*Night Owl Reviews Top Pick - 5 Stars* Rescuing the man tied to a tree seemed like a rational decision. Claire is a smart, capable bookkeeper who happens to work at a martial arts academy. She has no idea the door she walked through to save the bound man would leave her trapped in 13th century Scotland. She is unable to regret the night of passion shared with Ian, even though it happened with the threat of death just outside the door. She pretends to be content with Ian's friendship, knowing his people must come first. Compelled by honor and tormented by desire, is being his woman, while he marries another, enough?

Ian, Laird of the Draig Clan, is a man trapped by fate. Forced by necessity to marry a woman he has never met, her dowry is essential to save his clan. However, he is in love with the woman who saved his life and then spent one night in his arms. Duty prevents Ian from being able to marry Claire as custom, honor, and his heart demand. Drawn to her, believing they share the same desires and dreams in life, he finally offers her the only option available, a place by his side and in his bed.

Claire and Ian are bound together in love and then ripped apart by deception and a plot to destroy the Draig clan. Facing the final battle alone and unarmed, Claire saves them all. The ultimate challenge is forgiving Ian for sending her away. a stand-alone novel

Editorial Reviews

Review

Night Owl Reviews Top Pick:This time traveling historical romance isnot like any other I've read. It has passion, deceit, arranged marriage and unexpected pregnancy. All great things in any romance. However,this one has more twists and turns than you could ever expect; all totake care of the clan. Claire is a modern woman who ends up in the dark ages. Her strength quickly comes across and you know she won't be apush over. Ian isn't as easy to read. His heart is torn between hisclan and Claire. Each understands duty and that understanding will mean heartbreak. This story is broke down into three sections. Each flowsinto the next but they also mark a change within the story. This alsomeans these are great places to take a break, if you can put this bookdown. While I was expecting to have the normal shock of time travel and the disbelief that normally occurs, I was pleasantly surprised on howthis book dealt with it. Apparently there was someone earlier who camefrom the future and the stories are still passed down within the clan.Nice twist and one I wasn't expecting but now it has me wondering ifthere is an earlier book about this clan. This is a fantastic story and I really enjoyed it.
Claire was out with her best friendcelebrating. However, where her best friend will pick up a guy for thenight, this isn't Claire's thing so Claire is heading home. She doesn't go far when she is assaulted. Her martial arts training comes intoplay and Claire easily takes care of her attacker but when she looksaround she see a man tied to a tree in the light of morning.Considering it is the middle of the night, Claire is confused but shecan't let that man just sit there. Surely, she can go release him andthen return to where she started.

Night Owl Reviews Top Pick for:

The Draig's Choice - The Draig's Woman - Time of the Draig - The Draig's Wife

5 stars for The Draig's Wife from The Romance Reviews

Lisa began writing after reading yet another romance novel where the heroine needed a man to rescue her from physical harm. While a firm believer in the strong alpha-male in any story, she wondered what would happen if that hero met a woman who was able to take care of herself physically. Based on skills acquired from her years of Tae Kwon Do training and mixing in time travel, her multi-award-winning debut novel, The Draig's Woman, was born.

Chronological order:

Time of the Draig explains the "how" of time travel occurring within the continuing series. This book takes place before The Draig's Women. Read the books in any order. The series is crafted to allow each book to stand alone.

The Draig's Woman - Multi-award-winning debut release. Claire rescues Ian, Laird of the Draig clan, only to become trapped in his time. Can their love survive his need to marry another and the danger facing the clan?

The Draig's Choice - Love and fate defy Robert the Bruce

The Draig's Wife - Declan needs a wife to secure his title and lands. Trapped in his time, Emma has no intention of being a wife of necessity.

Coming soon: The First Draig: Escaping the Dragon God was only the beginning

Lisa lives in the Chicago suburbs and is married to her high school sweetheart. They have two amazing children and a very spoiled dog.

This book is one that I would read again...and again.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017

An excellent time travel story about a modern woman with modern thoughts (Claire) being transported to 13th Century Scotland through a door that miraculously appears when danger is afoot for her. She transports to a man (Ian) tied to a tree, his life she saves due to her knowledge of martial arts. As they travel together on his horse, the men after Ian almost catch them. They stop at an inn where she again saves his life, covering him in intimacy so that the men can't see him. But as they are together, Ian can't seem to get enough of Claire, and they make love...a bind he feels makes them bound together in marriage.

He brings her to the Draig keep, and he does keep her, giving her everything she could ever want. Until he has to send her away in order to pay his past taxes and debts. As she rides away, little does either one know that she will save his life yet again, and those of the keep that she has grown to love.

Excellent writing, very few spelling mistakes, and an excellent story. I highly recommend this book. Although the heroine's name is the same as the heroine's name in the Outlander, and both are time travel stories, the two couldn't be further apart from each other. Both have strong, outspoken females, and both have the strong men of the time...but this one shows the vulnerability of a man brought to his knees by a strong woman. Ian would do anything for her, and when his hands are tied (figuratively), he has no choice but to let her go. And in this story, she can't ever go back to her own time. And, I think she is ok with that knowledge.

This book is one that I would read again...and again.

I downloaded The Draig's Woman, the first book of the Draig Clan series, as a free book from Amazon. While not a huge fan of time travel stories, I liked the blurb so decided to give the author a try. Good characters and I enjoyed the story. Glad I picked it up.

Ian & Claire

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022

I loved Ian and Claire’s story. She didn’t take sh*y from anyone! Being very well trained in Tae Kwon Do made her very self sufficient in a world where women were not the warriors. I loved that she kept saving Ian from horrible fates. On top of all that she was smart as well. Ian was very lucky that she accepted him in the end. Great read! Had my attention the whole way through. I will definitely read more books by this author.

