About this listen
From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A 16th-century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the 13 Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit.
When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable alpha male an irresistible lure. Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back in time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting 13 evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man.
Great Scot! Don't miss our other titles in the Highlander series.©2002 Karen Marie Moning (P)2008 Brilliance AudioListeners also enjoyed...

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and no one is more desperate than Highlander Alasdair MacRae. His clan is on the verge of disaster thanks to continuous raids from the lying, thieving, murdering MacKenzies. Their latest strike has left Alasdair’s family on the precipice of starvation, and his brother badly wounded. The time has come to hit back, and what better blow to deliver than to kidnap his enemy’s daughter and use her to negotiate much-needed peace.

Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. Her dear Scottish friend from childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered.

An Emotional Rollercoaster
This is a fantastic book! It runs the full gambit of emotions. I laughed, cried, held my breath. Karen Marie Moning just keeps writing more sensationally with each book and transports us to the romantic magical highlands. Phil Gigante uses his magical voice with his sexy Scottish brogue to make us fall in love with the characters. I find it harder and harder to return from their world. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Be sure to read it!

Heart Breaking
Where does The Dark Highlander rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Of the series, this so far is my favorite one.
I never compare apples and oranges. Different genres each have their own appeal.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Chloe. Cautious but fearless. She never expected what she got. She also was very joyful, which helped The Dark not be so dark.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Dageus and Chloe meet. Condom wrapper, condom wrapper, MAXIMUS condom wrapper!!!!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely and I did.
Any additional comments?
This whole series, is so well written, performed beautifully. I never had to wonder which character was talking except the twins, as they should but when the words came out, then I knew which twin it was.

Any additional comments?
Narration - Phil Gigante - Pretty Good Great Highlanders but his females are too girly. Second listen 4/27/15 - This was so much better since I bought and listened to Kiss of the Highlander Another enjoyable book in this series.

Dark Highlander
If you could sum up The Dark Highlander in three words, what would they be?
Get a Kleenex.
What other book might you compare The Dark Highlander to and why?
I would compare Dark Highlander to any of the other Highlander books in the Moning series. I wish they could make them into a movie.
Which scene was your favorite?
1. Chloe defending herself from Giles. 2. Dageus saving Chloe from Simon and the Draghar by sacrificing himself.3. Chloe and Dageus reunion at the end. Wish there had been a reunion with Drustan and Gwen.4. Silvan and Nellie's "wedding."So many more........
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both. Extremely exciting.
Any additional comments?
My only negative about the audio version is that I wish that there had been a female narrator, too. I have nothing against Phil, but it would be easier to listen to a book when you have a real female voice to offset the male, especially in a romance story. This goes for all audio books with both male and female characters.A good example of this is the audio book by Christine Feehan, Dark Slayer. I would buy it in an instant because there are both a male and female narrator. It was great!Think about it.

Good book but…
The narrator, while he’s good at reading, wasn’t the right voice for this. Sounded like a PBS special. He did alright with the Scottish accent/voices but it was cringe worthy how he did the female voices. Took me completely out of the story and I had to focus to get back into it mentally.
