Evy Rivera is tough, feisty, and untamed. She's been building custom bikes for years, holding her own against strong men and hostile environments.

When a sudden summer storm throws her backward in time, she'll have to use that feisty attitude against the Roman warrior who's been tasked to aid her mission.

Together, they'll learn the challenges of her weapons--colored lightning that she can wield against his swords, turning her as deadly as she is stubborn.

Together, they'll plan a mission against the farmer sabotaging his missions and holding his army at bay, risking their lives in the process.

Together, they'll fight the growing attraction that sparks between them like lightning, questioning every rule they've used to guard their hearts.

~ ~ ~ ~ Tesla's Time Travelers ~ ~ ~ ~
Nikola Tesla’s time machine is no secret.

But what of his time-travelers? Men and women hand-selected and meticulously trained to alter history and save mankind. Again and again and again.

Evy Rivera is one, as is her father and his father before.

Too bad she didn’t know until yesterday.

Now, Evy must come to grips with being mankind’s guardian while learning the craft of traveling through time via white-hot bolts of lightning. Following orders has never been her strong suit and with a jerkface tutor, she’ll be lucky to survive her first alteration: the assassination of a Spanish legend.

Lightning Rider is the first book in the Tesla Time Travelers series--stories full of action, adventure, and a romance that spans centuries.

Book 2, Shadow Boxer, sends Evy to 1900s New York City to meet the man behind the name.
...If she can keep him alive long enough.

Book 3, Storm Front, turns everything on its head as Evy must come to grips with the loss of her lightning. Who is she without it? Was it all a lie?

Book 4, Anchor, gives Evy the single things she's wanted since she learned she was a time traveler--a day off. But she should know by now that gifts from her mentor never come without a cost.

Review

"Now THAT is how you write a kick-ass Heroine!!" --Amazon Reviewer
"Constantine is the Roman version of Gabaldon's Jamie Fraser. Hot and Raw!" --Goodreads Reviewer
"The time travel aspects are cool. Evy's time in ancient Spain and with Constantine is well worth reading." --Jeffrey Wendler, The Examiner
"Evy Rivera is fierce and self-assured--anyone who picks up this book will root for her from start to finish. Meticulously researched and well-executed." -- InD'Tale Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent specimen of time travel romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2016

This is the first story told in first person, present tense that I've ever truly liked, and I've tried a number of them. Evy is an incredible character full of life and fire, vulnerability and sass. Constantine is a fantastic foil for her and the rest of the supporting cast holds up their end. The time travel makes sense, which is a daunting feat.

The romance surprised me at first, then it felt very natural. Masterfully handled and bittersweet, I can't wait for the chance to dive into the second book.

Although I think this book is awesome, I suspect it will appeal to women more than men. If you like sassy female narrators, though, you'll like this book.

Evy's a strong woman with a stronger temper, and a weak spot for the wrong men. Heading to her parents' house after the latest romantic disaster, she gets caught up in a lightning storm, but, more than the danger of riding a motorcycle in the storm, she finds she sheds lightning and can shape it into weapons.

Unnerved by the experience, she discovers that it isn't just that she can control lightning the same as all the men in her father's side of the family and use lightning as a weapon, but she can use it to time travel.

She's the first woman lightning rider ever, snd she is quickly caught up in a web of intrigue around these "lightning riders" who time travel and are charged with acting to enhance or subvert the timeline, and those who act as handlers.

Evy's the first woman lightning rider and discovers there's a prophecy about her just as she discovers a moment in ancient Spain that must be changed in order to save the world as we know it. She had no idea how to do it and the family handler isn't interested in her until she gets in his way

Evy must rein in her temper long enough to do the job--with the help of a hunky Roman soldier--all while playing a dangerous double game.

The story is interesting. Evy never did what I wanted her to, never made the choices that I thought were the easiest, and I would have fallen all over my sword to get kissed by the hunk earlier than she did. But this was her story and I kept reading to see how she would keep from getting her bacon fried by her stubborness.

The romance between Evy and the hunky soldier practically sizzles the edges of the pages, and I totally enjoyed it when she got what they both wanted.

