Dark Lover (Masters of Time Series #5)

Red-hot Time Travel at its finest!

"Get ready for the hottest time travel to date, DARK LOVER in Brenda Joyce's fantastic Masters Of Time T series for HQN/August 2009. In present day New York City, Samantha Rose is a top agent for the Center for Demonic Activity in the Historical Crimes Unit guarding humanity by slaying the evils of the world. Her sister, Tabitha and cousin, Brianna, former CDA agents with special powers have found their true loves in Highland warriors and live happily with them in medieval Scotland but continue to battle evil in the past. The fiercely independent, sexy Sam's current CDA assignment is to retrieve the Duisean page, a rare Celtic manuscript that supposedly holds the key to all the power in medieval times. When Sam attends the cocktail party of billionaire developer, Rubert Hemmer, the current owner of the priceless manuscript, she finds more than she's bargained for in catching notorious playboy, Ian Maclean having sex with Rubert's wife! The arrogant millionaire makes no excuses for Sam catching him with another woman. In fact, he asks Sam if she likes what she sees! This isn't the first time Sam has had a run in with the super-sexy, Ian since she's still furious with him for leaving her in a very humiliating situation previously in Scotland when she was trying to rescue her sister. International art thief, Ian wants the Duisean page for himself to finance his extravagant lifestyle. He is equally determined to have Sam in his bed but just for sex since he never allows himself to kiss, let alone get emotionally attached to his lovers. That's okay with Sam since she's a liberated woman, who also enjoys lots of sex and has no intention of getting involved with Ian or any other man. However, when these two come together their incendiary passion for each other can't be denied and they soon discover their dark pasts have affected their ability to love. When Sam is kidnapped by the evil Monk of Carlisle and whisked back to 16th century Scotland, Ian goes back in time to not only rescue her but battle the demons from his horrific childhood. Brava to Brenda Joyce for penning DARK LOVER, which is time-travel romance at its finest! Not only is there a fabulous red-hot battle of the sexes plot but also a complex good vs. evil plot that revisits beloved past lovers and gives romance fans a new couple to love."

Not as good as the first four

The main characters were annoying in comparison to the setup of "independence" they were supposed to have. The first four books were amazing, this one obviously had no heart.

Ian's fear was justifiable because of his horrible youth. That

Ian's fear was justifiable because of his horrible youth. That made him turn away from his destiny and deny his heritage. I like that Ms. Joyce made Sam as hard as nails and the alfa character in this story. She was what Ian needed. I am suffering from Masters of Time withdrawal and desperately hoping that Ms. Joyce will gift the public with another one of these great fantasy/love stories very soon.

Another great book

I have all 5 books and waiting for another please keep them coming in this series.

Brenda Joyce delivers with her latest installment in the Masters of Time series. She grabs your attention from the very beginning and doesn't let go. I really enjoy her Masters of Time books. They are exciting, entertaining and romantic.

Great Book!

I have the ones before this one and they are all great! I will deff. read this book (series) again.

Brenda Joyce delivers a great Masters of Time series!

This is the most recent one in her series about modern day, gifted women and time-travelling Highland warriors, fighting evil. There is just enought of the right blend of supernatural, sex and surprises!

I also recommend the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R.Ward.

Average Read

Not as good as the first ones in the series, but not bad either. The story line is just getting old.

Really Good Read

Awesome as always, this book didn't disappoint.

It probably would have helped to read the other books before this one. I enjoyed the rich history in this book. They run from each other and they fight each other. But regardless of the disdain they have had for each other, they just have to have each other. Chemistry between these two is incredible!

The latest Masters of Time romantic urban fantasy is a super complex tale

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.
