The Legend of the Bloodstone

This historical romance was enjoyable to read. The time warp aspect in the beginning of the story was the means for the protagonist, Maggie, to get into the period of Virginia 1621. While the method of the bloodstone time travel was a bit paranormal or sci-fi 'ish, the majority of the story read more like an historical romance. Maggie is found and protected by the local Native American tribe. Of course, she falls into a deep relationship with Winn, her rescuer. This turns out to be more than the typical love affair. It was refreshing to read about that period from the Tribe's aspect. I believe the author did a great job of working through the research to come to a true understanding of the culture, and write about it in depth. The story show more is suspenseful with many plot surprises, as Maggie and Winn try to understand each other, the differences in their cultures, as they face dangers thrust upon them. The sense of family, belonging and relationship, are topics explored as this young woman grows and becomes an emotionally stronger person. I am looking forward to reading book two. This first book left many avenues the bloodstone trail could continue, and I am very curious what will happen next. Excellent story. show less
