I started this one this morning, with the intent to just get a quick sneak peek into the narrative before setting it to the side to continue my other reads. Instead, I could not put this one down the second I started. Spent the entire day reading and obsessing over it. Absolutely and thoroughly loved this one so much.

Wow.

I just love it when a book sneaks up on you and takes you for a ride you won't be forgetting any time soon.

Sara was the best heroine! So sincere, kind, strong-willed, and so filled with resolve. She never backed down from her convictions, even when others tried to enshroud her in doubt. She stayed true to her word and actions. I love her strength and determination-- and her warm, caring heart.

Rory was a wonderful hero-- albeit one who needed to sense knocked into him a few times, but hey, he gave us some terrific angst when doubt did creep into him mind about Sara. And regardless of doubt, something I loooved was seeing how protective and loving he always was towards Sara.

Then we have romance-- oh the sweet, glorious romance. It had the makings of everything great! Sweetness, spiciness, angsty-ness, and triumph. The journey to this romance was both memorable and worthwhile.

I only have two very minor nitpicks. One was I was not wholly satisfied with how the love confession played out; and secondly, I'm not a very big fan of epilogues that spend more time on setting up the next story rather than allowing me one last look at the romance within this story.

Just minor nitpicks that did not veer me away from course whatsoever. Because this was a heck of a ride! I loved every single bit of it.

Thank you Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for this arc, I leave this honest review voluntarily.

This is my first ever highlander romance book and I am hooked! The Highlander's Wild Flame features a sweet and strong female main character, and a mysterious, intimidating but kind, "I'll never marry" main male character. Sara and Rory have a spark from the moment they meet. This spark is never damped, even though she is his brother's betrothed. When the marriage falls through they try to deny their feelings for one another but are unsuccessful. They end up sheltering from a storm and taking advantage of the classic one bed trope. Their romance is forbidden as they are from warring clans. The book ends with a happily ever after that is well deserved by both. I will certainly be reading more books by Heather McCollum.

This is a story about a guy that was betrayed by a woman and doesn’t want to repeat the mistake. I enjoyed this story. I really liked the heroine And how she didn’t give up. I wish the hero had more faith in her... But he had trust issues.. There was plenty of Steam and mystery.
I received an arc of this book. Comments are my own

What a ride! Lots of things happening, great main characters, emotional love story. Really made me want to keep turning pages. I love when everything comes together at the end, the payoff was really satisfying.

This is a great historical fiction, especially if you like strong, fierce highlanders.
The characters were all well developed , the plot moved very quickly and had some twists and turns that kept me reading to see what happened next. The storyline had friendship, betrayal, loyalties, and a fun dog named Gus. Overall a great read.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is quite the wild ride. From the very start, you just know that things will be sticky. Secrets. Lies. Betrayal. Hate. Family who would sooner abandon than save. And in the middle of it all? Sara. She’s strong and smart and stubborn and just wishing she could belong. Is Rory the man who could be her home, or is he just one more person to use and discard her?

Rory has his own old hurts to get past. And he’s having a truly hard time doing that when Sara is everything he wants. But family loyalty is everything, isn’t it? Don’t get me wrong. For many, it is. But Rory has a few things to work out before he can see clearly. And he’s got a heart that beats for the one woman he’s certain he shouldn’t want at all.

These two have quite the struggle to happiness, but Sara is strong. Rory is unafraid to bare his soul when needed. And they have a love that truly deserves all the goodness it can find. Not only that, there are a few other men who need some goodness to shine their way, so I look forward to the next man falling for a woman he thinks is all wrong for him!

The plot in this book really pulled me in and I just had to read it until I finished. Rory and Sara's characters really brought out bravery and learning that things can be different than the old ways of their feuding clans.

Sara's father was so wicked that he used her to try to marry Jamie of rival clan, but then tried to burn them all alive during the ceremony. Rory of course was the kind brother that stood up for her even though he had a few doubts along the way that she was maybe to blame.

