Andee, I remember that one! Enjoyed that series...until # 6 or 7, I think, then I moved on, but the early ones were so entertaining. Hope you enjoy it/them, too.

Be sure and post what you think here (link), if you can. :-)

I just started reading Charming the Highlander by Janet Chapman. So far, so good...

I just finished reading "A Knight in Shining Armor" last week and it was awesome!

It wasn't so much a let down as the hero (Deucalion) from the first two books barely made a cameo in book 3. This is his story but he wasn't even in it.

I just got that as a swap but haven't read it yet.

I am now 100 pages into Swan's Way and really loving this book. I would recommend it to everyone!

I think that was one of my favorite time travel books. I agree that it was unexpected. Having read many time travel books this one was full of twists and turns.

Beth, thanks. No, I haven't. It's good to hear that not all of his books are let downs. I'll have to pick that one up. But there is no doubt he's a good writer.

Wanda - have you ever read "Taken" by Koontz? That particular book was wildly amazing! The ending had me on the edge of my seat! I know he's pretty weird but that is one book I really recommend!

Barbara, Dean Koontz gets you all keyed up hoping for a good ending, but I find he lets you down in the end. He can't carry the story all the way through.

I just finished Dean Koontz's Frankenstein book 3 - Dead and Alive and I didn't enjoy it at all. Totally wacked out and had very little to do with the first two books in the series.

i read "A Knight in Shining Armor" a couple of years ago. i loved it! it's a wonderful book that keeps you on your toes the whole time. every time you think you've guessed the outcome she puts another twist in it. i know you'll really enjoy it. :)

Today I finished Dark Lover about time traveling warriors who fight demons. I think this is book five of the series and IMO the best yet.

Hi Kathrynn! I read that book years ago & absolutely loved it! It really got me going with Jude Deveraux! She has quite a few series style books that I've enjoyed over the years:-)

I'm still reading Leigh Barbour's "Dreams of Chimborazo". It's set in Richmond - modern day and the end of the Civil War. I'm enjoying it. Wish I could read more, but I'm so busy lately.

I also hear Leigh Barbour has another time travel coming out. It has something to do with pirates. I'll pick that one up too.

It's disappointing so many people don't care for the Time Traveler's Wife. Hopefully it will make a better movie than it did a book.

Started "A Knight in Shining Armor" by Jude Deveraux. Hero from 1534 travels forward to 1988--England--and meets distraught heroine crying in a church. I've never read anything by this author before. So far, so good. :-)

This weekend I'm reading Taming the Barbarian, The Magician and Killer Summer.

Oh, I like humor! ; ) I will have to go looking for those books!

The Matrix trilogy is:
1. Knight of a Trillion Stars
2. Rejar
3. Mine to Take

As I understand it they have some futuristic sci-fi elements with heroes who are part of an alien race of shape-shifters. I think the second book actually takes place in the Regency era. They may include some time travel, not sure about that though, and they're are supposed to be quite humorous.

What is the Matrix trilogy?? Is is some kinda SciFi?? Or Time-Travel??

I've read her book, Tonight or Never and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to trying more of her work. I have High Energy & High Intensity as well as a couple of her Matrix trilogy books on my TBR shelf.

I know I have on my page that I am reading "Showdown" by Ted Dekker, but somehow I picked up another book and started reading it...Actually, I got this one at my local $1 store and didn't think it would be good...but it is! Anyone ever read Dara Joy? I am reading her book called "High Energy". It is a very fun read so far!

I'm starting Daring Time by Beth Kery. It's a time-travel!:-)

I ordered that one also. Can't wait to read it. I love Lynn Kurland!

I ordered Lynn Kurland's latest in the McLeod series that tells Zackery's story. She has a series about the McLeods which begins with A Dance Through Time and another series (some of the books aren't time travel) involving the Piagets, who are in Northern England. Both series are entertaining reads.

I have read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and I'm waiting for the final book in that series, if there is one. She takes forever to write one of her Jamie and Clare books.

I'm starting "Master of the Highlands" by Veronica Wolf. It's a time-travel. :-)

I'm on #4, Drums in Autumn, in the Outlander series. I only have 130 more pages to go and love it.

An author that writes time travel that I love is Connie Willis and the books Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog. Doomsday is one of my favorite books of all. Anyone else reading or read these two?

I'm reading "Somewhere in Time" by Barbara Bretton. It's a time-travel! :-)

I'm reading "Temptation Ridge" by Robyn Carr right now. Almost finished. What a wonderful continuation of the Virgin River series. Wonderful. Looking forward to the next one (April 09).

