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....
While not as well plotted as some of Moning's other romances, this romp in the Scottish Highlands is entertaining, sexy, and bubbly. Narrator Phil Gigante keeps pace with the time-travel story as Gwen Cassidy, a twentieth-century physicist, literally falls into the arms of Drustan MacKeltar, a sixteenth-century Scottish Druid laird (who's been enchanted and hidden away in a cave for 500 years). Gigante puts as much energy into narrating the often-explicit sex scenes as he does the tender conversations between Gwen and her future father-in-law. Gigante gives the impression that he's spent a long time getting to know the characters so that he may perform, rather than simply read. But, yet again, his diverse Scottish accents leave nothing to be desired. A.A. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
