Wild Mountain Scots marks the point where Jolie Vines’s Highland romances shifted into darker territory. The five books, Obsessed, Hunted, Stolen, Betrayed, and Tormented, were all published in 2021 and 2022, and the titles spell out exactly what kind of emotional landscape each book covers. These are not comfortable romances, and that’s precisely the appeal.
The heroes in Wild Mountain Scots are possessive and intense in ways that earlier series only hinted at. The mountain setting reinforces the sense of characters trapped by circumstance and by their own overwhelming feelings. Vines handles the darker dynamics with enough emotional grounding that the relationships feel real rather than just extreme.
All five books came out within roughly a year of each other, which gave the series a momentum that readers felt across the run. Obsessed is the natural starting point, and the series rewards readers who follow it through to Tormented, where the emotional threads from earlier books resolve. For fans of dark Highland romance who haven’t yet tried Wild Mountain Scots, this is the series to start with before moving on to Dark Island Scots.