The variety in this book was great between the romance, a bit of a murder mystery, a "magical" fairy flag, and the threat of war. Some parts made me shiver a bit too, especially the "pit" which was a dungeon of sorts where the water would come in.

I am excited for the next book for Sara's favorite brother. I hope we get to see more of Rory and Sara too!

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

Heather McCollum is excellent at weaving a great story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Not only is this book a love story, it's also an in-depth intriguing look at the clans on the Isle of Skye and their history of war and peace. Rory and Sara were attracted to each other from the moment they met, but they had to overcome all the obstacles their clans and families put in their way. Will true love win out in the end? It's definitely worth the read to find out.

Heather never disappoints and while historical romances aren’t my usual genre I always make an exception for her books cause they’re always so good. Entangled, you got yourself a good bunch of authors.

Sara and Rory were absolute gems. Sara is such a badass and the definition of a strong woman. Rory is just a dumbass who needed some sense knocked into him. I didn’t like how easily he let his clan sway him into abandoning Sara, despite him saying how much he cared for Sara. Also wanted him to grovel more but that’s just me lol.

The Highlander's Wild Flame
The Brotherhood of Solway Moss

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rory, The Lion of Sky, has been hurt bad enough by a woman that he will not let his guard down again. He swore an oath to his father and brother many years ago and he has honored it so far. But now that oath will be tested.

Saraphina, The Flame of Dunscaith, is supposed to marry the chief of Clan MacLeod and bring peace to both clans, but not all is as it seems and she goes from marriage to rescuer in the span of minutes.

Heather McCulloum does it again. This author never disappoints. I have to say this has been one of the best books that I have ever read. I ran through the gambit of emotions reading this book. I laughed, I yelled, and I cheered. That's how wonderful this book was. This book had some amazing sex scenes that literally gave me those tiny little goosebumps that I love so much. The characters were top notch and I adored John and Simon so very much. Those two old men helped make this book what it is. They had me in tears with their antics. This book has all the feels and everything you could ever want in a book. There's deceit, confusion, turmoil, and a wonderful HEA that will have you shivering from happiness. A book doesn't get better than this. Ms. McCullom your books just keep getting better and better.

The Highlander's Wild Flame by Heather McCollum is a perfect book for a enemy turn to lover romance.

✅ Arranged marriage
✅ Enemy to lover
✅ Betrayal
✅ Action
✅ Suspense
✅ High sexual tension
✅ Plenty of Spicy scenes: intense and explicit

I'll definitely be waiting for the next book by Heather McCollum.

I fell in love with The Highlander’s Wild Flame from the first beginning. It was love at first sight for Sara MacDonald and RoryMacleod. She was promised to his brother in order bring peace between the clans.
There are twists and turns from the beginning that keep you wanting to keep reading this story. I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you to Heather McCollum, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for allowing me to read this novel.

I'm already a fan of McCollum's other books and this novel did not disappoint. This novel was a fast read full of adventure, betrayal, and love. Rory and Sara were interesting and likable MC's and the sexual tension was perfect. This swoon-worthy historical romance is a perfect escape for a weekend/ beach read. I'm excited to read the other novels in this series.

Thank you so much for letting me read this.

Thank you to Heather McCollum, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for this wonderful love story.

I love romance novels and historical fiction, so a combination of the two is a big plus for me. A Scottish hunk is a big, big plus.

Rory and Sara's story was engaging and I read this book in one sitting. It kept me spellbound from start to finish. It was a great escape.

The book is a perfect vacation / weekend/ beach / vacation read!

Highly recommend.

I go through phases where I prefer contemporary over historical or vice versa, and it had been a while since I'd read one of the latter. The Highlander's Wild Flame was a great book to bring me back to the fold. Of course, of historical romance, anything with a Scot already has an advantage.

This book is the start of a new series by an author I almost always enjoy. The hero, Rory, survived a year and a half imprisoned in England with three other Scots, all four of them men from warring clans. But brutish treatment has a way of forming lasting bonds, and it's clear their lives will forever intersect. In fact, the heroine here is the beloved sister of fellow captive Kenon.

