Into the Dreaming (Highlander #8) by Karen Marie Moning

Into the Dreaming (with bonus material)
Title:  Into The Dreaming
Author: Karen Marie Moning
Series: Highlander #8
Genre:  Paranormal Romance/Historical Romance

Rating: 4/5

Aspiring romance novelist Jane Sillee was completely in love with her fantasy man -- the hot and strapping dark-haired Highlander who d been coming to her in her dreams for years and inspired her sensual flights of literary fancy.

But it was more than her imagination that conjured up the brilliantly woven tapestry sporting the spitting image of her magnificently arrogant warrior. It was more than a dream that transported her to medieval Scotland to break an evil spell. And it was more than she could handle when she found herself wrapped in the muscular arms of Aedan MacKinnon, who had his own fantasies to fulfill...


Review:

I read this book in one sitting.  I enjoyed this book so very much.  It's the eighth book in Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series but it can defiantly be read as a stand alone.

What I enjoyed about this book was that it had different elements mixed into it.  There were paranormal romance elements and then there were historical romance elements too.  I haven't read any of the prior books in the Highlander series so I wasn't sure what to expect when I sat down with my Nook and read this one.  Let's just say that I was happy with the outcome.

Each of the characters has a set of their own demons.  Aedan has been bound to the Unseelie King for roughly 500 years and Jane is an aspiring author who is having issues getting her book noticed by publishers.  Then the Seelie Queen gets involved and things get really interesting for our main characters.

I really enjoyed reading about the involvement of the Seelie Queen and the Unseelie King.  Not only do they have involvement with our main characters it does seem that these two have a history together.

Aedan at the beginning of the book is a bit of a tyrant and it makes it very easy to not like him.  Then Jane comes along and turns his world upside down, whether he liked it or not.  As Into The Dreaming progressed I really enjoyed seeing Aedan grow out of being a tyrant and grow into a loving, caring individual.  I really liked Jane a lot.  She's thrust back in time and gets stuck with this lunatic tyrant and she's bound and determined to make him love her because they have met before.....In the Dreaming.

There wasn't all that much that I didn't like about this book.  I'm actually having a hard time coming up with something that I didn't really care for.  I guess the one thing that really stands out to me at this point is the length.  I thought that this was a full length novel and it's more of a novella.  Which is fine but I did think it was a little short.  Overall, I'm beyond happy that I picked up the book.  I you haven't read this book or anything by Karen Marie Moning please do.  This is a really great book and author!
