Product Description:
A laird trapped between centuries...
Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he’d ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side....
A woman changed forever in his arms...
Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern — to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man she’d ever seen? Or that once he’d kissed her, he wouldn’t let her go?
Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a warrior with the power to change history will defy time itself for the woman he loves....

I absolutely love this book, and no matter how many times I re-read it, the magic and romance never go away.
The narrator does an amazing job with the voices, accents and flow of the story. This is a must read and a must "hear."

When Gwen Cassidy, literally, stumbles upon a sleeping Drustan MacKeltar, she has a hard time convincing him that five hundred years have past since he last closed his eyes. The last thing he remembers is being informed of his brother's death. With Gwen's help, he is certain he can return in time to prevent this event from occurring. Being a Druid, it is within his power to pass through the stones, however it is forbidden to do so for personal gain and to defy the edict is done at a great cost.
Ms Moning does a great job of pulling you into the story from page one. Gwen Cassidy makes no bones about her reason for being in Scotland and when she and Drustan meet, not only do you know what will happen between them, you can't wait to get there.
The plot is simple and straight forward, which adds to the pace of the story. Ms Moning does a wonderful job of letting the story unfold with enough surprises and twists that you are never bored with a predictable story line.
One thing that I loved were the secondary characters. They were vibrant and interesting. When Drustan threatens to fire Nell, I laughed out loud at her response. Nell and Silvan were strong enough to be endearing but never annoying.
The only eye rolling moment for me was when it seemed that all the MacKeltar births were twins. If this was explained, I missed it.
To be honest, I put off reading this book for quite a while. The reason being, I read the third book concerning the MacKeltar family very first and didn't see how all the pieces fit. From what I have recently learned, Ms Moning has several books in the Highlander Series and they are capable of standing alone. Since (to my knowledge) all but three deal with unrelated characters, this shouldn't be a problem. But, with the three books that deal with the MacKeltar family, I would have enjoyed them more if read in order.
Overall, I really enjoyed Kiss of the Highlander (and reread and enjoyed Spell of the Highlander.) Ms Moning is an author that goes on my buy list.

I've read the four books of the highlander's series and this one (book 4) is by far my favorite. Even though the plot seemed too close to "A Knight in Shining Armor" by Jude Deveraux (the hero was an English Lord who gets transported into the future rather than a Scottish Laird sleeping for 500 years), Ms Moning's ending beat that of Mrs Deveraux's by far and seemed more logical (if you accept the possibility of time travel). I loved the story very much, it had humor, spunk and sex appeal. I was somewhat disappointed that the author did not provide more details about Drustan's reaction to 21st centurie's every day things such as indoor plumbing, fridge, chocolate, lights, etc. Jude Deveraux covered that part beautifully in her book to include a trip to the dentist and had her hero go nuts over modern electricity. Moning's hero barely reacted to the 20th century food he ate or anything else he saw. I enjoyed his time in the 16th century a lot more. I also would think that a smart man like him would be curious to learn something about Scotland's future for example, but nothing, not a single question. Nevertheless, while Jude Deveraux's ending was rushed, Ms Moning gave it a lot of thought and did an excellent job with it. I think that my biggest complaint would be that Moning's heroine, a scientist nonetheless, would refer to potential lovers as "cherry pickers" (Yeeech!). That was truly gross and she kept using that term over and over. Overall, I truly loved this book and I enjoyed listening to it on audio. The narrator does an amazing job playing McKeltar (very sexy voice indeed). I can't wait to read Deagus's story now. I already bought as soon as I was finished with Durstan's. If you like this book, make sure you read Deveraux's "A Knight in Shining Armor" as well. I highly recommend it.

This is the very first Karen Moning book that features the MacKeltar twins. All I can say is...READ THIS BOOK! It is a great mixture of time travel, highlands, passion & humor. The characters are well developed and get you itching to read the rest of the MacKeltar books (#2 "Dark Highlander" (drustans twin), #3 "Immortal Highlander" (Adam Black - side character interacting w/ MacKeltars), #4 "Spell of the Highlander" (part of MacKeltar clan), #5 "Highlander's Touch" (seperate story linked w/ Adam Black), #6 "Into the Dreaming" - a novella that features the fairy queen mentioned in the other books. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the order to read them in. There is not real official order in which to read them. All I know is once you finish "Kiss of the Highlander", you will be itching to read the rest. ENJOY!!!

I have read and re-read all KMM books - and this audio version is amazing. I do not know what the narrator looks like - but when he goes into his Drustan MacKelter voice - "Kiss me, Lass" - well let's just say I should not be driving.
