Review: Dark Embrace by Brenda Joyce

The Masters of Time series, Dark Embrace is another wonderful book you shouldn’t miss. This book’s focus is Aiden, the strikingly gorgeous and flirtatious highlander with his passion for collecting items from the future. But that Aiden is now gone, the warrior who was once full of life can only now focus on death and revenge. He can not rest until he vanquishes his evil father, until the man or beast that took his son’s life is gone forever or he is dead also.

Brianna is a Rose woman, gifted with the ability to feel other’s pain or joy; she is an empath. But nothing explains why she is suddenly stricken with unbearable pain and anguish. She can feel his hurt and despair and the agony of death approaching, but how could this be possible? It’s Aiden, the Master she only met briefly last year, who lives in the 1400’s. How can she be feeling him across time?


Aiden’s sudden arrival and kidnapping of her only to whisk her away to the past, brings her face to face with an entirely different man. Aiden has changed, he is dark and more dangerous then she could ever imagine. But fear is not what she has inside, it is something more. She has a need to heal him and help him fight the demons inside and out.


I believe that this is my favorite book in the series so far. The story drew me in and kept me highly entertained. There are surprises, heartbreak and very hot and steamy moments included with this novel. An excellent book and quick read. Enjoy!
