BLURB:

(kind of long but… oh well)

POWERFUL. SENSUAL. SEDUCTIVE.
Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a
man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling
author Karen Moning stirs up a sizzling
brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings together a
devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time . . . and the woman
who’s about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets
haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every
move. It’s a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is
a mere thirteen hundred years. . . .

Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many
hours studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking archaeology
student a bad case of sex on the brain. So she figures she must be
dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man staring out at her
from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when a
split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life,
Jessi suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of
smoldering, insatiable alpha male.

Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors,
eleven centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass,
one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of unspeakable power.
When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient enemy will stop at nothing to
reclaim it, destroying everything in his path–including the one woman
who may just hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlander’s
dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is not
only tantalizingly real, he’s offering his protection–from exactly
what, Jessi doesn’t know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite
pleasure of sharing her bed.

Yet even as Cian’s insatiable hunger begins to
work its dark magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the
final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallows–and the ninth-century
Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing less than the very
fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives are at
stake–as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes
along but once in an ice age. . . .

REVIEW:

Yes, you are correct, I didn’t read the books from Karen Marie Moning in order… nothing new there for me!
This book is really neat and I totally loved both main characters. I
especially liked how the gal was able to take the hero down a notch but
not in a mean way. Too often I guess I see that from one side or the
other and I love it when they can out do one another without being
mean. As with Karen’s other stories I definitely shed some tears and
smiled like a goof at others. When it was finished was so happy they’d
‘won’. I hope there are more books to come in this series even though
Karen has for the moment started writing a different one.
