Unwanted is a combination medieval romance with a touch of the supernatural, in the case of the hero who is a Berserker. This is the third book in the Highland Historical series, but I wasn't lost by not reading the first two books. Finn is pretty much a loner who is sent on a mission to assassinate who he believes is his enemy. In the cold winter, he finds a newborn left out in the woods to die. He goes to Rhona, who can barely makes ends meet as a type of midwife who breastfeeds newborn babies of the village she's in. Rhona has had a harsh life. Her husband died and then her baby. She was also gang raped and left for dead. She's close to sell her body for firewood when Finn comes to her with the baby. They connect and Finn wants one night with Rhona. He's willing to pay her for her body and Rhona makes the decision to accept Finn.Finn has only slept with whores and never had the love of a woman. He also can't kiss a woman because if he does, he may mate with her per his species. Rhona expects Finn to use her body for his own, but he gives her pleasure, great pleasure she has never experienced. The night together becomes more and Finn wants to keep Rhona and protect her. But then the lady of the manor needs her help with her pregnancy and Finn finds out the mission he was sent on means his own death. But Finn is in for a shock because the men he was sent out to kill are connected to him in more ways than one.Unwanted wasn't that bad of a story. I was really impressed. It was well written and the first love scene between Finn and Rhona is hot, especially when Finn literally gets on his knees and worships Rhona is a special way with his tongue and mouth, if you get my drift. I think this one would have benefited if it was a more full length story because the action is very sudden and the ending too abrupt and a bit stilted. Also the sudden admittance of love made me rolls my eyes, but when it comes to mates and finding THE ONE as Finn experiences, it makes sense in a way.If you're looking for a read that has that medieval tone to it with a touch of magic, set during the winter holiday, you'll want to check out Unwanted and the first two books, Unspoken and Unwilling, both at $2.99.Katiebabs
