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.

SUMMARY

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….
