Stars AcrossTime


Stars Across Time
Ruby Lionsdrake
Kindle Edition, 223 pages
Published March 15th 2015
ISBN 1494515318

Air Force pilot Andromeda “Andie” Kim dreams of being chosen to join NASA so she can go to space. Instead, she’s stolen by savage kidnappers from a dystopian future where fertile women are needed for breeding purposes. One of her kidnappers, a man named Mace, goes out of his way to protect her from the other slavers, but she’s not about to trust him. All she wants is to escape and find a way back to her time before she's sold as broodstock and stuck in this ruined world forever.

Colonel Aloysius “Mace” Theron of the Cascadian Alliance is a battlefield commander, not a spy, but after twenty years of service, he’s also trusted by his superiors. That’s why they choose him for a top-secret mission: to infiltrate an organization of thieves using a time machine to plunder the past. He’s supposed to find and destroy the machine, not fall in love with one of the captives, but Andie is as much of a fighter as he is, and he’s drawn to her from the beginning. Yet if he fights too hard to protect her, his identity will be discovered and his mission will fail, leaving criminals to terrorize the past, perhaps irrevocably changing history and endangering everyone he knows and loves.

Will I ever get enough of Ruby Lionsdrake's work?

The opening two chapters of this book had me bouncing in my seat with excitement. What a start!

Theron's first reaction to witnessing Andie - I want to save her.

His second -  I want to fight beside her.

Easily the best read I've had from Ruby Lionsdrake. Loved it! Need more from this world and especially these characters!

The Fury




I may have been spoiled a bit by Laurenston and Denee's awesome writing abilities, cuz everything else seems to pale in comparison. Nonetheless, I did love this book. Dagan is to die for. But what guy that straps daggers to his thigh and a sword to his back, isn't?

And the women were great too! Which is new for me. That Chloe. Holy hell. She's a force. And Riley is just crazy enough to get on my good side.Then there's the main lady, Reese. Who I imagine would be my ideal personality in a female. She wants so badly to fight and protect herself, but she just doesn't have a clue. And infuriating as all get out!

But she does have the most amazing friends. They take her being a descendant of a god like it's any other normal thing. Then, they're flashing daggers and hurling lamps. Again, wow, Chloe. And then, at the club when Rufus started ogling some of the women, Chloe put a leash on him fast.

Anyway..

How about finding out your grandfather is a god? Hell to the yeah!

So many men. Dagan. Rufus. Flame. Abu. (Yes, Abu) Scion. Gideon. Percilous. Joe. Geoffry. And so many hook ups. Chloe nabs Rufus in a blink, laying claws and claim. Then Riley jumps Scion's back, kicking and screaming.

Dagan is one hell of a male. He doesn't take kindly to any male being near Reese. So yeah, he's on the bad side of Abu and Joe from immediate start. Though, granted, Abu and he have been enemies long before this.

It is another one of those.. gotta fuck to save his life kinda books. Which, is always odd to me. It's also one of those... every time she gets angry at him he fucks her. Wow. I make it seem like there's a lot of fucking in this book. There isn't really. A lot of fighting and arguing and a shit load of jealous male aggression.

The one thing that makes me want to scream is that I want book two... NOW!

Lord of the Highlands



Felicity is a girl who wants the fairy tale, the happily ever after, and she wants it with her Viking.

And so, with her aunt's deck of tarot cards and special candle, she gives herself a reading, and is immediately transferred back in time to 1658, where she meets William Rollo, a man who has one of the worst families one could ask for.

Injured at the age of seven when his elder brother forced Will's new pony into a mad rush, Will has a bad right knee, and walks with a cane that houses a hidden weapon. He is a war hero on the side of men who wish to see the rightful king restored to his throne.

Felicity is moon eyed over Will, but he wants to make it quite clear that he is no woman's man. He's never been with a woman and never wants to be wed.

Still, Felicity's non-stop talking and bold acts towards intimacy eventually win him over- which leaves, Jamie, his very jealous older brother who wants nothing more than to destroy everything Will ever loved, on a one minded course to get rid of Felicity, and his brother, no matter the cost.
