Master of Time Black Royce is sent by the Gods to the early twenty-first century to protect Long Island healer Allie Monroe from the evil that stalk the Big Apple. However, upon meeting the mortal Royce is stunned worse than any blow received from an adversary she is his soulmate. They make love like there is not time beyond the present.------------- Allie learns that her beloved Royce will die on September 7, 2007 considering she met the hunk with her car on September 4th, she knows she has to work fast to keep him alive while he pledges to keep her safe. She vows to find a way they can be together. She travels back to his time long ago to see if she somehow can change his future. Royce fails to recognize her so this time she seduces him. However, to achieve her goal she must kill the evil demon Moffet, or risk dying in the attempt.---------------- Returning to a realm where good (Masters of Time) vs. evil demons and their minion), Brenda Joyce provides her fans with an entertaining romantic fantasy starring two heroic individuals willing to risk their lives and their love to keep the other safe. The story line is fast-paced, yet insures the lead couple feels genuine even when they time travel. Although each adjusts too easily to the other¿s era, DARK RIVAL is a powerful fun tale that seduces the audience to read it from start to finish in one sitting and to obtain the previous series saga, DARK SEDUCTION.-------- Harriet KlausnerShow Less

I decided to try out a new author, and this one looked interesting. The first half of this book was the woman stalking and obsessing about the man. He was hateful and rude and awful and she kept on coming back because she 'loved' him. BTW, she fell in 'love' with him after a one night stand. I finally quit trying to read this about 3/4 of the way through it. It got to be too painful to read about a pathetic stalker woman.Show Less

    Love,Love,Love this series!!!

    I have read all the books in this series so far. these books are absolutely amazing. I finished this book in one sitting. I have of course read them multiple times and only grew to love them more, the more I read them. They are the first Romance novels that I have ever read. and now Im stuck comparing everything I read to this series.
    I give these books 5 stars. extremely captivating once I started reading I could not put them down.

    Somewhat of a disappointment. Don't waste your money!

    A friend of mine recommended this book to me. She claimed that is was great, that it was one of her favorite, so I purchased not one but three of the series' books. Read this one first. I was a bit disappointed from the start. I knew it was a poor decison on my part, but I kept reading in hopes that it would get better but nearly done with the book and it has only gone from bad to worse. I'm no great writer but I've read enough novels to know that the characters are more than lacking. I don't "feel" them. They in no way seem like real people that I can empathize, but more like one dementional characters from a poorly written novel that I feel would have made a better home on a fan fiction site. Too much happens too fast that I'm not given a chance to sympathized with characters. I found the book to be overall "empty" Royce and Ali's realtionship seems juvenille. I don't like Ali one bit, she is an annoying and irrating immature person. If I didn't know better I would think it was written by a 14 year old.

    Masters of time series

    I loved this book so much, the whole series is great. I can't wait till the next book comes out.
    Royce is such a strong character, I wish I had a man like that.

    Waste of my time.

    I read the first one Dark Seduction. It was ok so I bought all the rest. Big mistake. If the rest are anything like this one they were a waste of my money as well as my time. It's almost like her editor told her she had to write a book that was so many pages long and so she just kept pulling the characters apart and putting them back together again and pulling them apart and putting them back together again and pulling them apart and putting them back together again and pulling them apart and putting them back together again and......

    Loved it

    When i started this book i was emidiatly hooked! I absolutaly LOVED the characters and the plot. It did irate me at times when The hero would repeativly hurt the heroine but in the end he came around and simply blew me oout of the water! I would highly recomend this series if you are a fan of the highlander series or if you love a good scotish/paranomal romance.

    Fantastic

    Brenda Joyce is good for the world that I spend so much time in. Her writing gives me enough fantasy to keep my mind going long after I've read the last word. As with the other stories in the Masters of Time Series, I was captivated from the beginning to the end. Because I'd read other books in the series I was anxious to read this book and and was not disappointed.

    Outstanding Highlander Time Travel Novel

    Rich and creative. Lovely characters which anyone would fall in love with. Better than Karen Moning's Highlander series.
