Very well-written time travel romance book. The characters were developed and likable. It was a story with lots of action, some suspense and a twist as well as a nice romance with steamy sex. The story grabbed my interest right from the start and held it up until the very end. I will be reading more from this author.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this review copy of On Highland Time by Lexi Post.
Full disclosure: I don’t read a lot of romance novels anymore especially paranormal/time-travel so this is probably an unfair review in a lot of ways but I just didn’t GET it.
The entire Time Weavers business model and Diana’s job COULD have been cool but it was explained oddly (everyone lives in her house?) and the entire thing felt rushed. I’m not even sure how they were funded. And then there are huge plot holes like a character’s ability to leave a major hospital after being run through by a sword and on a feeding tube.
As far as the romance goes the entire relationship was rushed and silly. Torr is from 700 years ago and yet he’s the perfect man (except the usual guarded heart and bed hopping) and it’s pretty much insta-lust for the both of them. The sex scenes seem to be pretty much the entire point of this book with just a little sword swinging, bread baking and “who is the traitor” and “who is the disruptor” to break up the monotony. I’m still not sure who either are and I don’t care.
Final review: two stars. Silly and with a side of muddled plot time travel romance.

I initially decided to read this book based on the blurb, the cover wasn't bad either. I generally find the concept of time travel entertaining, and this one didn't disappoint. There is a fair amount of world building which enhanced the story, (though at times bogged it down - not to much though). The heroine and hero were likable, while the other characters added substance to the overall story creating a good read.

I received an e-arc of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This book was an ok read in my opinion. It had some interesting portions and the love scenes were hot but that didn't really make up for the lack of interest I personally had for the characters.
I know it's meant to be a book in a bigger series but I'm not sure I'd be willing to read the others.
If you like books about time travel this might be your style, as for me, it was an ok way to kill a few hours.

Time Weavers, Inc has me hooked!

This book checked off many of my loves in a great story - time travel, mystery, hunky Scottish lairds, strong female lead. I loved the Time Weavers, Inc. story line and how Diana and the other agents can go back in time to fix issues that the disrupters cause to change history back (to where it was). It really makes a person think about how little blips in your life can affect so much else. The author did a good job of setting up the characters and the back stories.

I received a free Advanced Readers Copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I will definitely be purchasing more of the series as it comes out so I can follow the characters and where the story goes from here. I would have loved to learn more about Diana and Torr's future at the end of the book

On Highland Time by Lexi Post was a fun time-traveling historical romance that really hooked me from the get-go. This read had a nice amount of chemistry and build-up between the characters, well-defined world and interesting storyline. Can’t wait for the next one.

An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

This is a time travel story - which goes back to Highland Scotland. I found a bit difficult to get into, but did eventually get pulled into the story and found myself racing through to the end.

Its a romance - so you know there will be a happily ever after, but the road there was not expected. An interesting world was built and I hope for more set in it.

Love, love,love this book! I so didn't want it to end! Time travel is tricky business but Lexi pulled it off. An amazing adventure with love, faith, time traveling women and hunky Scottish Highlanders. You just can't go wrong!

My Opinion:

I totally enjoyed this time traveling trip. One of my favorite shows is set in Scotland (HINT) and it gives you the same vibe but with a different twist. You can't help falling in love with Torr in every page that you read. He's hot, loyal and fierce, just what you want in a sexy scottish man! =)

There is a ton of talk about his muscles - so that was a bit overused. I got it, that he was muscular, didn't need it repeated a hundred times. I also thought that the author could have used some more backstory with TMI. You get some but it just wasn't enough for me. I can see some spin offs of the whole TMI group which I hope there is. Still I liked Diana and Torr.

Diana is sent on a mission to make sure Torr dies in battle in two weeks. What she got was someone that makes her heart stop and she falls in love with him. Totally enjoyed these two. I like both of their characters and personalities and I totally would have done what Diana did! You will have to read and find out how this magical romance begins and ends and all the while you will enjoy the ride. I personally loved the heat between these two. I didn't like over usage of words, and thought it would have been a bit better had the author looked up some of the scottish dialect of that time. There were some words in here, that well, were just not used in that time. BUT, I did enjoy this tale! I would recommend the book for a fun, fast, hot read!

I give this book a 4 of 5 stars!

The whole concept of time travel gives me a headache. Seriously, I have trouble wrapping my mind around it, even though Outlander is my favorite book. Throw in Time Weavers, Disruptors and the like, and I'm almost lost. However, I'm so glad I stuck with it, or else I would have missed a really entertaining story. Once I stopped trying to figure out the logistics, I began to really like these characters.

Torr is one of my favorite type of heroes, a hot Scottish Highland laird. That brogue gets me every time. Diana is the time traveler, who is sent to Torr's time to make sure he dies, else the future will be changed. Oh, dear, that can't be good, especially when she falls for him! I really liked Diana. Though she could take care of herself, she was a sensitive woman. I was glad when she cried........dammit, I was crying, and I didn't want to cry alone!

I had no idea how the author was possibly going to be able to pull off a happy ending, as things were really looking bleak. But pull it off she did! The story was fun and exciting, and the loving was hot. I'm hoping to read more adventures about Diana's "clan".

This was a great story. I felt for Diana in how conflicted she was. Love and duty are very terrible things to decide between. I'm not sure of her choices but I think she chose the best she could. It did make me interested enough to want to read more about these time agents. I hope I get the chance.

Amazing interaction and understanding of nuances of relationships. This story made time travel believable and brought new life to an old trope in romance. Lexi writes her stories from inspiration of classics. The old classics trigger "what if" ideas and she spins them into delightful stories.

