Will a spark between two childhood friends light into a flame
Lady Fiona McDougal embodies the wild spirit of Scotland, untamed and free.. As her heart and necessity battle only one answer arises time and again, Colin Campbell. But he is the one man who refuses to court her.
Colin has loved Fiona for as long as he can remember. Her fiery spirit and matching hair, fill him with a warmth that no other woman can match. A very enjoyable book of friends to lovers with misunderstandings along the way too. Fiona & Colin are very likeable but at times I wanted to shake the pair of them. They’ve grown up together & have been the best of friends & both are in love in with the other but Colin’s father has stressed for years that Colin shouldn’t marry for love so like a dutiful son Colin hasn’t pursued Fiona. The story is well paced & there is plenty of humour surrounding the pairs jealousy.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
Fiona was a feisty girl with the fiery red hair to match. She grew up around boys that she would not think twice about taking down and Fiona could do take them down with the best of them. Haggis is tired of her shenanigans and wants to see her married off. Fiona wants nothing to do with that game because she has had eyes for Colin. Colin’s dad has put bad thoughts in his head about love and, feeling like Fiona deserves more, refuses to marry her. When circumstances change and the men come to meet Fiona, Colin’s mean streak comes out. Fiona just wants one man but can the man realize what he has in front of him is the best for him? Another great read. There is some laughter, romance, and some jealous shenanigans by the other guys.
Second in the A Laird to Love series brings us Colin and Fiona who were introduced in “My Enemy, My Earl”. The two had grown up together and were the best of friends, but times change as they are now adults. Fiona is being pressured by her father to marry and chose a suitor. There are several problems though! Her heart is already taken by Colin and she cannot find any feelings for any other suitor. Plus she will not be a biddable wife which is what most of them want! Colin has grown up being taught by his father that to love would destroy him so only marry someone that he will not feel strong affection. But Colin has the same problem as Fiona. He is having a hard time resisting his best friend that has grown into a beautiful strong minded woman! There are many factors at play in this story that is brought to life in the characters and emotions. The twist and turns will keep you turning the pages and as in any Tammy Andresen story, you will be fully engaged!!
Well written and well-paced. Enjoyable characters especially the spirited Fiona. She wanted to marry for a love and passion that was wild and free as she was. Due to a misguided “brainwashing” from his father, Colin creates such a mess by denying his true feelings. With Heart of a Highlander you get drama, humor, misunderstandings, and friend to lovers happily ever after.
