I generally don't like time traveling books. But this one was actually enjoyable. And this one seem to keep the historical aspects of the story as close to reading like a historical fiction book.

Time travel with a twist! Enjoyed Maeve Greyson including Mila's Godson Robbie in the time travel adventure rather than just sending her alone. Wonderful story iine, well written. Great characters that are likeable from page 1 on.
I am looking forward to reading Maeve's next book in the series.

Can love change a person's destiny? In this fifth Time to Love a Highlander series, Mila Carthson and her godson, Robbie are sent back into the midst of the Jacobite Rebellion. Fortunately or unfortunately, Mila knows her history as a Scot travel guide and Robbie is a genius who remembers everything. The storm that sends them back in time puts them at the mercy of Chieftain Teague MacDonald, who is a good man and takes them into his clan. Mila tries very hard not to fall for him since she knows his fate. Just know there is betrayal, intrigue, venture, and yes, even death, but whose? I do not give spoilers, so you will need to read to find out what happens to Teague. This may be the fifth in the series, but it is my absolute favorite. The author saved the best for last in my opinion. Although this is a series, the books are not connected except for being time travel set in Scotland. The way the heroine is sent back varies, time period where she lands is a bit different, and how she and her Highlander accept her "strangeness" varies. It all makes for great reads, each and every one.

THE REVIEW

Mila Carthson runs a tour company in Scotland with her godson Robbie. On one of their tours, they are swept away from 21st Scotland to the year 1722. Braced with her knowledge of Scotland and it’s history and Robbie’s incredible mind for math and science, they set out to survive in their new surroundings.

Chieftain Teague MacDonald stumbles upon Mila and Robbie as he is making his way back to his castle. He offers them safety and brings them back with him. While Teague tries to learn more about the strangers and unravel their stories, Mila remembers that Teague is killed for treason within the year! As they get to know each other, feelings develop and they find themselves in love and shortly married. Mila and Teague try to work out a way to save Teague from capture and imminent death.

Some time travel stories frustrate me because the ‘traveler’ spends so much time upset about their circumstances that it takes up most for the book! I appreciated that Robbie has a notion about what happened to them right off the bat and that Mila doesn’t dwell in her misfortune. When she tells Teague about his future, he doesn’t freak out and cast her aside, although he does clam up and leave, leading Mila to panic and run away. But, of course, he goes after her and all is well.

This was a sweet, quick read; just enough adventure and sexy steam to hold my attention. (Some felt a bit cheesy, but Teague was so romantic that I didn’t mind a bit!)

An echo of Outlander, but that's ok. Traveling back in time and saving the love of her life, what is not to like? Enjoyed this one and would recommend.

In the twenty-first century, Mila and her godson, Robbie, run a tourist business giving tours in Scotland. A sudden storm finds them thrown back to 1722. A dangerous time in Scotland with talk of the Cause. Mila remembers her history and Chieftain Teague MacDonald, the man who gave them a home, will be marked a traitor with a horrible death. As Mila and Teague fall in love, she will do whatever it takes to save him. A short history lesson with time travel. I hesitate to read a time travel romance, but I started reading this one and changed my mind.
Mild sex.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Tour guide Mila and her godson Robbie have been on the road for hours with a group of American tourists. They break for lunch and get caught in a rain storm that transports them 300 years in the past.
The first person they encounter is Chieftain Teague MacDonald.
Teague takes Mila and Robbie in and offers them protection.
As Mila gets to know Teague she soon realises that Teague is heading towards an arrest that will end his life.
Can she remember enough about the past to save his life.
Tove a good time travel romance and this one was good.
Milan was a great character, strong and fiercely independent. Mila was very protective of Robbie and worried about him constantly.
Teague was a loveable rogue and the chemistry between Mila and Teague was off the charts.
There are five books in the series and I have read three, this one was by far the best. Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone Who is looking for a light hearted romance.

