Thunder on the Moor by Andrea Matthews was such an interesting time travel story that I LOVED reading. I personally have been obsessed with books about time travel recently and this one did not disappoint. I became hooked from the very beginning and putting this book down was hard for me, I did not want it to end. Maggie is strong, independent, and overall, just an interesting character. This story is so intriguing it keeps you hooked until the very last page. The author put so many details that you feel like you are there.

Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews is a unique and well written book that had my utterly engrossed the whole way through. I loved how the author has taken the two different times and combined them so easily as if it is done every day. Maggie is such a great character. She is strong and engaging character. It was easy to relate to her and what she was feeling. It was so easy to imagine being in her shoes, going through the experiences that she did. The story itself was well thought out and developed perfectly. It felt like the author took her time to create a great story. As a new author to me I was impressed with her writing style and the overall progression of the book. I am looking forward to reading more from her in the future.

Thunder On The Moor by Andrea Matthews is a historical romance story that has been born from historical events from the 16th century and it is easy to see that Andrea is passionate about it. It makes for an interesting read with time travel and being set in Scotland (as I love Scotland, it is my favourite place from my world travels), but I found the story long, a little tedious at times and slow going. I also found it hard to connect at all times with the main character, Maggie and found myself skimming through the pages. There is plenty of action and danger and interesting facts, as we learn about the life of a Border Reiver, clan wars and the events of that time.

Thunder on the Moor by Andrea Matthews a far-away four-star read. This was my first read by this author and I would like to try them again as I enjoyed the descriptiveness of the story so much, but at times the actual story left me cold. It was very much all or nothing, I was so encapsulated for a couple of chapters and then a chapter that didn’t hold me and took me so long to read, then back to eagerly turning the page, if it was one chapter I would think it was me, but it happened later as well, I felt like if I could chop a couple of bits it would have been five-stars.

Grosse Pointe is my first novel written by Natalie Barnes and really only my second author who writes historical fiction and overalm I thought it was a wonderful story!
It follows Brek O’Brien and his friend Finnegan as they make their journey from their home country of Ireland over to the States. When they make it over they struggle to find work to really get this whole American Dream going for themselves, until one day they run into a man on the street who presents them with an opportunity.
Historical Fiction is a surprise genre I’m never really sure about, but never seems to disappoint, but especially the prohibition age. The stories are so in depth and the characters are some that you can’t help but fall in love with. Thank you for a great story!

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes. I loved this book. Its set in the 1920’s in NYC. Brek and his best friend Finnegan travel overseas to get to the States. Ending up in New York City they struggle day in and day out trying to find work when a man offers them something that seems to good to be true they can’t pass it up. This opportunity sends them to Detroit where they are up to their necks in booze, women and guns, all things illegal especially during prohibition. Finally realizing they have entered a very dark and dangerous world (the Mafia) they are too far in to get out. During the time Brek meets Gabriella and falls madly in love but she doesn’t know that he is up to his eyeballs in illegal activity. Being away from Gabriella, Brek makes it his goal to get back to her and hopefully in one piece. This book is full of danger, romance, mafia and drugs. It will grip you from the start and you will be hard pressed to put it down until you finish. I loved it and can’t wait to read more by this author!
Grosse Pointe is a mafia romance set in the 1920’s, it will keep you on the edge from start to finish. I could not put it down once i started. Set in NYC, irish born Brek is in the mafia when he meets gabriella, they must over come obstacles to be together but can they do it? I won’t give anything away except its like a mafia version of Romeo and Juliet.
Grosse Pointe is the first experience I have had reading Natalie Barnes, but it has me hooked and ready to check out her other works while I wait for more new stuff from her. Grosse Pointe is a vivid and crazy good ride you will take to the year 1926, the streets are alive and crawling with all walks of life during the prohibition era. We are transported to Ellis Island and the bustling city of New York, the beginning of the American Dream for many at the time in our world. I was so excited with how this book literally came to life and popped off my kindle to play out right before my eyes. We get to meet some amazing characters and follow them through a tumultuous time. I like the small nods to a mafia romance, something that was very prevalent at the time and the gangsters really were awesome to read. I am excited to see what will come next from Natalie Barnes!
This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a historical time travel story that is engaging and kept me turning pages. It is a well written story that has characters that I had no issues connecting with. They bring the story to life and made me feel as if I was right there with them. I enjoyed how the author’s details made the story easy to read and easy to keep up with. Maggie was talked into going on an archaeological dig with her father. When she finds herself transported back in time, 450 years, she finds things are just as exciting as her father’s stories. This is where the story starts and was hard to put down. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book. I don’t regret picking up this book and neither will you. This was a great, historical story that I highly recommend.

