Reunited in the Highlands #1
Saving Her Highlander
She’s found the love of her life… but history says he’s supposed to die.
When passionate Scottish historian Lizzie Ferguson finds herself pulled back in time to the Scottish Highlands in the 15th century, the medieval world that she dedicated her life to studying suddenly becomes all-too-real.
As the heir to his clan, John McEwan is strong, dark, and determined to make his people proud. From the moment Lizzie stumbles upon him, she finds a source of comfort that she never knew she needed. There’s only one problem – a war is brewing with a rival clan, and John is supposed to lose.
Lizzie knows that she shouldn’t mess with history… but she can’t afford to lose John. But even as she meddles with fate, she’s faced with an impossible choice: to try and fit into her strange new life in the Highlands, or to return to the old life empty-handed.
Will the unlikely spark she feels for John blossom into something much deeper? Or will she be forced to leave everything behind?
Saving Her Highlander is the enchanting first novel in the Reunited in the Highlands time travel romance series and can be read as a stand-alone. With all the thrills and chills of a time travel romance set in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, Saving Her Highlander is perfect for readers who want to be whisked away on a riveting historical adventure.

Deceptively high rating. This is a bit of a cookie cutter 'time travel to Scotland' tale. Nevertheless, if a story is well written, even this overused trope can be highly entertaining. In the case of Saving Her Highlander, the problem is simply that the writing is not very good. For example, when telling the reader how Scots in the middle ages saw witches (who they believed only brought trouble) they are said to have been "revered and banished". I expect the word the writer sought was "reviled". Or - "she smiled against his lips, relishing in the kiss". You don't relish IN something. These are a couple of quick examples.
I skimmed much of the book, but at the end I slowed down again and right away a couple of things stood out. Through the entire book the hero, John, has a best friend named Jamie, who plays a major role. He is well known by Lizzy, the heroine. Moments before this scene they are talking to each other at the tent. So, this line had me doing a double take. "Jamie, she called to one of the men on watch". I wondered is this a different random guy on watch, and she happens to know his name? No, this is their best friend. Why not just say, she called out to Jamie, who was on watch.
A few examples of things that didnt make sense: An American lands in 1450, and there is no language barrier. If she could magically go through time, please magically have her understand Gaelic. When she arrived John had her wear a hood to cover her hair because it was so vibrant and red. This was Scotland! The home of red hair. Additionally, the characters from the middle ages often sounded a bit too modern, such as when John's sister says to him 'oh, just drop it'.
I appreciate it takes work to write a book. I know I am being tough on this one. Honestly I feel it's needed to balance all the 5 star reviews. I hope Ms. Wells keeps writing. She might benefit from being part of a writing group where honest feedback and suggestions are shared, so she can grow as a writer.

This is the full book that was originally published as a 5 part serial.
When Lizzie Ferguson travels to Scotland to see where her mum grew up, she goes to the ruined castle. While looking around she falls through a hole and ends up in a secret cursed well in 1452.
John McEwen is the laird’s son happens to be near the well and pulls her out. He is suspicious of her to begin with.
There is a lot of relationship issues that need to be dealt with – both between Lizzie and John as well as John and his father.
This is a lovely clean story and the characters develop as the book progresses.
I enjoyed reading this book.
If you read the prequel Theia first you will understand more about the background of the well that is mentioned in this story.

beautiful clean time travel romance
This story was very sweet and i always enjoy a good Highlander time travel that can be told without a bunch of sex. The only thing I would say that could’ve been elaborated more is the chemistry between the main characters. It was hard for me to believe how they fell in love.

Good story
Very good story, basically similar to Outlander, but a much different time period. I'm anxious to read the next book in the series to see how if progresses. All in all I really like the story.

Great time travel read
I really liked this story. It was a good combination of great characters, interesting storyline, strong women and set up nicely for sequels. I look forward to reading additional books in the series.

Great Time Travel Love story
I enjoyed this book. It was a love story that didn’t have sex in every paragraph. Now I like some of those stories but I also like to make my own mind up about their love.

No se si es lo repetitivo. Siento que es el mismo discurso 🤔 😐 necesitaba que la historia me emocionara más

Poorly written, story doesn't flow, relationships don't make sense. I struggled to keep reading. Any similarities to the exceptional Highland series are entirely coincidental. Get your Highlander fix elsewhere.

Beautiful Love Story Between People From Different Centuries!
by Barbara Kelley
Saving Her Highlander: A Scottish Historical Time Travel Romance is a compilation of 5 shorter continuation stories written by Laura Wells. This novel is a time travel love story between Lizzie Ferguson who is from the year 2002, who falls in a cursed Scottish well and ends up in 1452 Scotland, where she meets and falls in love with John McEwan, who is the son of the McEwan clan's Laird.
It is important that you read the prequel to this series before you read this book. The prequel is titled Theia, and the only way you can read it is by clicking on the link advertising the book. This link can be found in the first few pages of Saving Her Highlander. When you click on the link, it will ask you for your email address. Then all you have to do is go to your email to find the BookFunnel email. Click on the email and choose how you want the story, MOBI of EPUB. It only took me an hour and a half to read Theia. This story will bring to light the secret if the cursed well in the McEwan castle's cellar. The story is excellently written.
Now, back to this review. This book includes many colorful characters and what they are willing to do to save the McEwan clan from being wiped out by a neighboring clan. It shows how traveling back in time can change history for the better. It shows how these characters have physical and indepth psychological feelings for each other. I really love several of the characters in this book: Lizzie Ferguson, John McEwan, John's younger sister Isabel McEwan, and Jamie Campbell are my favorites. I also love Julia. There are a few characters I don't like, such as all the women who are back-biting gossips and bullies who are jealous of Lizzie being escorted around by the Laird's son, when they all want to be with him, instead. I really loved this book and I will read more of Laura Wells' work in the future. I gave this book 5 golden stars, and would have given it many more if allowed.
