These covers are cracking me up. Fabio in a kilt or just naked in water. And we are back to arrows through the chest. Oh this twist got kinda dark. Glad the little Disney princess had all her animals to help her.

This had all the usual pieces of books from this series, but they all seemed like the watered-down version. Maybe because we’re now 10 books deep into this series?
I was just bored throughout the book. It was overly cheesy and the action (both the suspense and the romance) was boring. And I missed all the brothers!
I don’t think I’ll continue with the series if she writes more.

I made it to 48% & decided that I wasn’t caring for the direction that this started to head in. I really enjoyed how this book began, it was really immersive with the language and taking place in Scotland. I instantly fell in love with the FMC, Claray. I thought that she was extremely likeable/cute, her quirks and affinity to always find a wounded animal really put a smile on my face.
The things that just didn’t work for me personally was that I felt zero connection to the MMC. I have not read any of the prior books, so what I have to say may have no real weight here. But, in the beginning of the book I felt that there was a missed opportunity with a mystery that could have been drawn out. Again, I have not read any of the prior installments, so maybe this is just a mystery to me? And it very well could have been mentioned in previous books. But, I enjoy discovering out truths as I read, I don’t prefer for everything to be laid out in a book near the very beginning. I will usually mentally tap out of books when they info dump instead of allowing me to pick things up through the progression of the story. And I didn’t understand the Author’s intent with the MMC, there were a few too many times that I felt that the MMC did and said things that were so unlikeable for no apparent reason?
This book just went in a direction that wasn’t working for me. I skipped to the final chapter and have to say that I found it personally underwhelming. This book may very well work for others. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I absolutely love Lynsay Sands, but have I read this series? Absolutely not. Am I going to go out and get every single one? Yes.
You do not need to read the previous books in the series to read this one, though I am probably missing a lot of cameos/people that I may have known more background on.
Claray MacFarlane is saved before being forced by her uncle to marry someone she didn't know by The Wolf, a fearsome and deadly mercenary. But the Wolf isn't just her handsome hero, but her childhood betrothed that was thought to be killed. Hired by her father to rescue her, he cannot help the feelings that grow and must face what that means for their future.
There is a lot of drama and angst, mystery, a grumpy hero in a kilt that saves the sunshine damsel in distress, and some excellent spice. Conall, the Wolf, is patient and gentle which compliments Claray's selfless and naturally worried nature. Their chemistry is natural and flows well with the pace of the story. There were twists and turns and secrets (Conall keeping his true name and identity from Claray being one of the smallest of these) that kept the book intriguing and more than just a sexy Highlander romance novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for an advanced copy of Highland Wolf!

I was starting to get kinda bored before the last 1/5 or so, then it was wham-bam all done. Very fast finale. Glad I finally took the time to finish this after starting it at the end of 2022 🫣
