Captured Heart

Highland Hearts Series, Book 1

By: Heather McCollum

Narrated by: Timothy Campbell

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.

Good up till ...

I really loved it up until about chapter 10... then the potential love story took a turn for me. Although the were additional situations that tried to force romance, it was just never the same for me. Sadly, the once fierce, admirable heroine made some very dumb moves as though she completely changed.
It all just fizzled from there and the end drags and drags.

Good Story

Not her best but a good story. A little unbelievable. Narrators make characters woman voice is the hoarse one that ends in a higher note. Not in a natural dialogue.

Great!

Wow! This is a great story! It has passion adventure and depth! It may have pulled a few tears from my eyes... I loved the main characters, especially the strong female lead who is not sappy and overreactive. And I loved her loyal wolf friend!

Captured heart

Excellent story by an excellent author. Exciting,entertaining and interesting. Overall was satisfying and enjoyable.

Great adventure/love story

Great story. It didn’t just go back and forth. It was a fast paced story that kept me interested.
