But in this time Royce is much different, and she goes about to show him how love can change oneself, but never knowing the danger that would follow her in this time.
My Thoughts
Dark Rivals is the second in the Masters of Time series, and I just had such a fun time reading Royce’s story. It starts with a tender love story which becomes very emotional when we see Royce being killed, however the story is only at the beginning. Brenda Joyce takes the reader on a thrilling adventure back through time and space, where two people discover that their love is magical and one that will last through the ages. A FANTASTIC READ!!!
My Favorite Quote
He crushed her in his arms, hard and opened her mouth with his lips. She kissed him back, and in unison their pulses soared. “Don’t worry. I’m your destiny”
