Separated by Time
Una visión catastrófica hace que Edna Campbell envíe a su sobrina, Maggie MacKinnon, una novata bruja, de vuelta en el tiempo a la Escocia del siglo XVI en un intento de salvar al clan MacKenzie y enfrentarse al reflejo de sí misma pero en forma de una bruja malvada llamada Brielle.Disfrazada de muchacho y acompañada por su tío Angus, Maggie debe prevalecer en ese juego de ajedrez de vida o muerte; un enfrentamiento de bruja contra bruja. Hay mucho en juego, incluyendo el destino de su emergente relación con Dylan Sinclair, su futuro como bruja y la existencia misma del puente a través del tiempo.Dylan Sinclair está viviendo la aventura de su vida, habiendo viajado atrás en el tiempo a la Escocia medieval. Guapo y encantador, es un imán para el sexo opuesto, pero la única mujer que le interesa se encuentra en el Glendaloch del siglo XXI, o eso cree él. Brielle, disfrazada de Maggie, llega a Breaghacraig, sorprendiendo y confundiendo a Dylan cuando se percata de que es muy diferente de la chica de la que pensaba que se estaba enamorando. Pero sin renunciar a su primera oportunidad de tener un amor verdadero, Dylan comienza a intentar resolver el enigma en el que Maggie se ha convertido.

Separated by Time is the third novel of the Thistle & Hive Series. Nevertheless, it can be read as a standalone. However, I recommend that it is read after the first two books in order to avoid confusion since the author mentions some situation and characters from previous books.
I must admit I am not a fan of time travel but I do love highlander romances so I found that, to some point, I enjoyed the sweet romance between Maggie, a witch in training, and Dylan, a highlander boy from the past. Maggie is quite a sweet character and, for some reason, I couldn’t help but feel that she has this strange aura of innocence. I couldn’t help but picture her as a naïve high school girl even though she was going through some sort of witch training to defeat a dangerous sorceress that was trying to do mischief while posing as her. I kind of admire her determination but there were moments when I highly disagreed with her choices. We will see what you think about her
I actually liked the author’s writing skills because the story wasn’t too descriptive but it gave you enough details so that you could imagine the atmosphere that surrounded the characters and even the characters themselves. I must confess, I loved how the highlander’s territory was portrayed but I also felt that some hints about the villain and the way the story was going to progress were a little too obvious from the very beginning. Therefore, I do believe that would distract you a little bit because you are already expecting someone to confront the villain instead of suspecting little by little. I seriously wanted to shout at some characters for being so naïve and clueless. That aside, the plot followed a good pace even though when it was a little but slow at times.
I highly recommend this novel to any highlander and/or time travel lovers that enjoy a sweet romance, some drama mixed with fantasy and a touch of action. The whole package, right?

Loving the seriesl
Recently discovered this author and in less than a week I’ve just finished book three. I find her writing style easy and enjoyable to read. The characters are well written and for the most part good people. As with every story you must have your villain.
In this book Maggie Dylan and the evil with Brielle are our main characters. Maggie’s turns out to be a great witch and saves the day.
Looking forward to the next book, to meet new characters, and hopefully find more things about the characters introduced in books one and two.
If you like time travel books you really should try this series!

Received this ARC from the author through Digital Publishing.
The story is fine, although somewhat shallow character development. It is somewhat difficult to describe how to indicate that I hoped for more.
Initially I was thinking it might be geared towards younger readers, but the bedroom scenes were (in my older person's mind) just a bit too descriptive for the preteen reader. I realize I might be wrong, so that can be determined by others.

The Thistle and Hive series book 3
Another thoroughly enjoyable book. The best I have read in a long time that holds you from page 1 until sadly the last page. But happily there's a book four and five. I will keep this authors name so I can search out anything else she has written. Her characters are so interesting and everything flows smoothly through time.

What a Wonderful Book!
Jennae Vale will be one of my favorite authors. This third book was as enjoyable as her first two. Differently for mature readers due to romance scenes. Now onto her forth.....

Unfortunately I didn’t read the first two books and I felt a little confused sometimes. So I suggest that before you read Separated by Time that you should read the other books first. I really enjoyed the book despite the fact that I was confused sometimes though and that is a good thing!
The characters are likeable and they seem like people that you could be friends with. I love it when the characters feel real, it just helps me get into the story more.
Overall, it was a good read and I was disappointed when I got to the end. I am looking forward to future works from Jennae Vale.

Awesome
This series just keeps getting better. Wonderfully animated characters, intriguing plots makes this a true feel good read. They stand alone yet I find they play off one another to enhance the story. If you enjoy time travel stories with a bit of magic then your a sure to enjoy this book.

Loved this series
I've read this book when it first came out and I just had to read it again. I love the adventures of the folks from Thistle and Hive. Dylan and Maggie met again in the sixteenth century but something was off with Maggie and Dylan was determined to figure it out. great story.

Nice series
An enjoyable read. Loved how the bridge worked both ways.. Sweet, with just enough romance to be intriguing, but not raunchy. A good story about witches. Easily believable with great characters. Enjoy!

This is really good. I enjoyed the interactions between the two, considering one was suppose to be dressed as a man, um yeah; Maggie.
Of course Dylan is so confused, he doesn't understand why he is all of a sudden attracted to this(man). He is really concerned. But this book is not about that right?? It is about lies, deceit, witches, and coming together.
