Editorial Reviews:
The slight gravelly tone in veteran performer, James Patrick Cronins voice immediately sends listeners back in time where ones ability to wield a sword goes a little further than navigating a smart phone. In Interloper at Glencoe, Nick is doing his customary hunting for old and rare books, when he finds a book so old and mysterious its color could only be described "as if age was the only thing on it". As Nick soon finds out, the pulsing and warmth he first felt in this mysterious book is only the beginning. With the flip of a page, Nick is flung back in time to a world he could never envision.

Romance, fantasy, a bit of history
This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon.com. Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me, which appear on a timely schedule.
Where to start with reviewing this book... I picked it up (and requested it in part) because it looked a bit like Eireland, which I enjoyed so much earlier in the year. I wasn't feeling all too excited about my other reading options, so this was it.
The beginning is a little slow, but once things get started there's lots of action. The characters are endearing, and I could really feel where things were going with Beth and feel Nick's frustration and worry.
The ending was brilliant. Loved it. The only thing I would have liked to see more of would have been if I could see the life as an epilogue.
The Gaelic and lack of translations (which would have been nice at the end of the book) would have been good to have. I don't know enough about it to comment on the accuracy.
Romance, fantasy, a bit of history - things I'm really enjoying at the moment and want more of and they're all here in this nice book. Tick from me.
I'd say it was suitable for adults and teens alike. There are some references to sex, and some other adult themes (such as the deaths of the clan members), but I feel that those are quite minor points that don't detract from the readability of the novel.
I've given this novel 4 stars, simply because despite being interested in the story, I did pick it up to read, and then put it back down again due to the slow beginning. Other than that, it's really good and warms up to the task of entertaining. I would even consider purchasing a hard copy of it.
I received this free from Librarything in return for a review, but this has in no way influenced my review.
Miss Lee has a nice writing style
I received this book for free to review on Librarything.
Miss Lee has a nice writing style, and a good concept for the story.
I appreciated the first half of the story more than the second half.
When Nick gets tranported back in time to Glencoe, he adapts well. But when Beth comes forward in time, she is like a child. I understand that things would be confusing and different. But for Nick to have to teach her to read and use money or credit cards, it just made me feel as if the woman was now infantile and unable to care for herself.
I gave the book 3 stars for that reason. It seemed to me that it was abit degrading to women
A page turner!
It is strange that I put off reading this book in favor of others in my stack for so long.
