Healing the Highlander (Daughters of the Glen) ReviewHealing the Highlander was a great addition to this series! I love how Ms. Mayhue continues to build on the world and characters we encountered in her first books. Modern day Leah, who we encountered in previous novels, is the subject of this book along with battered and scarred highlander Andrew MacAlister. When I first started to read about Andrew I feared that he'd end up being a angry bitter character for the entire book like most scarred heroes I've encountered. I was so glad to see that Andrew remained determined and strong throughout the book, and while he did battle his insecurities and challenges stemming from his injury, he never let it get the best of him. Leah, complete with her own emotional scars, is rescued by Andrew from a loch and while she battles her own internal issues, we have the pleasure of seeing Leah's walls come down. Andrew and Leah are a wonderfully paired couple, both strong in their own ways and weak in others, and they both complement each other in how they face those weaknesses.
This book has all the elements of a lighthearted Romance. I especially loved how Ms. Mayhue conveyed that family goes beyond the immediate. Leah is transported to Medieval Scotland to escape the torture of a Nuadian Fae, and there she finds a family she has never met before. She embraces them and is embraced by them, forging new bonds of loyalty which sends her on quest to save them in this book.
Much like Ms. Mayhue's previous books, I was drawn into the writing, the story and the characters. I continue to love how these stories unfold, each highlighting specific characters, letting their stories be told and live independently and yet part of a whole. This seventh book in the series does not disappoint. I would strongly recommend reading these books in order since characters appear throughout the series and events that take place in previous books have an impact on things that happen in later ones (for example; how modern day Leah ended up in the past)

The Gypsy Casts a Spell ReviewI read this realitively new author's first book (Cera's Place) and went searching for another one written by her. I found "The Gypsy Casts a Spell".
I'm happy to say that I love this short story! The characters are great - romance & happy endings - this book delivers both. My only disappointment was that its too "short". (but I guess that's what a short story is!)The Gypsy Casts a Spell OverviewVadoma Taits has the “sight" and has seen her own death. On what she thinks is her last day on earth, her cousin stabs a man during the annual autumn fair. In her remaining hours, Vadoma sets out to save him from the gallows. When the village's Marquis rebuffs her pleas for mercy, she turns to desperate measures.

Under the Highlander's Spell ReviewThe heroine of this story, Zia, is the real focus of the book, although she's hardly under the Highlander's spell. The highlander in question, Artair Sinclare, we met in the previous book by this author. However in this story he seems to have somehow become emasculated and his only action appears to be to follow Zia around, making sure that she gets enough food and saying he'll protect her. His idea of protection is getting her to marry him; once she's a member of the powerful Sinclare family then the various people who are denouncing her as a witch will find they can't get anywhere with the accusations. The common theme in this sort of book, that of the hero having to come to a realisation that he is in love, is rather too hackneyed and feels too unrealistic to work well in this setting.
Zia is a rather stereotypical healer - entirely unselfconscious when healing, totally devoted to her patients, liable to do foolish and risky things in the name of healing. She also seems remarkably successful - there were no deaths of people she was treating during the course of the book which must be very unusual in that time. Perhaps more evidence that she really is a witch! The minor twist at the end with a secret that the Bishop holds wasn't particularly surprising although it did allow the story to be wrapped up well, but also didn't bode well for the Bishop's honesty and integrity in his clerical role.
With the rather unbelievable Zia, the nebulous Artair and a subplot about Artair's brother Ronan which wasn't resolved in this story, the book felt rather unremarkable. It is as if it's a transitional book between the author's stories of Cavan, the elder brother, and Ronan, the younger. Artair and Zia didn't really have anything special in the book that will help me to remember it in future. The setting in 16th century Scotland had rather more potential than was realised in the book and the fact that various characters regularly broke out into modern American English meant that this story is not one that piqued my attention or that will stay with me.

Spell of the Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 7) ReviewOh, if only this book had been longer, I didn't want it to end! But if it hadn't I would have been up even later than 3am.
If your familliar with Moning's books you'll know this is a continuation in the Kelter Druid/ Faery series.And after reading the end of this book you find out that there are atleast 2 or 3 more books to come! The dialogue of this novel was so beautiful I may force my husband to read it and learn a thing or two!
Cian Kelter is the oldest of our druid hotties yet. A genetic freak born in the 9th century & made laird at birth, he has all the possible magical abilities bred into the Kelter line. Naively he invited another druid into the castle one night, an evil twisted man, and to sum up events Cian ended up stuck in an enchanted mirror perched on his enemies study wall for the past 1,133 years. And he'd have probably stayed there...if the magic that enabled a previous Kelter hotty to serve hadn't also triggered an unheard of string of events...
Passed through the black market and still trapped in his mirror, Cian has to hide out for 3 more weeks and his entrapment will end. He ends up in the round about possesion of Jessi St. James, an overworked anthropology graduate in Chicago. Convincing her to summon him from the mirror a few brief hours each day, Cian is able to slay the assasins the baddy sends after Jessi & himself only to find - with the hillarious help of his Kelter descendants- that Jessi is his soul mate. But winning his freedom may very well kill him & the love he feels...
