This series was the first I had picked up by author Andrea Matthews, and I fell in love with it. I’m a sucker for time traveling and historical romance, so this was just the perfect pick for me. This was a thrilling adventure as Will and Maggie thought they could finally settle down in the twentieth century only to find that they have to go back to save their current timelines. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I was sure gripping the edge of my seat until the very end! How can Will and Maggie return to the past to help mend the rip in the fabric of time when they no longer have the stone? Will history be forever altered by their inability to jump back, or will they risk their lives trying to fix it all? I love the way the author created this world and these characters with such depth that it all feels so relatable. I highly recommend picking up this entire series if you enjoy historical romances and time travel!

This is a brilliant series and this book is a great addition to it. I really enjoy reading about these characters and the fantastic journey they have been on. Each time I pick up a new book I can’t decide where I think they might end up or which way the story might go. I simply let myself be taken on the ride. This book I think has to be my favourite so far. The author has done such an amazing job at developing both the story and the characters. The book is well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this book and series.

This is book 4 in this series and now I’m off to read the first 3! I love time travel books and this one kept me locked in. It did take me a few chapters to catch on to who is who and all the connections since I have not read the previous 3 books in the series. Also the language in which it is written slightly threw me off at first but after chapter 2 I had it down. I think this would also be a great audio book to listen to.
Will and Maggie go to the future and have to come back to help Dylan. The question is can they get back? Can they help in the past to keep both worlds from colliding? Can they make it to where the past and future are as it should be?

Wow I was blown away by this series. I couldn’t put it down. I wouldn’t put it down.
Comparable to outlander with traveling back in time heroics and romance! But taking on an entire new thrill of its own. The characters fight to restore the balance and tear is the space of time continuum.
I was on the edge of my seat awaiting the ending and I was not disappointed.
The plot is well maintained and the world building ?! FASCINATING to say the very least. Do you enjoy mystery? Romance ? Historical mixed with present this is the book for you.

It is January 1889 and Jeremy and Emma have just been working on a case which has hit them hard, but as they are trying to recover, they are hit with another which is equally harrowing, so they have to use their combined skills and hope that it is enough to keep them together through the hardship of the investigation, but they have the Pinkerton detectives helping out. As they delve deeper into the investigation and uncover the horrors within it, the dynamic duo are split apart being needed in two different teams and while Jeremy is working one case, Emma finds herself called upon by a trio of families whom she has helped in the past.
In a rapid change of travel plans, Emma reaches out to reassure her family what is happening so that they can keep in contact and not worry like they always do when she is out on her own and so, Emma heads out to familiar ground where she aids three families with a problematic history with one man at its centre. With time constraints and the need to maintain secrecy, Emma works together with the families to solve their predicament and stay safe all at the same time.
When these cases are finally concluding, the family are all reunited under one roof and more than happy to be there where they can catch up on the latest news on the cases in relative safety and comfort and with what has been happening, Jeremy and Emma need this all the more. However, the familial bliss is unexpectedly breached as someone tries their darndest to become its latest member, but will they be able to come between this tight knit group and why do these cases all seem to point to something, or someone from Emma’s past? This is another fast paced mystery where nothing is as it seems and danger lies around every corner, as suspicions rain and the phrase crawling out of the woodwork is bandied around like candy as bonds are tested and relationships stretched to breaking point throughout this addictive read.
In early San Francisco, women are scarce, and attitudes are accepting of just about anything. Amidst this laissez-faire lifestyle, Suzette de Massey blows into the city like wildfire. Isaac Stark and Walter James are instantly drawn to the talented French beauty. Opposite in many ways, the two of them have been the best of friends for years. They owe their lives to one another, and their mutual affection runs deep. Suzette is torn between Walter, whom she thinks is a gentleman, and Isaac, whom she takes to be a roughneck. She has a lot to learn, but she knows what excites her. Men. Together. Suzette kindles the fire that has smoldered between Isaac and Walter for years, and each of them together makes a combustible, passionate threesome. She is a woman with secrets. Unfortunately, when Suzette’s dark past reappears to haunt her, no one is safe. This romance, intended for mature readers, sizzles with passion and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Notebook Mysteries – Suspicions is the 5th book in the series, but it is the first that I read. It is a historical fiction story with a very strong female lead in Emma, a brave and confident woman who works to solve different cases with help from her friends and family. This book is action packed with multiple cases happening at once, and it keeps you on your toes. It brings all of the emotions as you join Emma where the past meets the present and she works to solve crimes and save several kidnapped children. I had no problem following the story, even though I did not read the previous ones, however, I enjoyed it enough to make me want to go back and read all of them right away. I definitely would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good mystery/sleuth story.
This story was amazing and so well written. I was captivated by her story, I couldn’t put the book down. There were so many emotions while reading this, laughing, fear, and worry. This book was honest and raw, you can feel everything described. Amazing book. I can’t wait to check out the authors other books. Don’t miss out on this amazing book, get it right now!

