Product Description |
A Woman’s Tender Touch
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.
A Warrior’s Steely Heart
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.... |

EXCITING SERIES |
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Grimm and Jillian were intriguing characters, when
combined they were awesome. The plot was exciting and
we couldn't put the book down. More please! |

Grimm's story |
This was so much better than the first in the series, "Beyond the Highland Mist." I was so disappointed with that book but I had heard that the others were much better. Thankfully, this one was. Grimm was wonderful as the dark brooding hero and Jillian was completely lovestruck by him. I loved how she constantly felt like a tongue-tied 13 year old whenever she was near and he kept trying to make her feel like she was a huge annoyance when really he was just trying to protect her. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that Grimm gave in too quickly. I would have like to see both characters struggle just a bit more.
I also loved the reunion with his family. Very readable! |

Not nearly as good as book #1 |
I loved her first Highlander book, but this one I had to trudge through. I felt the heroine was a little too spoiled and "perfect" for my liking. I did not feel the chemistry between them one bit. I honestly felt Grimm deserved so much better.
Lastly, I would like to read a saucy romance book that's not accented so heavily with "Christ", as in "Christ"-the curse word, among other things that make me cringe in this book. I might give her one more try with another book, but if they continue like this, I'm not interested. |

Another Great Read |
|
This book is a sequal to Beyond the Highland Mist both are stand alones but better if the other is read first. As this is also an excellent read. There are few authors who can make a story come to life so well, or tell a story in a way to keep a person page turning in quite this fashion. This is definately another Great Read from KMM. |

The formula needs a time traveler to work |
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.
