Rating: 4/5
I received a eARC for my honest opinion

This is the last book of Brothers of Wolf Isle series, and it’s about Eagan Macquarie who is the youngest brother and the one that might break the curse or doom them all again. Tessa Ainsworth, who is a healer but with her healing people think she is a witch. Will these two be the fated couple that will break the curse or just cause a lot of problems?

When I picked this book to read, I thought that I had read at least 2 or 3 of the books but found out after I read it that this was my first book. This is a series and it’s book 5, but with it being book 5 and I didn’t read any of the other ones I was still able to understand what the plot/end goal was, I won’t lie I was a little lost and I know that if I was to go back and read the others everything would make sense. However, I still liked the book. I found the plot to have been fun, engaging, great characters and they were well developed, the ending of the book was nicely wrapped up and I know that for the readers that read the whole series enjoyed the ending of the series. I found the author’s writing style to be easy to read, and I liked the pace of the book. It was the characters that shined through in this book.

Eagan loves his family so much, but he has the itch to travel and discover new places. His family wants him to fall in love and get married so he can break the curse. One day he is all ready to leave, then he runs into Tessa. She is a French woman, who is so beautiful, she is smart, talented and a survivor of the world, and she is very lonely. There is something about Tessa that Eagan can’t get her out of his mind. Tessa has no plans of staying on Wolf Isle, she is waiting for her father The French Capitan Jandeau to come back and take her away like he said, but what Tessa doesn’t know is… that her father isn’t a Captain but a pirate and one of the most horrible kinds…he takes women and children and sells them.

As the reader goes through the book, they will see the lust that the characters have turned into loving feelings and then see the characters do whatever they can to defeat the pirate Jandeau and get their happily ever after. I loved that both characters were strong, confident, not ashamed to go for what they want, and determined to overcome anything.

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

I received an advanced reader's copy of The Highlander's Untamed Tempest by Heather McCollum.

Eagan's progression from being someone who wants to be alone and get away from his family and their demands to someone who found someone perfect for him was shown throughout the story. Tempest also had to reach the realization the dream of her family based on blood ties was a lie.

I loved the visual imagery the author creates in describing the settings. There were some unexpected twists especially involving the breaking of the curse.

I love the ending showing the MacQuarie family together and happy.

A strong, adventurous finish to a series that’s been full of magic, danger, and romance.
It wraps up character arcs while giving Eagan and Tessa a story that stands tall on its own. Some parts felt a little rushed, especially near the end, but the payoff was still satisfying.

You could read this as a standalone — the backstory is layered in well — but the full series adds emotional weight. If you enjoy found family, curses, and Highlander romance with a bit of the supernatural, it’s worth diving into all five books.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy. This is my voluntary review.

Eagan Macquarie is the last of the brothers to find love, but he doesn't believe in love or the curse that threatens to end his family. In fact he is planning of leaving Wolf Isle, away from his family, away from the curse. He didn't count on Tessa Ainsworth. She brings a whole new set of issues to the inhabitants of this island. Dropped here a year ago by her sea captain father she awaits his return. His return brings a whole new set of problems. Will Eagan and Tessa be able to sort through what is real and what is not to find their way together. It is always great to visit with this family and characters from previous series as well. They are like old friends. I do have one question though, why and how do these brothers and their ladies always seem to end up on Claude Jandeau's ship? This time Jandeau has an ulterior motive, closer to the Macquaries than they would like. A wonderful final chapter to this series. But I hope to see some of these characters again maybe in a new series.

I really enjoyed the last story in the Brothers of Wolf Isle series. Eagan and Tessa were such fun to watch. I loved the twist to the story, although I did predict it pretty early on...

First book of this type, while it isn't my normal reading I enjoyed the characters and the plot of the story. It was easy to follow along with as well.

I admit I was so excited when I saw this, and I had to request it. I love Heather McCollum's writing style and characters. This one was just as good, and I devoured it. The chemistry between Tessa and Eagan was so well done because it draws you in and keeps you reading. I absolutely loved this one, and I will be recommending it to others. I can't wait for more from this author!

Thank you Net Galley ARC

An awesome Highlander romance. Tessa and Eagan have undeniable chemistry that draws the reader in and doesn't let go. I definitely enjoyed this book.

Egan is the last of the Macquerie brothers who need to wed to break the curse of Wolff Isle, and every single one of his brothers and their spouses won't let him forget that fact for one minute. With them constantly telling him who he should wed, all he wants to do is escape the Isle. Well, fate has other plans when it places Tess in his path. Hidden from the MacQueries for the past year, and studying to take over Griselda's orphanage and healing she is instantly intriguing to Egan, and he may have to hang around to get to know her a bit better.

A lot happens in this as it's the conclusion to this series. We get a showdown between the clan and you know who (if you've been following the series) Tessa and Egan's relationship did happen very quickly after their first meeting, and while I prefer more of a slow burn, or at least more of a slow burn than an instant I did enjoy these two together.

