I had such a fantastic time reading The Highlander's Untamed Tempest! It's the second book by Heather McCollum I read and absolutely cements me as a fan. 4.5✨

I'm such a sucker for highlander romances, it's become my favorite sub-genre of historical romances, and this one is definitely on my list of top favorites.

The plot was engaging, the action nerve-wracking, the tension sublime, the cat heroic (!!!), and the chemistry between our leads exquisite.

I loved how it wasn't insta-love, but it was insta-lust. There is immediate attraction between Eagen and Tessa, and it doesn't take long for it to fully ignite. My sole quibble is due to the intense action that takes root in the plot, thus becoming a thrilling plot point, I didn't feel there was enough romancing. Lots of physical loving, but not as much emotionally. Nevertheless, the intimacy between Eagen and Tessa was beautiful and I wholly rooted for them!

Also, one more shout out to the cat! The cat was such a star, such a little hero! You'll see!

If you enjoy highlander historical romances, that bring a touch of magic, alluring mystery, and exhilarating action this one is definitely calling for you!
