Synopsis (from Goodreads): He would sell his warrior soul to possess
her. . . .
An alluring laird...
He 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. . . .

My Reveries and Ramblings: I bought this book while I was reading Karen
Marie Moning’s Fever series. I was
waiting for Shadowfever and needed
something to help me get through the waiting period. So I turned to her Highlander series…
Beyond the Highland
Mist begins with Adrienne getting transported back in time to Scotland in
the early 1500s by some faeries that want to see a certain man in misery. Hawk is that man. He is perfect in every way. Women would literally kill to be with
him. Even the faerie queen likes
him. This enrages both the faerie king
and Adam Black, also known as Puck or Robin Goodfellow. The plan: find a beautiful woman that hates
beautiful men and place her in Hawk’s
path. What follows is pages and pages of
pure enjoyment. Yes, this is a romance
novel, but Moning makes it so much more.
She constantly pushes the Adrienne and Hawk together and just when you
start to think “YES! FINALLY!” she pulls them apart. I raced through this book. I kept me on edge and wanting more. I think I’ve reread it several times since I
finished it the first time. Each time
I’m just as on edge as I was the first time.
Some of the
best moments in the book was when Hawk was trying to get Adrienne to sleep
with him and she would go to great lengths to get away from him, only to end up
in Adam Black’s arms and want to run right back to Hawk. I would HIGHLY recommend this amazing time
travel romance. You seriously won’t
regret it! I am definitely going to
finish reading the series.