So once I got used to the writing in this book it got a lot easier to follow that being said the author stays very true (I believe) to the time period that she is writing in. The book is action-packed and fast-paced and I loved the description in the book and how it didn’t slow the action down either. I really liked the scene with Brek and his mum that was really cute.
I really loved Finn! I kind of loved him more than Brek but he was a great character and I really loved his relationship with Hazel, weirdly more than I did with Brek and Gabriella. Regardless though still loved them but Finn and Hazel have my heart.
Honestly, some of this book is so tense and it did get me on the edge of my seat. This was a different kinda book for me and I’m glad I took the chance to read it. Also that ending… I don’t want to say anymore because spoilers. Let’s just say I was slapped in the face…
Irish gentlemen, Italian mobsters, based in the 1920’s with a Romeo and Juliet love tale, what’s not to love? Brek O’Brien isn’t a character you will soon forget and the minute he’s introduced, you can’t help but cheer him on every step of the way. I warn you, if you have anything to do, be prepared to be sucked into this fantastic tale. For once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put this book down. This story will keep you guessing and sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
Thank you Natalie for such a wonderfully written story.

Thunder on the Moor By Andrea Matthews 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Thunder on the Moor by Andrea Matthews. It is a time travel romance that had me hooked from the very beginning. It is a story that includes conflict, romance, family, and danger. I loved the character of Maggie Armstrong. She is an intelligent, independent, feisty, and strong young woman. She follows her father back over four hundred years in the past. What does the future hold for Maggie? Read this book to find out. This story is one that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Maggie’s journey and experiences are interesting and intriguing to read about. I grew to care about Maggie with each chapter that I read. There are also additional characters that are introduced the I enjoyed reading about. The book has such wonderful detail and descriptions of the places that Maggie is in that I felt like I was right there with her. The author does an amazing job of making the story and the characters come alive. I love books that take me to the past and this story is a good example of the reason why. Don’t miss out on a book that is exciting and entertaining. I highly recommend reading it.

This story is a historical romance book. This is my first book by this author and I will be looking up more books by Natalie Barnes. This story is a mafia romance during the prohibition era. I was captivated from the first page until the last page. My emotions went on a wild roller coaster ride. The story is about Brek, a mafia member who met Gabriella, a beautiful young woman. Can Brek and Gabriella be together? What will Brek need to go through to be able to be with Gabriella? Will Gabriella go through everything to be with Brek? I highly recommend this story to fall in love with this mafia romance story.

LOVED this book!! I absolutely adore historical romance and I haven’t found a good one to read for a while so when I came across this I grabbed it and settled down. It had everything I love in a historical romance, romance obviously, but also great characters, wonderful descriptive language, a great setting and great plot. This is also an author who is new to me and I just loved her writing style. I felt like I was right there with the characters, her wonderful detailed writing meant that I was easily able to imagine what I was reading. I love a strong heroine in these kinds of stories and Maggie definitely fulfilled that! She was such a great character to read about. I would absolutely recommend this book and I am really looking forward to more to come from this author in the future!!

