EVERY ROSE WOMAN HAS HER DESTINY
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.

My Thoughts
Dark Lover is the most recently released book in the Masters of Time series, and the last one in the Rose Trilogy. However it wasn't until halfway through the story that I started enjoying it. Out of all the books of the series that I have read, its my least favorite. I think Ian is my least character, the beginning of the story bordered on erotica, however once it got a little more than halfway through it got more into the romance element that I enjoy reading. But there were some intense elements and a powerful story that is steeped in action and romance..

My Favorite Quote
