Crimson Heart by Heather McCollum

Searc is the clan chief’s son. His mother is a healer however there are those who call her a witch because of her powerful healing power. Searc feels his clan is fearful of him due to his own power that he might be able to kill others. For this reason he abandons his clan because he believes they have fear of him and honestly he has no idea how much of his power he can control.


During his travels he meets Elena who is being attacked by bad men who have her pinned in a tree. She is also running away from others and hiding her true identity. Searc rescues her with his strong power. He promised to get her to Edinburg. However soon these two find an attraction that neither one can deny!


Disclaimer: I received a free advance readers copy from Entangled publishing. I voluntarily agreed to do an honest, fair, review and blog through netgalley. All words, thoughts, ideas are my own.

I love this author and own many of her paperback books, but this one I just could not get into. I will continue reading Ms. McCollum's books, but felt this one just wasn't it for me.

*This book was sent to me via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*


You know it's a good series when you can read a book a day all while still adulting. I sure hope this author keep writing more Scottish romance novels because I will definitely be buying them!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elena Seymour has spent most of her life in hiding as she is a daughter of King Henry VIII. Keeping her royal blood a secret has been a success ever since she was hidden away, but now, with Queen Mary on the throne, Elena's Protestant caretaker has told her she must run because if the Queen finds out about her, her life may be forfeit.

Serc Munro is a Highland warrior who has been harboring a deep secret for most of his life. In a family of healers with good magic, his own dark, killing magic must never be known. But when his father's life is threatened, Serc has no option but to unleash his own magic, revealing his secret to his clan. Now he feels no longer welcome so he sets off alone, only to find he must use his magic again to save a beautiful young lass being attacked in the forest.

Teaming up as exiles, Elena and Serc head towards Edinburgh to find a man that she was told might be able to help her, but with a series of ritual killings haunting the city and a traitor trying to assassinate Scotland's regent, suspicion quickly turns to Serc as word of an illegitimate British heir reaches Edinburgh. Now Serc and Elena must find a way to trust each other, despite the secrets they each hold, before it's too late.

Wow just wow. This book was incredible. Heather McCollum is absolutely fantastic. This book had my attention from the get go. You Never Knew what was going to happen next. There was non stop action that kept me on the edge of my seat. The two main characters were so great together. Serc and Elena were made for each other. Even the reader did not know the extent of Elena's secrets until you were well into the book. This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys historical fiction and historical romance.
