The Highlander’s Wild Flame by Heather McCollum: Review

It has been quite a while since I read a Highlander book but when one is on deck by McCollum, I have to read it. Her plot development and storytelling ability is off the charts!

Publishing this summer, this book is one where you will need to clear a day because this one you will be hard pressed to put down! Check out my thoughts and review below.

OVERVIEW:
Fearsome Highland warrior Rory MacLeod has sacrificed for his clan. But taken as prisoner―in place of his older brother, who’s meant to be laird―is more than any man should bear. So when the chance for escape presents itself, Rory risks everything for freedom. But instead of returning to the welcoming warmth of home, Rory steps into a blazing trap…

Despite her betrothal to their laird, Lady Sara Macdonald has no love for the MacLeod clan. But when her treacherous father locks the entire MacLeod wedding party into the church and sets fire to it, she cannot stand by and watch the slaughter. Saving them means turning traitor to her clan and becoming an enemy to her own blood…left to the mercy of her greatest enemy.

Now her intended husband lies somewhere between life and death, and Sara’s only ally is his younger brother: the fierce MacLeod warrior she’s forbidden to want. And as hunger blazes to life between Rory and Sara―unbidden, untamed, and hotter than the fires of Beltane―they quickly find themselves caught between honor and a love that will turn blood against blood.

The Highlander’s Wild Flame by Heather McCollum Review

One thing I love about McCollum’s stories is she does not hold back on anything. Just because her stories are in the 16th and 17th centuries doesn’t mean her characters are prim and proper. Quite the opposite actually.

The Highlander’s Wild Flame is the perfect title because it describes our female lead aptly. Strong, proud, and seemingly fearless, she is the perfect balance and perfect match for Rory, even if she is off-limits.

Rory is a natural leader, kind, and on fire for Sara. McCollum does not hold back with the fire and passion these two feel for each other. Together they must navigate a clan war that is growing harder to stop every day. Amazing descriptions that make you feel like you are on the front line watching!

The secondary characters are impactful with the intrigue, twists, and turns leaving us on edge. You don’t know who to trust and where the story will lead. This story is exciting, steamy, and one you will not forget! Definitely one you will need to read again!

5 STARS!!
