Stubborn Spark (Wild Scots, #5) Kindle Edition
One snow party, two hot kisses. Three people who are more than happy to share.
Blayne
Done with university, I’m home in the Highlands, and life is anything but chill. My best friend is here and so’s a gorgeous American lass, working at my family’s snowboarding centre.
On a wild night, both Brodie and I get to lock lips with Casey. Heat scalds us. Chemistry explodes.
The best thing? All of us want to share.
Brodie
Blayne’s home, but not for long. If he wants this, I’ll do anything to make it happen. My life is falling apart, and I shouldn’t be risking my idiotic heart. Or our friendship.
I’m a carpenter and good with my hands. I can give them what they’re craving. Before both of them go and leave me behind.
Casey
A holiday romance is exactly what I need to take my mind off the disaster I fled in the States.
With the date looming for me to return, two hot Scots are ready to help me forget, and they aren’t going to make me choose.
So bring it, Highlander. You and your friend. I’m ready.
--
Stubborn Spark is the fifth and final book in the Wild Scots series and is suitable for a mature audience only. Features scenes of an extremely sexy nature with one lucky lass and two ultra-hot Scots.
Their HEA is hard fought, but guaranteed.

“‘[…] For two people to find their perfect match and fall in love is a miracle. For that to happen between three is a rare thing.’”
Jolie Vines’s Stubborn Spark, the final book in her Wild Scots series, is her treatise. It’s a promise of change. I’ve been a fan of Vines since the second book of her storied Marry the Scots series, Love Most Say Least. Since that release, I’ve read every book as one of her ARC readers (of which I read for an honest review). Each book has developed the author in Vines, and her stories have moved from sweet, fated love stories with heroes who adore their heroines at any cost to wilder, more heated romances in her Wild Scots series. To watch her evolve feels important. There are too many authors in the romance community who “play it safe.” They find what works, and they generate it over and over again. Their readers, ones like myself, continue to read them because there is trust in that relationship, a comfort in the obvious. However, they rarely progress beyond their average offering.
Jolie Vines, with Stubborn Spark, has taken a step forward. This book is still decidedly Vines with two heroes who absolutely adore their heroine, Casey, and each other. That is standard to Vines, and I don’t see that ever changing. It’s what her devoted readers love about her romances. What this book offers, though, is innovation. It’s a stand that she’s willing to move beyond her usual M/F romances and embrace more. There is wisdom in this action in that she opens her readership to variety. Menage is popular. It feels forbidden as you read it, but it’s also deliciously $exy and captivating, earning the trope devoted readers. That Vines embraces it for baby Blayne’s story shows her courage as a writer to challenge herself. Stubborn Spark is Vines taking chances, and based on particular moments in this story, she isn’t done. It’s refreshing to read an author who is willing to embrace variety. It keeps her storytelling fresh for her readers and continually surprises them at her offerings.
As a menage story, Stubborn Spark works. For this reader, there is always quite a bit of suspension of disbelief for me with menage stories. I could never personally engage in polyamory, but there is a population that embraces this. In terms of other menage stories, Stubborn Spark is commensurate with it. At its core, it’s steamy, steamy, steamy. Brodie, one of the heroes, begins as the clear alpha, and Vines has crafted her heroes to complement each other, offering the totality of heroic characters in both. Her heroine, Casey, is a perfect match for Brodie and Blayne that their throuple makes sense for the story. I think what I love most about this story, though, is the extension of Clan McRae. I was excited about this book because I was curious as to the reaction of Blayne’s father, Callum McRae, and Vines endears me to him even more. There is a bit of nostalgia inherent to this story as it’s the last of the stories for Callum’s children, and Vines decidedly saves the most profound for last with Stubborn Spark.
Look, I have read all of Jolie Vines’s stories and been excited by each of them. However, this newest book along with the potential stories to come makes me proud to be one of her ARC readers. She is making choices that showcase her ability to draft stories of any sub-genre with any trope in romancelandia. And she does it well. Her consistency lies in writing stories that readers love to read time and time again. If you’re looking for a menage story set in the highlands of Scotland and the upper Hebrides, then run and one-click Stubborn Spark.
I haven't fully figured how Maggie and her mental illness because she's off her rocker and I don't like her character overall. She's just all over the place and everyone seems to cover for her.
The epilogue is not really one but I've come to expect that after the first book I read. They are just blurbs for the next book to draw you in. I am intrigued by the next one, but part of that is just because I love the series overall. So I will most likely read it next. But we will see, because there's another series that popped up that is a mafia romance that looked interesting as well. LOL
So many books.
So little time.
Blaine’s story was supposed to be hot, hot, hot and was hyped for months to be the best yet. Instead, for me, it fell flat.
As a reader I felt cheated. This is supposed to be Blaine’s story, he saw the girl first and was interested, they had chemistry, good chemistry. After a sexy encounter it’s decided nothing can happen between Blaine and heroine if Brodie isn’t there. (Brodie’s rule)
And what was with Blaine and Brodie being attracted to each other and the heroine forcing them to acknowledge it and act on it??? This was a really weird M/F/M book and the way she added the M/M romance in, I feel took away from the plot. We didn’t have two strong male hero’s sharing a woman. We had one confident hero and one with a crap ton of baggage the reader had to wade through.
It felt like the author couldn’t decide if this the was Blaine’s story or Brodie’s.
SPOILER ALERT....
I was really disappointed when she choose to marry Brodie, (not Blaine, who’s story it is). In the end when she has her baby, you know it’s Brodie’s from the description. And so does Blaine who just smiles and feels like Brodie deserves this after his crap life.
And while we feel sorry for Brodie and the family drama he has to deal with, almost ALL the choices the trio make are all in favor of Brodie. While it’s okay for Blaine to help out his best bud/lover, it shifted the story’s focus to be more about him than the supposed hero of this book.

Really enjoyable tale, little bit of angst but super cute story and i loved how the author built the relationship between thr 3. Its not my first menage and i really enjoyed the direction this took, it isnt bogged down by sex scenes and i really liked how although the men admitted their feelings they didnt suddenly dive in to sex and kept it as very pg whilst they built a solid foundation.
Casey was a great character to fit with the two men and the side characters were interesting
