Blood & Heather

A Dark BWWM Scottish Highlander Time Travel Romance

By: Naomi Ross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He took everything from her. Now, he'll give his life to protect what's his.

Dr. Kenna Reid is a healer from a future of science and reason. When she’s ripped through time to 17th-century Scotland, her medical knowledge is seen as black magic, and her very existence is a demonic omen to the fierce MacDonald clan.

Ewan MacDonald is the brutal war-leader who captures her. A man of violence and superstition, he is the author of her deepest trauma. But a shocking consequence binds them in a forced marriage, and the man who was her captor becomes her unwilling protector.

When a deadly plague sweeps through the stronghold, only Kenna’s “witchcraft” can save them. But every life she saves pushes her closer to the flames of a witch trial, and every secret she keeps—including the child she now carries—becomes a weapon against her.

Trapped in the past with a man she should despise, Kenna must navigate a treacherous world of clan warfare where her knowledge is both a curse and a shield. And Ewan, haunted by his sins, must choose between his loyalty to his laird and his vow to protect the woman who is his penance, his wife, and his clan’s only hope.

Fans of dark historical romance, gripping time travel, and epic tales of survival will be captivated by this gritty and emotional journey. Blood & Heather is a standalone Scottish Highlander romance with a guaranteed HEA.

it was well

The virtual narration was somewhat confusing because there wasn’t a clear distinction between the two main characters’ voices. Additionally, some points felt overly emphasized or repeated to ensure the message landed, which became a bit distracting at times.

interesting

it definitely didn't go the way I previously expected with a typical time travel Romance story. but it was very interesting. I kind of like the Nuance of it. I felt exhausted for the main characters kind of like how I feel when I watched the Hulk movie and he's being chased the whole time. but I still wanted to know what happens next. also I wish I would have learned more about the main character woman. besides her feeling a duty and desire to help people that's pretty much all I got to understand about her personality. and maybe her story regarding her career. so I feel like character development on her part was a little lacking cuz we don't get a whole picture of her personality

Good but the Narrator

Good read. However, as others have said, it can get confusing because the same virtual voice is used for both female and male characters, making it hard to determine whose pov it is. Message to the author: If you plan to use virtual voice to narrate your books, you need both male and female VV.

Visceral

This story was astounding. The clinical execution of the plot kept my rapt attention. The author drew me into the daunting plight the fmc had to face. It painted a very realistic picture. I hope the author decides to continue this story, I would like to know what happens next!

I liked it

I think she should have stood up for herself way more and stop speaking in terms they will never understand instead spoke more to their understanding and what she explained about her skin and where she is from she should have told the whole clan that as well.

Over all I enjoyed this story. Waiting on book 2… continue the story.