I made the mistake of not reading the earlier books first as initially I didn’t realise this was the fifth book in the series. Although I wish I had read the previous books first, I was still able to enjoy this instalment on its own. The important information was provided so that I didn’t feel like the key elements were lost on me which was great for me.
Emma and Jeremy have a few mysteries to solve so there is never a dull moment as they work to piece everything together, keeping you invested in their investigations and how the cases are affecting them. There are several twists and turns to keep you on your toes and if you love a good mystery, from this book alone I would recommend this series.
The author appears to have done research into the time period and uses that knowledge to paint a vivid picture of the scenes, bringing the setting and characters to life. Emma is a strong character, her bravery and determination to solve cases despite the danger to help those in need is admirable. I think if I go back and read from book one I’ll get a deeper understanding of her development and liking her even more.
I look forward to going back and reading from book one!
Traveling back in time and jet setting from different cities set the tone for this read. The twists and turns it goes through from the investigation itself to the impact it has on the characters, I was drawn in. This book is a must read and keeps you on your toes.

The author really knocks it home with this one! Two previous storylines wrap up in this book. I really like how a former plot that was only so-so resolved, became well and truly resolved. Characters that have previously been on the bench, so to speak, get brought up to bat in this story. The author gives nods to history, with a famous detective agency, as well as bicycles, and the still-new automobiles. This book features a strong female protagonist, and loving family/chosen family bonds.
This is the fourth installment of the series. Please make sure to read all of the books beforehand, as I missed a book, and got lost for a second and had to go back. It worked for a good catchup though, because it made this book so much better! Will and Maggie are trying to adjust in the future after escaping their death. When they find a past item from Dylan asking for help, they know it can’t be good. They must help fox the rent in time. The only problem is they don’t have a way back yet. They then go into their adventure to make it happen. Dylan also has his own problem in the past. It’s a great story that I had to keep reading to finish!

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this historical time travelling romance series, I was looking forward to this novel and I was not disappointed. I recommend reading the books in order as the storyline continues throughout the series. I was excited to be back with Will and Maggie who are now in the twentieth century and with Dylan who is in the sixteenth century. Dylan gets a message to Will and Maggie asking them to return to the past, in order to mend a rent in the fabric of time, however the couple are at risk of altering events in both centuries if they can not return. Unfortunately they no longer have any stone left in the amulet, and so Dylan is left in the past realising that the threads of time have somehow snapped and torn the very fabric itself.
He knows that getting Will and Maggie back could be the only way to mend it, but hates to ask them to put their lives at risk once again and travel back in time. Meanwhile, another time traveller Richie Carnaby has selective amnesia, as there are many parts of his sixteenth century life that he can’t remember, and Will and Maggie wonder if this is connected. The couple try to find a way of returning to the past to repair the tattered fabric, knowing that if they don’t the threads of time will continue to unravel, altering history. As usual this is a fast paced story with a gripping and engaging plot which had me hooked from start to finish. The descriptive narrative along with the added historical details made me feel as though I had been transported back in time, along with the characters. A real page turner which I recommend.

I really enjoyed this 4th book in the series. The twists and turns kept going, along with the complexities of figuring out time travel and how it affects the future, as well as making changes that could literally destroy a family, affecting multiple generations – it’s a lot to wrap your head around and the author does it very well! I have enjoyed following Will and Maggie and the families they have created, whether blood or not, and working their way through the trials and tribulations of the time. Great series and great author!