A well written romance featuring a strong female character

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

Finally, a well written, historical romance featuring a strong, independent complex woman.. The central figure Claire is a modern day woman, an account by day and a student of martial arts by night who walks through a portal and gets transported a 1,000 plus years into the past. In the first few pages the action starts immediately as Claire saves Ian Laird of the Draig clan from being murdered by his adversaries. I won't give anything away but Claire uses both her martial arts skills and her accounting skills to beat back the baddies. I'm not used to books in this genre being so well written. In less skilled hands Claire and Ian would be cardboard cut outs but Lisa Dawn Wadler creates three dimensional characters and more importantly a strong female character. The book is action filled and well paced with the right amount of steamy sex scenes. My only disappointment is that I don't have another book that continues Claire and Ian's saga.

Outlander Junior

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2018

Lisa Dawn Wadler’s “The Draig’s Woman” is kind of like “Outlander” Junior. We have a heroine named Claire, who travels back hundreds of years in time to fall into the arms of a ruggedly handsome Scotsman (here he’s Ian, not Jamie).

That’s about all that’s similar, though. Ian is not the brightest crayon in the box. Instead of “Outlander’s” dramatic plot twists, however, this story is driven basically by Ian’s clumsy handling of his money. For unknown reasons, Ian’s somehow managed to bankrupt his clan and owes a ton of back taxes. Since he apparently lacks to wherewithal to come up with the money via other more productive means (ie I dunno, maybe a job, industry, checking out all the other stuff I own to see if I can squeeze money out of it?), he makes a pact with this other clan chief to marry his daughter. En route home from his betrothal arrangements, he’s beset by a gang of unknown bad people who tie him up to a tree and leave him there. Claire literally takes a step back time, unties him, then karate kicks the crap out of the gang when they come back for Ian.

Claire and Ian run off together and, well, sparks fly, I guess. I kind of didn’t buy it though, because if I accidentally stepped back into the 1300’s, I’d be more worried about finding my way back home than necking with a sexy 1300’s Highlander who is probably a little stinky. But I dunno, I’ve never traveled back in time, so who am I to talk? I just know that I really love electricity and modern plumbing, but that’s just me.

Ian tells Claire that they belong with each other, but Claire reminds him of his marriage pact, which is necessary to save his people. This happens a few times, and when Claire gives in and decides she’ll settle for being his mistress, Ian kicks her out. And through all this, Claire just accepts that she’s stuck in the past and will never surf the internet ever again. She only gets a little upset when her only hair tie breaks (insert palms up shrugging girl she emoji).

Lots of other things happen. Mostly because of Ian’s mishandling of money. If you read my reviews, you’ll know that I only read stories with happy endings. So there you have it. Left out a lot of details but you get the gist.

Three stars because I finished the story and the writing/pacing wasn’t bad.

I really enjoyed the heroine

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2016

I was hooked from the very first page and that emotion continued all the way through the book. I really enjoyed the heroine, Claire . . . a strong,
passionate woman dealing with a time and place totally foreign to her. She handles herself in a way that we hope we would all exhibit in similar circumstances . The story has all the ingredients -- passion, adventure, treachery and suspense to keep you up reading long past your bedtime. I recommend that you make yourself a cup of tea (or hot chocolate or a glass of wine) and find a spot where you can just enjoy.

I certainly hope that there will be more books to read from this author -- and soon!

A really good easy read

A typical highland clan story with an added twist of time travel. Claire is drawn into the past when she sees Ian (the Laird of the Draigs clan) tied to a tree. Her instinct is to set him free, and this triggers her journey into the past & a new life. It is not uneventful & her martial arts skills certainly come in handy as do her accountancy skills. She has many adventures along the way and is caught up in skirmishes & intrigue as she helps to save the clan. Well worth a read & I'm now keen to start book 2.

Fluffy, but entertaining

Reviewed in Canada on September 10, 2016

Its been a while since I've read a book about time travel, or a historical Scottish romance for that matter. Both are genres I have enjoyed previously, and since this was free, I figured "why not"? All in all, I found this story quite entertaining, and an easy way to pass some time......
First, I would warn that this is what I would describe as a "fluffy" book about time travel. If you are hoping for something along the lines of Outlander (by Diana Gabaldon), you are going to be very disappointed. This is not a story steeped in historically accurate details, nor is it filled with vivid descriptions of life in Medieval Scotland. The setting for this story is vague and fairly generic, which was a bit of a let down for me, but not a deal breaker. This was different from similar time travel books, in that the heroine actually chose to go back in time by walking through the "doorway"....not that she realized that of course.
I don't want to give too much away, so I will just share my overall thoughts.....
I was unsure I would even finish this book at first. I found Ian to be a disappointing hero, and Claire's inner monologues were tedious at best....let's just say I was doing a lot of eyeball rolling in the beginning. However, as the story progressed (and I decided to overlook certain aspects) I soon found myself sucked in to a story that combined plenty of drama, action, and intrigue, with a sweet, and sexy romance. The plot was not complicated, and it certainly had some weaknesses, but it was interesting enough to hold my attention and, overall, I found it entertaining. Claire, was a capable, (mostly) independent heroine, and I really liked that instead of needing to be saved, she was often the one doing the rescuing. Ian, was an interesting "hero". He was often incredibly sweet, but also obtuse at times, and very prone to screwing up. As for the supporting cast, they were quite likeable and I enjoyed spending time with them. Despite its shortcomings, I liked this book enough that I may buy the sequel..... If you enjoy this genre, and are looking for an easy read, then I would recommend you give this book a try.

I'm very wary of time travel in Scotland novels as I've no wish to read a poor copy of a Outlander. This was a great read though and in no way a copycat.
