Book Description:
Highland warriors sworn to protect innocence through the ages...
Malcolm of Dunroch is a newly chosen Master, a novice to his extraordinary--and dangerous--powers. But he has already broken his vows--and a young woman's death is on his hands. Malcolm is determined to fight his darkest desires, denying himself of all pleasure...until fate sends him another Innocent, the beautiful bookseller Claire Camden.

Since her mother's murder, Claire has done everything possible to make a safe, secure life for herself in a city where danger lurks on every street corner, especially in the dark of night. But nothing can prepare her for the powerful and sexual medieval warrior who sweeps her back into his time--a treacherous, frightening world where the hunters and the hunted are one and the same. Claire needs Malcolm to survive, yet she must somehow keep the dangerously seductive Master at arm's length. For Malcolm's soul is at stake--and fulfilling his desires could prove fatal...

New series featuring medieval time traveling warriors who protect the innocent from evil. The story has an interesting plot with lovable characters, however the sexuality aspect of the story was a little over the top. Overall I think the story is worth reading and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

This book is in an entirely new direction for Joyce. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed in her last three books and this is the worst. If you are looking for sex, not romance, this is for you. The entire book is sexual and not presented in a "fluff" manner, which becomes boring after a while. The little bit of plot is flawed with contridictions throughout. The book does supply lots of character introductions and explantions about the Masters, which you will need to know if you continue with the series. I don't think I will be continuing.

First book of a new series, "Masters of Time." Sons and grandsons of an ancient goddess, Masters are picked to join a secret brotherhood which fights evil in any age. Malcolm is a newly chosen Master - a novice to her extraordinary and dangerous powers. He has already broken his vows and a young woman's death is on his hands.

Claire Camden, a seller of old and rare books, has done everything possible to create a safe world since her mother's and cousin's murder. But nothing she does can save her from being swept back to 15th century Scotland to become the Innocent under Malcolm's protection. Claire needs Malcolm to survive in this treacherous world, yet must somehow keep him at arm's length. For Malcolm's soul is at stake--anf fulfilling his desires could prove fatal.

I enjoyed this thoroughly. A different theme. Grabs you from the start.

This was the first book I've read by Brenda Joyce. It was pretty good - I'd give it a B+. It was different but they kept going back and forth so much I was getting bored in a few places. I would recommend it but it would not be at the top of my list.

Very good time travel adventure with a handsome, sexy Highlander. Claire, a bookstore owner, is taken into the 15th century by a warrior with extraordinary powers. I don't recall any over-the-top sex scenes yet there's an aura of sensuality throughout the book. Definitely recommend.

Desire is the first weapon

Since her mother's murder, Claire has done everything possible to make a safe, secure life for herself in a city where danger lurks on every street corner, especially in the dark of the night. But nothing can prepare her for the powerful and sexual medieval warrior who sweeps her back into his time—a treacherous, frightening world where the hunters and the hunted are one and the same. Claire needs Malcolm to survive, yet she must somehow keep the dangerously powerful Master at arm’s length. For she has no wish to die in his bed like the others—in the throes of dark, forbidden pleasure…

Loved it...... If you like Christine Feehan books you will enjoy these.

I did not get past the Prologue...started way to fast with the hot and heavy sex...I prefer the build up and a plot first. I'm not sure I like paranormals if they are all like this one.

I'm in total agreement with JillB. I love the time travel, good vs evil plot, and the characters .. but the sex is just too much for me.
