To Tame A Highland Warrior

Title: To Tame A Highland Warrior
Author: Karen Marie Moning
Series: Highlander (Book 2)
Genre: Historical Romance


Gavrael McIllioch, now called Grimm, is a Berserker. He often looses himself in blood lust and has a fear of killing his mate. He gets a note from someone in his past that simply says, "Come for Jillian." So he leaves to do just that.

Jillian is the daughter of the man who helped Grimm when he was young. Jillian found Grimm, her "beast-boy" and has loved him most of her life. Her father has sent for Grimm because he knows this and it is time for Jillian to marry.

Grimm loves Jillian as well, but refuses to be anything but mean to her. He is afraid if they were to get together then he would kill her or otherwise ruin her life. He also thinks that she would turn from him if she knew he was a Berserker.

To be honest, I've never heard of a Berserker before, so to be honest, I spent most of the book trying to figure it out. I could get a general idea based on what was said in the book, but I wish it had been explained in detail early on. According to Wikipedia: "Berserkers (or berserks) were Norse Warriors who are reported in the Old Norse literature to have fought in a nearly uncontrollable, trance-like fury,"

Aside from that, I thought the story was okay - predictable and not nearly as entertaining as the first book in the series.
