“The only other calling I ever felt was an irrepressible desire to be Captain of my own Starship. I was born in the wrong century and it wasn’t possible, so I chose to explore the universe by writing fiction instead. Books are doors to endless adventure.” -KMMKaren Marie Moning is the #1 NYT bestselling author of the F...

4.5-5 “felt this in my loins stars!”“For he owned the beast and the beast owned him..”This book was such a surprise! I am in love with a Berserker named Gabriel “Grimm” Roderick. Since binging The Last Kingdom, I am craving reads like this. There’s nothing like a wild beast of a man that will fight to the death for his woman. NOTHING.This story had paranormal elements in it, and I love the way Karen writes all her stories. She has set that bar for pnr & fantasy for me. Period! “Sometimes the...

Note to my parents, you guys should've done 10 years ago what Jillian's parents did for their daughter. Send me three hunks of prime male specimen and leave me to it.

Weird heroine but such a fun book.

Delightful and sensual!The second book in the series takes us on a new journey with new characters with tried-and-true characters from the first making their appearances. This time we set in Scotland in the 1500s. We follow the story of Jillian and Grimm as they find their path to love through old family secrets and a plot to destroy Grimm and his heritage.Just like the first this is very well written. The romance scenes are nice and hot and steamy. The build-up to the climax is great but the cl...

★1 star..★ - FULL ON RAMBLING AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!I can't tell you how much it pains me to give this a one.There was so many things,I found irritating in this book and well the main lead characters were a huge part of that.I get that this book is a second-chance-at-romance kind of book and I also went in KNOWING that it will take a bit of time before the two main characters,let go of their resentment and pride and got back together.But DAMNMIT ! Did all that unnecessary drama have to be...

This love story is about Grimm the strong warrior that had made wishes upon the stars for his best friend Hawk to find his true love in the first book of the series.

Grimm already has a true love and for his own reasons he is trying to avoid her until her father decides to play the matchmaker.

My favourite scene was the stealing of the bride from the church. I seriously pray to find such scenes in the romantic books I am reading.

This book made my day when I finish it and I highly recommend it.

Is there some rule in writing a historical romance novel that the male character must be a total jerkbag? And, the female must be a complete and utter fool? Cuz, this is the second book in a row that I have been completely and utterly disgusted by the depiction of my gender. I mean, okay, girls like reformed bad boys sometimes - reformed being the key word here. But, the idea that we are all aflutter when some guy treats us like dirt might possibly give guys the wrong idea (not to mention girls ...

Re-read: 10/24/21

After reading a less than thrilling erotic romance about a berserker yesterday afternoon, I was moved to come back and re-read a really excellent romance about a berserker last night...and so here we are.

I apparently never did a proper review on this as I read it many years before goodreads even existed. I'll just say that if you like old school highlander romance with a bit of a paranormal element thrown in, then this book (and series in general) might strike your fancy.

2 1/2 to 3 starsI'm glad I read this series out of order (these books can be read out of order). I'm honestly not sure if would have continued the series had I read the first three books in the series first. Personally, I don't think the series was particularly engrossing until after the third book. Books four, five, and six are my favorite, with book six, The Immortal Highlander, my favorite of the series. You must, however, read books four, five, six, and seven in order. I recommend reading th...

I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. After reading the first one and being underwhelmed by the time travel aspect, I assumed this one would be much the same, however, in my opinion, this book is much better than the first. With the exception of the mention of a few characters from the first book in the series, To Tame a Highland Warrior can easily be read as a standalone novel.Why did this one work for me? Well, no time travel, for one thing. Another important factor is the...

I loved this book. Really, I don't get why people say that you could skip the first two books in the series and it wouldn't matter. This first 2 books may not be as good as the rest but IMHO they are still worth of being read. The first one was good, but this one was awesome. I know that this will be another series to add to my favs list soon. I'm not adding this book to that list, but if the rest of the books in the series are even better than this one they'll end up there because this one almo...
