I would give this book negative stars if I could. I hated almost everything about it. The heroine, the storyline, the character development, etc. And lazy research (at best) went into this it seems. I'm aware that time travel is experiencing a surge in popularity again, but that doesn't mean one can just half-ass the research. Especially when considering huge cultural and temporal differences. I don't need complete, 100% historical accuracy in my fiction, but a few aspects just didn't ring true,...

I read this book as part of a Time Travel book club. I am so glad it was suggested in the club because I would not have found it otherwise. It compares to my favorite series ever: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. History, Time Travel, Romance!! Everything I like!!

This is a really great, fast-paced story, which keeps you guessing about the final outcome right up until the last page. The only thing that kept me from awarding five stars to this book was the proliferation of elementary errors of both grammar and vocabulary. Perhaps I should mellow! Maggie McMillan is working on her farm one day in 2012, tidying out the barn, when she accidentally travels back in time to 1622. How does that happen? She simultaneously cuts her hand and touches a bloodstone. Wh...

Here's the thing. I don't like bodice-ripping (or buckskin-ripping) romances. I tend to read all the steamy scenes as, "she kissed his blah blah blah and blahed his blah blah blah." As such, I'm obviously the wrong audience for this book since the first half of the book has far too much "quivering" (x3), "shaking" (x48), and "shivering" (x14) for my tastes. So why did I read it? It was chosen as our book of the month for our time travel book club. Since the time travel in the novel takes the mai...

Well, I’m a sucker for anything involving time travel, but this “time travel romance” was a lot of fun. As an “old guy” I am not the target demographic for this genre. But E.B. is a great storyteller with an excellent sense of pace who always surprised me. I didn’t even know “Time Travel—sub-genre historical-romance was a thing.”Red-headed girl Maggie in our present accidentally time travels back hundreds of years and is captured and/or rescued by Indians as a slave and/or…I’m waiting for the mo...

As this is the first book I have read about 17th century native American Indians, I can only primitively draw comparisons on the movie Dances with Wolves sprinkled with time slip travel and lots of lovemaking. Although I am not this book's target audience, I can thoroughly recommend it if you like time travel romances with plenty of lust and exotic backdrops. The reason I read this was because one, I am a time travel lover, and two, it was voted in our time travel group read book of the month.Fo...

I loved the historical background and found the time-travel elements to be handled very nicely. Enjoyed the romance as well -- the characters are generally believable, although there were a few times that I felt Maggie needed to take a reality pill and recognize that Winn was being amazingly restrained for the era. There were some minor editing issues that pulled me out of the story a few times, but the plot and characters pulled me back in pretty quickly. Looking forward to the next book in the...

What a wonderful , thought provoking , heartfelt story. I highly recommend this book if your a fan of Outlander or Out of TimeThe writing style is so genuine and precise. You are involved with the characters , you love them , you hate them , ultimately you understand their choices decisions and frustration.There are themes of time travel, magic, romance , history and historical battle.Maggie is transported back into the 1600's after she cut her hand on a Bloodstone. A stone of legends.... She is...

Romance books have never been my cup of tea, and this one is no exception. Normally I would not have given this book a try. However, it was selected for our book club in the time travel group, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a go. And I'm glad I did. There was enough historical drama and time travel mystery to keep this book interesting, even for a non-romance reader like me. I will admit that, for me, the second half of the book was much better than the first as there wa...

`Legend of the Bloodstone' written by first time novelist E.B. Brown is an incredible novel that will disappoint few. Promoted as historical romance and romantic fantasy, Ms. Brown's novel offers an adventure that transcends genres, and will appeal to male readers as well as female. The story is fast paced and never stalls given readers a view of early America with dangers around every turn. Set against the backdrop of early Native American life, Ms. Brown's world comes alive with a strong knowl...
