Kenzie Jacobs is fascinated by the portrait of the roguish Highlander, Black Ben, which hangs in her ancestral home. There’s a mystery surrounding his death, and Kenzie longs to solve it by traveling through time to 17th century Scotland–and perhaps meet the gorgeous laird who haunts her dreams. Black Ben, Laird of Ross has vowed never to marry again. But Kenzie is more potent than whiskey. As … whiskey. As confusing and crazy as she may seem, he can’t get her out of his system. But there’s no way they can ever work, as she does not fit into his plans.
Kenzie has a life to get back to but leaving her favorite, though infuriating, Highlander behind, might be the toughest thing she’ll ever have to do.

This time travel romance will have you salivating and wanting more. Very well written, it’s loaded with suspense and drama. Lots of emotion and it has a nice twist that I did not see coming. Plus, it’s got a handsome Scottish hunk! Well done!
Loved this book,but I love anything Scottish. Great story.
To Save a Savage Scot by Tamara Gill is the second book in the author’s A Time-Traveler’s Highland Love series.
This is Black Ben and Kenzie’s story of finding a new love and finding out the truth of Ben Ross and his disappearance from history.
Kenzie Jacobs is now the proud owner of the Castle Ross and her dreams of fixing it up and making it into what it once was. But when she’s unable find out what happened to Black Ben after the death of his wife she know that she’ll have to travel back to the 17th century to find out what happened. But when she’s faced with a wounded Ben during a battle with his late wife’s family will she stay or go back to the future? Because she knows that her heart is in love with Ben and leaving him to die isn’t what she wants.
Great time travel read. Love the characters and the plot. Enjoyed the story from beginning to end. Kept me interested whether true love would overcome in the end.
I absolutely hate giving a bad review. I’m not an author and I have no talent in developing and executing a story.
That being said, this story was incredibly implausible!
The author asks the reader to believe everyone in seventeenth century Scotland is A-ok with the woman who traveled from 300 years in the future – like it was completely normal.
Furthermore, she announces (with complete nonchalance) that she is a witch… a WITCH… again, this is the 17th century. I’m not buying it.
I was very disappointed in this book because the premise was interesting, I just hate that it was poorly executed.
Oh, and a window cannot be opened a “slither” (seriously WTF???) One could open a window a “sliver”, but never a “slither”. Editors??? Where are you editors??
Wow. We meet up with Black Ben (from book 1 To Conquer a Scot) and he has married Aline. She gives birth but dies in childbirth. Even though Ben Ross didn’t really LOVE her he had feelings for her and is devastated. Kenzie Jacobs (also from book 1) has mastered her travelling through time powers. She sent Abbie back to Aedan and now wants to visit her ancestor Gwen (who is Aedan’s sister and the source of all the powers). Her visit has a hidden agenda. She has bought castle Ross and wants to restore it. She has seen the portrait of Black Ben hanging in her ancestral home (she inherited Gwen and Braxton’s home) and has been quite infatuated with him…think borderline crush.. There is also a mystery behind the destruction of the castle. The legendary Black Ben, Last Laird of Clan Ross disappeared. Along with his newborn and whatever/whoever happened destroyed the castle and the land. Kenzie is determined to solve that mystery. But by not telling her family (Gwen and Braxton) the real reason she is visiting will she endanger herself and others? Also lets not forget, Ben is one mighty hunk. Will Kenzie fall under his spell? This is a great story with a wonderful mystery! Another stunning tale from Tamara Gill!!
I enjoyed this story of time travel with a modern woman and a rough-edged Scot from the past. A love of an historical mystery pulls Kenzie toward Ben through the ages. She walks a fine line between changing history and having the love of her life. There are moments that had tears in my eyes and a few head shakes. It is a fun read.
I received a copy of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
To Save a Savage Scot by Tamara Gill is the second book in the “Time-Traveler’s Highland Love” series. This is the story of Kenzie Jacobs and Black Ben, Laird of Ross. I have read the previous book but feel this can easily be a standalone book.
Kenzie has always been interested in the picture of Black Ben and now has moved forward to buy the Castle Ross. This moves her forward to find out what happened to Ben by going back in time.
Ben is upset after his wife died and lost interest in everything except dulling the pain with drinking and women. There is an instant attraction between Kenzie and Ben but can there be a future for them with her being from the future and Ben never wanting to fall in love.
Exciting story!!
Tamara Gill does it again with her second book in her Time Travel Series. Kenzie Jacobs, our heroine, of present day, lives in her ancestral home with a picture of Highlander, Black Ben on the wall. She has always been intrigued by Black Ben and longs to travel back to Scotland in the 1700’s. When her dreams come true and she does land back in his time, Ben is living up to his name after the death of his wife and child. Can you image someone from the future landing in your time years before she was born? Haven’t we all kind of dreamed of that? Okay I have and I do not think I am unique. But to try to understand each other would seem a little confusing. But as Ben and Kenzie spend time together, an attraction grows but Kenzie feels she needs to get back to her world and time. Can Ben keep her from going back to the 21st century? A wonderful read that will hold your heart as these two strong forces try to make it work. This is part of a series and although I have read the first book and loved it, this can be read as a stand alone. Be prepared to get lost in a story that have you turning the pages!! PS, don’t you love this cover?

