Book corner 2 - The Start

Highlander Fever!

I’m sorry.

So it begins one night when I was having a “craving” for a certain type of a book and there I stumbled upon Darkfever. The synopsis interested me, mainly because I am SO SICK OF VAMPIRE ROMANCE STORIES, THEY ARE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE I LOOK! I tried The Black Dagger Brotherhood but by god, I could not finish even the third of it

Anyway, back on track: So I found out my preferred “flavor” of such types of books were Fae lore/romance/story, basically anything to do with Fae. I found Darkfever to be interesting concept, though I admit it was hard to keep the interest when Mac was describing the horror or some feeling she felt of some object or person for THREE PARAGRAPHS until finally telling the reader what it ACTUALLY WAS she was seeing, and as I read the next book and the next I found that this was almost exactly like watching a TV show. I mean there is a HUGE story being told there with many beginning, middle and end that was in my opinion cleverly done. With even a good cliffhanger at almost each book to hook you in to reading the next one even though it was 11:30pm and you had work at 6:30am the next morning.

I felt like a drug addict. EVEN MY PARENTS CALLED OUT ON ME FOR NOT DOING ENOUGH CHORES AROUND THE HOUSE!

Anyway, in the end I love love loved it, sure it could be a little rocky at places and when it went into the “stuff” (couldn’t think of a clever innuendo)... I’ll let the gif do the talking

and after the binge read/watch of this amazing series came the emptiness and I did some digging around about the author because I didn’t want to get spoiled and to my surprise there was another series by this blond female author about this mysterious Adam Black and the Super interesting *cough*hot*cough* MacKeltar Druids.

So I jumped right into the first pool everyone warned me about was not that great of a temperature not until you get into the third or fourth pool...

...

Let me just lay this out in the open: I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO WROTE BEYOND THE HIGHLANDER MISTS AND THE FEVER SERIES!!!

BY GOD! I HAVEN’T SEEN THIS MANY CHARACTERS DO A FLIP SINCE THE FRIGGING OLYMPICS!

It had it’s moments, confusing but nevertheless hot moments, but I knew I was in for a treat when I LAUGHED OUT LOUD FOR 5 MINUTES IN THE FUCKING THIRD PARAGRAPH. It was supposed to be serious, an innuendo for sure, but it was so cheesy I thought I would get a stomach ache or diarrhea at the end. To quote RDJ again

So instead of getting a good book/TV hybrid like her Fever series I got:

Two jealous Fae males dicking around dark and “long” haired, Braveheart Casanova in the 16th century by Outlandering a small, blond, virgin and a “beautiful-men-hating” woman from USA in the 21st century.

So I went to the next books synopsis and reviews and decided to skip 2&3, because IDGAF about 2 and I MIGHT go into 3rd, but we’ll see.

But then the 4th is:

A small, blond and a virgin scientist from USA in the 21st century LITERALLY FALLS on a dark and “long” haired Highlander Druid from the 16th century in a coma and wakes him up. After realizing he really IS in the future, he must find a way to trust this wee lass he is falling hard for, to save the MacKeltar line in the 16th century by sending her back in time where he will lose his memories, and it is up to her to help him regain his memories by seducing the crap out of him.

And the 5th:

A small, blond and a virgin antique expert from USA in the 21st century is trapped by the dark and “Long” haired twin brother of the previous book, because he is being possessed by 13 evil wizards for saving his brother’s life once using the time travel thingy from the Outlander series and together they must find a way through time travel paradoxes and the frigging Illuminati, but is saved by this mysterious (again might go into 3rd) Adam Black.

then the 6th(which I just finished):

Adam Black is being punished by the Faery Queen for his act in book 5 by being invisible in his favored glamour, a dark and “Long” haired Highlander blacksmith. A small, blond and a virgin, sidhe seer and a law student from USA in the 21st century happens to be the only one to see him and together they must find a way with the help of the MacKeltar Four to roll the events that lead into the Fever series.

....

Now there is a pattern here somewhere from this blond author, but I just can’t keep my finger on...

Now despite the fact that I am going to read the 7th book tomorrow, because it’s 11:30pm and I have work at 7am tomorrow. And despite the fact that I am starting to get sick and tired of the small blond American virgin falling in love with yet another dark and long haired Highlander and because English is my second language and I have a fucking hard time reading those accents and burrs and doona’s and whatnots. I freaking love reading about the MacKeltars! They were so interesting minor characters in the Fever series and there was CLEARLY a story about them that I was aching to read about. And when I found out that there actually is a whole series about them...

Despite the ABYSMAL rocky start, it has been a journey to see Karen’s writing bloom from an ugly, not well kept seed, into a heartwrenching flower. I look forward to reading Spell of the Highlander tomorrow after work and finish this series

Scene search

Does anyone who’s read the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning remember where the scene is that Lor says something along the lines of that he only sleeps with blondes because he’s inclined to settle down with brunettes?

I found the scene where he tells Mac about his dead wife being one and when he sleeps with Jo he lightly mentioned breaking his rule, but I’m looking for that original comment.
