"Unwilling" is a paranormal romance set in Scotland in the 1400's.  Connor is a berserker, a man who turns murderous when overcome with supernatural strength and speed.Lord Rory McKay tasks Connor with killing Rory's brother, Angus, who has been murdering and terrorizing Scottish civilians.  Connor's berserker ambushes twenty of Angus's men and kills them  all, but Angus is not among them.  Instead, he finds Lindsay, the young woman betrothed to Angus, and the berserker claims her for his mate.Some of the sex scene descriptions were too flowery for me, like "a wet rush of pure white fire."  But these few moments were not enough to detract from an otherwise well-written story.  Lindsay is a typical spunky heroine, and while the berserker has determined that Lindsay will be his mate, Connor is not quite so thrilled (at least, initially) to be saddled with this feisty woman.The romance was sweet, the sex was very hot, and the story was thoroughly enjoyable.  I want to read more from this author.  I will be snapping upUnspoken (Highland Historical #1), the first novella in this series and the story of Connor's brother, Roderick.  Roderick was featured prominently in Unwilling, and he's more the type of romance hero I prefer: more light-hearted and fun-loving than tortured and stoic.
