Time travel regency romance...
Celia Quinn's business lies in ruins at the hands of Jason West, the latest in a long line of scoundrels. As she seeks to restore her family's livelihood, Celia stumbles upon the Witching Well legend, whose water is said to cause hysteria and psychosis. When a mysterious stranger slips Celia water from the well into her drink, she’s transported to Regency England.
Her timeless adventure spans miles and centuries from modern-day New England to Merlin's Cave in Cornwall, England.

Only Jason West can save her. But Celia and Jason must tread carefully, as what happens in the past can reverberate through the ages. Their lives, hearts, and futures are caught in time’s slippery hands. The Highwayman Incident is the first book in USA Today bestselling author Kristy Tate’s Witching Well series.

Fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander who love time travel and yet enjoy clean and wholesome romance will love the Witching Well series. If you’re looking to be swept away in a Regency romance, read The Highwayman Incident today. But don’t accept water from a stranger, especially when traveling in New England.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015

I loved this book. It was fun to read, the characters were wonderful. You hoped that the guy would get the girl. I can't wait to get the next book. The best part was the writer didn't get hung up on the sex part of the characters, she gave you a hint of what would come or could happen but, she let you imagine it. I liked that. Some writers put so much sex in their writing it almost looses the story line. Not this writer.

A well written love story. I will by more of het books....

This is a fun way to do a time travel book. I actually had read book 2 first so I understood the premise. I do think there are some proofreading issues to be resolved, as well as the use of the wrong name in reference to Mr Bingley of Pride and Prejudice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean Heart-warming Romance
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2015

Even though the setup felt contrived and smacked more than a little of author dream fulfillment (so many people dream they’ve been transported into a Jane Austin movie), the story beautifully unfolded, bringing to life both Celia and Jason and Regency England around them right out of a BBC dramatization. Though there were points where my suspension of disbelief was exceeded (like Jason being able to do the Regency dances without looking like he had two left feet, even with watching tons of Regency movies doesn’t make it so you can do the dance numbers-I would know. And him being able to ride a horse wasn’t explained off either. I made me wonder if the author had originally intended for him to be from that time period, but then the story would have read too much like Lost in Austin and looked far more like wish fulfillment). It did feel by the numbers as if the author had asked what should happen in a Regency Romance and plugged in a ball, a horse ride with the hero, a rescue of sailors (like in Poldark), a sickness, a gentleman lord with a very large mansion in the country, and all the dresses. And, yes, it felt too contrived their being able to go from past to present and back to past again. But the romance between Celia and Jason felt genuine and grew gradually enough without the characters feeling too pushed around and into the relationship. And I adored that this story didn’t have all the sex that’s so prevalent in this genre. I was honestly surprised when I didn’t run across a single sex scene and totally admired that it stayed clean. The sex in books nowadays just feels cheap and like it’s trying to attract readers with sex appeal alone rather than on the strength of the writing. I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a heart-warming romance that looks like a BBC Regency drama, but with an accessible modern viewpoint. So, would I consider reading more by this author? Yes, you bet I would!

4.0 out of 5 stars THE HIGHWAYMAN INCIDENT: A Novella by Eloise Alden (The Witching Well Book #1)
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022
Verified Purchase
I actually liked this book much more than I expected to even though it surely was not perfect. There were a lot more typos than I prefer and I was left with a couple of questions regarding the "traveling" as well. It honestly seemed more like dream-traveling to me, although even in that state their trips through time (to Regency England) sometimes have repercussions that extend to their modern day life.

It's also more or less an enemies-to-lovers romance, which I'm not usually a fan of. Any animosity was really only on Celia's part however, but this often made it difficult for me to like her. She did indeed grow on me as the story progressed though, and Jason I loved right from the start. Their love story is clean with plenty of kisses but nothing to offend anyone except maybe some very mild language. And although it honestly felt more like a romance for young adults, I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

It was definitely full of action and adventure too, and never for one second was I bored or tempted to put it down as I am with so many other stories I read. There was a nice set-up for Celia's friend Becca too, whose book is up next I believe and i'm looking forward to reading 😊

Length: The story itself ended at the 88% mark on page 155 and location 2258.

The Highwayman Incident was the very 1st paranormal/time-travel book I read...received as a free Ereader Ebook Deal...but from page 1 I was hooked! This tale had it all: time-travel, romance, conflict, resolution - - everything that keeps a reader's interest, and did so at the perfect pace for me. This is one author who excites me when I learn she has new books available!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor writing with little detail.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015

Plot was contrived and writing was poor. Two people who can't get along are pulled back in time to save their ancestors and then fall madly in love. Dialogue is weak and opportunities to expand on situational details or characters backgrounds (and reasons for conflict) are never explored. As someone who has read many romances, it is not the fairly predictable plot arc that keeps the reader coming back, but the authors ability to make the characters come alive. Not worth the read.

First time reader of Kristy Tate and found and interesting paranormal adventure. The Witchy Well was not easily found but oh all the adventure after accidentally failing in the water and drinking some by mistake. Transported 300 years into the past and back to their very beginnings. Good clean tale and enjoyable.

While the story has a sense of inevitability of a happy ending the path to that ending is fun. The need to turn pages and continue the adventure is compelling. A short but charming read.