This is the fifth book of the series, Time to Love a Highlander. I don't typically read a lot of time travel, but Ms Greyson does a great job with this genre and I really enjoy her stories. This one also did not disappoint. The characters were well-developed and interesting and I was easily endeared to them. Mila, a tour guide, and her godson Robbie start their first tour of the season and are traveling in a minibus. The tourists become a bit much, so when they stop for lunch, her and Robbie go off for some much needed peace. When a freak storm hits, they travel back in time to the eighteenth century and meet Chieftain Teague MacDonald, who is drawn to Mila and is determined to protect both her and Robbie. When Mila meets Teague, she feels things she has never before felt and falls for him. But according to the history she has read, she knows Teague will be executed soon. Is it possible she can change history and actually keep him alive?
The story had a bit of mystery which definitely kept me intrigued. There was plenty of action and the romance between Mila and Teague was well-written. A captivating, fast-paced story with great characters that kept me engaged till the end. A wonderful addition to the series!

After Mira and her godson Robbie travel back in time to 18th century Scotland, they settle into a content life with Clan MacDonald. But when Mira realizes that the chief, Teague, is destined to be executed before the end of the year, she becomes determined to avert his fate.

Time travel historical romance is a niche genre that I’ve had very little exposure to. I enjoy straightforward historical romance, but the fish-out-of-water aspect of it, as well as the ever present feeling that it would be incredibly uncomfortable to have to use a castle latrine, has typically turned me away from this subgenre. However, I liked the idea of the time traveler trying to change history, so I decided to pick up this book.

This is the fifth book in this series, but as the books are standalones linked by concept, I found that I could plunge in without any background required. Mila is a tour guide who is often assisted by her clever teenage godson Robbie, who she adopted after the death of her parents. I liked their characters and the bond between them, as well as the complications added by having two people fall back in time together.

I also enjoyed the mystery aspect to the story as Mila rushes to save Teague, who she knows from work is due to be executed by the end of the year as a Jacobite. Though she is able to convince him to give up his treasonous activities, there is a traitor in their midst who seems to want to see Teague dead. I was genuinely surprised by the reveal of this person’s identity, and enjoyed how the author played with the trope of the other woman to achieve this. The ending of this book was more bittersweet than you see in most modern romances, which I also appreciated.

However, I felt that the character of Teague was not as well-defined as that of Mila and Robbie’s – he seemed to be present more as an idealistic romance hero than a complicated, realistic person. While I didn’t dislike him, I didn’t particularly get attached to him. I also thought the romance between Teague and Mila was rather weak, as I didn’t really understand what drew the pair of them together.

Maeve Greyson is great. I absolutely love her work and Saving her Highland Traitor did not disappoint. Fast, strong, entertaining and even sweet at times. A good read. 👍 you will enjoy.
I got an advance copy for an honest review.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Saving Her Highland Traitor is a time travel romance novel involving a 21st century tour guide and an 18th century chieftain.

Mila Carthson and her godson Robbie are transported back in time during a picnic where a sudden storm passes through. They come across a few highlanders who happen to be lead by one Chieftain Teague MacDonald. Fortunately for Mild and Robbie, his weakness weakness is taking in strays.

While Mila cannot confide in Teague her secrets, she knows enough about him that she must save him from his death. There is also no denying their attraction to one another.

Would I recommend this? Yes! There is a bit political intrigue, action, betrayal and romance. So what’s not to like? While it is a part of series, it could be read as a standalone.

Time Travel, Scottish Historical Romance

One moment, Mila and Robbie were giving a tour to some obnoxious tourists, and the next, they were thrown three hundred years into the past. Well, they were having lunch before their lives were turned upside down, but the obnoxious tourists were not too far away until the impossible happened. Now, they found themselves at a time when England and Scotland were at war. Their dress could classify them as witches. They were lucky when Teague found them, but history told that he would be executed. Mila was falling in love with the man. Would she have her heart broken, or would she be able to save Teague from certain death? It would surely take a miracle. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to those who like Scottish historical romance and time travel stories with action, adventure, and intrigue.

Saving Her Highland Traitor by Maeve Greyson is a time travel/Highland romance. Mila Carthson is not the most outgoing of people so when she picks up a load of American ladies with her tour bus, she is already not in the mood. Thankfully she has her godson, Robbie with her. She is his guardian now that his parents have been killed in a car accident. He is really not any more a people person than she is but his private good attitude bolsters her. The women are as bad as they had been warned they would be. It’s finally lunch and Mila and Robbie climb a little higher to eat theirs, ostensibly to look at the weather. While there, a huge wind comes up and blows until the world around them has changed. Robbie is the one to figure out that they have travelled back in time. Soon they are picked up by a Scottish laird and his men who seem determined to protect them. They travel several days to the laird’s castle, a place Mila had been often, although in her time it was in ruins. She slowly falls in love with this man, frightened because she remembers history says he had been executed for treason later that year.

