Ok I have to admit even I didn't see that ending coming, for once. Bot that was well done and Connall/Byrson and Claray were great together. Dying for the next book.
Full review coming soon to the blog.

Thank you NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyager for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
3.5/5 stars
I enjoyed this highland romance. Claray and Conall were a sweet couple. They instantly hit it off but their love wasn’t too instant. I also liked seeing previous characters from other books in the story!
The plot had some twists I didn’t see coming. I wasn’t entirely sure who was trying to harm Claray or Conall. And the author did a good job keeping it hidden.
I do wish they had a few more conversations before the romantic water excursion. I felt like they didn’t have much of a relationship but she was ready to give it all to him. Which didn’t fit her shy demeanor.
I also got a little annoyed at how much she slept. It felt like she slept most of the book. Which I understand that is part of the journey/traveling but she didn’t have any sore muscles from it. It would have been a fun scene to have Conall rub Claray’s shoulders to help the soreness.
Overall enjoyed their story and how their relationship evolved. It was a sweet story and I enjoyed that the plot didn’t affect their relationship. It was cool to read about the castle and them fixing it. I also enjoyed all the sweet animals she saved!

I'll be honest, if this isn't the last book in this series it might be the last one I read. I really liked these to start, but as the series stretches on I'm finding them less and less engaging. This is definitely another one that I wanted to like more than I did unfortunately.

A heroine too improbable to actually exist. Like, she's Cinderella who can gather wolves, stoats, horses, foxes, rabbits, cows, deer, and more to her simply by walking through the woods--and somehow they all just get along. (Seriously. If you are looking for a book with a stoat riding a Game of Thrones dire wolf, this one's for you.)
A hero whose main defining feature is that, besides being handsome, he tolerates and feeds her animal collection so they don't die after she repeatedly forgets about them after rescuing them. Oh, and that he's randy enough that he thinks it's a good idea to bring her to orgasm with his hand while they are riding a horse, surrounded by soldiers...while she is holding an injured fox and a stoat. (Sidenote: this is the moment when I began to suspect that this whole series, and this book in particular, is an elaborate prank on readers.)
This has to be my last book of this series, even if it continues--and honestly, I've read way too many already. Like the others, this features a bizarre and unpredictable plot that manages to be boring as well. As usual, the heroine is imperiled and the hero continually makes stupid choices. There are crazy women, priests making women fearful of sex, and Scottish clans doing clan things (mostly riding horses from keep to keep).
If you love this series, then you will probably like this. If you are indifferent to the series (maybe, like me, you've read it out of habit), just skip this one. If you are new to the series, pick an earlier one featuring the Buchanan brothers and leave it at that.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley for an honest review.

Scottish historical romance.
A highlander named Wolf.
A plaid clad warrior out to rescue his betrothed after 12 year apart.
A whimsical maiden who love of animals, especially her horse and protective wolf.
This novel is an Incredibly entertaining love story! And, I did the audio which was read to me in a Scottish accent.