This is a fast-paced book with quite a bit of action and a great romance. I thought this was a pretty great conclusion to the series and can't wait to see what Heather McCollum will write next.

The Macquarie clan has been cursed for generations. Egan can finally break the curse if he finds love and marriage.
By a chance meeting on Samhain,Egan meets Tessa Ainsworth who has been living on Wolf Isle for the past year. Could she be the one who helps the clan break the curse.

I enjoyed the story about this family and revisiting being with them. The love that was displayed in this story is what I enjoyed the most along with the family unity.

The last brother falls. Eagan and Tessa are delish. He yearns to explore beyond Wolf Isle, she wants to return home. But home is where the heart is as these two find out. Sexy, adventurous and captivating, book 5 was a great grand finale to the series.

It’s good to see the series conclusion. The characters depicted some interesting moments. The Jandeau arc had a twist.. An overall good series to read.

So I haven't read the rest of the books in this series, but because each book follows a different couple, it stands well enough on it's own.

I do think that reading the other books might enhance the story a little, as I found the book to be just OK. It felt like a complete story, and the characters were nice enough, I just wasn't enthralled. (Could have been just me.l

I had stumbled upon The Highlander's Secret Avenger, where I had learned about the Macquarie curse, which is haunting the Macquarie brothers on the wolf Isle. So the Highlander's Untamed Tempest was a bit easier to understand. Although I missed the whole story on the pirate Yandeau, so at first I didn't understand the reference to Claudette. But even if you haven't read the other parts, you are able to pick up the story pretty fast As is common in the historical romances, Tessa is seen as a witch, since she knows her way with herbs. It still boggles my mind that women were hunted for these so-called crimes! But in this case, it results in a wonderful story with one of the hunky macquarie brothers, so no complaints from me! Absolutely loved it. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

What a great ending to the Brothers of Wolf Isle series. I absolutely loved Tessa and Eagan's story. There is angst, family secrets, love, mystery and action all wrapped into one delicious story. Tessa is a strong willed lass who is now an orphan but longs for her father. Eagan wants to leave Wolf Isle to find his place in the world. The chemistry and bond between them is instant yet bitter sweet as they both know they're not meant to stay. I loved how they both learned to trust and love and to give 100% of themselves to the other. Heather McCollum is an amazingly talented writer. I just love her books!

Eagan is determined o leave this spot of land and get away from his wacky family. He is packed and ready to go until he meets Tessa. She is someone that actually makes him feel what he was determined to never feel in his life. He is falling for this very strong willed woman who keeps saying her father is going to come and take her back to France. While she waits she starts to fall for Eagan and his large family. Tessa only wants a family and she is fast finding out that she now has one if she will only take a huge step to a great future. When Eagan discovers who her father is will their future crumble before it even starts? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sigh. The last Brothers of Wolf Isle book is upon us. Unlike many of his brothers, Eagan doesn't want a great love or a wife until he meets Claudette--then it's instalove/lust. This is one of the better books in the series and a great conclusion. Loose ends are tied up, and we get to revisit many of the couples we love. Although the books can be read standalone, you will enjoy the series more if you read the books in order. Heather McCollum is my favorite Scottish romance author, and I can't wait to see what's next!

Eagan Macquarie, a sceptical man who has never believed in love, finds himself weary of his siblings' interference in his non-existent love life. Despite a hex placed on the Macquarie clan, which can only be broken if all five Macquarie brothers marry for love, Eagan is determined to leave Wolf Isle. However, a serendipitous encounter with a stranger may just challenge his long-held beliefs about love.

Claudette Tempest Ainsworth, also known as Tessa, is a skilled midwife who has eagerly awaited her father's return to take her back to France. Their paths intertwine when Eagan is tasked with fetching her for her invaluable services. This unexpected meeting causes Eagan to reconsider his plans to leave the island.

I found it challenging to immerse myself in this book. The abundance of characters introduced at the beginning made it difficult to grasp, and the narrative's flow failed to captivate me.

Eagan Macquarie, the youngest of the Macquarie brothers, faces pressure to break his family’s curse by marrying for true love. Determined to escape, he meets Tessa, a French midwife stranded on Wolf Isle, and their chemistry is undeniable. Both desire to leave the isle but are drawn to each other despite the obstacles of pirates, witch hunters, and family secrets. The story perfectly combines romance, action, and strong character development. I loved the dynamic between Eagan and Tessa. This book was filled with passion, danger, and a captivating romance.

I normally enjoy Heather's books. However, this one had me struggling. I normally finish a book in a day, maybe two if I'm busy. It was so hard for me to finish this book and I almost DNF. I'm not sure if it was subject matter or the way it started, I just didn't want to read another book with this subject (no spoilers).
