Brianna Rose lives in present day New York City and works
for the Center for Demonic Activity, which is a secret
government agency to fight the dark forces throughout the
ages. Brianna works in the Historical Crimes Unit and is a
gifted empath who can feel the pain of others. Lately, she
has been having dreams and visions of Aidan, the wolf of
Awe, who is a Highlander from 15th century Scotland. She
feels his pain deeply and knows Aidan is suffering because
of the loss of his son, who was killed by his evil father,
the Earl of Moray. Both father and son have powers and can
live as immortals. Aidan is one of the Masters of Times and
can travel back and forth through time. But he did not reach
his young son in time from being killed, and because of
that, he has turned his back on all that is good and
embraces the darkness in his soul.
Aidan wants revenge against his father and doesn't care who
gets caught in the crossfire. When Brianna is attacked,
Aidan saves her, only to take her back to the 16th century.
Brianna wants to help Aidan, but he is so bent on hating and
trying to destroy his father. If Brianna cannot find the
inner goodness that is Aidan, he will end up hanged for
treason. As Aidan goes into battle, he takes Brianna with
him. He can't help but long for her touch, but knows they
have no real future with one another. There may be a
possibility to save Aidan if Brianna is able to reach into
the heart of the man she has fallen in love with.
Those who enjoy a story with a tortured hero and the woman
who can heal him will enjoy this latest by Brenda Joyce.
DARK EMBRACE is a very dark story of demons, murder and
death. Aidan is the one character who has the weight of the
world on his shoulders. Some reader may find his emotional
angst a bit too much to handle, but Brianna is able to calm
the savage beast with love and devotion.
Aidan is very comparable to a wounded animal that lashes out
and he mainly does that to Brianna because he doesn't want
to feel anything, especially love. The love scenes between
these two are very few, but you do get a good sense of how
they feel for one another. Anyone who is an enthusiast of
Brenda Joyce's writing will not want to miss DARK EMBRACE.
A Highland warrior sworn to protect Innocence throughout
the Ages…
Aidan, the Wolf of Awe, has abandoned the Brotherhood and
forsaken his vows. Feared by all and trusted by none, he
hunts alone, seeking vengeance against the evil that
destroyed his son. He has not saved an Innocent in sixty-six
years--until he hears Brianna Rose’s scream of terror across
centuries, and leaps to modern-day Manhattan to rescue her…
Her Seduction... His Salvation.
Brie spends her time fighting evil from the safety of her
laptop—and fantasizing about the medieval Highlander she met
just once. She is also a gifted empath. Still, her life is
pretty ordinary—until she awakens one night consumed with
Aidan’s pain and rage—which she is feeling across centuries!
And when Aidan suddenly appears in the city and takes her
hostage, Brie cannot believe how dark and dangerous he has
become. She knows she should be afraid, but instead, she
will fight across time for his redemption… and his love.
