Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling author Karen Moning stirs up a sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time . . . and the woman whoâ??s about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move. Itâ??s a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is a mere thirteen hundred years. . . .

Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain. So she figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man staring out at her from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when a split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of smoldering, insatiable alpha male.

Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying everything in his pathâ??including the one woman who may just hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlanderâ??s dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is not only tantalizingly real, heâ??s offering his protectionâ??from exactly what, Jessi doesnâ??t know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite pleasure of sharing her bed.

Yet even as Cianâ??s insatiable hunger begins to work its dark magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallowsâ??and the ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing less than the very fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives are at stakeâ??as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes along

Giant Scottish dude trapped behind a magic mirror. Sexy but doesn't know it graduate student who encounters him and he saves her. I liked it, but the Highlander books by Moning are much of a same. ( )

I found a couple of errors. Mostly minor but one was a doozy!

Fantastic suspense and action.
Melt worthy romantic and adult intimate sex scenes.

Best in the series!

this was an excellent book. the story was full of life. Cian a druid from the 9th century is entranced in a dark fairy mirror by a dark sorcerer, for immorality. Jessica st James is an overworked grad student who is trying to work towards her goal of getting her PhD to become an archaeologist. she gets stuck in the battle of good and evil when she meets the druid in the mirror. there is lust, love, blood, sex, humor, and some tears in this book. very good read, I recommend this to everyone.

3.5 out of 5 stars. Not as good of storyline as I had hoped. However, the characters were cute and I couldn't get enough of them. I love the world that Ms. Moning has come up with for this series and her Fever series, especially how they both intertwine together! In this book you'll learn more background information that you didn't know about if you've only read the Fever series, so I could recommend reading this book just for that alone! I can't wait to see what will be in store next!

Aoibheal, queen of the Fae stood in the catacombs beneath The Belthew Building, concealed by countless layers of illusion, a formless projection of herself, beyond any Sidhe-seer‘s vision, beyond even her own race‘s perception.
