The Legend of the Bloodstone Time Walkers Book 1 edition by EB Brown Romance eBooks

This book had potential. As I started it, I was intrigued by the premise of time travel, and by the dynamic between Maggie and Winn. But, the more I read, the more I could not get past Maggie's unwillingness to just get over herself and do what she was told! I get that she's supposed to be this strong, independent woman who can run a farm by herself, but come on! Both Winn and his sister explained to her that in their time (1600s) women were punished for defying the men, and while he allowed her to express herself in the teepee, she had to obey the rules while out in public so that the other warriors didn't demand her to be beaten into submission. But, noooooooo. She just had to defy him at EVERY turn. He was bending over backwards to try and protect her from herself, but she was either too stupid or too prideful to keep her mouth shut! After 40%, I couldn't take it anymore. I like strong, brave females who will stand up for themselves. But, they also have to have enough intelligence and maturity to know when to let things go.

The Legend of the Bloodstone Time Walkers Book 1 edition by EB Brown Romance eBooks Reviews

I've read so much crap lately that this was more than just a delight.

I forgot how I acquired my copy, be it paid or KU, but I finally had a chance to sit down and read the book. I found myself getting lost in not just the history that Brown laced throughout the book, but the characters. I really loved Maggie's steadfast desire to remain headstrong against WInn, and even against the Weroance, in a time when this was rather uncommon.

The characters are well developed and the scenes are vivid. I actually ended up staying way past closing at my local cigar club while reading this on my kindle. Looking forward to see what else Mrs. Brown does with the idea.

The Legend of the Bloodstone is full of complex characters set in a time that is full of conflict. The book chronicles the romance between time traveler, Maggie McMillian and Powhatan warrior, Winkeodhkwet and is set in Jamestown, circa 1622.

Maggie McMillian just lost her last remaining family member, her grandfather. Left alone to deal with her grief, she ventures out to the family dairy barn to keep her mind occupied. While tending to chores, she notices some unique looking stones on the ground. While gathering the stones she cuts herself on one of the rocks. This stone is no ordinary stone, it's a Bloodstone that holds special powers. The stone can send someone back in time.

Maggie is shocked when she wakes up in a time that is not her own surrounded by a Powhatan warrior named Winkeohkwet. Winkeohkwet recognizes Maggie as a "Time Walker" and is torn between his duty to kill all "Time Walkers" or act on his feelings to keep her for himself.

Winkeoehkwet wants to have Maggie as his own, but she struggles with the decision whether to remain in the past with a man who has claimed her heart or return to her own time. Enjoy!

I just loved this book. I found it to be a book that you could really get into, a saga, not just a novella, it took a long time to read and was fascinating. In fact, straight after it, I had to read the second in the series and have only stopped now as I have a few ARCs to read and review. As soon as they are done though, I will be back to this series which was very hard to put down. The whole series will go on my To Be Read Again , to me they are as good as Diana Gabaldon's and Peggy L. Henderson's books and share the same TBRA with both authors as the - to me - three best time travel writers around. I'm less interested in the sex scenes, so I just gloss over them and I found that they didn't spoil anything for me. The sex scenes don't HAVE to be read, we do have the option to turn the page or swipe a finger after all. Pretty easy to do. And they didn't take up a huge amount of the book either. I normally don't like violence in a book, but I understand that it had to be in this book and it fitted right in.
I wanted to like this more, but the action was both too fast and too slow. I never really bonded with either Maggie or Winn. And the characters I did like either disappeared into the ether or were forgotten about.

The mechanics of this was the most interesting part but the author didn't expand on it. Instead the book devolved into cliches and I called several of the twists early on.

Ultimately this book was just okay. So I can only give it three stars.
Starting the book, I was so hopeful of finding a great new time travel series with some good meaty historical detail. But, alas, it is just another romance novel, with one "steamy" sex scene after another. I think the author has the skill to write a really good novel, but clearly she's more interested in writing to the lucrative romance-novel audience. I could even have overlooked the numerous misspellings, wrong-word usages, and dangling modifiers if this were a true historical time travel novel.
This is the first, and will be the last, book by this author that I will read. First, as other reviewers have mentioned, a good proofreader and editor is sorely needed. I can overlook that annoyance when I read a book IF the characters are people that I can care about and connect with, at least on some level. That did not happen here.

The heroine is one of the most unlikable heroines I have come across. She is immature, reckless, irresponsible, demanding, petty, irrational and sometimes cruel to the hero. And downright stupid. The hero was trying to protect her and teach her the ways of his people in their time and place, all the while she's acting with zero common sense or gratitude. I felt no sympathy for her plight at all.

And wow, poor Benjamin (not the hero). My heart went out to him when she treated him the way she did.

I can't believe I wasted my time on this book.
