Highlander Found (Highlander in Time #1)

Im not a writer. Im not a grammar nazi. However, this book drove me nuts. The book felt like a rushed assignment. The sequencing of the flashbacks felt out of order. There was just so much that didnt make sense. They just accepted her extremely different speech without question? The English Lord who killed Maeve said she had run off, but then comes back and claims he knew she was dead?? Its almost like the author realized what she had done and tried to fix it by bringing the other English Lord in for a witch trial. The plot holes were one thing, but the lack of editing was a whole other monster in itself. Trail and trial, quiet and quite, I can only hope waist for waste was the author trying to make it sound as they spoke. It was as if sentences were edited but she didnt take the extra words out. Some sentences I couldnt make sense of. The biggest issue I had with this book was the editing. The author should have read this transcript front to back and had friends do the same AFTER the editor was finished. This could have possibly eliminated the majority of plot holes and grammar errors. I would like to see the author revise this book.

While the story was a bit predictable, I still found it sweet and charming. I also, however, found the typos annoying and distracting. There were misused of there and their, the instead of he, extra words that made sentences confusing, and correctly spelled, but incorrect words throughout the book. Editor needs to redo this one. Knocking it down one star for the predictability of the story and one star for the terrible editing.

I just was very disappointed in this book…it seemed like it was written by a high school student. No depth of characters, silly situations, and a sad try of duplicating Outlander…save your money!

Jumping all over the place, not edited well…to the point of distraction. Appears modeled after Outlander series. Could not finish it.

Highlander Found by Rebecca Preston (Highlander In Time book #1) I decided to give the book a try when it popped up on my Kindle feed and even though it was a decent book I have to agree with the fact that it needed an editor badly. But given that it\’s a story of Time Travel from present time to the past with Scottish Highlanders I\’d still give it a 4 star rating. Audrina James grew up with a grandfather who loved to tell her about Scotland the land of her ancestors. When she has an unusual dream after a rather trying day as a Trauma ER nurse she goes to the San Francisco National History museum where she is witness to a man stealing the Cotswold Pin which was in her dream. Upon rescuing it she transported back in time to Scotland and everyone knows her by Maeve not Audrina and she\’s be gone for almost a year. But no one believes her story of the future and not being gone. She meets Colin MacClaran her husband who explains that she was taken by a Englishman lord on the evening of her wedding. This is where I had a problem with the taking of brides by the English Lord on their wedding day and I\’ll leave it right there. Yes it\’s real Prima Noctem during Medieval Scotland and I\’ll leave it right there plus this is where the book lost me unfortunately but I did finish it. I\’m still mulling over whether I\’ll read book 2 or not.
