Enter a world of timeless seduction, of ancient intrigue and modern-day passion. Enter the dazzling world of Karen Marie Moning, whose acclaimed Highlander novels have captivated readers, spanning the continents and the centuries, bringing ancient Scotland vividly to life. In a new novel brimming with time-travel adventure and sensual heat, the nationally bestselling author of The Dark Highlander delivers a love story that will hold you in thrall?and a hero you will most certainly never forget.

BEWARE: lethally seductive alpha male of immense strength and dark eroticism, do not look at him. Do not touch him. Do not be tempted. Do not be seduced.

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.

Sin Siriche Du, The Darkest Faery

This is my second time reading "The Immortal Highlander". I absolutely love this book. Adam Black is one of my favorite men in the Highlander series.

Adam Black, is a lethally seductive alpha male. His favored glamor is of a Highland blacksmith with long black hair, a powerful sexy body, golden skin, and mystical eyes.He is being punished by Aoibheal, the faery queen for directly meddling in human affairs and arguing with her. Adam Black is sentenced to being human and to be cloaked by the feth fiada(makes you invisible). No one can see or hear him. This is a cruel punishment for Adam Black, the fool of the faery court.

He finds out that only one human can see him, Gabrielle O'Callaghan,a sidhe-seer. Gabrielle fearing that the Hunters are going to capture her, refuses to help Adam Black be restored to his normal powerful Tuatha De.
She goes about her everyday life as a struggling law intern trying to ignore the erotic faery. It comes to no avail. Gabrielle starts to fall the irrestable Adam.

While this is all going on Darroc, a long time enemy of Adam's is planning the downfall of the queen. Adam and Gabrielle desperately seek the help of Drustan and Dageus MacKelter, the two anciet Druid Highlanders who hold the wall of Faery and Mortal realms together to get a message to Aoibheal.

The Immortal Highlander is a wonderful adventure with a fantastic ending. You will not want to miss out on this installment to Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series.

Great book

Really like this book. I thought she did great job with the whole series and can't wait to see if there will be more.

This author is seriously worrying me...

Three novels deep in her works and I'm *still* hooked.

When I first encountered a Karen Marie Moning romance (Kiss of the Highlander) and subsequently found myself rating it with 5 stars, I thought it was all nothing but a fluke--probably just my luck that I first happened upon her ONE novel that was any good.

Then there came Beyond the Highland Mist (yes, I am aware that my order of reading is ridiculous), and I was thinking, "okay, this may turn out to be just a so-so story, since series hardly can maintain more than 2 to probably 3 books that are really great...right?" But, no, I *had* to rate it 5 stars as well--don't take my word for it...just, you know, read it.

Understandably then (on my part, at least), I was well prepared--indeed, highly anticipating--that The Immortal Highlander would be the one to prove the cliché, "third time's the charm," with the added reasoning in my perverted delusions that this one has, of all men, the sinister Adam Black as the hero(I readily thought he was too cruel and essentially villainous in "Beyond..." to merit his own story).

Either it's a consequence of my *un*-orderly order and incomplete reading of the series that I totally missed out on something regarding Adam, or, heaven forbid, Moning is THAT good of a writer that, just like the heroine, Gabrielle, I later found myself reevaluating my outlook about this dark Fae, but this novel, rather than affirming my cynical expectations of a dud, just made hanker for the rest of her installments.

As a matter of fact, this third one that I read is the best so far. It had a sassy heroine and a hero who takes the meaning of the word "seduction" to new heights; both of them are outrageously witty, if not outright funny; there was a respectable dose of conflict to get the story going without hampering the chemistry between the pair; and the ending was simply superb that I, against my better judgment, felt the beginnings of being choked up with tears. Truly.

And, that, in the end, is making me one part excited and one part agitated: excited that, unlike most of today's paranormal romance authors who fail to keep their series interesting after only a couple of books, Karen Marie Moning seems to defy the norm and just keeps getting better; on the other hand, agitated that a misstep from such a highly promising writer would topple her from such a steep pedestal down into the unforgivable capriciousness of romance readers.

But, for now, thanks to "Immortal..." I'm definitely shutting up and looking forward instead to the next novel of hers that I can grab...

LOVED This Book

I read a few of the earlier books in this series, and found them a bit slow at times. But not this book. It is wonderful! I really cared about the characters. Moning really makes Adam "human" and likable. The ending is romantic and inspirational. When I finished this book, I felt really good about the world and the human experience. I felt grateful to be alive despite the humankind's problems.

Good, but not her best....

To keep this short and simple, I just want to say that I wish this book would have focused on the "real" Adam Black. He was absolutely nothing like the Adam Black that we'd seen bits and pieces of in the previous books. What happened to the pompous, under-handed bastard that I loved so much?

The story was pretty good overall, but I just didn't feel the true Adam come through in this book.
