First book in new series.
Family curse unless love is found.
Married at first sight. Likeable primary characters. Family needs women to help replenish clan.
Quick enjoyable read.
Look forward to reading about Adam's brothers and Lark's sisters.

An engrossing read with dynamic characters, The Highlander’s Unexpected Proposal is a wonderful historical romance that follows Lark and Adam as they find love and learn the true meaning of home and family. When Lark’s father tries to marry her off to the highest bidder, Lark takes matters into her own hands and asks Adam to marry her. Desperate to get away from her drunk father, she sees a future with the strong, serious clan leader.

Adam is drawn to the beautiful Lark and is sickened by the thought of her married to another man. So when she begs him to marry her, he quickly agrees. He should have told her the truth about Wolf Isle, but how do you tell your wife about a long-time curse?

The marriage between Lark and Adam is unconventional, and both have secrets that they are afraid to reveal for fear of rejection. Adam doesn’t tell Lark the truth about Wolf Isle until they arrive there, and Lark withholds information about her parents and past abuses. They both have so much to hide, but they also have so much to gain. They just have to learn to trust each other. They are strong and independent, but both are also vulnerable. I loved watching Lark and Adam grow closer and learn more about each other. They have a lot of chemistry, and they complement each other well.

Other characters in the story are interesting as well, and I’m hoping they will be further developed in future books. We are introduced to Adam’s brothers, Lark’s sisters, and many of Adam’s friends and allies. They are dynamic and interesting characters who influence Lark and Adam’s budding relationship. Adam’s brothers are so different, and yet they are united in their loyalty to each other and their quest to bring Wolf Isle back to it’s former, pre-curse glory. I can’t wait to read each of their stories!

This is a great story for readers who enjoy historical romance with great characters, some action, a bit of the supernatural, and an epic romance! Thanks so much to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I loved, loved, LOVED this story!! Any Heather McCollum books are a "must read" for me because this author never disappoints me with her stories and imagination. I love being taken away to Scotland and immersing myself in a book such as this one.

Being the first book of this brand new series, we meet all 5 brothers of Wolf Isle and I for one, am very much looking forward to reading each brother's story!! This one is Adam's story, he's the clan chief of the cursed Wolf Isle and will do everything needed to rebuild his clan and his home. He and his brothers need to marry and an unexpected opportunity opens up to him when he meets Lark at a Beltane Festival. Secrets abound and danger lurks while emotions struggle!

I adored Adam's character, as well as Lark's, each are such strong and honourable but trust is an issue they must work on. Secrets have to be told before they can completely give their hearts. I also loved the banter between the brothers....having been raised as the only girl with 4 brothers, I can relate! lol

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

It's okay.
It reminded me a bit of the old film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Book can be read as a standalone but there is a story thread running through the series, which I assume will be the other four brothers finding their love interest to break the curse that is on the Isle.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
Both have secrets which are revealed slowly.
HEA.
