DNF
It's boring to be blunt. The POV's seem to be specifically separated - even if it's no more than a few sentences, but then in the next 'section', there will be a sentence or two here and there that are clearly not from the same person. Plus, most of the time, most of the characters are taking absolute CRAP!
There's no evidence of character, or character growth, and I got halfway thru. There also seem absolutely NO reason for a relationship to be building between the two, but it is... kind of.
Obviously the plot is a bit of a sneaky one, so the authors being greedy about letting anything about what's really going on slip, but it's just making it irritating and boring. Halfway, she's been there for like 48hrs and she's been treated like a surf and suggested she may be 'allowed' to service the laird if she's good, and he's giving her grief for not making up her mind. And if that's not bad enough, he is aware she's from the future, has dealt with others from the future and still seems to be an idiot about it all.
Plus, I just read a few other reviews, and it's going to be a fucking cliffhanger! Can you say WTF?... That's spelt D O N E.

TW/CW: Sexual assault, Fatphobia
Part of me feels like this book can’t have been edited at all. The grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are poor, and the stereotypical dialogue of the Scottish characters is cringy. The plot is never explained well enough for it to make much sense, but I could almost forgive that to begin with because it’s an easy book to speed through reading. Towards the end, however, the scenes become rushed and messy, and I found it hard to keep my attention on what was happening in the story.
There were also a few bizarre lines that the main character thinks regarding a minor character that seem very casually fatphobic. It was unnecessary and weird.
All of my problems with the beginning of the book I could just about deal with, and I would simply have judged it as a badly written book with an interesting premise.
However, the first ‘sex scene’ in this book bothered me A LOT. The scene features the heroine of the story asleep in bed, dreaming about the love interest and imagining them being intimate. In her dream she remarks on how real the moment feels. Upon waking she realises that it was real, and what she had been ‘dreaming’ about was actually happening. So, essentially, this scene features a woman who is asleep being touched and stimulated by a man who is awake and the only one fully aware of what is going on. This scene is played off as sexy, and the main character only acts a little embarrassed whilst simultaneously continuing to lust after the love interest. To be clear this is a form of sexual assault. If one person is incapable of consenting, in this case due to being unconscious at the time, then that is assault.
This scene was so jarring and off-putting, and left me feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Sexual assault and rape scenes should never be portrayed as romantic. I’m so disappointed.

This is about Paige Walsh, who decides to attend the annual Highland Games on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina and does a deal with a Gypsy she meets there to find herself a highlander of her own.
Her plan backfires & instead she ends up in the past facing a clan of Highlanders, who take her to live with them but then begins to fall for their leader.
Maybe living in the past, won't be so bad after all.
I love Lorraine's other books & she's excellent at time- travel romance, which is a favourite genre of mine.
This was a good read, kept my attention & ended with a cliff hanger that I'm dying to know what happens next.
Recommended if you,like me, love 'Outlander' & time travel romance books.

While this was by no means a literary masterpiece, I did enjoy it nonetheless. It was a quick, fun read that didn't require me to think much. And I'm always a sucker for a highlander/time travel romance! I would have liked to have known more about how the time travel worked, there was little to no explanation about it and it left me wanting more. It also kind of bothered me how Paige was so nonchalant about being thrown hundreds of years back in time. She seemed to have no reaction to it and it was just strange. Despite this I did enjoy the story, I just thought it could have been so much more!

Laughing out loud
Book itself is very entertaining but be warned it is also very funny. Paige wants to meet a real Highlander. You mix mead, Highland games, gypsy fortune teller, and a contract signed in blood. You get an entertaining novellas. Well-developed characterization and well-written story line. Adult readers due sexual and violent content. Game was interesting but...

Just ok
While I do love how the author tries yo keep the reader involved with the clues, that and a few steamy love scenes are about it. There are typos and grammatical mistakes throughout the the book. It lacks luster and gravely lacks details that other authors offer. Not sure if she is newer to writing or just lacks talent or maybe has improved and this was one of the first. I have a couple other ebooks of hers, but I wasn't impressed enough to even give those a try. Would only give 1 star, but added another for the clue concept. Not going to inform readers about main characters because it's not worth the read with all the questions remaining. It's not enough. Going to say do not bothering reading, which is a first or second for me...hardly ever give such a low rating.

It had the potential to be a good story, but the delivery fell flat. The grammatical errors, structural problems, poor POV flipping, and repetitive vocabulary distracted from the characters and their plot. The characters themselves needed more development and the plot, despite being the first in a series of 13, did not describe the magical element of the story to a point where readers knew enough to want more; instead, the reader is left with a feeling of confusion, as if the book still had a hundred more pages to go. I wanted to give this book the benefit of the doubt, but it could have used a lot of editorial work, character/plot development, and more efficient presentation overall.