Mila discovered much about love and life in her new situation. She also discovered that these people were not nearly as judgmental about Robbie’s size as they had been in her own time. It was exciting to watch him come into his own, her with people who allowed him to be who he was. She hadn’t realized that Teague announcing to the clan that she was moving into his room with him, meant that they were married. She was thrilled when she discovered that fact. With some help she came to learn that she could not change history, but she had other plans for saving Teague’s life. She was a strong, modern woman who managed to live 500 years ago successfully. The plot was excellent, much better than many time travel romances. The characters were strong, even many of the supporting ones. The book also carried a strong message about making the rules work for you. I enjoyed it.

I was invited to read Saving Her Highland Traitor by Dragonblade, through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #MaeveGreyson #SavingHerHighlandTraitor

A truly moving highland tale. Finding themselves thrown 300 years into the past, Mila and her godson, Robbie must learn to live in a time not their own. They are found by chieftan Teague MacDonald and learn that this clan can not only be trusted but that they will become the family they have lost. Teague & Mila’s story is full of delicious animosity, fierce protectiveness and a remarkable love. Teague quickly learns that Mila is not only strong, she is as fierce as a lioness and will stop at nothing to protect those she loves. Knowing that he is to die within months, she sets out to protect him from any who would stand against him. This story is full of tension, intrigue and of course, passion. Maeve Greyson has a masterful way of writing highlanders that are strong, fearsome leaders but also loyal, and passionate, who love with unmatched strength. A beautiful story to the end.

Twenty-first century tour guide Mila Carthson and her godson Robbie Abernathy are excited to launch their first tour of the season in their brand new minibus. But after hours on the road with tourists who act worse than spoiled toddlers, Mila begins to wonder. They stop for a picnic lunch surrounded by Glencoe’s beauty she gets the group settled, then she and Robbie climb to higher ground for some badly needed peace. While they’re eating, the strangest storm blows in and makes her and Robbie so ill, all they can do is hug it out while the wind and rain batters them. When the weather lifts, everything is different. Not just different, but changed beyond belief. And someone is coming. On horseback. At a thundering, breakneck speed. The last thing eighteenth century Chieftain Teague MacDonald needs is an unforeseen interruption in his interception of the Campbell clan’s favourite whisky. But his greatest weakness is taking in strays. And the longer he is around Mila, the more he wants her and wishes she would let him save her from whatever terrible secret set her and the lad on the run in the first place.
The fifth book in the series & my favourite so far, A very well written page turner, I loved Mila & Teague, the chemistry between them sizzled but she had secrets & as a history buff knew how things were going to play out. So Mila is desperate to change history. A lovely love story with strong characters, the story was fast paced & once things started to unfold I couldn’t put it down. There's secrets, intrigue, betrayal & love. I also loved the sdorable Robbie
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

❤️❤️❤️❤️
💋💋

Excellent and very well written fifth book in this time travel series.

Great characters that really endear themselves to you from the first few chapters .
A great story of Mila who finds herself in the company of highlanders in the Eighteenth Century.
There’s action, passion and love, and a great plot.

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to write a review

Mila Carthson and her godson Robbie are guiding a group disagreeable tourists through the beauty of the Scottish countryside. A picnic lunch will give them a few minutes of peace. Until a most unusual storm changes everything.
Chieftain Teague MacDonald is building up his Clan after the devastating results of Clencoe, mainly by taking in strays and liberating whisky from the Cambells.
This is a historical, timeslip romance. Luckily for our heroine she is a history buff and therefore has some idea about what might happen. It's an exciting and fun filled story with great characters, even the secondary characters are fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
It reads like a stand alone, but is part of a series.
Great fun.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿I loved this story and honestly think it’s the best book of the series! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In the “Time to Love a Highlander” series author Maeve Greyson has introduced us to a wealth of fun characters, unique meet-cutes, romance that defeats time, supporting characters that are unforgettable, historical content sprinkled in the stories, and overall entertaining stories that keep the reader enthralled. I have enjoyed each of the stories in this series, but I loved this story!

