Book Reviews of To Tame a Highland Warrior (Highlander, Book 2)
Book Review: The formula needs a time traveler to work
Summary: 2 Stars
Gavrael McIllioch hides a secret that terrifies him - he is a Berserker. Strong emotions, or the sight of blood, tap supernatural strengths within him and risk him spinning out of control into violent mayhem. He's known Jillian since her family took him in, but even she doesn't know his real name or story. Through a peculiar ruse, the couple is thrown together and their childhood hair-pulling, insult-trading is shown to be a thin disguise for true love. But....and isn't there always a "but", Gavrael is afraid he'll turn on Jillian, so he pushes her away.
This would be an OK story if I didn't know how much better Karen Marie Moning's books could be. Her tales of spirited modern heroines taking on fourteenth century warriors, intertwined with the doings of the Fae, are among my favorite romances. Meanwhile, Jillian is a saucy heroine who, with her unconventional parents, are out of place in their home century. Go ahead and read To Tame a Highland Warrior, but don't judge the author by this one. Check out Beyond the Highland Mist (The Highlander Series, Book 1) or The Dark Highlander (The Highlander Series, Book 5) instead. There is a sort of order to the series, but it's not key to enjoyment. If you like them enough, you can go back and reread them in order.
Summary of To Tame a Highland Warrior (Highlander, Book 2)
Only her love could gentle his savage soul—He was born to a clan of warriors of supernatural strength, but Gavrael McIllioch abandoned his name and his Highland castle, determined to escape the dark fate of his ancestors. Hiding his identity from the relentless rival clan that hunted him, he called himself Grimm to protect the people he cared for, vowing never to acknowledge his love for ravishing Jillian St. Clair. Yet even from afar he watched over her, and when her father sent an urgent summons, "Come for Jillian," he raced to her side—into a competition to win her hand in marriage.
Why had he run from her so many years before? And why return now to see her offered as a prize in her father's manipulative game? Furious, Jillian vowed never to wed. But Grimm was the man she loved, the one who urged her to marry another. He tried to pretend indifference as she tempted him, but he could not deny the fierce desires that compelled him to abduct her from the altar. She was the only woman who could tame the beast that raged within him—even as deadly enemies plotted to destroy them both....
