"Sizzingly hot time travel tale"
I first read Angela Knight in Red Sage's Secrets Vol. 2.
Her novella literally blew me away! I immediately was
desperate for anything written by the talented writer, who
gives you a raw, red-hot story, yet still remembers the
passion in romance, not just the sex. She always has a
strong plot foundation that is often missing in other
erotic romance writers. Basically, she is an author who
gives you her all. I was very disappointed to find out this
amazing writer did not have dozens of books on her
backlist. She has a new story out this month besides Jane's
Warlord -- from Ellora's Cave in Ellora's Cavemen: Tale of
the Temple II. Her second book is out in October, MASTER OF
THE NIGHT, a sexy vampire saga -- so to say Knight is on
fire is putting it mildly! Knight's story is one of the best by any standard. She
creates strong characters you care about, gives reasonable
explanations (time travel is always iffy logic to me! lol),
and takes something old and makes it new again. There will
be instant references from readers of The Terminator giving
Knight her seed for this story (the writer even makes a
couple herself!). So? They say there are only 7 basic
storylines; it is what the writer does with them that
showcases the talent. Knight took sexy John De Salvo,
grafted him onto a genetically engineered body ala Arnie
from T1, and gives you were sizzling kicka** tale. Toss in
a time-traveling Jack the Ripper and you have the makings
of a very compelling story. Jane Colby finds herself the target of old period-jumping
Jack and the only thing standing between her and the killer
are a generically altered, wisecracking timberwolf and one
sexy warrior from the future. Knight blends all her
elements deftly. The scorching love scenes are nearly
devastating, yet she manages to keep them from overpowering
the whole book by adding flawed, well-drawn characters
with a rich history, a chilling stalk for a killer who is
in turn stalking Jane, and the quirky humor of having a
talking wolfhound that makes me think of the mouthy dog
from the Men in Black Movies. The scenes with the wolf are
an absolute howl, punch up the intensity level of the sexy
love scenes and the brutal slayings, but giving the reader
that much needed (pant pant) time to catch their breath! This is a sexy, futuristic/paranormal tale that takes the
reader to the limit and beyond! If you want your romances
on par with "a kiss on the cheek Regency level" then give
this book a pass for it will curl your toes. Knight's book
is an "if you can't stand the heat then get out of the
kitchen" sort of tale. For those wanting a novel that
delivers on all levels, then take the walk into the fire!
Just be sure to have a tall picture of iced lemonade handy!
