![]() ![]() Kiss of the Highlander offered Drustan MacKeltar’s story, and precedes The Dark Highlander which features Drustan’s identical twin, Dageus. If you didn’t read any of the previous books, you are going to be at a loss as to half the stuff that goes on in this latest escapade. The Dark Highlander is fifth in a series devoted to the MacKeltars, a family of time-traveling, magical Scotsmen doing battle with evil Druids from centuries past. A few more pages, and I’d be hitching up the trailer and moving to F-ville. Then, the obscure and puzzling resolution brought it down another half-grade. Even so, I was willing to go with a C- for the most part – until I hit the first love scene. Whatever success this author attained in terms of decent imagery or interesting detail was lost on a hero and heroine who had me gritting my teeth in irritation by the middle of the book. Och, lass, I have more problems than praise for The Dark Highlander in fact, I have virtually no praise at all. ![]()
