Summary

Fleeing with only her bow, horse, enormous pet wolf, and the cryptic clues hidden in her mother's medicine journal, healer Meg Boswell gallops north toward freedom, running from the man who falsely accused her mother of witchcraft. Cursed with magical healing abilities, Meg knows that if she's captured, she will die like her mother - atop a blazing witch's pyre.

Winter winds rip across the Highlands, pressing Chief Caden Macbain forward in his desperate plan to save his clan. He's not above using an innocent woman to bargain for peace if it keeps his clan from starving. But Meg isn't who Caden thinks she is, and when she kills a man to save the clan, he must choose between duty and her life. For although he captured her to force a peace, Meg's strength and courage have captured Caden's heart.

Contains mature themes.

I Absolutely Loved this Book

This book was right up my street. The story, the different characters, the narrator all came together to take me on a journey. This is what a good book is supposed to do. I couldn't stop listening to it.
I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful

I can’t remember the last book I read, that left my heart soaring. The ending! I’ve listened to many historical romances, but this is the only one that left me feeling such happiness. Heather McCollum is a true talent.

Almost like there are missing chapters

I enjoyed the story, but felt that some of the issues which should have had a massive impact on the characters were simply dismissed. The story lost a lot of integrity for me from there, and the feelings between characters felt fake and shallow because of this. It was a shame because I really liked the main character and her backstory. I have read a lot by this author and she has always acknowledged conflict between characters well, and written satisfying, believable resolutions. This was sadly not one of them.

absolutely brilliant

Loved every second of it,I just couldn't stop listening and when I did I couldn't wait to get back to it. I haven't listened to Scottish Historical Romance for a while now and oh how I missed it. I've been listening to Regency, but I much prefer Scottish. It's really nice to be back. I love all Heather McCollum's books, and the ones I've listened to were quite steamy but this one wasn't, but I still loved every second of it.
Needless to say Tim Campbell was brilliant as always. Love his narrating.

Did Not Expect to Enjoy It

I have listened to two other books by this author and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was quick to purchase the third and didn’t read the summary and within the first few minutes, talking of her blue light and magic powers I groaned. I’m not a fan of those types of books but I decided to see if I could push through.

I enjoyed this book as I did the others. Really like the unexpected laughs.

The characters are well developed and the story is another one that drags out but not overly so. If you are hesitant about the magic aspect, it’s really not a sci-fi type story aside from her having healing powers. Give it a shot.

Excellent!

Romance, adventure and a little bit of heeling magic. A dreamy Hilander and a brave lady in a stunning Scotland setting - what more can you ask for?! I enjoyed this story and the narrator was wonderful.

Grabbed me and wouldn’t let go!

I love books with strong female characters. MC Meg was just one of them in this book. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

Fantastic

Heather never disappoints. Great story and characters. I wish Tim Campbell narrated EVERY book I listen to. I have listened to hundreds of books and he is by far the best narrator!

Good story, a little silly

This was a pretty good story. It was mostly developing love, with a tinge of relationship controversy. But for the most part it was not too filled with relationship angst, which is not my favorite plot flavor.
The part I found silly was the 'magic' and witchery. I knew it was in there, and I've read many historical novels that contained 'healers' however, none of them actually had magical healing, the ability to conjure light filled orbs, or the mystical sense of others physical secrets. So at first I was a little put off because I do like to imagine, when reading fiction, that there is some plausibility to the story and for me in this one there was not. But once I got past that I just enjoyed the story for what it was and had fun. The secondary characters were absolutely fun and should be fun to move forward with in the next books.
I normally prefer women narrators because for me it's easier to listen to women faking men's voices than it is to hear men faking women's voices (which is unfair to negatively review a man for a bad women's voice imo by the way) Tim Campbell is one of two male narrators that I will listen to. He did a great job in this one and I eventually even forgot that the women's voices were from a male narrator and they just blended into the story.

I got this on a 2/1 sale and feel it was worth it. I definitely don't feel it would be worth a whole credit, partly because I'm extremely choosy about what I spend a whole credit on. And this is only a 9+ hour book which I would only under extremely rare circumstances (required reading?) spend a whole credit on.

Great story

The story of Meg and Caden was absolutely bs free. A few stumbles of dishonesty but it was truly meant to keep piece and fear at bay.
I enjoyed how Heather McCollum gave us drama but had the MCs talk it through and kept out the whining most put into the FMC.
The story has good action, mysteries, love and magic.
