I received a copy of Laura Eno's Immortal Desires from the Knight of the Round Table group on Goodreads in exchange for a fair and honest review.  This was the second book I got from Laura to review and I loved the first one so I was really looking forward to this one.Deanne gets left at the alter by her fiance and shortly after accepts a new job in a different city.  Deanna is unaware that most of the staff are immortal beings that guard the Well of Souls.  She is sent to look at a property in Scotland and is thrown back to the year 1505 to meet the man who is her soul mate.  Ian is suspicious of her arrival but they quickly become attracted to one another and fall in love.The book started out interesting  enough and Laura writes very well so I was immediately engaged.  Her world building is excellent and the characters were intriguing, then I got about a third of the way through and the story became so much like one of Karen Moning's Highlander series it could have been mistaken for one of her books, even the dialogue I found eerily similar.  Druids, time travel back to 16th century Scotland back to the modern world separating lovers and then back to 16th century Scotland.  Mind you there are some differences, the endings were much different but they were alike enough that the story just didn't feel original enough for me.I did like the characters, but again it brought me back to the Highlander series, with Ian reminding me of Drustan McKeltar and Deanna reminding me of his wife.  In fairness though if I hadn't read the Highlander series I would think this was a really good well written story.  If you are a fan of PNR , historical romance or Karen Moning you will probably enjoy Immortal desires.3/5  Not very original but good
