OMG! Hot Hot Hot!

This whole series was AMAZING! I loved Ian. He's such a bad boy who is so selfish and keeps to himself. Until he meets Sam .... a Slayer who knows how to kick butt and saves Innocents. Of course they hit it off. Finally!

Ian is worth the wait!

Another dominant Highlander from Brenda Joyce. He knows what he wants and her name is Samantha Rose. He's determined to have her. What a pair these two make. The chemistry is hot! He is tortured and vulnerable, but puts up a good front. Sam is one tough broad. She wants Ian to pay for humiliating her. She'll have him, but on her terms. It's lovely to get a look at the previous Masters of Time heroes and heroines and see how they're faring as well. I definitely recommend this book, particularly if you've enjoyed the earlier books in the series.

Best Book in this series!

I really enjoyed the sparing between the two main characters. It makes for a fun and exciting story!

Fantastic Page Turner

OMG This book just grabs you and keeps you interested. Not a dull moment in this book. I have read the others in her Master's of Time Series and REALLY enjoyed them, but this one is her best. She took part of the past storyline with Aiden's son and created a fantastic book! I don't want it to end as it's difficult to find books that have all the excitement that this has. The book has 408 pages and I'm on page 370. Enjoy this one! Updated- Finished the book and it was great!

Excellent!!

From the first page to the last it kept my interest and I wanted more!!! Looking forward to more from Ms Joyce!!!

super romantic urban fantasy

In New York City, Center for Demonic Activity, Historical Crimes Unit demon slaying witch Samantha Rose misses her sister Tabitha (see DARK VICTORY) and her cousin Brianna (see DARK EMBRACE) as her fellow agents married Highlanders and live several centuries in the past. She focuses even more on her work with her latest assignment to retrieve the Duisean, a valuable Celtic manuscript owned by Rubert Hemmer. International art thief Ian Maclean is known for being able to obtain any masterpiece for his clients. He and Sam had a run in when they met in Scotland that left her humiliated and furious. They meet again as he is seducing the wife of Rupert to foster his plan to steal the Duisean in order to sell to the highest bidder. Sam and Ian team up to try to steal the valuable artifact though neither wants that teaming. Worse they are attracted to one another and begin to depend on one another although both fear the directions their respective feelings are taking them. The latest Masters of Time romantic urban fantasy is a super complex tale as the kick butt adversaries must unite but both have doubts distrusting the other and even more their hearts. He uses a suave uncaring demeanor to hide his darkest secret that the demons once imprisoned and tortured him for seemingly eternity; she has never forgotten or gotten over his rejection in Scotland. However, they have no choice if they are to prevent an ancient dark one from arising; time is of the essence as they plunge into his worse nightmare that of his own past. Harriet Klausner
