Started out strong but lost me about halfway. Wish the Berserker and Cade where one and the same, not separate

This is a fun and very steamy read that I readily devoured in one sitting. It's novella length but still managed to pack in plenty of story.
I adored Chloe, she was ever the pragmatist with reactions that felt totally believable. Cade the man would normally have been too sweet for my tastes, but he was the perfect balance to Cade the Berserker. The diametric contrast of those two extremes of personality provided a wonderful foil against which the emotional turbulence of the story shone. It isn't easy to convey a believable depth of feeling in a shorter read, but the author did an amazing job of it here.
The story held my attention from start to finish and overall I really enjoyed it. The ending felt rushed though. The conflict barely started, and definitely not examined in any depth, was over in the blink of an eye and I didn't find myself convinced by Chloe's feelings. However it did lead to a very satisfying conclusion to the story.
The world building, whilst not complex, was sufficient to both add depth to the story and to leave the reader able to understand the setting.

Kitty Thomas you never cease to amaze me with your stories and your sensational way of grabbing the reader from the start of your story until the end!
This Berserker story captured me from the first page at 30,000 feet, needing to see what happened to these characters. Did the Berserker finally capture his mate? Did Cade finally figure out his role in this epic tale?
Spectacular book!

First of all can we agree that this book cover is pure hotness. This is Kitty Thomas second male book cover and I’m loving it.
Now the story, I couldn’t put it down, Kitty’s word and imagination are mesmerizing and captivating. It’s a must read if you’re new to her writing or a die-hard fan

It’s been a while since I read a paranormal romance and the Berserker completely grabbed me from the start. While this was a short and quick read, Kitty Thomas did an amazing job of giving the right amount of background information and well defined characters that are woven into a plotline that never slows down. It’s a whirlwind of a read that leaves you completely satisfied in the end in more ways than one.
Cade and Chloe meet on an airplane on their way to Paris. She immediately knows something is wrong when she hears a man yelling in Norse, a dead language. Cade has a Berserker inside of him, and she is the only hope of containing the chaos contained within him. With one touch, she calms his rage, but in return he marks her as his. Once they land, she goes on the run to evade him and hopefully escape the consequences of their interaction.
This story may be a novella but it is not short on steam or angst. The dynamic between the three characters (yes you’ll have to read to figure out what I mean by that) is engaging, the steam is HOT, and this story will leave you wanting more from this amazing universe.

Short and great
This is a great short story that's captivating and entertaining. Chloe meets Cade when she chooses to ignore sound advice and gets more than she bargained for... the story has some darker themes so read the warnings.
