What do You think about The Immortal Highlander (2005)?
First read January 2013Reread February 2015I guess I loved this one more for the homey feeling I've gotten. So much like Fever, so close to the world I love so much. And here comes Adam to seal the deal. Adam and his ka-lyrra.I loved Adam since his first appearance in Beyond the Highland Mist. Not that he was a sweet, good guy or anything. I just knew from Fever that he was going to become a good fella. And he did! And then some.I rarely cry when I read. But the ending of this one drew a few teardrops from my left eye. That was a little too much for my fickle heart. A lot in this ending I didn't see coming and I just have to add that I hate KMM for ruining the other books with her Fever and Highlander series.But what really is gnawing at me right now is, What on earth will happen to Mac's soul now that she drank the darn elixir as well? But I'll take solace in thinking that Cruce had improved it and there are no more side effects. But knowing Cruce... Oh, my God, why did he give Mac indeed?!

Oh god, so I'm still a little embarrassed about my love of these books since they were my first taste of a romance series. But if I'm being honest with myself, if KMM writes 50 of these, I'll happily devour them and get all giddy at the predictable, soulmate/eternal-love-finally-found conclusion. I keep telling myself it's because these are tie-ins to the fever series, but I think I'm just one of those suckers for a HEA and I can live with that. I am however, a little over all the sexifying and how cut and paste it has been throughout the series. All the twenty something virgins having their "maidenhead" taken by a massively endowed (not to mention strong/rich/drippingly sexy) highlander. And I would be happy if I never read the words "puckered crest" again, they cropped up in all 7 of these books!The thing is, I just love the way KMM writes and sets up her stories. I find it well thought out and from Kiss of the Highlanderon, the beginnings of her rich Fae world are forming and the plots all flow together nicely.I have a challenge for anyone reading this though...is there a man alive that can pull off long hair? I mentally gave each guy immediate hair cuts, lest I had to bleach my eyes actually imagining these bloody highlanders with hair to their waist! Eeewwww!

The Immortal Highlander was another 5+ instalment from the Highlander series :) Karen Marie Moning just keeps getting better and better with every book :)I've read the first one and didn't like it much, but in a way I'm glad because Adam Black first appeared in that one :) Although, I have to say, he was pretty bad in the beginning, I would never have thought he'd get his own book, he was like the bad guy :O But boy am I glad he did <3In the previous book Adam sacrifices a part of his life force to save Dageus's life, and for that he is punished by his queen. She sent him to the human world, turned him into a human, and on top of that, he became invisible to everyone. Poor guy. Gabrielle is a decendant of people who are able to see the Faery, and she lives in constant fear of being discovered. One day she stumbles upon Adam, and she's unable to resist his good looks (it's actually seriously fan-fucking-tastic, mesmerising, panties-melting, gorgeus, seductive, perfect looks) and he begins stalking her as she is the only one that can see him. Adam and Gabby were really great! He is pretty used to his awsomeness, he actually expects ever woman to fall at his feet because he knows he is irresistible. That, of course, doesn't happen with Gabrielle (oh yeah you go girl!). The first time they meet she runs away, than she kicks him in the head XD That was funny hahah, and Adam can't believe she's not falling for him. So he, of course again, decides to seduce her XD They had their happy moments, but i'm kinda upset the first sex took so long to happen :PPP But oh well XD Drustan and Dageus appeared in this one, oh how I loved that part <3 <3 And one of the best scenes is when they see Adam hahahahahah that was great :)The ending - wow the ending was just perfect! One of the best epilogues ever, I cried like a baby It was just beautiful, what Adam did and how it all turned out Considering they all get more perfect, more sexual and more seductive with each book, I'm afraid to continue reading lol, this will give me a complex XDXD