The plot is not completely new, vaguely Romeo and Julietish, with Sara and Rory falling for each other in the midst of conflict. There's also the expected evil relatives, a scorned woman, traitors, and clansfolk both loyal and judge. Can Sara and Rory's budding relationship survive? I mean, it's a romance novel, so...

I did think Sara goes from maiden to lover with unrealistic ease, and I think more information about what her home life had been like could have helped. I would have also liked there to have been more examples of Sara breaking expectations; she seems a little passive at times in spite of her spark. As for Rory, he too could use more fleshing out with regard to his youth.

The story comes close to jumping the shark with the Fairy Flag and various phoenix references and even closer towards the final clan conflict, but it won't bother most readers. For me, it was the tiniest bit unconvincing, almost as if the author couldn't think of a more realistic resolution.

But it's a good read overall, and I recommend it.

I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher and Netgalley. I'm writing this review voluntarily, and it reflects my honest opinion. Thanks!

As soon as I started reading Rory and Sara's story, I knew it would be amazing! I must say this is Heather McCollum's best work yet and that's saying a lot since I've loved all of her books. Between the passion, the humour, the danger and with Scotland as the backdrop, it's an awesome read and one that will leave you not wanting to put the book down once you start reading it. 

With wars raging between the clans, betrothals are formed to try to bring peace but some of the clan chiefs are not willing to let go of the hatred. With Rory and Sara finding themselves in the middle of it all, not knowing who to trust and yet feeling a mutual attraction, life not only becomes complicated but very dangerous as well. One must not forget the Fairy Flag, the rising Phoenix and the wings to fly....believe me, these all have an important part in the story.

As an aside, I must mention Simon and John....those two with their commentaries were so entertaining and I could just picture them, making me giggle every time!! All in all, a well written story that I can see myself reading over and over again.

I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Abandoned by their clans while being held prisoner by the English, four warriors (Rory, Kenan, Asher, and Cyrus) form a bond that’s thicker than blood. But getting back to Scotland isn’t the end of their trouble, especially since their clans have been feuding for generations. Can they bring peace to their island home and clans?

The Highlander’s Wild Flame follows Rory and Sara (Kenan’s sister), and is a great start to the series! When Sara is forced to marry to create peace between the clans, her groom is Rory’s brother. Through a story full of twists and turns, lies and betrayal, feuds and fighting, surprise family and a fairy flag, Rory and Sara will find their way to one another. (There is no cheating in this book.)

Another unputdownable read by Heather McCollum!

I went into reading "The Highlander's Wild Flame" with pretty high expectations and they were definitely met. I read this entire book cover to cover in an evening and when it was over I wanted more. I am so glad this is the beginning of a new series.

I'm no stranger to this author, she consistently puts out swoon-worthy Historical Romances that are packed with loveable characters, action, tension and incredible chemistry. I loved reading Rory and Sara's story. I'm not sure if I could pick a favorite couple from her books but I know these two would definitely be strong contenders.

I would definitely recommend checking adding this one to your TBR!

Thank you Heather McCollum, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

5 Stars! I’m in love with this new series ‘The Brotherhood of Solway Moss’! I finished this book in less than 2 days, I seriously couldn’t put it down! This is book one in the series and it is truly a fantastic read! Heather McCollum is one of my absolute favorite authors and she doesn’t disappoint with this one, she never does! I love how I learn true history while reading a fictional romance. I had never even heard of Solway Moss before reading this book but I truly love learning about Scottish history in an entertaining, historical romance. The main characters are Sara and Rory. I loved them both throughout this book and was rooting for their HEA ending, which I loved, even if I think I would’ve kept my forgiveness to myself for a little while longer than the main character did. I laughed, I cried, I got goosebumps, I was surprised & I didn’t want the book to end. That’s probably the only negative I can think of about this book, that it ended. Some hot ‘sexy times’, past secrets, shocking actions, war, peace, a stolen fairy flag, mistrust, evil doers, fighting with fellow countrymen, an HEA ending, and so much more. 100% recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!
