. I honestly can say I'm on love with his beast, Such reverence I felt chills along with Morgana, I loved her no nonsense attitude but I guess you have to be strong to tame the beast along with the man,.stars

I am currently overdosing on Byrne and enjoying it immensely, Her writing is great but my complaint is that these are novellas,

I keep wishing they were longer because I LOVED her full length Highwayman! I loved this book!! It was powerful, tender, magical, and left me breathless!!
Bael, a Viking Berserker, and Morgana, an Autumn Druid with a power of the water element, are an unlikely couple.
But, she see's a gentler side to him, He wants to die and be free of the fighting and bloodshed with the Saxons, Can Morgana save him from himself Together, can they fight the evil that threatens the world
If History class in high school had been this interesting and exhilarating, I would've paid more attention to the Saxon time period!!
Two thumbs up for this latest story from Ms Bryne : He needs her powers

Bael Bloodborn will go down in history as the lone Viking berserker who held Stamford Bridge against the Saxons, killing hundreds with his own ax.
Mortally wounded, hes carried downriver to a witch who has the power to heal not just his body, but awaken wicked desires hed thought long dead, First, hell have to forgive her for binding her to him against his will with a kiss that would not only change the course of their destiny, but that of the entire world.

A dark evil threatens her home, and she must gain back Baels broken trust if she is to make it in time, Morgana is left with no choice but to strike a deadly bargain with the dangerous warrior, and risk all to unleash the beast from within the man without losing her heart, or her life.


Join the de Moray Druids as they each find a love that will be worth defying the forces of evil and risking their souls to save our world.
First novella in the third Highland Magic trilogy, this set features the Druids of Moray, Berserkers are also back, bringing bloodlust and the regular kind of lust, Kerrigan Byrne is on point with the historical framework and the lush, descriptive writing, This story has great depth and detail for a novella length work,.stars. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a good job, I enjoyed the short story and the characters, Bael Bloodborne, a Viking Beserker, mortally wounded, Princess Morgana de Moray is a captive of the Saxon, but more importantly she is on a mission to help stop an apocalyptic event, Morgana sees Bael on the battlefield and knows he can help her in her mission, Bael falls in battle, but Morgana is a powerful Druid, who bring him back to life,
Bael's beserker claims Morgana before she can protest,
That's all I am going to say, . . read this incredible story to find out what happens, My only complaint is that the story wasn't longer,
Derek Perkins narrates this story, He is great narrator. Novella or not . you must read! Kerrigan Byrne had done it again with Insolent! You've got a water Druid that's locked in a battle against three 'witches' trying to bring about the apocalypse and a berserker, a man that transforms into a beast that's only satisfied by bloodletting, put them together and you've got a story! The druid tames the beast first and eventually the man follows.
. . but the story is in the process of the taming!!! The scenery is awesome as is the interaction between the characters!

Loved it! A must read! I finished within a few hours and can't wait for the next installment! Kerrigan Byrne has become one of my favorite authors.
Every novel she writes is better than the last! She never disappoints! I could not put this one down! I will definitely be rereading this one soon!

However, I have one complaint.
. I read them too quickly, lol! wow it was amazing, I never expected enjoy this much, short story gives you enjoyment of a full book,
I shot I will give it a go and move on now all I can think about is getting the next one and then the next one and the next one and until I am done with the whole series.
review is from: Insolent: The Moray DruidsHighland Historical Kindle Edition
Bael is one of the fiercest Beserkers known, Now his Jarl determined sends Bael to stand against the Saxons with his thirsty ax, to take the bridge and win him the day, Bael knows that this is a battle he can't win, Which fills him with a fierce joy to finally win the death that will release him from this world, A world where he has known loneliness that he will not acknowledge, where he thought to find love only to be betrayed,

Morgana one of the remaining Druids left escapes the Saxons holding her prisoner slips her bonds and makes for the highlands, At the sound of battle she pauses to see a man like no other, Larger than any she has ever seen swinging an ax like a toy, The death he delivers is unimaginable, She cannot turn away.

As a death blow is stuck Bael falls to the river below ,as he falls he thinks finally release, . . Morgana cannot understand why she feels such devastation to see this unknown warrior fall, But today she will use her power of water to bring him to her, And with his life slipping away she does the only thing she can, send her healing through a kiss, A kiss that will change everything more than she can begin to imagine,

Now bound together they make their way north, Fighting the pull that neither will give in easily, But nothing worthwhile is easy, My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book, . . for more, visit sitelinkPunya s, . .

Ive always enjoyed Kerrigan Byrnes Highlander Historical novellas, So it was no surprise that I was elated to find another installment in the series, with another new subseries too, sitelinkInsolent is bookin The Moray Druids series, with a bunch of new characters that I dont recall from the previous installments, To top it off, our sexy hero Bael was a berserker, YaY me!!

