The Immortal Highlander - Karen Marie Moning
First let me state, emphatically, that Karen Marie Moning is one of my favorite authors of fantasy writing. The very first book I read was from the Highlander Series. I was captivated by her writing style ever since. Of course it does not hurt that the men in the book are extraordinarily handsome, brave, honorable, gallant and chivalrous Scottish Highlanders.
This particular book has two main characters. Adam, a fallen Prince of the Fae and Gabby, a lawyer who is a sidhe-seer (can see the Fae).
To summarize, Adam is being punished by the Queen of Fae for saving a Scottish Highlander Druid of the Kelter Clan. He is made human but invisible. Gabby, a sidhe-seer can see Adam. Adam, relentlessly pursues her because he needs her help in communicating with the Kelter Clan Druids so that they can help him communicate with the Queen of the Fae. Adam and Gabby are sexually attracted to each other and Adam is shocked by his human feelings for Gabby.
I have read many books based on fantasy and am not a big fan of them. I, however, am always captivated by Karen Moning's writing. Of course, it does help when she is so descriptive of her alpha male characters. Her descriptions of these men have me "wanting" and fantasizing on how I can brisk myself away to Scotland, run to the hills and capture my own Scottish Highlander.
I have a few favorite parts in her book. One, took me by suprise because in any other reading I would have found it perverse but in her writing, in my opinion, it was erotic. It goes like this:
'He wasn't certain that was a thing a woman could appreciate. Ah, but a man did. The soft, sweet sultry scent of a woman caught on a silky bit of fabric that slipped so intimately between her legs, rubbing against her, carrying that unique fragrance a woman only had there. A man couldn't breathe of such a scent behind a woman's ear or in the soft hollow of her throat or in the small of her back.
Only if he was her lover did a man get to know that scent."
So, given that, BREATHE!
Run out and Go get the book.
Do not hesitate to read any of Karen Moning's writings.
Enjoy,
Susan
