I enjoyed this story by Ms. Kerrigan Byrne.  She did a wonderful job of mixing historical and paranormal romance together.The story starts off with Rory and Conner MacLauchlan the hero discussing ambushing a coach carrying our heroine the beauteous Lindsay Ross going to meet her betrothed Laird Angus Mackay.  Lindsay is accompanied by several warriors on the journey and suddenly they are all killed with her watching in awe them being all slaughtered except her.  Lindsay can't at first see what is killing all of her warriors. She stays hidden in the coach and eventually sees our hero Connor who has become a berserker butchering one of her warriors. Instead of also killing her in the same fashion he ends up kissing and almost seducing her.  Lindsay stops him but he ends up taking her to a river and a cave where he returns back to an ordinary man. Lindsay fights him and begs him to let her go but he ends up taking her to his castle.  While in the castle Lindsay befriends Connor's brother Roderick and his wife Evelyn becoming friends with them, learning the ways of the berserker and how to accept the berserker as mates.  Lindsay fights Conner with his seduction and attempts eventually sleeping with him. Lindsay doesn't realize that she loves him until Connor receives a message from her betrothed and he must fight for her which he does going to Mackays's castle to fight for her.  Lindsay stops him from murdering everyone by declaring herself to him and being his mate.I would have liked to learn a little bit more about the berserker it was a  little difficult for me to imagine him in my mind's eye except for the descriptions about his eyes.  That is why I rated the book 4 stars.  It was a good tale though and I really adored the angle of using the beauty and the beast since it is one of my favorite fairy tales.  I will however read another book by Ms. Kerrigan Byrne.
