RITA Award Winner, Best Paranormal Romance, 2001

A warrior of immortal powers....

He was a mighty Scottish warrior who lived in a world bound by ancient laws and timeless magic. But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty - and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also the woman he had foresworn to destroy.

A woman caught in the mists of time....

When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling...into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real...and too dangerously arousing.

Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her...plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own?

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

Critic reviews

"Phil Gigante's smooth and sexy Scots brogue is so well done that listeners may think Sean Connery himself is delivering this time-travel tale." ( AudioFile)

Loved, a wonderful twist on historical novels.

What made the experience of listening to The Highlander's Touch the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed so much,this story, it did take a bit of time, maybe one chapter or two, before I really caught on, ,and could not stop listening. This being my first in the series, not realizing there were others,
I am craving for this story to continue, but I am not sure how this author writes and creates her series. I am very sure that any novel this author creates I will devour.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Highlander's Touch?

With the two main characters realize they have the unspoken connection.

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

This is my first book with this narator,

Any additional comments?

I am really hoping one of these novels continues this story in particular.
Normally in the series is always best to start with the first, but when choosing this book I chose it on the reviews and it had great reviews, it surely met my expectations.
The hard part now is to know which book I should choose next the first in the series or the one just after this I am sure I will read all.

Riveting

This is one of my favorite books of the Highlander series because of all the Scottish history background. The historical aspects serve as the perfect backdrop for Circen’s complex character. He is by far my favorite Moning Highlander. He shares very similar characteristics with Adam, Drustan, Daegus, and even Cian, as he and Cian are from the same century, but what I love about him most is that he is a perfect combination of all these magnificent characters. With a touch of Adam’s Fae Magic, Drustan’s sense of duty and loyalty, Daegus’ sultry sensuality, and Cian’s brawn and savagery he is the perfect highlander, and of course let’s not forget to mention intelligence. I have been listening to these books in reverse order, and so far I have loved every one. I started with Immortal, then Dark, then Kiss, then Spell, and now Touch. Now I plan to listen to Tame a Highland Warrior. I can’t wait ! You can’t go wrong with any of these books, believe me !

The Highlander's Touch

If you could sum up The Highlander's Touch in three words, what would they be?

Time Travel Romance

What did you like best about this story?

Circenn and Lisa's reunion. It would make a great movie.

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

Circenn, loved the accent.

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

Both. It is a very emotional story, especially when Lisa got her family back.

Speechless!

Wow! I cant make up my mind which one is better in the series now. The highlanders touch is especial though because in here, he not only worried about her, but he also did for her family. His love for her was so deep! I just loved it! And its prob one of those books that I will listen to again eventually. Just like BDB :)

Live this Story

I’ve read this book several times. I love Karen Moning’s work. The audible book is a nice addition to my library. The biggest complaint I have is a man using a falsetto voice to sound like a woman. It was distracting enough that I cringed quite often throughout the story.

The Highlanders Touch, book 3

I am a reader and a Librarian--Personally I find all of Karen Marie Monings books an escape that I look forward to reading. I fly through each book only wishing it wouldn't end. Her books have a balance of plot, character development, adventure, action, and sex to keep you interested and wanting more. Excellent!

They just keep getting better

Karen Marie Moning's 'Highlander' series just keeps getting better with each subsequent book. The first 2 were somewhat mediocre, but this one really ramped it up. She's definitely hitting her stride with these later books and I found myself just as in love with Cin as Lisa. Phil Gigante also delivers once again with his narration, though I could admittedly do without his somewhat comical female voices. I can't wait to see what this series has in store next!
