Book Reviews of Beyond the Highland Mist (Highlander) (Highlander)
Book Review: Good, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I just wasn't thrilled about this book. After seeing the Moning Mania around the web I thought this was going to be great. The whole "I hate beautiful men." plot was way to unbelievable. Based on one bad experience Adrienne had made up her mind to hate all handsome men. Really? How silly.
What was the point of the time travel? Adrienne just took it in stride much too easily without questioning what happened for more than a few paragraphs. If you're going to do a time travel then show the conflicts that arise from it. The story would have been much better off if she had just been a synical woman from that time.
I actually really liked the conflict between Adrienne and Hawk for the first 1/3 of the novel. She was strong and funny and didn't put up with anything. After the first 1/3 of the novel it just seemed cruel and unnecessary. She even knew that she was being horrible and kept on with her behaviour. It just seemed childish and I started to wish for someone better for Hawk.
Most of the dialogue was just too modern. I like a good Scottish burr and this was definitely lacking it. The language just kept taking me back to the current century. There was some witty banter between the two but it was pretty sparce.
The whole faery thing seemed so cartoonish. Like a bad comedy. Snap your fingers and she's back in the 21st centure. Snap again and she's naked in Hawk's arms. Lame. I like a good fantasy but this was just too contrived.
From the reviews I've read this is not her best work so I'll try again with Grimm's story.
Summary of Beyond the Highland Mist (Highlander) (Highlander)
An alluring lairdHe was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart - until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length - but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.
A prisoner in time
She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side....
