Beyond The Moors

by Ellie Lynn

Unable to put a friend's disappearance to rest, Jenna Morgan sets out to discover the truth. Instead of a simple hike through a familiar path on the outskirts of town, her journey takes her through unknown territory, opening up in a field in eleventh century Scotland. Forced to join a medieval hunting party, her destiny takes a sharp turn once they cross the moors into highland territory. When an ill lowlander is brought to his keep, Laird Richard Mathieson takes one look at the lovely blonde and knows he's found his future wife. Winning her heart is another matter as she staunchly refuses to accept that he is not her missing friend. But it's the highland way to take a bride when gifted by the Almighty God, and she is truly a gift from the heavens. With obstacles at every turn, including the determined laird and a savage warrior who wants to claim her for his own, survival in ancient times is a lot more difficult than Jenna ever imagined. After a fierce attack, she must decide whether to return to her own time or give up everything she holds dear to stay with the love she has found in the past.

About the author

They always say 'write what you know', so Ellie Lynn started out writing romantic comedy. She's since discovered a love of historical western romances as she channels Gunsmoke and Bonanza, but still writes the occasional contemporary.

These days she calls rural Saskatchewan home with her husband, two incredibly spoiled dogs and Horatio the salamander.

Someone ( gives an annoyed glance sideways ;) ) suggested I should read this. I tried. I really did, but the characters are shallow and the writing immature. I got to 11% before I couldn't take any more. I like novels to have some depth to them.

Meh

All about saving a the damsel from a brute yes she defended herself but I would have liked more to the plot then one bad guy

Boring

Same old story. Childish. Maybe I would have to be younger but it was good too pass time without too much brain.

I love time travel books. Beyond the Moors takes 2 teenagers back to an unknown period in Scottish history through a woodland path somewhere near their unknown present day home, 1 year apart in their travels to the same period. There are some interesting parts when Jenna first arrives and is captured by a laird's warriors and taken to his castle as a gift for the laird. Jenna takes awhile to realize she's traveled through time - although the behavior, appearance and language of her captors makes it obvious Jenna is "no longer in Kansas". I prefer a coherent transition in my time travel books. This one is predictable and ultimately just another love story without any satisfying wrap up, just sappy love at the end. Disappointing.

It was a short little book, I wish there would have been a bit more detail about Aiden going missing, and more detail about the portal, and more clues about who Richard really was. Plus, Jenna never mourned being separated from her family and home life, which is something I think would really tear a 17 year old girl apart.

Time Travel, History, and Romance.

This book I read in one evening. I couldn't lay it down. I am excited to find other books by Ellie Lynn, I think I will try a western romance next.

Surprisingly great!

My first book from Ellie Lynn and I was completely immersed in it. I didn't think it would be so good & keep me reading til the end. I hope to find more books like this one from her. I recommend this book to all who love a great Scottish time-travel novel.

It was ok. No real story to it.
Boy from heroines past and a villain who wants her for his own set in medieval times.
Very predictable.

In the vein of "Outlander" but not as good. Two young adults who end up travelling back in time and end up marrying and happily ever after.
