About this eBook

Can an English wallflower survive on the Scottish moors?

Heather is a spitfire disguised as a spinster. Unwilling to face a marriage to a loathsome man, she does the only sensible thing…she runs away to Scotland! Unfortunately, before she even crosses the border, her coach is held up and a dashing Scotsman rides to her rescue.

Niall MacNair will gamble on nearly anything, but he wouldn’t have bet on finding a bonny blossom of a lady in the middle of the high road. But Heather proves to be much more than a pretty face, and when he hears her tragic tale, Niall makes a mad proposal: marry him instead!

Can a simple yes solve all of Heather’s troubles? Of course not, and soon the couple find themselves in a whirlwind of family drama, passionate embraces, and hidden dangers. Heather must draw on her wit and the advice of her best friends from Wildwood Hall to get through this thorny path to true happiness with her daring highlander.

The Wallflowers of Wildwood series follows five young women as they leave their beloved boarding school and venture out into the cutthroat world of the marriage mart. Get ready, London. These wallflowers are wilder than you think!

This review is of Heather and the Highlander, book 3 in the Wallflowers of Wildwood series, by Elizabeth Cole. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I loved this book! Heather Hayes is a woman after my heart. She absolutely refuses to marry the man her uncle picked for her and climbs out of the window several stories up to escape her fate! And that’s just the first chapter! Then there is Niall MacNair. The tall, Scot who doesn’t want to marry his intended either. Then there are the descriptions of Niall’s home and the countryside around it. And of course the wicked uncle is not going down without a fight! The book is the perfect combination of characters, in more ways than one, action, romance, and laughs. I didn’t want to put this down: it’s that good and made me feel good and laugh. But of all the things that happened, I want you remember one thing: lackluster pear tart. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. It was a pleasure to read!

Heather has so far been my least favorite character with her high handed bratty self... I think even half of that could have been enough lol but still enjoyed the book!

In spite of the way they met, and the reason she ran away, Heather Hayes and Niall MacNair have a delightful story. Neither of them wants to marry the person with whom their marriages have been arranged. The solution? The two of them would marry, just temporarily. Easy, right? Well, maybe not. The harder they try to keep distance between them, the more attracted they become. Will they act on the attraction, or will they follow through on their plan? This is a delightful story with great characters. Heather is determined to be independent, to travel, and have adventures. With the exception of his impulsive marriage idea, Niall is grounded, hard-working, and takes responsibilities seriously. If things work out, they will make a very interesting couple. There are a couple of villains here. Heather’s Uncle Cyril is a greedy bully. Mr. Webb (the jilted suitor) is greedy and creepy. Niall’s siblings and the Wildwood flowers are entertaining. Action, romance, humor, and, a touching HEA – great read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
