Kiss of the Highlander | Karen Marie Moning
15 posts | 50 read | 13 to read
A laird trapped between centuries...Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman hed ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side....A woman changed forever in his arms...Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man shed ever seen? Or that once hed kissed her, he wouldnt let her go? Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a warrior with the power to change history will defy time itself for the woman he loves....From the Paperback edition.

Reading for romance book club, and, as expected, not aging super well (and I did read closer to original pub when I was a teen). Anticipating a good discussion.

Bk 4/8: time travel! Sleeping beauty...erm, beast? A woman out to live a little & a 16th century laird she falls upon. Lots of inner thoughts about sexual cherry picking-hilarious IMO. Druid magick, Romny magic, misinterpreted visions, & miscommunications. A funny bit in a garderobe. No character connection to bks 1-3; time travel & Druid/Túath Dé magick is the connection here. A hitch in the get along turns bad but wait, could there be more?

WOW this may be the fastest I have ever bailed on anything. Unchallenged racism, fatphobia, AND a weird obsession with losing your virginity to give your life meaning??? No Thank You!

I'll still try a podcast, though.

khooliha Update: the podcast was charming! 4y

I have decided to try not 1 but 3 different romance podcasts and have decided to read along with all of them, which means trying books I probably never would have otherwise. Case in point!

Seekingtardis I really enjoyed this series!! 4y
khooliha @Seekingtardis Do you have a favorite in it? 4y

I tried to finish this but there were just fat to many references to the character's "cherry" to the point that it pulled me out of the story and seemed to be all she thought about.

I angsted, I swooned, I laughed so hard I cried, and I cried so hard I sobbed. Yep, this is definitely a historical fiction romance I got swept up in. But really, when can I go to Scotland?

(Rereading series)
This is by far my favorite in the series. I love Drustan and he is just so swoon worthy.

My favorite thing about this is the story delves into Druids and the history of them. Drustan's family is the last of the Druids in Scotland. He meets Gwen in the 21st century and is attracted not only physically but to her brains. As the story goes on he loves how smart she is and I just love that.

Great time travel historical romance.

Claireluana I'm a sucker for a Scottish romance! 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker @Claireluana me too! Especially ones with time travel. 7y

#sizzlinsummerbooks #timetravel Kiss of the Highlander is my favorite romance novel of all time. Whether it's modern women being plucked from their lives by tricky fae and being sent hundreds of years in the past or 17th century Scottish lairds being cursed to sleep for hundreds of years to wake up in the present. This series is so much fun and sets up so much of the lore that was used in the Fever series. #DrustanMacKeltarforever 😍❤️

nitalibrarian Kiss of the Highlander is my favorite from that series too! 7y

I've been seriously ignoring this book and spending all my time with SanSan fan fiction! Need to get back into it! (Oh, and I read another book halfway through so that didn't help my progression either!)

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Love this ring! May is my favourite birthstone, even though I am December lol And KMM is the BEST! Though, Dageus will always be my Literary Lover over Drustan. Cian is a close second. 8y
SpacyStacy Thank you! And Dageus was definitely hotter than Drustan. I was a little pissed at Drustan when he tossed Gwen into the bushes. Now you have me excited to get to Cian's book! 8y

Finally got to a MacKeltar book. The whole reason I started the Highlander series was because them. First one shows up in book 4.
