The Immortal Highlander by Karen Marie Moning

BLURB:

With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam’s only hope for survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.

Enter law student Gabrielle O’Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing. Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by force. Instead he will tease his way into Gabby’s bed and make her want him just as he wants her.

Now, no matter how hard Gabby tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her—perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his knowing smile…all the while tempting her with the promise of unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam’s quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen’s court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery realms…and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know: glorious, wondrous, endless love…

REVIEW:

I had mixed feelings on this one of Karen Marie Moning’s. I have loved Adam, a character throughout many of the books and the way this story twists… well, its great, innovative and perfect but… it also made me kind of sad. Like it really was the end of the end to the series with the way things go. Which is how life is I suppose. I still really like Adam. He’s everything you’d want in a hero and then some. The gal she has lined up for him… perfect match. And I’m glad she did his story. I do recommend it… it rounds out the series and still sticks with me.

(No, I can’t be specific here as it would give away the wonderful twists)

LOL Jill, you did leave a comment but on another of her book reviews I did, Kiss of the Highlander. With her having so many books all with the ‘word’ highlander in the titles and with me reviewing them all in the same week or so… its easy to get confused. I know several times I’d get the titles mixed up for which one I was yakking about. :wink:
Have a great week!
