Wonderful Wonderful Story!
I absolutely loved the characters and storyline so much. Except for the Village Idiot (he shall remain nameless)! Eloise and Jackson found such true happiness. Grandmother Lorraine was just the best and I’m so happy she was living a longer life. This story was so good. I had thought she was back in her time but was thrilled she didn’t go back. Her ex was a jerk and she wasted 7 years with him. I’m also happy that she was writing stories to share every Friday night with her clan. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜😊😊😊😊😊

Eloise and Jackson are a couple that just make you fall for immediately. Call it Magic ! Or perhaps Just a Great Story that Maddie MacKenna has written us.

Eloise is trying to get inspiration for her book. She was suppose to have turned in part of it weeks ago. But with a broken hear holiday season approaching she cant seem to get it written. What she gets instead when she goes to the Clava Cairns is thrown back to 1701. Where they burn witch’s. She is lucky Jackson is who found her on the road and didn’t turn her into the priest. He doesn’t trust her but takes her to his castle to be safe. How do you explain yourself when your from 2016. Thru do share grief it is a hard time of year for him from loss as well. As they gradually get feelings how can that work out when she isn’t safe in this time. I received an arc for a honest review. All her tune travel books have been wonderful

This book was amazing, just wonderful and timeless. Eloise has had her heart broken and has run to the Highlands to nurse her broken heart and hopefully get the pages written for her editor.
Deciding to check out the view before turning in, she comes upon the area she was told about, she stumbles upon a rock formation.
Jackson suddenly sees a woman in the road, speaking oddly and not very sane. He takes her back to his castle to figure out who she is.
This is a wonderful story that keeps you glued to the pages to the end and beyond!

a true love story
Eloise trying to find inspiration and deal with her loss and broken love life goes to Scotland in 2016 only to find herself thrown back in time to 1701. Jackson the Laird of that time and place is also in a low time of the year due to the loss of his parents many years back. They begin a journey together that is a true love story of the ages. Though there is a large obstacle in the way in the manner of the priest…must read the story to see how things turn out for all.

Another wonderful book for Maddie
I always enjoy reading McKenna's books ,, The fantasy and romance That I love to read and books. The characters are always well written well rounded And easily Feel like you know them. The story the stories have a Evil and working through different situations plots.. Most of all they have heart Heroine. In this case the book was a light read an easy evening kind of book. I like how the author took her bad circumstances And with it into a good and wonderful kind of life even though very backward. Couldn't what more from a book and I got it.

Good
A little hard to read at times but I throughly enjoyed this story of going back in time to find the one you love. I can understand Eloise not wanting to return to the year 2016. Even those 1701 was much harder time to live in if you compare it to all the amenities found in 2016, but nothing compares to finding love when you have no one to return to in the year 2016. Love conquers all. I’m happy to know Jackson and Eloise had a happy ending.

Determine Lass
Determined to find a way back to her time, Eloise will do whatever she needs to in order for her to get home to 2016. Falling in love with Jackson, the Laid of the clan, was not part of the plan. Giving the priest who has been burning innocent young girls calling them witches a piece of her mind and a broken nose did much to buster her status at the castle. Fun and interesting reading.

Another hit for MS McKenna
I love the stories of this author, weaved until your immersed in the mystery and intrigue, I am confused as to how many women actually carry their birth control pills in they're bag? I always kept mine in the bathroom cabinet, so it is just a observation, I love the happy endings

This story really had me from the beginning. As time travel romance goes this is a very good story. The story is descriptive along with characters that I connected with. The setting is spot on for that time frame where women were burned at the stake as witches, and I found myself in Eloise corner cheering for her to find happiness.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

This is a well written time travel romance with strong characters in Eloise and Jackson. The author does a great job taking you back to 1701 Scotland and weaves a story of true love. Her scenes are painted perfectly and she delivers a fantastic story. Loved and recommend this book.

His Highland bride, a tremendous success!
This book was a delight! Characters had enough development, hero and heroine were perfectly paired, and the villain caused just enough grief to deserve his inevitable end.
Whoever reads this will be very satisfied!

Great time travel love story
I have enjoyed this story. It is hard to think of going back in time but for Eloise it was a life experience. Jackson found his true love too.

Fascinating
I found the story to be fascinating. There were a few scenes where I just shook my head. But I enjoyed even those scenes.

A book for those who believe in magic and love
I loved the story, though I did wonder if she may have gone back. It was a beautiful love story.

This plot actually wrote itself. A girl from the future loses everything. She gets trapped in a time vortex and sent back to the early 1700's where witches are burned at the stake. Happens to stumble upon the Laird who tries to save all the women the priest tries to burn at the stake. Ah, love is in the air! This story is actually well-written and the characters well-developed, even our anger-filled, woman-hating priest. Rejection leaves a mighty deep mark on small-minded people. Those of us who are wisdom filled, know better and move on with our lives embracing love.