Take a trip to Scotland and enjoy getting to know a modern day tour guide and her godson as they set off on a tour they will never forget! Twenty-first century tour guide Mila Carthson and her godson Robbie find themselves trapped with a tour bus full of crotchety crones. Neither of them have any luck at improving the tour, then while enjoying their lunch … far away from the hags, a fierce storm comes out of nowhere, and when Mila and Robbie attempt to right themselves after the storm resolves, they quickly see they are no longer in “their Scotland.” - Before they can even come to terms with this new reality they hear the sounds of hoof beats and quickly find themselves face to face with a group of fierce braw highlanders! From here the story takes off and is an absolute page turner, I found myself flipping through the chapters as fast as possible!

The last thing eighteenth century Chieftain Teague MacDonald needs is an unforeseen interruption in his interception of the Campbell clan’s favorite whisky. But his greatest weakness is taking in strays. Especially comely wenches. And this one is that. Fiery as a freshly lit torch, too. So, even though persecuting the bloody Campbells, smuggling, and quietly strengthening the Jacobite cause keeps him busy, this lovely lass is too tempting to ignore. And the longer he is around her, the more he wants her and wishes she would let him save her from whatever terrible secret set her and the lad on the run in the first place. One way or another, he will win her trust. And with any luck, he will win even more.

As soon as Teague & Mila meet they both feel something pulling them together. I enjoyed how Teague was not afraid to express his feelings, two of my favorite quotes about love & destiny are by him…

“This may be our first meeting in this life, but I feel certain we knew each other well in another.” He gently tipped up her chin and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Do ye not feel the draw? Like the pull of the tides? Or the river’s current?” “Everything happens for a reason,” she whispered. That had been her mother’s, grandmother’s, and great-grandmother’s mantra. “And everything is connected.” His coaxing smile made her heart sigh. He eased closer, his gaze focused on her mouth, and hers on his.”


“I believe our destinies are woven before we are born.” The faintest smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he stared downward. “Our threads, yer soul’s and mine, were chosen to make a strong tapestry that would survive the ripples of time. We are of the same cloth. We were meant to be.” He lifted his gaze to hers and cocked a brow. “Did ye not sense it when we first met?”


Overall I have enjoyed this entire series but I believe Greyson has finished it with a bang!

5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 4 Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥 - come enjoy Scotland both present day & the past! 🦄🏰

Gallantry, Smugglers: Betrayal. Romance:
I have never read a time travel story before. I am a huge fan of Maeve Greyson's writing so I thought I would give it a try. Glad to say I did greatly enjoy the story that is filled with intriguing characters, a thrilling and captivating plot along with much humor.
Mila's and her God son Robbie have been whisked from the 21 first century back to the 18th century where they have the difficult challenge to save Teague from a horrible, predicted death. Falling in love with Teague only made it all the more challenging.
Tense, terrifying ending had me holding my breath on more than one occasion.
Betrayals, romance, manipulation, desirous passion that will melt your heart.
My favorite characters were Teague who was brave, kind, intelligent and the boy Robbie would be considered a genius in that 18th century. It felt good for him grow into a confident young man.
A wonderful heartfelt epilogue finished the story off with a thrilling end.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy for my honest opinion.

This was the best book in this series so far!

I really liked that there wasn't a big focus on trying to get back to modern times after traveling 300 years into the past. The main focus was changing history and preventing death of the Chieftain.

Yes this was a romance between Mila and Teague, but finding out the traitor to the Jacobite cause really propelled the plot. Mila could stand that she knew her love was doomed to die in a few short months so she bravely took action.

It was also nice that godson Robbie time traveled with Mila as well, so there were two people to watch for modern lingo slip ups. So many of the supporting characters really showed their loyalty throughout the book (a lot of selfless servants). The clan/family feel was clear throughout the book and especially at the end (no spoilers of course).

I really have enjoyed how different each time traveling book has been in this series.

Thank you to Dragonblade and Netgalley for providing me a copy of this ARC for my honest review.