This is the start of a series that I'm sure will be named Time Weavers Inc or something to that effect. It is a group the of time travelers who reset history to its proper timeline after the "Disruptors" have tinkered with it that has devastating consequences in the future. Diana Montgomery has gone back to 1306 to make sure Laird Torr MacPherson dies in a battle with Clan Comyn to spur Robert The Bruce to keep England from claiming Scotland. The problem is she falls in love with Torr and can't see him die. Oh dear, what's she gonna do???

Thank you Lexi and Entangled granting me a NetGalley ARC of this book for my honest opinion.

1306, SCOTLAND

The future changes when someone changes the past so Diana Montgomery’s new family has to make sure every every event happens. It basically has the domino effect. As there are disruptors want to change the past!

Time traveler Diana knows better than to make friends or to get romantically involved with any of her subjects in the past. Yet with Laird, Corr MacPherson she just can’t help herself as he is a swoon and drool worthy man any red blooded woman would want! She has the dreaded assignment to make sure he dies in battle. He is a man that protects King Robert the Bruce of Scotland and his clan. Laird Corr MacPherson usual style, normally takes a different woman to his bed every few nights. He has lost many clan members and kin in battle and murder. He only has one brother left and he never expected to become laird of the MacPherson clan. This is his way of never getting attached to any specific lass and love is never even an option in this equation. As to his lovers it is even just an honor to even be asked.

Yet how can a woman who has tried to avoid personal relationships no matter what the cost. A big no no to even make friends with people in the past. Diana is one who never breaks the rules but how can she resist sexy hot blooded Corr MacPherson. An intelligent, braw, kind-hearted, protective laird who loves his family and clan most of all. Yet what if you were assigned to see the one care for most of all dies in battle. As this will save Scotland and keep the rightful King, Robert the Bruce on the throne. Would you allow this to happen or let it all blow out in the window and save the one you care for?

A non-stop exciting time-travel exciting romantic adventure that readers will absolutely be enhralled, captivated and fascinated. The pairing of Diana and Corr is just brilliant. This book has all the elements Scottish romance readers will absolutely love! A delightful twist where the heroine tries to save the hero! I absolutely loved this different, unique and brilliant scenario. I think anyone with a romantic heart will be totally thrilled and very much spellbound.

My first read by the multi talented author, Lexi Post, but I can’t wait for her next novel in this mega supreme series! It as absolutely mind blowing in a fabulous way! I can’t recommend it enough! As the brits say “well done indeed mate”! A definite masterpiece in my opinion.

On Highland Time by Lexi Post

Torr is a highland laird who is supposed to die in a battle, but time travelers have disrupted the past, and changed events, which impacts the present. Diana is sent to the past to make sure he actually dies in battle, so the future can unfold the way it’s supposed to unfold.

I love the premise of this book; the idea is creative and lends itself to many possibilities. I will admit that knowing that Torr had to die in order for the future to unfold normally, dampened my enthusiasm for reading this book somewhat. I couldn’t imagine how the reader was going to get that happy ending... Let me just say that it is possible and is very creatively done without giving away any spoilers.

This book was an entertaining read. I love the way Lexi Post bases the premise for her books on stories from literature. This one is no exception.

Diana faces a tough challenge in infiltrating the MacPherson Clan. Yet, being one of the best agents for Time Weavers Inc has prepared her for anything. Well, at least she thought it had until she meets Torr MacPherson. Determined to find someone changing time and in turn affecting the future, Diana knows she can't afford to be distracted. Will Diana be able to complete her mission or will she lose the man she's falling in love with?

What do you get when you combine a sexy Highlander hero and a time-traveling heroine with plenty of determination to succeed in her mission? Well, the answer is an absolutely fascinating, exciting and captivating read that drew this reader in right from the beginning because the characters were fantastic, the dialogue entertaining and the plot fast-paced and filled with plenty of tension, emotion and tough obstacles for this couple to overcome. The way this story started had me liking the heroine immediately, as it's palpable her mission isn't going to be easy and she can't afford to be distracted. Will she succeed in finding the person she's after?

As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main character back stories and everything these two go through on their journey to happy ever after since they have some seriously tough obstacles to overcome. Will Torr be able to handle what the heroine has been keeping from him? Will the hero give a relationship between them a chance, especially when one of them would have to give up a lot for the pair to be together? Moreover, the heroine is resilient, courageous and I liked how she challenges the hero because she doesn't fall for his charms as easily as the women in his time. I also liked the growing friendships she shares with various secondary characters and that she stands up for herself when it comes to people questioning her every move.

While the hero, he's been through quite a lot in his life and it's understandable why he doesn't do relationships. However, in saying that, I liked his determination to win the heroine over. Certainly, he has confidence in spades and can be quite charming. Will the hero be able to win Diana over? How long will it take for her to finally give in to the intense chemistry that exists between them? Yet, what I liked most of all about the hero was his loyalty to his family and those he believes he has a duty to protect. Will he be able to keep his people safe?

Overall, Ms. Post has delivered a wonderful read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was strong; the romance was hot and had me loving these two together, as the heroine knows what a bad idea getting involved with the hero is, but she gets involved anyway; and the ending left me completely satisfied with how these two come together again after their relationship goes awry. Will the hero be able to handle the decision he makes in order to be with the heroine? Will he be able to handle his new life? I would recommend On Highland Time by Lexi Post, if you enjoy Historical Romance, Time-Travel Romance or books by authors Jennifer Trethewey, Tamara Gill, Barbara Longley and Suzan Tisdale.
