Hero Of A Highland Wolf is the 14th book in the series, and I swear this is one of my favorites so far. I just adored every aspect of the story and I couldn't put this one down once I started into it. We see some old characters from past books, which was fun and hilarious and made the story seem even more enjoyable...the icing of the cake!! The story begins with Grant having a sword fight with Ian, a mock battle upon Colleen's arrival. Grant is hoping to shock her, but what does she do? Video tapes it for Ian's wife....from the beginning you get a kick start on the story that instantly pulls you in. The first half of the story is mainly Grant trying not to let himself care for Colleen, but he ends up wanting what he always denied. In the second half of the story the romance escalates and the plot thickens with Grant's enemy...and quite some amusing antics with Ian and his wife Julia. There is a sense of playfulness and creativity which is perfect for a wolf shifter romance...they do love their play...and we see quite a play here of events that keep you more engaged with each page.


The characters in the story were lively and engaging. Grant...is your alpha wolf. Commanding, jealous, possessive and way too over protective, and with a hidden passion that will make you weak in the knees. The male who has had his share of women, and never thought of settling down....but Ian proves him wrong. There is such a male commadarie in the story and we see more of their friendship in this story. Colleen is best friends with Julia....a secret they have kept from the men until now. So they have some aces up their sleeves and know how to pull a wringer on their mates...Collen was such a fun and feisty heroine. She fights for what she believes, is passionate, and independent, but accepts love when she sees it.

Overall a wonderful dispaly of wolf shifter romance, with some historical scottish culture in a modern day setting, a sexy highlander wolf in a kilt (WOWZERS). a one of a kind heroine, sword fighting, pirate playacting, and some amusing scenes to keep you laughing for days!!! A engrossing story to steal your heart!! EXCELLENT!!

Hero of a Highland Wolf is the fourteenth book in The Heart of the Wolf series and like all the books in this series it can be read as a standalone.
Hero of a Highland Wolf tells the story of Colleen Playfair an alpha and Grant MacQuarrie who is also an alpha. Colleen had recently inherited the family estate in Scotland, the same estate for which Grant was the manager. Now Grant was not keen on Colleen coming to spend a year at the estate, which was a condition of her accessing her inheritance, as such he was intent on doing just about anything to get her to leave. What ensued as a result led to some very hilarious moments. The one thing Grant was not counting on was for him to be attracted to Colleen which derailed his plans.
Colleen being the alpha that she was did allow the tactics employed by Grant and his pack to prevent her from taking charge. She pushed back and proved that she was worthy of her inheritance.
The characters were easy to connect with and they were very entertaining. The story did not move at the fast pace that I have come to expect from Ms. Spear, however it was not a boring read. She kept my interest by the way she outlined Grant’s and Colleen’s family history. There was mystery and intrigues embedded in the family history which made me eager to find out what direction she would be taking her fans. The pace built up near to the end which led to some nail biting moments. While reading I felt as if I was a part of the story as Ms. Spear descriptions were quite vivid. 

Hero of a Highland Wolf is an entertaining and humorous read. It has the right blend of romance, mystery and intrigue. If you love shifter romance, which is filled with humour, mystery and intrigue then you need to get a copy of this book. I would also recommend the other books in the series as well.

Received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.