Interesting but short
I thought the main character Paige was too immature for her age. She comes off as silly, stupid and has a serious attachment problem. The book has some light humor. Gavin played his brooding heartbroken self. It just lacked. Maybe it's because we weren't introduced to the rest of his clan. As much as I want to know what happens next I just can't see buying it.

This is the 1st time travel romance I read. I don't like romances in general, and time travel is just an element that doesn't appeal to me. The magic and time travel didn't make since. This one didn't focus on the sex, but it was described enough to not be clean. but it wasn't a lot and it wasn't in-depth detail. The hero was from the future too, so at least it made some kind of since why these 2 could bond and understand each other. but the plot was still unbelievable.

DNF (only made it about 1/2 way through the book).... This book was not my fav... and I do not think I will try again later. I really did not like the main character, and the story line just felt wrong to me some how. I really wanted to like this book (I usually love time travel romances), however, this book was just not for me.

Nice read
I had many giggle fits reading the response of the main female character Paige. It sounded way too familiar! Quick read and a fun and sexy story. Only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was it ended too abruptly. I appreciate leaving you hanging and wanting more but I felt it stopped mid paragraph.

Had potential...
The idea was there but not the execution. The main character Paige is annoying, I couldn't even finish it. Can't make up her mind, keeps calling herself a "b", doesn't speak up, and classic "why is he acting like this" when she causes her own problems! Do not recommend at all.

It was a little crazy going back in time. It was a bad that one of gavin's men turned against him and he was a damp coward cause he couldn't kill them on his own so he had 2 spike the ale just 2 do its dirty work 4 him. She saved him and he saved her in ways but it seems like he might b doing it 4 the wrong reasons. But it's good that he probably killed or severely damaged the loch ness.

A Different Time Travel
This seemed like a short story to me and perhaps I was expecting more. I enjoyed the storyline but wished I'd gotten to know the characters better. Of course, there IS a part 2.

It started out good and funny and then it got serious and I got bored. Paige was just plain irritating because she couldn't make up her mind what she wanted. I had a difficult time finishing this book.

Time travel with humor and cliffhanger
This is supposed to be a story about Scottish time travel with some humor mixed in, but what I'm finding is a cliffhanger. I don't enjoy getting to the end of a book to find you need to purchase the next book to find out what happens next.

Good book if only.....
This would be a good book if only it had all the pages! So many pages are simply blank and the reader has to infer what has happened from the text on the following pages. Even the ending is gone. Very frustrating.

So servitude equals love now?
Practically overnight she discovers herself to be in love with the guy who's only interactions were essentially telling her to clean the keep or screw him when he feels like it... Don't waste your time.

Anti-climactic
The reading is confusing at the beginning. This book is only half the size in truth as its 2 versions of the same book. Is there a point to that, not really. It leaves with a huge cliff hanger. What is the reason for alt ending and epilogue when it is a series.

A Scottish highland tale
Travel through time to the past. Not sure when but 13 highlanders a monster, treasure and mass murder occur as well as a romance of sorts.
Didn't really take to the style of the book

Laird Gavin finds Paige in the mists just like all the others. Will she be the one that helps find the treasure? Paige goes to the highland games in North Carolina and end up in the past in Scotland. Will she die there as a sacrifice to the monster that guards the treasure?

Meh.
starts out intriguing enough. The story is short and stops just as things warm up. Also in the kindle version, it seemed like the book repeated; there was 2 copies. It didn't hold my interest enough buy the rest of the series.

Nice book
Nice book, not nearly as long as implied. You have your choice of reading in 1st person POV or 3rd person POV. For 3rd person, you have to go to the 1/2 way mark and start there. Only a mild cliffhanger, but I don't feel compelled to read the rest of the series.

Fun read
It has everything, comedy, romance, suspense, etc. but, it ends on a cliffhanger so, you are almost forced to buy another book. So, I just assume the full story is a happy ever after and move on, I don’t buy thru manipulation.

Surprisingly good time travel
The heroine seemed a little flakey or daft lol (read the book for the inside joke) but who wouldn't be traveling through time ! Good steamy romance ending good but a twist of unsolved mystery!

Fluff and fru fru
Sorry....not my cup of tea. This was described as a book about time travel. I should have known it was a Harlequin romance in disguise by looking at the cover art . Sometimes, you CAN judge a book by its cover.

Too confusing
It really jumped from one pov. To another. Choppy and the clue thing while a cute idea didn't make much sense. Not for me.
