My love for Karen Marie Moning knows no bounds. When I want a romance novel that not only has amazing romance but also (gasp! shock!) an amazing plot, I turn to KMM and I'm never disappointed. This happens to be my favorite of her novels, and I'm not positive how many times I've read it, but I'm sure there will be many more to come.
Ok, even though it was yet ANOTHER virgin, I liked this story better. Making the Fae a bigger part, and getting better about including past characters increases my enjoyment. But for crying out loud, can we get a mid 20's girl with some life experience? Please?
Oh, I really enjoyed this book, and the worlds of Highlander and Fever are really coming together for me! So great! Can't wait to read more, Adam and Gabrielle's story was just so great!

“The other day upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today; how I wish he'd go away!”
How is it possible to find each book of this series better than the last?
Adam Black, Amadan Dubh, Sin Siriche Du; no matter what you call him, expect trouble with a capital "T".
From the start of the series Adam has played a pivotal role. The only member of the Tuatha Dè Danann that liked mortals. Although he wasn't always kind, his fascination with the mortals whose life he meddled in taught him to be more accepting and understanding (as much as he could) of them. Adam was a bit of a puzzle to me and I was thrilled that I finally for to read Adam's story.
After pleading to Aiobheal for the life of Dageus MacKelter, Adam was punished to the human world in mortal form, stripped of all his powers and invisible to humans. He meets sidhe seer Gabrielle O'Callaghan, who is able to see both the Mortal and Faery worlds and is terrified of the Fae. Adam proceeds to turn her world Updike down, making her question all she learned about the Tuatha Dè Danann and more specifically, Adam himself.
I loved that tension between Adam and Gabrielle and her fight to resist his irresistible charm. Even while on the run from danger, Adam finds ways to continue his relentless seduction of Gabby. She is a stronger woman that Me, cause I would have thrown in the towel after the fourth or fifth chapter!!
This was a great read and it reminded me of why I love romance novels: “Because, by God, when a woman picked up one of those steamy books, she had a firm guarantee that there would be a Happily-Ever-After. That though the world outside those covers could bring such sorrow and disappointment and loneliness, between those covers, the world was a splendid place to be.”

I was glad to finally see Adam’s story and glad that he finally found someone worthy of him.
My one big complaint is that in his book, Dageus forgot all of the Dragers (spelling sorry) memories and info and here he can just conveniently use it to solve the problems.

While I enjoyed this story, I got distracted with the constant mentioning of how much the hero is this golden god of such mind-numbing, panty-wetting, gorgeous perfection that no guy could ever compare to his beauty. We get it, he's super hot. Can we get to the action now?
Yes it's normal for the romance author to gush about how amazingly sexy and manly her hero is. But for some reason it seemed like overkill here... and considering how many romances I've read, that's saying something.