With Fire and Sword is the Fourth Book in the Thunder on the Moor Series. It centers around the characters of Will, Maggie and Dylan who are in different centuries. Will and Maggie are settling into their new life in the twentieth century while Dylan remains in the sixteenth century. Dylan realizes that something does not seem right and that the threads of time seem to have snapped. He must find a way to contact Will and Maggie and have them return to the sixteenth century and mend the rip in the fabric of time or it will forever alter the events in both centuries. He sends them a message by leaving a note tucked inside a diary in the hopes that they will find it in their present day. When Will and Maggie stumble onto Dylan’s mysterious note they must find a way to travel back in time and help Dylan.
It is up to Will and Maggie to travel back through time to the sixteenth century and repair the rip in the fabric of time or risk the course of history being forever altered. The problem is that the amulet Will And Maggie used for time travel has no stone left in it. How can they possibly travel back in time to help Dylan without the stone in their amulet? If they could get there, what events are they supposed to correct to mend the fabric of time? Is it worth it to risk their lives by travelling back through time?
I loved this book on time travel and was blown away by the storyline, the characters, and the attention to historical details. The descriptions were so vivid that I felt as though I was there with the characters and experiencing events firsthand as they unfolded. The characters were well written and relatable. I became fully engaged in each of their stories and how they would unfold. I loved that Will and Maggie were reading old diaries and looking through historical records. Having that connection to their past was fascinating to me. This book had action, suspense, danger, mystery, intrigue, and of course, time travel. A great read for anyone interested in historical fiction.

Thunder On The Moor: A Time Travel Romance is the first book in the Thunder on the Moor series. This series is ongoing, and I highly recommend reading it in order. I started with the second book and was so glad to go back and read this one. The story is a fun adventure in time, with 20th-century and 16th-century characters merging into one story. I like the main character Maggie. She is from the 20th century and was raised as an independent spirit with adventure in her heart. When she is taken into the past by her father she discovers that the past is just as exciting as her father had told her. I really enjoy the glimpse into the past and how many of the same conflicts echo what we see in the current day. I look forward to seeing what adventures Maggie takes us on in the future books in the series.

Shake Loose the Border is the third book in the Thunder On the Moor series. I recommend reading these books in order because it is an ongoing series. This kept me on the edge of my toes, with lots of action and suspense in the story. Set primarily in the sixteenth century, tensions arise as Will and Maggie’s wedding approaches. Maggie is sent back to the twentieth century for safety purposes. Will Maggie and Will be reunited? As I mentioned, this is packed with action, suspense, and adventure. I couldn’t put it down because I wanted to know how it would end. I already had the fourth book so I knew the story would continue but I had to get some resolution. I look forward to reading the fourth book to see how their story continues.

This time Will and Maggie are getting settled into the 20th century when things start to unravel. After an urgent call for help from the past, can Will and Maggie repair what is torn? I have enjoyed this series, and this installment didn’t disappoint me. I enjoy the time travel aspects and learning more about how all the characters fit into the story. The author must have tons of notes to keep track of the time travel and what each character is aware of. This is a fun read full of adventure and romance. I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is an amazingly compelling, emotional memoir recounting the authors experiences as a teenager living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war in the 90s. I was captivated by her story. The writing style, in her voice, is relatable and easy to read. I was shocked by how relatable she was though from a completely different background from me and the experience of war she recounted; however, this relatability made the story come to life even more and better illustrated the shock of the events that changed her life forever. The story comes to life through the pages and the reader is transported to that time and can’t help but imagine and feel like it is happening to them. This is a riveting coming of age story in unimaginable circumstances. I’m not generally a huge fan of memoirs, but this one is well worth the read!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins is a great mystery/ criminal book series
The Pinkertons and Emma become embroiled in a heartbreaking case in January 1889. Emma and Jeremy struggle to support one another as they go through a difficult and emotionally taxing case that puts both their partnership and their investigative skills to the test. When that one appears stable, Emma, our brave detective, is forced to help three families who have contacted her. A central figure is a man they all know well. These two puzzles have a connection to Emma’s past.
Lastly, at home, a stranger with a troubled background who has infiltrated their small, close-knit family upends her sanctuary in a routine home life. Is he who he seems to be? The solution might lie in favor due. Criminal investigations, action, and adventure!
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique romance story. The story really brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down.
This is an emotional read. I remember the war in Sarajevo – I was a teenager. It made reading this hit close to home. The take on the war from a teens perspective is interesting – having to stay home, often inside without windows and doors open, not being able to see friends and family, wondering where the next meal will come from is not something most teens have had to face. I appreciated the candor and realistic view of this story.

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting By: Nadija Mujagic
This is an amazingly well written memoir about the author’s experiences living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. This book gives the reader a first hand look of what it was like to live during a war. It shows the absolute atrocities that the author faced and saw but it also shows how she did not lose her sense of humor or the fact that she is still a normal teenager with hormones. This book is so much more than a memoir of living during a war. It is really a coming of age story. A tale of how the author found who she was while living in a war. This is a story of persistence, of how hope endures, and all in all I believe that this is a must read for everyone, young and old, because I believe there is something in Nadia’s story that we all can learn from.

