I received an eARC for my honest opinion.

This was my first Heather McCollum book, and it will not be my last one. I loved this author’s writing style. It was engaging historical romance, with a lot of action, romance, betrayal, and secrets. I thought the author wrote an excellent historical romance, she made it so I could picture everything that was happening and nothing seemed off to me when reading it.

This starts with two clans that have been in raging wars for years, they have come up with a plan to marry their oldest to each other. Rory is the second child to the MacLeod clan, and he has been back from being a captive in the war with England, he was there with 4 other clan members and one of them being Sara’s other brother. The 4 men escape from the prison and try to make it back to normal day clan life but it's not easy with Rory’s brother being married to a MacDonald. One day on the beach Sara and Rory run into each other not knowing who each of them is until later that day at the wedding. Of course, the wedding is a wreck, and someone is trying to murder a whole clan. Can Rory and Sara make it past all the bloodshed, the betrayals, and come out on the other side?

This book was action packed and the way that the author wrote the scenes had me loving every moment of it. I loved the twists and turns that the story took with the betrayal and the lies, I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was the real person that was feeding all the information to the other clan if it wasn’t Sara. I liked how the author made it come out and how she made sure that Rory was the one that saved Sara this time… You know when you read the book what I am talking about.

The characters were well developed. I liked the character growth of both Sara and Rory but even the side characters that came around to liking Sara even though who her father was. I liked the fact that Sara was a strong character, but you can see that she still has flaws, which made her more human to me. I found her attitude for knowing the truth to be refreshing and exciting to watch her trying to figure out all the issues.

Rory was a typical highlander but at the same time he wasn’t. He wanted to heal from the wars and learn to join the clans of Scotland together because he knew that one day there would be a war against them and that they would all need to be together. I was a little mad at him when he would think the worst about Sara, but I could understand because of his past but at the same time I wanted to shake him, and say come on this is someone totally new lol. Overall, I really liked these characters and the side characters in this book, and I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

I want to thank NetGalley and Entangled publishing for the opportunity to review this book
