To Tame a Highland Warrior (Highlander, #2)

Karen Marie Moning writes a floorless romance.
This is the second book I have read in this series and on both occasions I have been gobsmacked at how perfectly proportioned they are.
The drama, suspense and romance are all extremely well balanced that I was left in a constant need for more.
The sex scenes are written without explicit detail giving it a more romantic feel and aren’t a big part of the story – concentrating more on the emotional love instead of the physical.
Karen also seems to have a profound confidence in her knowledge of the books era. She makes it sound completely realistic that its hard not to feel a part of the story and any writer that can use the word ‘infinitesimally’ and not sound like a tool gets a big two thumbs up from me.
This is the second time I have been left with a pounding heart and I can’t wait for the third.
Favourite quote...and who’s heart wouldn’t pound at the sound of this:
“I wake up wanting you. I fall asleep wanting you. I watch a magnificent sunrise and can think only of sharing it with you. I glimpse a piece of amber and see your eyes. Jillian, I’ve caught a disease, and the fever abates only when i’m near you”.
*sigh*

I agree, Moning certainly knows how to do historical romance. This book is my favourite in the series so far. I loved Grim. Yummo!

Have you read any others? I loved Grimm but I think Hawk is my fav so far
ooh I loved Grim! I'm up to book four. I read the others a few months ago now and felt like I needed a break from the series, so I'm now only getting back into it. I love Moning's writing style and reading about gorgeous Scottish men is an all time favourite pastime,so I'm hooked on this series! I haven't read any of her Shadowfever series though.
