Publisher's summary

With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is 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. For Gabrielle, cursed with the ability to see both worlds, Mortal and Faery, it is the beginning of a long, dangerous seduction. But as Adam's quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic, 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.

Critic reviews

"Moning excels at crafting sexy, brawny and brainy Scotsmen, and Adam Black in his Highland blacksmith glamour is one of the best. There's enough sexual tension here to fuel half a dozen normal romances." ( The Contra Costa Times)
"Nonstop action for fans of paranormal romance: another lusty fantasy from Moning." ( Kirkus)

the best book in the series

I have loved Adam Black's character from the beginning, finally he has his own story and it doesn't disappoint.

Can I marry Phil Gigante?

No seriously. The story was amazing...but he made it extraordinary. One of my most favorite novels ever.

Great escape. Great narrator. Great stories.

Keeps you rooting for a fairytale ending. throughout a faerie tale adventure. A great listen.

Amazing Read

KMM as always writes the passion and romance we all dream of. Loved it! Fantastic!

excellent performance

This book comes alive with the readers voice. The story is vivid and remains one of my favorite supernatural romances. 😍

The Immortal Highlander

The Immortal Highlander by Karen Marie Moning was an excellent book & audiobook. The narrator, Phil Gigante did a superb job. I read this in book form quite a few years ago and still have a hardback copy I break open at least 2x a year. This is one of my favorites. Sometimes, there is something "lost" when going from book to audiobook but that isnt the case here. Loved it!

Just when I thought it couldn’t get better

Adam Black, bad boy, jokester, all power Fey, has a story of his own. I liked the character previously but he was like the arch nemesis and I couldn’t see a story about him invoking any feelings of romance or faithfulness. Wow was I wrong. I was sucked in from the start and devoured this story; listening every moment I could find. This story is now my very favorite. I love it so much I think I’ll just start it over and listen again
- back into Adam Black’s world.

OMG!

What this narrator does to Adam Black's voice should come with a warning! I about went up in flames when Adam had his first conversation with Gabrielle! The storyline had lots of humor and the characters were likable enough. But it's the voice and the accent portrayed by Phil Gigante that really did it for me. He makes you want to gobble Adam up in hot, greedy bites. LOVED IT!

Excellent audiobook, again

I've really enjoyed this whole series. No, these aren't books that require much thought. The plots are fairly formulaic, and the characters stereotypical, but despite all that, they are still just plain rollicking good fun. The dialogue is witty and the action is engaging. The men are alpha males to put it kindly (male chauvinist pigs if you're not so kind), but they ooze sex appeal. The steamy scenes are brilliant, although I'm not so sure that is Ms Moning's doing or that of the wonderful narrator, Phil Gigante. I've listened to several audio books where the sex scenes that sound ridiculous to the point of laughter, but never that from Mr. Gigante. His scenes sound just as they should, serious and steamy. He's fairly criticized for not doing justice to the female voices, but I didn't find that distracting, and he more than makes up for it with his wonderful sexy male characters. This particular story has a good plot, bringing a "bad guy" from previous books and making him shine as the hero in this one. There's a nice twist to his lady love that is interesting and fresh. All in all, a nice addition to a great series.

Hot!

I listen to this to fall asleep at night. No, don't misunderstand. It isn't boring. It's sexy and soothing simultaneously. Phil Gigante could read the dictionary and I would listen. Has he done that yet? Is it on Audible? Oh, but the review-right. This book is my favorite in KMM's sexy Highlander series. Finally a book about Adam Black, the mischeivous meddler who thinks he's "all that". He is. In this story his immortal self is humbled, abandoned and made -worst of all- human! What's a fallen god to do? How about stalk and pester the female lead- the only being who seems to be aware of his existence? The characters meet and grow together out of attraction and circumstance; their interactions and dialogue are intense & sensual, erotic at times. I'd label this "romantica". Not for the timid listener... or if you're a little timid, wear your headphones. It works for me.