This is the story of Brek O’Brien, he is born and raised in Kilkenny, Ireland, but decides to get on a boat to New York City to start a new life. This new life is a start from scratch, he has the clothes on his back, a little bit of money, but no plan or idea what he will do when he gets there apart from, find something to eat, find somewhere to lay his head on a night and then find work.
It is 1926 and this new life involves being on a boat for weeks, a trial in itself to survive, but a friendship is formed through this shared experience. As Brek and his friend arrive in New York City, their next trial is about to begin, they have to pass the entry tests and when this is finally over and done with, they have to face the next round of hardship and find somewhere to stay for the night and work out what the next few days will hold and how carefully they will have to spread their combined wealth.
The prospect of finding work seems to be out of their reach, until a man gives them an offer they can’t refuse in the city of Detroit. As the pair get sucked into a life of booze, pistols and women, they keep the booze and drug supplies flowing by going out on supply and delivery runs, while also keeping the competition in check with his persuaders. It is on one of these days where the competition needs to be reminded of their place when Brek catches sight of a beautiful woman in an outdoor market, his heart and breath are stolen away. This could be the beginning of something beautiful, if only life was as simple as Brek wishes it could be, be with his woman and keep doing his runs.
Soon Brek and his friend realise that the work they accepted is a different sort to what they initially expected it to be, but there seems to be nowhere to escape the bloody path which fate has in store for them. Will the only thing standing between Brek and Gabriella be the one thing which will break them apart? Or will life be as simple as they both would like it to be?
This is a tale of Irish cheek, friendship, love, life, death, disappointment, regret and discovery all set in a background of 1920’s Detroit. A snapshot of an exciting and dangerous life which draws you in until you’re as immersed in the characters’ fates as much as they are.
Better To Have Loved by Christy Nicholas – Review by Gail Guerrero
Four stars
Better to Have Loved was a good read. The story flowed nicely though you do have to get used to the timeframe jumps. I really enjoyed the characters especially Julie. Her adventures and journey through life are interesting. I found the story to be emotional and beautiful. The author really put a lot of thought into this book. The fact that it’s based off her parents makes it even more wonderful. The emotions you will feel will have you sitting up reading all night. The story doesn’t drag on. It’s a very original plot and the author executes it phenomenally. I recommend you pick this up if you’re looking for a smooth read that is beautifully written.

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes was a good 4 star read. This is a historical mafia romance set in the 20’s. It took a bit to get used to the irish dialect. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.
This is Brek’s story, he uses his memories of Gabriella to help him get through some difficult times. We get a mixture of prohibition and mafia danger. When Brek was 15 he traveled to the US, he gets involved in the alcohol and drug scene. The relationship he has with Gabriella is a huge emotional rollercoaster.
Can these two geta HEA?
Overall this was a good read, all of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get danger, mafia and so much more. If you’re looking for a historical romance with Irish dialect this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.
I love historical fiction and this one “had me at hello”. I love the time period we got to visit and loved the layers with the characters and their backgrounds. Throw in the mafia and a romance – coupled with prohibition – you know it’s going to be jam packed with amazing details. My thanks to Barnes for a great book – I truly hope to read more from you very soon!
Better To Have Loved by Christy Nicholas. This story was definitely not what I’ve come to expect from this author and I’ll be honest I loved that! This book is emotional and relatable and so very real. The author captured every single emotion felt in this story. I definitely felt a part of this story, the words just playing out in movie form in my mind. It’s hard to do reviews sometimes because there’s so much I want to say but you don’t want to give anything away or you just can’t find the right words. So I’ll tell you it’s a wonderful story that captured a piece of my heart and you should definitely go add it to you reading list. Four strong stars and highly recommended!

5 Star Better To Have Loved by Christy Nicholas is a beautifully written story that once I started reading I couldn’t stop till I finished. This author has an amazing talent and I absolutely loved this book. My emotions were all over the place as I read about these two characters Kirsten and Julie. Julie’s journey starts in the 60’s as she leaves her current life behind and goes on to follow her dream. Kirsten’s is in the 80’s and follow her as she searches for her father. I don’t want to give away to much. This is a absolute must read and its based off a true story. Find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Grosse Pointe follows an Irishman by the name of Brek as he risks life and limb to be reunited with the love of his life, facing everything from a difficult voyage to America to the pitfalls of crossing members of the mafia. Do the lovers end up together at last, against all odds? You’ll have to read to find out.
I’ve always been a fan of the ‘thrill of the chase,’ whether it is of the assassin or romantic variety. I adore the fact that the story incorporates a bit of both. I also find it so heartwarming to see just how far someone will go for love. However, one of my favorite aspects of the book is the use of culturally and historically appropriate language, including various insults and phrases in Brek’s mother tongue of Gaelic.
This book has a bit of something for everyone, but if you belong to the group of folks that enjoys a good love story with incredibly detailed fighting scenes, I especially recommend it for you.

Nicholas is proving to be an author that cannot be pigeonholed into one genre. I’m more familiar with her fantasy works (which I love) but knew from the synopsis of this book that I would enjoy it. And I was so right. I love the way Nicholas weaves her stories together and makes them feel so real and relatable. This is just a fantastic book. If you are a fan of Nicholas and/or just a fan of really well written tales, this book is a must read.

