Ian Maclean has had a rough life. Kidnapped as a child by
his evil grandfather, he's tormented daily by the abuse he
suffered for sixty-six years. Now living in the twenty-
first century, Ian has become an international art thief
and his latest acquisition, a page from the Book of Power,
is sure to net him huge gains when he sells it to the
highest bidder. There's just one little problem.
Samantha Rose has been hunting evil since she was twelve
years old and witnessed her mother's brutal murder at the
hands of a demon. Now, as a slayer for the government
agency known as the Centre for Demonic Activity, Sam's
newest assignment is to convince Ian to not sell the page
and give it to the government instead. What she didn't
count on was falling for the very man who once rejected and
humiliated her. Now she has to decide what's more important
to her; her job or Ian.
Brenda Joyce brings a fabulous end to her time-traveling
Rose Trilogy, part of the Masters of Time series, with the
highly anticipated DARK LOVER. I thought Sam and Ian were
perfect for each other. Watching Ian struggle with his past
is heart-wrenching but makes you fall completely in love
with him. Sam is a kick-ass heroine with a smart mouth but
has scars of her own she has to deal with. When the two are
together, it's just explosive. I would recommend you read
the other books in the series just so you can keep track of
the timelines and also to keep up with all the other
characters from the other books in the series that pop up.
Joyce has, once again, penned a multifaceted, heart
wrenching, compelling story. DARK LOVER is not only a book
you shouldn't pass on, the entire Masters of Time series is
one you do not want to miss.
Ian Maclean's arrogance hides a terrible secret—for decades
he was held prisoner by demons. Not a day goes by that he
isn't tormented by his darkest fears of powerlessness. Now
he is about to sell to the highest bidder a page he's
stolen from the Book of Power—if one woman doesn't stop him.
Slayer Samantha Rose's latest mission is to recover the
stolen page—and get payback from the only man who's ever
rejected her. What she hasn't counted on is the raging
attraction between them—or her growing realization of what
Maclean has survived. As the powers of the evil from his
past gather, Sam will do anything to help him—even if it
means following him into time and facing his worst
nightmares with him….