Scotland, Present Day 2018
and 1605
Kenzie Jacobs of present day in the 21st century, has inherited the power to time-travel from the future to the past. She has always been obsessed with a portrait that hangs in her ancestral home in Scotland. It is of Black Ben, Laird of Ross of the 17th century. He seems to of disappeared after a fire in her ancestral home, yet no record of his death anywhere. Kenzie would love to solve this mystery, besides seeing the changes of her ancestral home, four hundred years prior to her current time in the 21st century. She is also suspicious of Black Ben’s disappearance with no record of him in history. In addition there is no history of his family lineage and his castle did not survive. It is basically a crumbling mess in pieces. This is the mystery Kenzie wants to solve though she suspects foul play – believing Black Ben was murdered.
A few months after she times travels to Scotland in 1605 where she meets Gwen and Braxton Maclead, her great-great-great too many to count grandparents! It os hilarious as Kenzie is actually older then her ancesters when they meet face to face in 1605.
Black Ben, Laird of Ross is in a horrible state wasting his life away. He left his keep not able to see the looks of sadness and sympathy from his clan. As his young wife died from complications from childbirth. After she had delivered him a healthy son, Black Ben is living with guilt as he never even loved his wife not that she loved him either. So he is basically drinking at this inn which is more of a cheap dirty whorehouse. He is ashamed of his current condition, but not ready to return home yet.
Now it definitely was not love at first sight when they first meet. As Black Ben is a total mess: bad breath, unbathed as his body odor stinks to high heaven, hair is unkept and matted! A big disappointment. Than he gets a high a fever, and nearly dies! Luckily, Kenzie brought some of her 21st century medicines with her that saved Black Ben’s life. Though Kenzie has had a crush on Black Ben since seeing his portrait as a young girl. Now once he was bathed and clean he was absolutely drool worthy from top to bottom! His bulging biceps, dark silky long tresses, sensuous smile and braw sexy scottish brogue. Kenzie kept telling herself as did Ben that no feelings could surface or it would rip her heart out. Ben was trying to get over a wife’s death he never loved, he knew Kenzie was everything he wanted in a woman. Would he ever be able to let her go? Or would it be heartbreak and devastation, once this 21st century beauty returned to her own time?
This is the second book is the fast paced riveting series (A Times Travelers Love). The setting is beautiful, dialogue is amazing, plotting is brilliant and the characters phenomenal. It is filled with adventure, mystery, paranormal, time-travel, suspense, betrayal, devastation, treachery, sorrow, heartbreak, faith, joy, love, Clan war and so much more. A book readers can easily read as a stand alone novel or in series order. As there are characters – from the first book in this series making appearances too. I have read both spectacular books where the author Tamara Gill juat blew me away! Bravo!
I absolutely highly recommend the spectacular book! A novel Scottish Historical Time-Travel readers don’t want to miss.

Kenzie Jacobs is fascinated by a portrait of the roguish Highlander, Black Ben, which hangs in her ancestral home. There’s a mystery surrounding him, and Kenzie longs to solve it by travelling through time to 17th century Scotland and hopefully meet the gorgeous laird who haunts her dreams.
Black Ben, Laird of Ross, suited his dark name more than ever since his wife Aline died in childbirth & he has vowed never to marry again. Kenzie is an intoxicating elixir and even more potent than whisky. Fate has brought them together, and Ben can’t stop Kenzie from returning to her time, though he would do anything except marry her to keep her with him & Kenzie has a life to get back
I was caught up in the story from the start & wanted to find out the mystery surrounding Ben. The characters are very well fleshed, Ben has sunk to an all time low when Kenzie meets him & even seeing him in such a state she’s attracted to him. Ben is also attracted to Kenzie who is so different from all the other women he’s ever met. The pace of the story is very good & I simply wanted to keep reading until I’d finished it. This is the second book in the series but the characters from the first whilst mentioned have no impact on this story. I’m not a lover of time travelling books but I’ve loved both books.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