Better To Have Loved: A True Story by Christy Nicholas was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning, we do shift past to present as well.
This is the journey of Julie through many life adventures and life lessons. When she ends up pregnant she decides to keep the baby. We also get Kirsten’s story (Julie’s daughter) as she tries to find her birth father.
Overall this story pulls you right in. Each of these ladies journeys tug at your heartstrings as you hope for the best. We get adventure, love, loss, mystery and so much more. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing and you feel like you’re right there with them. The author’s note at the end is a must read. Jumping between the two in the story was pretty easy to keep up with. If you’re looking for a great read, 1-click and get started today.

Better to Have Loved by Christy Nicholas is a beautiful story based on true stories of love lost and found. Starting in the ’60s, this follows the story of Julie Jensen and her growth in romance and herself. I will not speak further about the story because I do not want to ruin this for anyone. This is a well-written book and I really enjoyed the historical side of the story. I have read some other books by this author and this is very good and hard to compare to the other stories, I enjoy how she is able to write in different styles depending on the story she is telling. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I am a huge fan of historical romance but I’ve not read much historical fiction from this era so when I saw this story I thought I would take a chance and I really enjoyed it. The authors’ writing was really engaging and the time period was actually really intriguing to read about. I love the plot and the characters. I really felt involved in the characters’ lives and throughout the story I really wanted the best for them. Brek’s life was fascinating and there were so many times where my heart broke for him a little – he found such a great connection with Gabriella, their relationship definitely wasn’t the easiest but it was so genuine I desperately wanted it to work out for them. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from her again in the future.
Every book offers us something new to read. This book offers an insight into the Prohibition era, an era where there was nationwide constitution ban on production, importation and transportation of the alcoholic beverages across US. This is a story about Brek, who decides to travel to America when he was 15. He meets a friend on the ship, and together they embark on new experiences. The book revolves around mafia, drugs and a lot of trouble. It was difficult to read through the language, the slang went over my head many a times. Set in 1926, it is about the gangster life and the troubles they got into because of their life style. A coming of age story, little emotional at times, a good fictional novel which gives an insight into the history of America during the 1920s.
Set in America in 1926, during the prohibition era and the time of, champagne, pistols, gangsters and dolls, this is a wonderfully written historical fiction novel with a mafia romance twist. Main character and Kilkenny bred, Brek O’Brien is mixed up with the Mafia and lives in a world of darkness and this is his story of how he found his light in Gabriella. Told from Brek’s point of view the story unfolds and is told in his dialogue which does take a little while to get used to and this does effect the easy flow of the narrative. However the plot is action packed and moves along at a fast pace and the storyline had me hooked from start to finish. Having left his home in Ireland at a young age to travel to New York, Brek ends up in Detroit, Grosse Pointe. Brek is responsible for ensuring that both alcohol and drugs flow freely even though it’s the era of prohibition and if any trouble crops up its his job to stop it along with friend Finnegan. Brek says himself that his hands are covered in blood and that he’s not afraid of any man only God. His relationship with Gabriella is complicated and their romance takes both them and the reader on an emotional rollercoaster as we follow their journey to love. The couples chemistry really came across in the narrative and I fell in love with both Brek and Gabriella, so much so that they stayed with me long after I had read the last page. Due to the authors wonderfully detailed and descriptive writing I felt totally immersed in Brek and Gabriella’s world, and in the time period of 1926. This was an emotional and engaging story which I definitely recommend.

I love how action-packed this is from start to finish. Brek is a hero in his own right and easy to love from the way he tells the story through his strong accent. He and Gabriella’s chemistry is amazing as I enjoyed being sucked into this era with them. So much has transpired in this one that you’ll feel enthralled in it but I’m such a fan of history, romance and where this one bought me but in a raw dynamic that’s fun and vivid to read.

This was the first book I have read by this author and I did enjoy the story. The characters were well written and the writer was able to write in a way that makes you feel like you are in that era. As is the time there is quite a bit of violence but because of the era it doesnt seem out of place.
The year is 1926. Brek is in a world of drink and drug smuggling and violence on an epic scale. As he searches for his love Gabrielle he has to face loads of ups and downs. Things that push him to breaking point and on the verge of losing his life.
Can he survive to be reunited with his love or will his antics catch up with him in a brutal way.
