Thunder On The Moor: A Time Travel Romance Kindle Edition

Maggie Armstrong grew up enchanted by her father’s tales of blood feuds and border raids. In fact, she could have easily fallen for the man portrayed in one particular image in his portrait collection. Yet when her father reveals he was himself an infamous Border reiver, she finds it a bit far-fetched—to say the least—especially when he announces his plans to return to his sixteenth century Scottish home with her in tow. Suspecting it’s just his way of getting her to accompany him on yet another archaeological dig, Maggie agrees to the expedition, only to find herself transported four hundred and fifty years into the past. Though a bit disoriented at first, she discovers her father’s world to be every bit as exciting as his stories, particularly when she’s introduced to Ian Rutherford, the charming son of a neighboring laird. However, when her uncle announces her betrothal to Ian, Maggie’s twentieth-century sensibilities are outraged. She hardly even knows the man. But a refusal of his affections could ignite a blood feud. Maggie’s worlds are colliding. Though she’s found the family she always wanted, the sixteenth century is a dangerous place. Betrayal, treachery, and a tragic murder have her questioning whether she should remain or try to make her way back to her own time. To make matters worse, tensions escalate when she stumbles across Bonnie Will Foster, the dashing young man in her father’s portrait collection, only to learn he is a dreaded Englishman. But could he be the hero she’s always dreamed him to be? Or will his need for revenge against Ian shatter more than her heart?

Andrea Matthews is the pseudonym for Inez Foster, a historian and librarian who loves to read and write and search around for her roots, genealogical speaking. She has a BA in History and an MLS in Library Science, and enjoys the research almost as much as she does writing the story. In fact, many of her ideas come to her while doing casual research or digging into her family history. She is the author of the Thunder on the Moor series set on the 16th century Anglo-Scottish Border, and the Cross of Ciaran series, where a fifteen hundred year old Celt finds himself in the twentieth century. Andrea also writes historical mysteries under the pen name I. M. Foster. Her series A South Shore Mystery is set in the early 1900s on Long Island. Andrea is a member of the Long Island Romance Writers, and the Historical Novel Society.

Really enjoyed. Well planned out and plotted romance. The characters come alive and are easy to love and hate. A story well worth reading. Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Escape Read
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

This is a great read. It's one of those stories that's so vibrant and engrossing that it's like a vacation from the mundane stresses of ordinary life. Maggie is a wonderful character, very relatable, and just the sort of person you'd want to travel back to 16th century Scotland and embark on a great adventure with. And Will is a good match for her, even if their union is anything but straightforward. But the difficulties (and there are plenty of them) -- and seeing how they overcome them -- is what makes the story so much fun.

This book is well-researched and the setting and customs are beautifully described, but not in a way that slows the plot, which is fast-paced and engrossing. The characters were all complete and so skillfully rendered, they were an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Not just the main characters, but ALL of the characters. There's a liveliness and sense of humor to the writing that helped the cast and the setting come to life. I was sorry when I finished it because I was enjoying myself so much.

HIGHLY recommend.

This was a good book. We still have border trouble in places like Russia.
There was a lot of dispute on the borders but Maggie and Will fell in love.

3.0 out of 5 stars A tempting title
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023

I chose this book based on its intriguing title and while the story was good, there was something missing from its development. We begin with three or four main characters in the 1980’s. They travel through time to 16th century Scotland where we meet several more main characters and a few supporting characters. However, two of our 20th century characters pretty much disappear for about three-fourths of the book only to reappear in the final chapters. Perhaps our author has done this on purpose since it is the first book in a series. But, I find it a little disconcerting. Still if you love time travel and Scotland, it is worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good actually !

This is for sure one of the better free ones on kindle . This wasn’t a cheesy slutty story or fluffy cute , it had plenty of action and traveling .

I did get a little tired of the back and forth raides between the clans and we did not get much interaction between Will and Maggie until 72% of the book was finished . And it annoyed me that she didn’t even so much as doubt Ian until almost the VERY end .

This book did make me cry on several occasions in a good way .

I liked this book . Adding this author to my list .

This was a roller coaster ride all the way thru the book. I do not understand why the women in these stories are so stubborn and yes, even stupid! I myself and stubborn but not like these women ! I wanted to smack some sense in Maggie quiet a few times! Anyway, I loved this book and I hope the rest are equally as entertaining !

Thunder On the Moor was the debut novel by Andrea Matthews. It is a descriptive time travel fantasy- with history, adventure, action, discovery, family dynamics, romance, danger, murder, tragedy, betrayal, tension, rivalry, a bit of a love triangle, drama, angst, some suspense, and emotion.
The story is set in Scotland, which the author did a good job of capturing- right down to the dialogue and descriptive elements- as well as crafting all the authentic historical details.
To be honest, though, I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to enjoy this story, as there seems to be a bit of a flood of Scottish ‘time travel’ stories on the market lately. But I can never seem to pass one up when they appear on my recommended book list- so, I took the plunge and grabbed a copy. This may have similar elements to other books in the same genre, but it does have its own unique identity and original details. It did take me a little bit to get into the story and there were times where the story was a little slow going. And I did find it a little hard to connect with the characters, but this my simply be my own high expectations, as plenty of others will probably have no issues- or it may simply be that this is a debut novel and the author is still working things out. Either way, I will be interested to read more of her work in the future.

Thank you, Andrea Matthews.

I enjoyed this story, there was always something happening. I was hoping the dishonest characters would be caught out.
The way this story finished I felt there is more to come.
A first Andrea Matthews story for me and I'll read more.
