Dark Rival (The Masters of Time, Book 2) Review
This is the first novel by Joyce that I picked up from a local used bookstore (they didnt have the one i actually wanted). To my great surprise, by the second chapter of this book I was glad that the store didnt have the one I originally had wanted. I would have missed this! I will say this much, there will be a slight surprise (or 3) for anyone who reads this magnificent story. I do give it 5 Stars because of that fact. Brenda Joyce handled time travel very well, unlike another book I had (well tried) to read. I finished this book in a day (took so long because of work and school), and I am excited to go out and purchase the other titles in this series.

A golden man, he is called Black Royce -- a battle-hardened soldier of the gods.

The moment Royce sees beautiful, feisty Allie Monroe, he knows she will be his only weakness -- and he is right.
Destiny is a dangerous thing
Allie Monroe is more than an heiress. She is a Healer, willing to do anything to save victims of the evil that lurks in the city at night. But alone, she can do only so much -- until destiny sends her the darkest Highlander of them all. Then evil strikes and Royce is destroyed before Allie's eyes. Now Allie will do anything to save Royce -- even if it means going back in time to a dark, dangerous world. Confronting their enemies could cost not only their lives, but their love -- for all eternity.

Award for the brattiest heroine - J. M. Winchock - Central New Jersey
As I read this installment, I wondered what this poor Master had done in his 800+ years to have the Fates curse him with the vainest, most self-centered, idiotic heroine I have seen in a long time. Royce is a complex, emotionally wounded, well-developed character. And it is beyond my comprehension why he would have put up with a quarter of what the spoiled-little-rich-girl Allie subjects him to. He's much too intelligent to be swayed by a pretty face and a good - well, you know. The story line was interesting, but there are some very glaring logical flaws in the telling of it. For example, Royce can travel through time, arriving at any place and time he desires. So when he is injured and must recoup in another time period, why must Allie wait weeks in her time period for him to return? He should have been able to reappear, fully healed, almost immediately after the time he left. This and many other flaws has me wondering if I should bother with the rest of the series or give up on this author entirely.
