Release Week Review: The Highlander's Untamed Tempest (The Brothers of Wolf Isle #5) by Heather McCollum


A stranger walks among the Macquarie clan. But is she their destiny…or their doom? Don’t miss the alluring fifth Brothers of Wolf Isle book from USA Today bestselling author Heather McCollum

Eagan Macquarie doesn’t believe in love—nor does he want a wife. There is an entire world beyond Wolf Isle, and mo Dhia, he will seek it out. But the Macquarie curse will continue to haunt his family unless Eagan finds a suitable bride to break the hex once and for all. Now he must choose between a marriage he does not want or abandoning his family…until a comely stranger catches his eye.

Claudette Tempest Ainsworth—known as Tessa—is a learned French midwife who’s been waiting for her father to come fetch her from the harsh winds and sea of Scotland and return her to her beloved France. But with Eagan, she finds something unexpected: a flame of desire, hot and almost terrifying in its intensity. But even the brightest fires cannot sustain the inevitable distance that’s soon to follow…

Tessa seems to have bewitched them all. But when danger threatens Wolf Isle and the Macquaries, Eagan discovers that the love he never believed in might be his clan’s salvation…or its devastating downfall.

What I thought about The Highlander's Untamed Tempest

The Brothers of Wolf Isle series comes to a close with the story of the youngest, Eagan Macquarie who has the choice of either breaking the long standing curse against the family or bringing it to a happier conclusion.  This is a romance, so you know how it's going to go, but the fun is in the story and the characters, especially with this installment of the series.

Eagan is ready to leave his family when he meets Tessa, a young woman who some suspect as being a witch.  I don't want to give any more details, but the beginning of this story just pulled me in.  I've read a few in this series, and they work very well standalone, while also whetting the appetite for others in the series. 

There's plenty of steamy scenes here.  I liked that Tessa knew what she was doing in this area, and while they fall pretty hard pretty fast, I thought she was perfect for Eagan, especially since he had his life planned out until he meets Tessa and all those long term plans come into question.

What I love about this series including this book, and this author is that these stories are a perfect  escape into another time, they are fun and sweet, with just the right touch of danger and darkness to make it interesting.
