I fell in love the Kerrigan Byrne's Berserkers Highlander Series last year after getting one of the books free on Amazon. I have been hooked since then.  Every time I read the latest novella, I think to myself, this one is my favorite one and there is no way Ms. Byrne can top this story.I'm here to tell you that I am wrong.  This one is my favorite one!! *grinning*  Once again, Kerrigan Byrne has given her readers a solid complete story in a wonderfully written novella.  Reluctant can be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend reading the first two novellas for a richer understanding of the story.  Now you can get the 3 book set for one low price... of $5.99Reclaimed Highland Historical Banshees ebookIn Reluctant, we read about last MacKay sister's adventure.  Kamdym, along with her sister had met with a violent death and all had made a deal with the Fae Queen to become Banshee's.  They had one year to have their revenge before their souls belonged to the Fae forever.Both Kamdyn's sisters have met their mates and their contact with the Fae has been fulfilled, partly because Kamdyn has pledged her services as Handmaiden to the Queen of Fae. Now, many years later, the Queen calls upon Kamdyn skill as a Banshee to kill someone.  Sweet and innocent Kamdyn has never taken a life and the thought of doing so bothers her, but out of loyal to the Queen, she accepts the task.Her assignment .... Kill the Laird of Shadow, whose band of merry men have been pillaging and raiding the highlands.  No one knows his name and he has eluted captive.Finding the Laird of the Shadow isn't a problem for Kamdyn and when she enters his tent, she is shock to find a huge, incredible gorgeous, fully naked man standing there.  She is instantly attracted and this is where the story takes off.  The moment The Warlord lays eyes on the beautiful  tiny women set to kill him he can't resist her.The scene in the tent when these two astonishing characters meet is to die for!  The words explosive off the page and suck you in. To see this brute of a male fall and submit himself to this tiny wee of a lass while still retaining his dominance, was so refreshing.  When Kamdyn and her Berserker finally surrender to each other, its smoken HOT.Watching Kamdyn, grow in her self-confidence, developing into a strong and very independent woman made her even more endearing then when she submitted in the service of the Queen to save her sister.  These two characters drew the best out of each other, both wanting to become a better person for the other.The speech the Warlord gives on what is love had me weak at the knees and almost in tears.  He is willing to die so that Kamdyn can complete her charge from the Fae Queen.As always, Kerrigan weaved a story what left readers wondering how these two lovers could overcome the colossal obstacles in their path to be together.  I LOVE a happy conclusion and once again, I wasn't disappointed with the way the story wrapped up.Kerrigan Byrne has cemented herself in my book and one of my favorite authors and I look forward to her future books, whether they are more Highland Berserkers or any other genre she should choose to write.
