Publisher's summary

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 he'd 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 she'd ever seen? Or that once he'd kissed her, he wouldn't let her go?

Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to 16th-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.

Great Scot! Don't miss our other titles in the Highlander series.

Critic reviews

"Rife with unexpected plot twists, Druid lore and sparkling humor....There's much that's fun here, both in characters and situations....Moning's snappy prose, quick wit and charismatic characters will enchant." ( Publishers Weekly)

Couldn't put it down!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who would enjoy romance that has a happy ending and a generous helping of humor!

What other book might you compare Kiss of the Highlander to and why?

This book reminds me of A Knight in Shinning Armour by Jude Deveraux

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

All the books in this series. He is so good that I forget it is one person reading all the parts.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I found myself laughing out loud throughout the book. The sad parts made me hold my breath just waiting to find out what would happen next. the story is filled with a plethora of emotions.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to books 1 - 4 of the series and this is, by far my, favorite! It is a deliciously perfect blend of love, romance, humor, mystery and sensuality. Loved the story and the performance. There was something to like about all the characters, and I even felt really sorry for the "villain"! This story deserves a series all of its own!

This may be my favourite of the Highlander series!

I have read the series once through... then revisited them all as audibles over and over again! They are like old friends...

Excellent story

Ms Moning ' s Highlanders books have been most refreshing! I have the hard copies of her books, but have enjoyed listening to them as my eye sight has been going bad. I have finished all her books now, and they just keep getting better. Great Job!!!
Love the Narrator!!!! Whew what a voice.

Favorite in the series!

Love this book.!!! wonderful story, wonderful humor, hot, adore the characters. great series but this book I have listened too 5 times and I still love it!!

Love KMM!!!

ever book KMM has written has been fantastic. they keep you captivated and engaged, and make you want to reread or relisten to them over and over again!

Love this series

Read this series several times and completely loved the entire series so when I got on audible I couldn't wait to listen. After I bought the book I actually waited a couple years to listen because the first time I tried, Mr Gigante's female voice just didn't work for me. I finally tried again and got used to it enough to be able to thoroughly enjoy one of my favorite stories again. I just bought the next one in the series. So much fun.

wonderful twist in romantic time travel

I read many romantic time travel books. This one was actually a little different and had a great story line.

best book

i am obsessed with this whole series but this book has my heart! dont give it another thought and listen to it!!

Finally a Moning Highlander book I loved

What made the experience of listening to Kiss of the Highlander the most enjoyable?

Phil Gigante does a great male voice and his narration is very soothing. Only complaint is his female voices are a bit on the snotty side which can make it difficult to really enjoy the women in this series.

What did you like best about this story?

The female lead was not obnoxious nor did I want to strangle her, except perhaps when she referred to losing her virginity as having her 'cherry picked'. The love story had some rather nice twists. I felt a little like I was listening to 'A Knight in Shining Armor' with a much more romantic ending.

Which character – as performed by Phil Gigante – was your favorite?

Drustan.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

This is the first book in the Highlander Series by that I truly didn't want to stop listening too. Finally, her female lead was someone I could get behind and wanted to see with a happy ending. The last 3 books, I wanted all three ladies to take flying leaps of near by cliffs and have the leads (excluding Grimm) pick me.I highly recommend skipping the first 3 for this one. Go back and pick up the other 3 when you are looking for a distraction and some minor back ground.

Wonderful!

You can’t go wrong with Karen Marie Moning!!! Never fails to deliver! Great audio performance as well!