In this instalment of this series, Will, Maggie and Dylan return, but they are no longer together, Will and Maggie are in the present and Dylan is in the sixteenth century, but as always on the border, danger is never far away and there is always the risk of attacks and so when things turn bloody, Dylan realises that something is not right and that time is not running as it should. In the present, Will and Maggie are settling into their new lives and Will is realising just how different the two centuries are, so when they decide that they want to connect with those around where they will be living more, they start to open up about their adventures, but there are still surprises in store for the two.
As Will and Maggie spend more and more time together and try to unravel what has been happening since their return, they find a new note in a diary and it puts a swathe of ice cold water down both of their spines, something has happened in the past and Dylan has sent a message through time that they will need to come back to help set things right, but they have no idea how they are going to do it. Meanwhile, Dylan is wracking his brains to figure out how to sort out the mess which has been created around him and as reluctant as he is to bring Will and Maggie back, he knows that it will most likely be the only option, but he has no way of doing it.
This is where a significant part of their joint past comes to try and help in the form of Ritchie Carnaby, a friend of the family who has inadvertently himself managed to find a way to the future for himself and his family, but there are gaps in his memory of events which should be significant, but is it because of the time travel, or is it something to do with the note that Dylan left them and will they be able to find a way to restore the timeline before the future is irrevocably changed? This is another fast paced adventure, where time is of the essence in more ways that one and finding a way to travel back through the centuries seems impossible, will they be able to overcome their adverse challenges and set everything right while staying out of the constant danger which surrounds them, the only way is to follow on with this addictive and engrossing part of this series.

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting (Teenage War Survival Book #1) by Nadija Mujagic is a poignant memoir of life in war-torn Sarajevo. This book is brave, confronting, inspiring, and a testament to the author’s resilience and strength of character to have survived such a horrific situation. Her story is eye-opening and emotive. Reading of all the challenges, violence, frightening situations, trauma, loss, grief, and her strength and bravery as she recounts her experiences made for quite a heart-wrenching read for me. Sprinkled with quiet insights, and a little humour, this proves to be an inspiring tale. A thought-provoking and memorable account of survival and the long-lasting effects of the war on her, and her family… Ms. Mujagic continues her story in “Immigrated” (Book #2)… Well worth the read!

Hephaestus, The God of Fire was a blacksmith and craftsman. This is the story of his life. Being thrown off Mount Olympus twice, once by his mother and once by his father. He did not have a great start to life being rejected. The Sea Witch took him and nursed him to health except for his disfigured leg. As his story progresses you learn how he ended up married to Aphrodite. In a loveless marriage he never really learns what real love is. Quite an interesting story of Greek Mythology.

As a fan of Greek Mythology it was refreshing to get a viewpoint from a Greek God that’s played a pivotal role in Mythology, but often left to the wayside. Their are hundreds if not thousands of different versions Greek myths have been told and this retelling was a great rendition of some truly classic tales. The author as well as the narrator do a fantastic job in breathing life into these classic tales just as Prometheus and Hephaestus breathed life into the clay structures of man.

Will and Maggie are building their new life in the twentieth century. That is until they find a note from Dylan telling them they need to travel back to the sixteenth century and set the fabric of time in order. Meanwhile IN the sixteenth century, Dylan has discovered that time is altering and he needs to somehow contact Will and Maggie to bring them back before events unfold that cannot be undone and will forever change the future. I liked the book, but would probably benefit from reading the previous books in the series.

This is a well-written and poignant memoir of a young-girl’s life in war=torn Sarajevo. It’s a first-person account of the horrors she went through. What a strong young woman. Her story of the run-In with the guys at the tanks and sitting in the basement to try to escape the bombing will sit with me forever now. This is information that is living history. I found this book to be a show of how strong people can be when needed. Being told in first-person POV makes it feel like they are telling it to you personally. A book that I would recommend to others just to get a real person’s view of their experience.

I really enjoyed this story of the Romanov sisters, daughters of Russia’s last tsar. Mostly told from the viewpoint of the eldest sister, Olga, it offers up hope and possibilities in a fictional take on what might have been following their escape during the Russian revolution. While in hiding, the sisters share their aspirations of a better life and the author gives a glimpse of what it might be like dealing with the fear of being discovered and managing the aftermath of loss and suffering.
