Surrender to an Irish Warrior is the story of Trahern MacEgan and Morren Ó Reilly who, during a completely unexpected and viciously brutal Viking raid, each lost something very dear to them. For Trahern, it was his beloved betrothed, and for Morren it was her innocence, when she was callously used for the raider’s pleasure that night. This is an emotional story, one that had my heart aching for the pain these two people endured, and at the same time, had me feeling such hope for them. They were...more

Read this one last summer. Loved it!! Totally loved it and re-read it again several times.
Everything worked for me. Strong character development, to-die-for hero, vulnerable but strong heroine, strong supporting cast, suspense that kept me wondering until the end, and plenty of steam! Yummy Trahern.
I really sympathized with both Trahern and Morren and wanted them to be happy. The heroine, especially, went through the worst kind of abuse. The author portrayed Morren's broken-ness admirably, but n...more

I love this book. There is so much emotion. Two people who have had some very bad experiences find one another. Trahern MacEgan feels the need to protect Morren O’Reilly and Morren badly needs to learn to trust again after some horrible experiences. As we are first introduced to these lovely individuals they are hanging by a thread to their shattered lives. The two come together and live through an extremely frightening experience. As the days progress both Trahern and Morren are trying hard to...more
Although this is the 5th book in the MacEgan brothers series, this is the first book I've read. I had no trouble following along and I didn't see any part of the story that was dependent upon reading the others.
The story starts with Trahern MacEgan, youngest brother, traveling in the cold bitter wind of Northern Ireland (late fall?) in search of the ones who killed his betrothed and her clan in a clandestine nighttime raid. Along the way he encounters a young girl on foot who leads him to a smal...more

This is probably the most emotionally intelligent MB romance novel I've read, let alone historical fiction one. The developing romance between Trahern and Morren inspite of the emotional damage they've both suffered was beautifully developed and woven throughout the story like a fine tapestry. The story-lines of both the main characters stood out and had me hooked from the start. I can't imagine the author had an easy time of tackling the difficult subjects she choose to deal with. Still she man...more
I love love love this book. Such detail, thought, and emotion. I only wish the story went on longer. Then again, I did forcefully plow through it in an about 24 hour time frame.
I loved how the characters were presented as wounded and strong, damaged but drawn to one another to heal and be healed.
I've read another of Willingham's books, not even realizing they were in a series. That's one of the many beauties... you can pick a book, any book, and enjoy it without having to have read the others...more

MacEgan Kardeşler serisinin altıncı kitabı MacEgan Olmak...
Seriyi geç de olsa bitirdim ve son bir kitabı kaldı o da henüz çevrilmedi ne yazık ki... Ama genel olarak MacEgan erkeklerinin kitapları bitti. Ve hepsine ayrı ayrı bayıldım.
Trahern'in hikayesini birazıcık Bevan'ın hikayesine benzettim. Aslında konu olarak benzerlik yoktu ama Bevan'da karısını kaybetmiş onun yasını tutarken başka bir kadına aşık oluyordu Trahern'de sevdiği evlenmek istediği kadını...more

Michelle Willingham'ın yazdığı MacEgan Olmak kitabı okundu bitti.... Ya niye bittin sen hemen? :'(
Mükemmeldi... Mükemmel, Mükemmel, Mükemmel.
Bu yazara bayılıyorum. Bu seriye bayılıyorum. Soluksuz, heyecanla, pür dikkat okuyorum. Ağlıyorum, gülüyorum. Asıl oğlana sinir olup, kıza saf gör artık diyorum. Bu yazara bayılıyorum ya bunun ötesi var mı ? :)):))
Aslında bu kitabı Temmuz'da Ayça Yılmaz'ım almış bana. Ama seri bitecek diye okumaya kıyamamıştım. Kitapta bir gün de okundu, bitti. Şimdi öyle k...more

The story is pretty average Harlequin Historical stuff. It’s, more or less, modern people running around a fantasy version of historical Ireland, circa some random Hollywood Medieval year. So, the plot: Morren’s village was attacked by a Viking clan. She was raped and left for dead. She’s now having a miscarriage in an abandoned cottage where Trahern, the hero, is trying to save her life. The only reason that Trahern is in this part of Ireland is because he has come to avenge his fiancée, who di...more
michelle'in macegan serisinin son kitabı, ailenin macegan olmayan üyesi
diğer kitaplarına göre daha duygusal geldi bana. Her iki kahramanının da duygusal olarak yaralı tipler olması, acılarının birbirlerine ilaç olması çok güzeldi... Ama trahern'in macegan olmadığını anladığımda çok şaşırdım, yazar daha önceki kitaplarda hiç ipucu vermemişti. Sonunda verilen mesaj (bence) güzeldi, aile demek sadece kan demek değildir, acı mutlak değildir, unutulmasa bile taşımak giderek kolay olur

Trahern and Morren’s story is by far my favourite of the MacEgan series. I loved them all but this one really pulled me in emotionally. I really feel that Michelle Willingham got the formula for their story perfectly.
I’ve now come to the end of the MacEgan series and am feeling at a bit of a loss. I wasn’t ready to leave this family just yet.

The development was uneven in this Willingham novel. She allowed her reader to not feel the tension building consistently in the piece. The ending was a bit rushed, which will happen when a publisher sets a word count for the novel. Despite this not being my favorite Willingham novel, I would continue to purchase her works.
I absolutely loved this book. Surrender to an Irish warrior is the first book I have read by Michelle Wellingham an definitely will not be the last. At the time I did not realize it was part of a series, therefore I will be going back and reading about the four other brothers. Yay! I love it when I find a good one.
Before you read this book be prepared for the very adult content dealing with miscarriage and rape. It's fairly graphic and if you have trouble with those topics you probably won't be comfortable with this book in the series.
That said, I applaude Willingham's effort to take on such difficult subjects. She did it with grace and confidence while not belittling the aftereffects of such traumas showed how the FMC was able to rise above them.

Will he be able to fight past his anger and blood lust to help Morren?

The author mentioned in the preface that this was a very hard book for her to write. In turn, I found it a very hard book to read. This isn't a "feel-good" read. I had to force myself to read some parts, in fact. That said, I thought it was a really emotionally empowering book and I was very satisfied with the ending.
Uzun uzadıya romanlardan sıkıldığınızda bence bu seriyi okuyabilirsiniz.Çok muhteşem değil belki ama ben keyifle okudum,yazarın kalemi iyi bence sıkmıyor sizi.
yazarin diger kitaplari gibi buda cok güzeldi, severek okugum bir seriydi...
Yeni serisini de merakla bekliyorum :)

I loved the way the hero and heroine helped to heal each other from their pain.
Not my favorite time in history, but still good.
Ayhh ayhh allam Trahern varya bir Ciara'n yüzünden kendimi boğucaktım. Ciara isminden nefret ettiğimi fark ettim ayrıca. Ama iyiydi yaaa. Hele sonu çok güzeldi :))
Miniseries: The MacEgan Brothers
A medieval romance where Trahern has lost a woman that he once loved. Morren has been raped and lost a baby. Morren and Trahern both have emotional issues to overcome. The story is a decent, quick read but the couple almost seems to get together due to their situation more than a grand passion.