Hey Julie! It's been several years since I read this series and I, too, may have to re-read it very soon.

Such a good series...

I started re-reading Diana Gabaldon's Dragonfly in Amber today. It's been over a decade since I last read it, so I don't remember much of it except the heart-wrenching ending. I hope I haven't forgotten too much of Outlander, since it's been over a year since I re-read it.

Hi Wendy, I haven't read ANYTHING by Hannah, any recommendations. Looking for some new delicious highlanders.

Hi Wendy, I've read quite a few of Hannah Howell's books, too. What was your favorite?

Hi I'm new. I'm in the middle of the Outlander Series, but I love Highlander Books as well. Have you read any of Hanna Howell's books? They are fast reads and kind of fun. I've read most of them and enjoyed getting lost in love with a Highland Hunk.

Now I'm reading "Crossing the Line" by Cat Johnson. Not a time-travel, but a modern romance between a couple serving a tour of duty in Africa.

I'm reading "Ageless" by Suzanne Somers. And enjoying it. If you are interested in talking about this book or others like it, please knock on the door to the Menopause (Women's Health) Group.

It is private due to the very personal nature of the group.

I haven't read a time-travel in a long time and hope to read one soon. I've had too many other books bumping to be read in my TBR pile.

Just started "Palace of the Jaguars" by Betty Womack and thought I'd drop a note here since the group has been kinda quite lately.

Hi, I loved Gibaldon's Outlander series. Drums of Autumn was the last one I finished. Been a highlander junkie ever since. Although not just time travelers.
Lynn Kurland's assorted MacLoeds, Janet Chapman's highlander's in Maine
Any suggestions for more time traveling Scots series? I just started reading Virginia Farmer's " A Blast into the Past" So far it's intriging, about Brian, an American Navy bomb expert, on training in Scotland. He gets blasted back into 1301. Not a series but it's fun so far! I was bummed that I didn't "enjoy" The Time Traveler's wife. I wanted to. Never really connected with the character's, the ending was a relief, frankly I liked the cover art better than the contents. yikes!

So, I'm reading one time-travel/romance, but I AM reading: Kite Runner, which is really good; God is Dead, which is a can't-put-it-down; Seekers, which is kind of slow, but still good; and Outland #4... Drums of Autumn I think it is, which is SUPER good!!!

I'll look for it. Thanks Romance Novel.

Kathrynn - I'm with you I really didn't like The Time Traveler's Wife. It just didn't ring with me. The nature of his time travel didn't work for me, and the ending left me cold. Gosh, didn't mean to be so critical. But really - you should try Replay. Tell me what you think.

Hi Romance Novel,

Welcome! Curious if you had a chance to read The Time-Traveler's Wife and, if so, did you like it?

People seem to go one of two ways: a) loved it b) hated it. I was the latter...sorry to say.

I loved Outlander (the first three in the series were hard to put down). ;-)

I think I've read every conceivable romantic time travel out there. Seriously! My all time favorite being Outlander. I'm a total time travel nut. I recently read a time travel that wasn't a romance that I found very interesting called Replay. It's got a great time travel twist in it.

So far I'm LOVING "Only with a Highlander." I finished the first half last night and had a hard time putting it down to go to bed. I'm very curious to figure out who/what Matt Gregor is!

Have you read all 6?

Beth,

Me too. Me too. I really enjoyed the series, initially, but felt it declined. I was very disappointed in the last one.

But, like you, I feel I need to continue the series because I started it.

I'm going to try the next one, but it may be my last.

We'll see.

I just received Janet Chapman’s “Only with a Highlander” and “Secrets of the Highlander” from booksfree.com and will be starting them soon (#5 and #6 in the series respectively). I feel like that series started out strong but has fizzled out a bit. The last one I read was just okay, but unless I absolutely hated the first book, I can’t NOT finish a series once I’ve started it.

thanks - i'll check it out.

I just finished Lynn Kurland's "With Every Breath" and enjoyed it a lot. It's a modern to 14th century time travel, part of the McLeod series.

well - to tell you the truth, i finished outlander just 2 days ago (loved it!) and it was really my first time travel experience of that magnitude. i plan to continue that whole series, but ist, i'm fitting in some short mysteries - a series by will thomas. the first is called some danger involved. i'm reading the 2nd one now - to kingdom come. they are set in the late 1800's and are very enjoyable - short, good characters and a little dry humor thown in here and there. can anyone recommendanother really good time travel series - not necessarily romance ( not so much my thing) and not vampires ( haven't gotten into those yet...i said yet, so i hope i don't offend any vampire lovers!)
