Let me say first I enjoy fun and easy reading just like the next gal. But by my tastes, this book was terrible. I would not recommend it, even as light reading.

In picking this book off the shelf I was captured by the synopsis on the back jacket. It described a strong modern heroine who’s life is turned upside down by a hero from the future, come to rescue her from imminent assasination. Reminiscent of Terminator, (yes, the first one) which is one of my favorite movies of all time. But I always thought that Sarah Connor should have gotten to keep her hot guy from the future.

What a let down this book was! Disregarding the time traveling and the genetically engineered talking wolf (which I thought were very cool), this Warrior from the future was a mindless brute who thinks of women as objects and jacks off to lingerie. Ewww.

The writer Angela Knight has talent and some good ideas, and should run with those, but her idea of love and sex is VERY different from mine. Yes, some romance authors prefer to have a “manly man” for their lead men, and have bossy guys who take charge. But some just go too far. It seems to me stories which show strong dominance like this just prove to show how man can be mean and cruel and think that a woman secretly loves it. Yuck!! Most women do not like to be brutalized or domineered, so I don’t really find it that sexy in a romance novel either.

In this story, I believe Knight was trying to have her Warrior change and grow, and eventually shed the cave man image and learn to care and be considerate. But really, it was difficult to get past the cruelty and belittling behavior to get to the romance part. Even the happy ending couldn’t save this one for me.