When we meet Bael right at the start, he was preparing for his own death, Nope, he wasnt going to the gallows with a death sentence, It was more of a suicide, You see, Bael, a Norseman with a little Persian blood in him has lived long enough for it to stop, Though its meant to be a blessing from Goddess Freyya, and an honor to be one of her warriors, its nothing but bloodshed and pain for a berserker.
Bael can validate that fact, His father was a King but his mother, a Persian woman, was a nameless prostitute who died birthing him, He had always been rejected by the people surrounding him for both his mixed blood and because he is a bastard, But it was when the woman he thought his mate finally rejected him, is when Bael lost all hope, He, in fact, began hating this nonstop living, promising himself never to be snared into the charms of a woman again, Needless to say, he has no interest of finding another mate,

Its been long since those days and Bael wants it all to end, which is why when hes brought to a bloody battle to fight the Saxons on his own, Bael is overjoyed.
Maybe finally hell have some peace,

But that wasnt going to happen because Morgana de Moray, a powerful Druid princess with a high and noble ancestry, was there, Morgana was taken by the marauding Norse soldiers, She was trying to get back to their castle, where her brother, Malcolm reigns as the King, As Morgana finds a way to free herself and seek the nearest stream to use her magic that is based on the element of water, shes entranced by a vision of a big, hulking warrior fighting on the bridge.
. . to his death. Except, it was no vision, Soon, at her command, the river now

red with the blood of the fallen, brings the warrior to her, Morgana is going to revive him in hopes that hed help her cross this battlefield to reach her people, Theres a bigger trouble brewing, with her cousin Kenna missing, Morgana have to help Malcolm fighting the evil Wyrd Sisters and save a magical and highly powerful tome that, if acquired by the said Sisters, can mean the end of the world!

Now, Bael is anything but happy being revived.
When he wakes to find a beauty bathing nearby, he thinks hes in the Eden meant for Freyyas fallen soldiers, LOL Lord, I knew there was fun ahead and I wasnt disappointed, In the process of healing, what happened was, Baels beast made Morgana his mate, Damn! Upon sensing this truth which will bind him to her as long as they both shall live Bael is now as grumpy as a bear! What trickery is this! Yet he cant deny the attraction, especially for a man who has gone without a soft, female touch for a long, long time.
Add that to the fact that shes now his mate, Nooope, Bael is certainly not happy! To him, his worst nightmare has just come true,

But the palpable attraction couldnt have been denied even if they tried, In the midst of their constant wordexchange, snapping and snorting at eachother, Bael gives into Morganas charms, He can be a crabby guy to be sure but I was not annoyed about that, Morgana certainly wasnt when she finds out more about Baels past than she wouldve liked to, She knew shes more protected with him than without him, now shes certain that inside, this man craves not only her love but also her acceptance, And this fact, at last, brings them together,

When the trouble in the form of the Wyrd Sisters finds them, Morgana is forced to make a decision, She has to take Bael to her clan, and introduce to Malcolm, who just might kill him for being a Norseman and a berserker! Even though a promise of death was what initially made Bael accede to Morganas pleas of help, things have already changed as we find in the later parts of the story.
Morgana has no intention of losing him, she only has to make this big oaf to realize that truth,

sitelinkInsolent was as sweet and sexy as any of Kerrigans earlier releases, especially the conveying emotions between Bael and Morgana when he understood that he was accepted by her no matter what.
Marvelous! Theres a reason why I love berserker heroes its their absolute devotion to their mates, Even though in the beginning, Bael was a bit of a trouble, he was no exception,

I dont know whose book is titled “Indecent”, I hadnt read the excerpt, But Im willing to be surprised and find out whats next in this new series, Would it be Malcolms or Kennas I know we havent heard the last of the Wyrd Sisters yet, . . so, theres plenty left to explore,stars. The Moray Druidsis a quick short read but full of heart stopping moments, suspense and mind blowing sex!!!!
This story takes place in the time of the Druids,

Morgana, Druid Princess, is determined to save her land, family and the world,

Bael, a Berserker, is done with his life, he has been used, and feels he has never been loved or accepted,
Morgana however, needs him to help her get home and completely messes up his plans of finally find peace in death, .

When Bael, realizes Morgana needs him, he just shuts down unwilling to be used any longer, His Berserker, however, has taken Morgana's side and where things really start getting interesting,

I'm embarrassed to admit, but this is the first book I have read by Kerrigan Bryne, I am VERY impressed and loved every second of this book, I am so glad to have met her through facebook, and had the chance to read her work, I cant wait to download all her other books, and get to reading!!!!,
