Book Description
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....

This review is from: To Tame a Highland Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
Well I loved Karen's first book Beyond the Highland Mist so much I had to buy all her books. I was so glad I did because I really loved this book. This is Grimm's story. In the first book. Grimm's best friend Hawk marries a woman named Adrienne who makes a wish for Grimm but won't tell either of them what it is. Well the wish is for Grimm to find a woman who would heal his heart as Hawk had healed hers. Well Grimm did. He has a secret though, one that he is terribly afraid to reveal. He is a Berserker. He flees his home at a very young age after seeing his father holding his dead mother and dripping in her blood and holding a knife. Then his home and villiage is attacked and he becomes the enraged beast like Berserker. He flees vowing never to return. Well He spends a few years on his own until he is discovered by a beautiful little girl and her family takes him in. They train him and provide for him and the little girl falls in love with him and follows him everywhere. But when his foster family is attacked he turns Berserker again and now flees them so that they will never know his dark secret. He loves the girl but believes that if she knew the truth she would turn from him in horror. Plus he is desperately afraid that he might turn Berserker and accidently kill her. When years later he gets a letter from the girls father asking him to return to take care of her, he does imediately even though he knows it will be hard to face her. Jillian has now grown into a beautiful woman but hasn't found a husband yet. Her father devises a plan to get Grimm there and invites two other suitors to make Jillian choose and make Grimm jealous. It works. They are still in love but Grimm won't admit it. Someone is trying to kill him and he flees again fearing that Jillian will be hurt if he stays. Quinn, one of the other suitors grew up with both Jillian and Grimm and knows they love each other but for Jillian's sake agrees to marry her. Grimm flys into the wedding at the last possible moment and takes Jillian with him. Finally admitting that he loves her.This story is funny and touching and very sensual. The love scenes are truely hot. get this book and any others by Karen Marie Moning.

Okay read, but not Moning's best,

This review is from: To Tame a Highland Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
Compared to the other books in this series, I found this book to be good, but not great. I think that I would advise people who are new to the series to skip the first two books and simply start with the third. Although the first two books do provide a certain measure of background information, I did not find it to be particularly important to understanding the subsequent books. I think that it is fair to say that K.M.Moning's writing gets better with every book that she writes.

You'll Swoon,

This review is from: To Tame a Highland Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
Grimm is a deliciously tormented hero, and Jillian, simply done with begging him to love her. I am a sucker for a man who fears the devestation that could be caused by his own power, and Grimm/Gavriel is just the man! Also, there are three men competing for Jillian's heart, and whoa, that is just fantastically ideal if you want to escape by stepping into her petticoats for a few days. There is danger, a mildly unexpected twist, some misunderstandings that could have been cleared up by simple conversation, but all in all, this book succeeds in telling a rapturous story. The hero truly does love the heroine, and will not do harm by her. That, to me, is a love story worthy of big SIGHS and gentle tears. Jillian truly helps Gavriel to grow as a person and to find himself, and ultimately, claim redemption and see his own worth. This, to me, is what soulmates do. :)