Okay, this story has tonnes of possibilities, I'll say that from the off. While technically/grammatically well done I must say I'm a tad disappointed by the protagonist.There's a bit too long on the relationship that apparently ignites things in the story arch. I will be re - reading for more clarity, but all I can give this is 3 stars and a better than average recommendation for the youth crowd who will better relate to this. I do hope to see growth if this is a series. This authoress has much potential, a grand imagination and lots of canon to work with. I look forward to her future endeavours and how she builds from this story arch on...

5.0 out of 5 stars An unexpected treat

I wasn't expecting such an interesting and imaginative story from a free book. But I honestly loved it.
The main character Evy, is a tough cookie, an independent woman, who finds out she has an amazing ability to time travel and call lightening. She travels to ancient Spain and has to help shape the future. All while learning about herself, her abilities and trying not to fall in love the a Roman warrior, Constantine.
The characters are well thought out, and their interactions genuine.
Evy's internal dialogues are amusing and spot on for a young woman who is finding herself.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accomplished and engaging urban fantasy!!! 4 stars!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2014
Verified Purchase
I admit I didn't want to read this because the whole lightning thing and the time travel thing didn't appeal to me at all. When you can read demons, wolves and vamps often authors try and come up with a different spin and it all gets a little too weird or fails in the execution. Not the case here, this is the best non mainstream kindle urban fantasy that I have read in a few months. The characters are great and very relatable, Evy reminds me a lot of Mercy Thompson. The love interest is hot but not distracting from the overall plot (its definitely UF rather than romance) and the book is well written and very readable.

Why I don't rate it higher than a 4 - I personally got a little bogged down in the middle in the 'technical' explanation of lightning riding and associated 'alterations'. This could be either because this kind of detail isn't my thing or it could be because it made the middle of the book run slow. Having said all that, this writer has strong potential and if you are a veteran UF reader like myself, I think it is very likely you would enjoy this offering.

The story and characters unfold in such a natural order and the fact that parts of the novel are based in actual fact makes it even better. Without a doubt a 5 Star book. Great writing Jen. I fell in love with Evy and can't believe that Constantine won't remember her on her way back. And what's up with Ilif and Penya?

Very entertaining tale of Evy just dumped by her boyfriend and then before she can get over that she is thrust into a fantastic time travel journey. Well written, interesting characters, and just enough hot attraction to satisfy the romantic without being overdone. I will definitely want to read m ore of the series.

She can handle the situation on her own terms, even if it means travelling through time and teaching herself how to harness the power coursing through her. A woman who looks for or creates solutions. How would a modern thinking, motorcycle riding woman handle the culture and treachery of Roman times? She uses everything she knows! Fun read !!!!!

Evy Rivera is one tough cookie, she has to be as she works in the world of Custom Bikes and some of her clients are a little on the unsavoury side. Her motorbike is her pride and joy and the feeling that pushing the boundaries on it gives her exhilarates like nothing else can. The only downside is Lightning, as it cracks and fires across the sky it rips her apart inside and she has begun to dread the regular storms. With terrible taste in men and a loving Latina family Evy is just a regular woman trying to make her way in life. Until she gets trapped in the mountains during a storm and suddenly, she isn't in the mountains any more.

Wonderful pacing helps to bring the tale alive here. The only character we really get a handle on is Evy; everyone else if a little flat and only manages to break in to two dimensions (at best). This isn't too much of a detriment to the tale as it is purely and simply about Evy and her first alteration as a true lightning rider. Menace comes in bucket loads in this book - not just from the unfamiliar setting of Ancient Spain and her sudden appearance in a Roman Military Camp but also from Ilif (a man very much with his own agenda).

The setting is well constructed and Ancient Spain really does just feel a heartbeat away, tucked behind a fold in time that we could reach if only we could manipulate the lightning/ I did find the relationship between Evy and Constantine a touch overwrought and couldn't really get behind the romance of it. The descriptions of the Roman Camp were evocative and you could almost hear the clash of practising swordsmen and the debate of tactics. I also liked that camp followers were mentioned, however there would have been substantially more than one armouress with them.

A well balanced book that sets the tone for the series very nicely. Strong time travelling fantasy that takes you back to an ancient world we know so much and yet so little about.

The story was spoilt by the padding out using romantic fiction which served to spoil a reasonable storyline. also there is potentially a huge hole in the plot as Evy met her Roman beau prior to the birth of his daughter so how does stopping his daughter dying affect him knowing her?
