Untamed Hearts was an enjoyable short read with pirates and Highlanders!Will Wyatt is not your normal pirate. He's one of a diversified company who rescue children from a life of servitude. He, himself, was one of those saved children years ago when he was rescued from a certain life of servitude from a slave trade boat. After a particularly successful run garnering multiple children, Will must take refuge for a while on land until the hunt for him dies down. To that end, he has taken on the task of escorting the children to their new home in the Scottish Highlands. That's where he meets Jonet Montgomery at a kissing booth of all places! Oh my... Will can KISS! I absolutely loved Will... he was capable, gentle, strong... just the perfect, swoon-worthy man.Jonet Montgomery had been married young into a loveless arrangement. Her husband had recently died and she has made her life work taking care of the children of the clan. She wants to convert an abandoned dwelling in the village into a home for the children but it needs a new roof and other improvements. Jonet and her friend devote themselves to raising funds via a kissing booth. They expected chaste kisses but someone forgot to tell Will...Jonet was a strong woman with a good heart. She definitely deserved better than the hand that her life had been dealt.I love my Highlanders and I love books that take me to those ancient landscapes. This book can certainly be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but, in hindsight, IF I were reading it for the 1st time, I would take the time to read the previous books first. I think it would have increased my enjoyment of this novella. I do plan to go back and read the previous books when I have a chance. I enjoyed the author's writing and the captivating atmosphere she wove in the pages of this tale.Very good!4 Stars!
