Historical Romance Review: Highland Fire by Ruth Langan

Posted on August 27, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

Highland Fire is the third of Ruth Langan’s MacAlpin clan Highland series originally published as Harlequin Historicals. The first two books were Highland Barbarian, about sister Meredith, and Highland Heather was middle sister’s Brenna’s tale. This book tells the story of the youngest MacAlpin sister, Megan, and her romance with an Irish renegade, Kieran O’Mara. 3 1/2 stars

Historical Romance Review: Highland Barbarian by Ruth Langan

Posted on May 13, 2021October 20, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Highland Barbarian by Ruth Langan is a solid start to her series about the Mac Alpin clan, but it is not as exciting as the rest of the sequels are. 3 stars
