Moonlight Warrior Mass Market Paperback – April 28, 2009

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 544 ratings

Eve Anderson is darned tired of Kenzie Gregor meddling in her business. She might be struggling to keep herself and her ailing mother financially afloat, but she's no princess in need of a strong, capable knight in a black SUV to rescue her -- even if he is easy on the eyes. Besides, there's something very odd about him...and she's sure the strange events occurring in their small coastal Maine town are linked to his recent arrival.

Once an immortal warrior cursed to live as a panther, Kenzie is finally free to live and die as a man, and his destiny is to help other displaced souls. Of course, if he can get tiny, blue-eyed, curly blond Eve out of the deal, well...life doesn't get any better. But she's as stubborn and fierce as a lioness, and in order to win her love, he must tempt her with forbidden desires....

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Chapman revisits her time-traveling band of medieval Scots warriors in the first of a series spun off from 2008's Secrets of the Highlander. Kenzie Gregor is a centuries-old warrior who moves to modern smalltown Maine to help his friend William thwart the curse that turned him into a dragon. Accompanied by Daar, a smart-mouthed 1,800-year-old Druidic priest with waning powers and an enormous appetite, Kenzie unknowingly displaces Eve Anderson and her mother, Mabel, from their foreclosed home. Worried about Mabel's dementia and how to save the family business, Eve reluctantly allows Kenzie to hire her as a caretaker while he turns the land into a working farm. There's plenty of good humor, while Mabel's illness and the curse add necessary pathos. Lovable characters, a sweet romance and the grouchy troublemaker dragon combine for a delightful read. (May)

What a wonderful story and it makes awesome start for the series which will easily steal your heart. It's a powerful combination of secrets and excitement that's full humor and romance plus fun. I know this will be a unique series! With stories that will bring a smile to your face with lots of emotions. The characters are awesome and their emotions burns up the pages with it's chemistry. There are plenty feisty women who is so independent and some who are not but it makes you cheer them on anyway. Reading this story was a pleasurable experience that you will keep you on the edge of your seat with this family its so amazing and they makes you want to read the other stories in the series.The stories are about family and this is what makes them binge worthy that will be amazing to read. If each one is like this they will make you turn every page until the end. I really enjoyed these characters they are so amazing and great together. When you add in the drama along with tons of emotions plus some intriguing twists and turns then you have a story that's full of feelings and so awesome. The couples aren't searching for forever, but the chemistry is so fantastic that it turns into a great love that's strong with each other. These relationships are loads of romance and heartache that all works out for good! Even the secondary characters are so extraordinary that it takes such imagination to make this book a beautiful story to read. This story is truly delightful and amazing with it's being humorous and exciting in nature I Highly Recommend Reading it. This is a five stars story that I know I will read more than once!

I enjoyed this story despite not usually enjoying supernatural characters or magical plots. Instead, it was told in a way that the author made seem believable. The author’s note at the end about her own mother was heartwarming.
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2009
Really like this story, it was so much better then the last book.
Of course Kenzie is certainly a total hunk, and absolutely deliciously old-fashioned, protective and possessive. Swoon! ( what more can a gal want? :)

Once an immortal warrior cursed to live as a panther, Kenzie is finally free for the last 6 months to live and die as a man, and his destiny is to help other displaced souls. Initially, he's cautious in his attraction to Eve because his destiny as a Soul Warrior can put those he cares about in the path of constant danger.
But all that falls on way side when the MINE factor takes over and he will let nothing stand in his way of claiming Eve. Much to her dismay since he feels that only women need to love, while men have 'needs'. Ugh?!
Gotta love a medieval man, but he soon realizes the error of his ways:)
Eve, though she's attracted to him, is wary, since her failed marriage and recent divorce. And it annoys her to hell that Kenzie is always there to rescue her. So what if she's petite, she can defend herself and has she's proven it. Right?
This was an enjoyable book, with lovely humourous moments.

JC has drawn on personal experience in the creation of Mabel, Eve's mother, and her illness. It was touching and insightful to read about this tragic medical condition.
Love the relationship between Mabel and William, and Kenzie's absolute support of Eve during this time, unlike her awful ex.
Love the secondary characters too esp. William and Maddy. Hope they get a book.

