and a real plus if you love the concept of time travel. All the highland books by this author are related, so read this one first and you will follow the flow in the rest much easier.
Rating: Summary: E for effort, Review: This is the second book I have read by Karen Marie Moning. I like to give writers at least a second chance at nabbing me up as a fan. I do love romance novels! But, this writer just didn't cut it for me. I truly wanted to like this writer as I have heard such wonderful things about her novels. But, the things I have heard did not turn out to be true. Beyond the Highland Mist was just sadly lacking. Lacking in spark, lacking in excitment, and lacking in story line. I will stick with the more sizzling writer like Holt, Graham, and Leone when it comes to romance. I'm bored with the supposed tried and true writers like Roberts, Howard, and this one.
Rating: Summary: Yummy Review: This is a HOT and SIZZLING exploration of a time-travel romance. It's impossible to put down.
Rating: Summary: Hubba.... Review: Time travel and a sexy man. Who can beat it. Also the sexy elfen creature Adam thrown in there. Not her best but a good Moning. I highly recommend Kiss of the Highlander and The Dark Highlander.
Rating: Summary: A nice introduction to Ms. Moning Review: Beyond the Highland Mist is not the best from Ms. Moning but rest assured the entertainment never loses its grip. Adrienne de Simone is the New Orleans modern girl who gets transported to Scotland by Adam Black, the servant of the Faerie King and Queen, to taunt Laird Hawk Douglas whose sexual stamina and masculine beauty proves irresistible to the women of Scotland. Emotionally betrayed, the beauty resists Hawk's advances despite being tempted and touched by his growing passion and love. There is humor and sharp wit but not enough to rival the more substantial content found in her later works like The Dark Highlander. It is a good place for introduction though to Moning's immensely enjoyable yarns, spun with charm and heartwarming characters.
Rating: Summary: Beyond the Highland Mist Review: I recommend Karen Monning Books. They are great
Rating: Summary: disappointing.... Review: I actually bought this book based on the recommendations on Amazon and I was really disappointed when I finally got to read it. This is Ms. Moning's book and I think she should have spent more time editing it. Although her plot was certainly intruiging, I found her story to be choppy and incoherent at times. Like for example, Adrienne's life in the future was spotty at best, and I wish Ms. Moning spent more time developing Adrienne's background. This book is also not nearly as humorous as her other books. The author certainly tries to be amusing in her dialogue, but it just seems forced rather than clever and lighthearted like in her other books. But don't let this book turn you off from the wonder of Karen Marie Moning's writing. Her other 4 books are absolutely superb, all in the top 20 of my favorite books ever. I especially loved Kiss of the Highlander and its sequel the Drak Higlander is a close second. I highly recommend buying her other books; they're really worth your money.

Rating: Summary: I want a Highlander! Review: Karen Marie Moning is a marvelous writer! She brings the details to life that it grabs your collar and pulls you into the story and plot. She is a talented and gifted artist with a wonderous talent. Karen, I want a Highlander, any chance of getting one that looks like the characters in your books? This novel is filled with humor, suspense, romance and very steamy! I've read all of the novels, and have been enchanted with all of them. I can't wait for the next one!
