RITA Award Winner, Best Paranormal Romance, 2001

A warrior of immortal powers....

He was a mighty Scottish warrior who lived in a world bound by ancient laws and timeless magic. But no immortal powers could prepare the laird of Castle Brodie for the lovely accursed lass who stood before him. A terrible trick of fate had sent her 700 years back in time and into his private chamber to tempt him with her beauty - and seduce him with a desire he could never fulfill. For this woman he burned to possess was also the woman he had foresworn to destroy.

A woman caught in the mists of time....

When Lisa felt the earth move under her feet, the fiercely independent 21st-century woman never dreamed she was falling...into another century. But the powerful, naked warrior who stood glaring down at her was only too real...and too dangerously arousing.

Irresistibly handsome he might be, but Lisa had no intention of remaining in this savage land torn by treachery and war. How could she know that her seductive captor had other plans for her...plans that would save her from a tragic fate? Or that this man who had long ago forsaken love would defy time itself to claim her for his own?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Phil Gigante's smooth and sexy Scots brogue is so well done that listeners may think Sean Connery himself is delivering this time-travel tale." ( AudioFile)

Yum!

This book epitomizes everything a good romance novel should be. LOVED IT!

Karen Moning Rocks

Really this is great romantic fantasy! If you like that kind of stuff you will enjoy this series. It is way more romantic than the fever series and less dark and traumatic.

Sexy Highlander Paranormal Romance.

I have read all of Karen Marie Moning's books and I love them all, especially the Highlander series. As they have come on sale I have picked them up and now I own them all on audiobook. I am relistening to them again periodically . My favorites are The Highlander's Kiss and Spell of a Highlander but I like them all really well. The narrator is super sexy especially his highland accent, but admittedly not the greatest female voices.

To Dream, to wonder, to laugh, to cry!

What did you like about this audiobook?

This is the best book that I have heard in a long time. It really takes you into it and makes me want it to really be true. Awsome, story.

Loved, a wonderful twist on historical novels.

What made the experience of listening to The Highlander's Touch the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed so much,this story, it did take a bit of time, maybe one chapter or two, before I really caught on, ,and could not stop listening. This being my first in the series, not realizing there were others,
I am craving for this story to continue, but I am not sure how this author writes and creates her series. I am very sure that any novel this author creates I will devour.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Highlander's Touch?

With the two main characters realize they have the unspoken connection.

Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first book with this narator,

Any additional comments?

I am really hoping one of these novels continues this story in particular.
Normally in the series is always best to start with the first, but when choosing this book I chose it on the reviews and it had great reviews, it surely met my expectations.
The hard part now is to know which book I should choose next the first in the series or the one just after this I am sure I will read all.

Great book!

Loved the character development and the narrator is perfect! Couldn’t stop listening. Walked around my house doing chores with my headphones.

EXCELLENT!!!

Buy it. Read it. Listen to it. Fall head-over-heels in love with it. Rewind. Repeat. 'Nuff said!!! Lol

A Highlander’s Touch? Yes, please!

Well…. This is a hard one to review. The story starts out dark and foreboding, with a touch of brevity. If one has followed the series, there is one character whom we previously met… from Book 1. Aye, the Dark Elf himself, so there is a Fae magic somewhere in the story. Although the main story focuses on Cin and Lisa; the Douglas brothers are secondary characters who do not stay flat. In fact, there are certain areas in the story that lead me to believe that the next book in the series would be about one or both. Yet, none of the stories pick up on their tale. It is confounding, especially when the next in the series focuses on characters not yet introduced? I do not understand. Had it or any of the remaining novels been about the Douglas brothers, I would have purchased it or spent the credit. There was an entire chapter, about 2/3 of the way through, that gave Duncan pause about his fun-loving licentious dalliances. Yet, it went no where… not in the story and not in the series. Perhaps one is coming? Or could newly be considered?

Phil Gigante’s Scottish Brogue and general narration is enjoyable, even sexy. However, the voice for Lisa really is disconcerting. It grated. I did not find this in the 3 other books I listened to in this series, not to point it bothered me so.

All in all I enjoyed the listened. The tone changed a great deal from dark at the beginning, even the middle, to big shift near the end. It seemed to end quickly as well. That might have been the golden opportunity to use this story as a great segue to the Douglas brothers’ tale. Just my humble opinion. All in all, I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Scottish history, time travel, and paranormal romance.

Great story!

Interesting twists. What a fantasy with a great ending. Loved it and listened to it more than once.

Oh Adam

I fell in love with Adam Black in the first book in this series and then continue to do so in this book. Sin was just that, such and amazing man and then there is Lisa. Sometimes I wanted to strangle her, but others I just wanted to hold her.

This series has always spoke to me.
