The Wicked Viscount (Highland Roses School) by Heather McCollum. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


1685, Scottish Highlands

Cat Campbell knows all about Nathaniel Worthington, fifth Viscount of Lincolnshire. The determined Englishman is never far from Finlarig Castle, where his sisters train women to do more than read and write. And thanks to the fiery kiss they shared nearly a year ago he is never far from her thoughts. No one ever trained her how to forget an irresistible man.

Nathaniel knows he should keep his distance from the fierce Scottish lass, but when an urgent letter from Queen Catherine calls Cat to London, he can’t resist volunteering to escort her. The tension between the two has simmered for months, but the long journey in close quarters creates a raging wildfire that could burn them both.

Secrets of their past and the treachery lurking at court put both their future together and their very lives at risk.
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Viscount Nathaniel Worthington has been in the highlands of Scotland visiting with his sisters.  They opened a school for young ladies that is very different from most.  Now though, he has been summoned to London and asked to bring a healer with him. 
Cat Campbell is just about the wildest of the "Highland Roses" . She has had a lot of heartache in her life and has learned the hard way to rely only on herself.  She is a gifted healer who knows how to protect herself and her friends. 
Our mismatched duo,  an English Lord and a Scottish peasant , have a dangerous and complicated adventure ahead of them.  The  journey from the highlands is not half as dangerous as the Royal court in London. 
I was awake reading until 2:30am because I couldn't put it down. 
It is part of a series.  Although you could read it on it's own I would recommend reading the series in order to really understand our characters. 
I loved it.

A Protector in the Highlands (Highland Roses School #2) by Heather McCollum. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


With few other options, Scarlet Worthington flees from her home in England to the wild Highlands of Scotland to help her sister run a school for ladies. There, Scarlet begins to rebuild her own shattered confidence by recruiting a fierce Campbell warrior to teach her and the students how to protect themselves from villains and scoundrels. The intimidating Aiden Campbell both infuriates Scarlet and ignites a fire inside her as she works closely with him to hone her new skills.
Burned in a fierce fire, set by English soldiers, Highland warrior, Aiden Campbell, has finally healed enough to take temporary command of his clan. That's where his focus should be instead of dealing with the feisty, beautiful Sassenach who asks him to teach her students.
When Scarlet's past stalks her up into Scotland, her nightmares come alive, and Aiden's lessons are put to the test. With his own ghosts from the past making him despise English women, Aiden fights the inferno of passion that's grown between them, a different kind of wild fire that could prove just as deadly.
Each book in the Highland Roses School series is STANDALONE:
* A Rose in the Highlands
* A Protector in the Highlands

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Scarlet Worthington was the main reason why the sisters came to Scotland.  She needed to escape from the court of King Charles and the devious man who is one of the King's favourites.  Opening a school for young ladies with her sister is just what she needed.  The school, however will teach things that most will not see as lady like subjects. 
Aiden Campbell hates all the English.  He was badly burned by the soldiers,  and English women cannot be trusted.  They are far too fragile for life in the Scottish highlands. 
Both our hero and heroine have to deal with nightmares from the past before peace can be found.  Treasonous plots and enemies can be conquered by bravery and trust. 
A very exciting story with wonderful characters.  Lots of fun and danger to enjoy.  While you could read this book on it's own,  if you read the first book in the series you will have a better understanding of the political upheaval surrounding our characters. 
I loved both books and can't wait to read the next one.

A Rose in the Highlands (Highland Roses School #1) by Heather McCollum. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


1684, Scottish Highlands

Englishwoman Evelyn Worthington is resolved to build a school for ladies in her brother's newly purchased Scottish castle. But when she arrives, not only does she find the castle scorched by fire, but a brawny Highlander bars her entry.

Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see his family home, Finlarig Castle, fall into English hands, so Grey must win the battle of wills with the beautiful Sassenach who flashes a bill of sale before him.

When the war between Evelyn and Grey escalates, passions flare. But outsiders have their own plans for Finlarig. After secrets are revealed, and muskets are lit, the fates of the Campbell Clan, the school, and a possible future for Grey and Evelyn are in as much jeopardy as their lives
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Evelyn Worthington is running away from an unwanted betrothal.  In his will,  her father insisted that she marry a man of his choosing or be disinherited. The new estate her brother has bought is just the place for the two sisters to hide and start a new life.  Unfortunately the previous tenants don't want to leave. 
Chief Greyson Campbell is determined not to lose his clan's stronghold.  The English have gone to evil extremes to force them out.  It will not happen while there is breath in his body. 
This is a very amusing story about a very strong minded young woman with grand ideas and a warrior with the odds stacked against him. 
An action packed book that will keep you entertained all the way through.  Great characters that I'm looking forward to reading more about in the next book of the series. 
Great fun.
