Goodreads Blurb: Aura couldn’t imagine her life could get any worse, until she woke up lost in time. She knew what to do in her own time. She even had an idea what she wanted to do with her life. What was she to do lost somewhere in an ancient world? She has no experience with the lifestyle. She can’t speak the language. She has no home. All she has to her name is a few pieces of camping supplies, a few changes of clothing, and a pet snake. She is determined to survive, and find a way back to her own time.

Thorn is the Duke Vernon's right hand man. He is a warlord, respected and feared by all who knows, or has heard of him. He understands only two things. One, you only get what you work for in life. Two, you had to have faith in the things you believe. With all of his heart and soul he believes that one-day he will be sent his soul mate. The one woman created just for him. He has no idea who she will be. He has no idea what she will look like or be like, but she will be his, and his alone.

Can Aura learn to love a man who lived a thousand years before she was born? Can Thorn teach a woman with no faith to believe that they are meant to be together?

My Review:

Aura had me in its grip from the very start! This is my first time reading anything from M.A. Abraham and WILL NOT be my last! She is an excellent story teller! Everything is written with such emotion and vivid detail that you find yourself unable to pull away for even a moment in fear you’ll miss out on what will happen next (yes I know it’s a book, but it is really that terrific!) Mysterious, magical, emotional, exciting, fun and romantic are just some of the elements you will experience while reading this book. A definite must read for any romance fan!

Aura has had a difficult childhood. Not so much a horrific one, but she was not loved or cared for as a child should be. Add to that, falling asleep in one place and waking up in another place (and time) and you have the icing on the proverbial cake! Luckily Aura is an amazingly resilient, smart, witty, brave and beautiful woman that knows no fear (well except for rodents). She is a character that many will fall in love with any many more will look up to.

Thorn is an amazing warrior that puts all other warriors of his time to shame. He carries within himself extreme strength, faith and an alpha aura that projects to others, intimidating them by presence alone. He has the skills to take down many in battle without batting an eye. Yet his heart is huge, he’s warm, caring, loyal, and funny, an all-around an amazing man. A man that many readers will adore and wish they had for their very own :)

It was a bit of a rocky start for these two soul mates, along with a roller coaster ride of emotions that have you at the edge of your seat. We have two people that are meant to be together, forever, and it is all written with such strong emotion you feel all straight through to your bones, your heart and your very soul.

From the start of Aura and Thorn’s first meeting I knew fate was at play and I must say, a magnificent pairing was made when it was decided for these two to be brought together. I will always have the memories of their journey and what it grew to be. This is a book that lingers in the mind; with an addictive quality to it that I am so happy to had the pleasure of reading.