Janet Chapman has started a new arc with The Midnight Bay series, a spin off from the Highlander series. What a great start it is. Can't wait for the next book.

Love the series! Humor, love, sadness and magic. What more do you need? I have enjoyed every one of Janet Chapman's books!

Janet Chapman is a brilliant writer from beginnning to end you are wrapped up in the story. If you get your hands on any of Janet Chapman books you wont be dissapointed, she knows how to weave her magic around a story.

If you buy this book you will also have to purchase Dragon, Mystical Warrior in the series and the whole Spellbound Falls series and all of course the Pine Creek Highlander books are a must because the stories are a continuation.

So read all of the Pine Creek Highlander series first, then the Midnight Bay series and then read the Spellbound Falls series. You wont be dissapointed I loved every book and I would read them again, there isn't a bad book in the bunch.

I and my older kids completely love Janet Chapman and all her books. We, as a family, were so sad and heavy hearted to hear of her passing. My review on this and ANY of Ms. Chapman's books... the only way to make them any more entertaining would be to make ALL OF HER SERIES available on AUDIBLE BOOKS!

Another great read! The panther comes to life with a gentle soul and a love for all cursed lives seeking answers. Kenzie and Eve find their destinies with each other as they set up a special sanctuary for those who need their help. Wonderful people and storyline.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1. Band der "Midnight Bay" Serie
Reviewed in Germany on August 19, 2011
Der 1. Band der "Midnight Bay" Serie handelt über Kenzie McGregor, der mit Daar an die Küste Maines gezogen ist und schließt direkt an die "Highlander"-Serie an (d.h. "A Highlander Christmas" kommt eigentlich erst nach "Moonlight Warrior").
Er ist unterhaltsam und auch auf Englisch leicht zu lesen, aber nicht das allerbeste Buch der Autorin.
Reihenfolge der "Midnight Bay"-Reihe:
1. Moonlight Warrior
2. Dragon Warrior
3. Mystical Warrior

This is a spin off from J.C previous series, you need to read those first, 21 century warrior highlander types, love women, trial and tribulations, this book carries off from them he was a former shifter. i really enjoyed this book, still not as good as feehan/ward type books. but enjoyed it none the less.

3.0 out of 5 stars close ties to another series or just a bit naff?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2011
Just before writing this review, i read the others and this gave a possible explanation for my main criticisms of this book. When reading it i had no idea it was a spin off and while i enjoyed this book i kept feeling that i was missing something and now I know why.

The plot was interesting and the characters pleasant. Kenzie Gregor, former panther turned soul warrior trying to help other souls. He buys a farm in Midnight Bay and unwittingly makes Eve and mother homeless. He likes Eve and decides to keep them around but Eve is wary of men after her divorce (though everyone thinks Kenzie is perfect for her).

The plot follows Kenzie trying to keep a wicked witch at Bay, set up an animal sanctuary, keep a stubborn dragon from being irresponsible and maybe having a relationship with Eve without putting her in harms way. It was enjoyable and the host of old-fashioned highland men made it pretty humorous at times. Despite this i felt that the whole book lacked depth. At the end of the book i still don't really understand Kenzie's quest as a soul warrior. There was no insight into his past as a panther (which apparently occurred in the original series) and i couldn't help but feel that he was a superficial character. We know more about Eve but i still wasn't drawn in. The enemy witch made many random storms but again wasn't a strong influence in the book.

I enjoyed it but i don't think that there was much of a story there at all. There were some good parts and so im torn over continuing reading this series.
A review said that you don't need to read the original series to understand and enjoy these but i think i disagree. I have not read the previous books so I cannot be sure that it would help but i felt a bit lost with this book trying to find the crux of the story. Either this series builds on the Highlander series or it is just not very good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2016
A poor read. I love this genre of book; time travelling, hung like a horse, celtic love god meets modern feisty woman, who can't quite believe they'll fit as he's so big and she's so tiny and feminine, but they're soul mates and the sex is out of this world blah blah, but this has to be the creakiest, naffest dialogue I've read in years. It's awful. I read it as it was recommended to me. I'll trust my instincts next time.
