Well the shop got both The Dark Higlander and The Immortal Highlander in for me so I have them here will start reading again soon, have had a little break ..
any way I`ll let you know how the next 2 Moning books go... there is another now too "Spell of the Highlander" ..I don`t think I`ll go back and read 1,2,3, unless I get desperate for a read as I have a heap to keep me going now here and on order so I`ll see how theses 2 of hers pan out if I like them I`ll just get the last one no good going back haven`t seemed to have missed anything by starting at No. 4 so I think they are written to read alone..

The Dark Highlander...

Journey to a world of ancient magic, breathtaking sensuality, thrilling time-travel... Journey to the world of The Dark Highlander. Crisscrossing the continents and the centuries, here is a novel as gripping as it is sensual—an electrifying adventure that will leave you breathless...

I am Dageus MacKeltar, a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones, driven to sate my darkest desires...From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A sixteenth century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable Alpha male an irresistible lure.

Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back in time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man...
