From the back cover...

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...

REVIEW...

Lisa Stone was swept into a past that she knew little about, this was her punishment for touching a rare artifact sealed tightly in a wooden chest for centuries. Whisked to the past she finds herself face to face with a very powerful and very naked warrior named Circenn or Cin as his friends call him. Unable to kill her as he was ordered to do, since she was the bearer of the flask, which held untold secrets, he finds himself questioning all his beliefs and falling in love with a very stubborn and stunning woman. Can he lay aside his pride and his oath to be with the woman of his heart, or must he do as duty tells him and kill the one woman he has ever loved?

I found this to be a wonderful story full of plot surprises and terrific dialogue. Karen is truely one of the most talented new authors in the paranormal/time travel gendre. If you haven't read one of Ms. Moning's books yet then do yourself a favor and try one today. You will not be disappointed. Ms. Moning has become an automatic buy for me.

Excellent
