Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:He would defy the boundaries of time for one night in her arms . . .
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 beautyâ??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.
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. .

I loved this book and I liked the twist with Adam at the end. But I felt like the conclusion was rushed. I like the way the time-travel aspect was resolved. I haven't seen another book using that idea, but it almost felt like I missed something. Still worthy of 5 stars. ( )

It was ok. I really enjoyed the Fever books and thought I'd like this one more. ( )

3.5 Stars

I loved the beginning. About 30% in everything slowed down to a crawl. Very little action of any kind. Mostly internal thoughts which became repetitive.
Around 70% things picked up again.
The steam is a very, very Slow Burn and while it was Nice, I was a bit disappointed. I expected more from these two characters with all their passion for things.

The ending was a mixed bag. There is a reveal that I sort of expected, but was interesting. It explained a lot about Circen and Adam.

But then things got a bit too jejune for me. I suddenly felt like I was reading a YA story! It became to Disney World. Make a wish, click your heels and POOF, ALL your wishes come true.

I liked this one a lot more than the last in the series.

Anyway, I will read book #4 next month. But, if it isn't better written than the first 3, I will stop them. Even though I like the characters, there is just to much repetitive thoughts to hold my interest. ( )

I enjoyed this better than some of the others in the series. The beginning kind of dragged for me. ( )

I love how this book went, with Circenn making a oath to Adam. And with Lisa letting her curiosity get the best of her. In this book you've combined two worlds into one. Lisa was sent back to fourteenth century Scotland, by ways of touching a cursed flask. Circenn Brodie a mighty fine immortal warrior had made an oath to kill whomever came with the flask. but at the mere sight of Lisa he knew he couldn't. Instead he started breaking his oaths ans lying, which ended up making him handfasted to Lisa. With a quite hilarious interlude and hot steamy chemistry these two people from two different worlds were meant to be together. And Circeen was going to make sure that their love lasts forever. Great read totally recommend this to anyone who loves feisty wine, sexy men in tartans, and the world of the fae. ( )
