"vampires, shapeshifters and hot sex"

Her name is Briana. A brillant career woman, she is still looking for the right man to share her life. She has had a lot of affairs but they were never completely fulfilling, like something was missing... but she couldn't put her finger on it. She decides to take a break and spend some holidays alone to relax.

His name is Raynor. He is a wolfman. For years, he has been looking for his mate. Why did it take so long for Briana to realize it was her destiny to share his life? For years, he has tried to call for her in her dreams. When they meet at last, she can't believe that she is a shapeshifter as well, and she escapes before Raynor has time to prevent her and teach her what she has to know to accept what she is.

Trying to escape, Briana runs into the Time Portal and finds herself in the fourteenth century in England. Raynor comes to rescue her. But the only way to go back in their time is to make love until they stay fully in human form without shifting to prove that they are truly bonded. It's easier to say than to do. There is a lot of work for Briana, who cannot yet control her other self.

This is the first book of a trilogy, so there are many unresolved questions at the end. In this book, you have vampires, shapeshifters and hot sex. The author did some good research on the 14th century. The evolution of the relationship should be very interesting in the second book, because the true learning of Briana is going to begin under the custody of Raynor.
