She was a pawn in an English marriage game… until she became a Highland warrior’s queen.

Ludella Howard would rather face a blade than a life tied to the insufferable Maximilian Hasting. Desperate and defiant, she flees the gilded cages of England, stowing away with a band of Highland warriors. But the rugged mountains of Scotland are no place for a lady—unless that lady is hiding a deadly secret.

He is the heir to a powerful clan. She is the enemy's blood.

Ranulph Sutherland has no time for English runaways. Tasked with escorting Ludella to safety, the formidable warrior is prepared for a delicate flower—not a woman who can hold her own in a bloody ambush. When Ludella draws a saber and fights at his side, Ranulph is more than intrigued; he’s captivated. But in the Highlands, love is a political minefield, and Ludella's English heritage is a spark in a powder keg.

One treasonous plot. Two hearts at war.

When a ruthless rival kidnaps Ludella and Ranulph’s younger brother, the stakes shift from scandal to survival. To save her new home and the man who has claimed her heart, Ludella must shed her noble skin and embrace her inner warrior.

In a land of ancient feuds and brewing treason, will their bond be the bridge that unites two worlds—or the fire that burns them both to the ground?

Highland Wild Heart is a sweeping Scottish historical romance featuring a fierce heroine, a protective alpha hero, and a love that defies the Crown. If you love secret training, forced proximity, and high-stakes clan warfare, you’ll love Ludella and Ranulph’s journey.

Inconsistent and confusing

What in the AI chaos is going on here. There are so many timeline and storyline errors, it’s too confusing to keep straight. There are gaps in the story to make you jump forward, some segments that are repeated verbatim, and some scenes that are repeated but with some changes. For example: the final battle plays out two ways with the same antagonist dying both times but in different ways.

Not Worth the Listen

Overall story line not bad, but either the author sucks at editing or AI voicing is horrible. There are multiple places where the story moves forward then skips backward and tells the same narrative previously covered. Solidifies my reluctance to listen to virtually voiced books. I won't bother in the future. People who voice audio books are more skilled and make the stories much more interesting. Can the AI reading and pay those who do the job well.
