Review: The Highlander's Secret Avenger by Heather McCollum

 

Drostan Macquarie, the fierce battle-hardened Highlander, was still a young lad when his father first warned him of the ancient curse on the Macquarie clan. Should any of our kin sire a bastard, the entire clan will be cursed to die out. Drostan vowed then to live his life alone, far from the reach of the curse. But on the eve of Beltane, a sizzling kiss with a mysterious lass ignites Drostan’s blood…and threatens his vow.

Amelia MacLeod is on the run, desperate to escape her past, and an abusive family. But Wolf Isle isn’t just a place to hide, it may be her only hope of redemption—if she can doom her clan’s enemy, the Macquaries. Only, she imagined her enemy would be a hideous brute, not a big, brawny, and kind-hearted Highlander like Drostan.

Because now Amelia’s discovered a way to destroy the Macquarie Clan for good—if she can bring herself to infiltrate the clan, seduce Drostan, and bring about the Macquarie curse. Of course, she hasn’t accounted for the far-reaching consequences of her own dark past…or her traitorous desire for the Highlander she came to destroy.

My Review

The Highlander's Secret Avenger by Heather McCollum
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was over too soon! I enjoyed every moment Dorstand and Amelia spent together getting to know one another better. And of course every time he managed to rescue her.
I was so annoyed with Meg and Cecelia when they exposed her list after they'd grown so close and I never imagined it would come back to haunt her.

I'm looking forward to Eagan's book!

Having learned of the Macquarie curse at an early age Dorstan has vowed to live his life alone. While attending Beltane festivities at Aros Castle he meets a mysterious young woman who threatens that very vow.

Amelia MacLeod is running from her abusive family. She plans to make her way to Wolf Isle and bring down the Macquarie clan. Only the enemy isn't at all as brutish as she was led to believe.

What she wasn't counting on was falling for the kindhearted Highlander.

Thank you so much to the author and Entangled Publishing for this ARC to review.
