Summary: Sizzle sizzle
Review: Knight is one hot writer. This is not a book you pass on to your mum!! But Knight is more than that. She created strong characters, a really believable (as much as you can with time travel) explanation for time travel plot about Jack the Ripper. He is on aloose again and targeting Jane, a newspaper reporter publisher for a small southern town. Three hundred years in the future, it is decided to send her her personal body guard - an oh does he guard her body! - a human version of Arnie. It is to prevent her murder and catch Jack. Added by his trusted side kick a computer enhansed Timberwolf, who steals the whole show. She has a wicked sense of humor, knows how to pace the book and is able to give you well drawn human characters. A great new voice to paranormal/futuristic romance.

Summary: Hot & Highly Recommended!
Review: There's a new and very bright star in the realm of paranormal romance. Her name is Angela Knight, an award-winning writer of newspaper articles, and sensual stories for Red Sage Publishing & Ellora's Cave. JANE'S WARLORD (June, Berkley Sensation) is Knight's first published work of book-length fiction for a major publisher - and what a debut! Filled with suspense, humor, a time-jumping hero from 300 years in the future, and erotic scenes that will leave you breathless, JANE'S WARLORD is one terrific read. Put this book at the very top of your must-read list if you like your romance served piping hot, your heroes to die for, and your heroines able to give as good as they get! The cover art alone is delicious. And what you'll find between those covers? It's even more savory! Meet reporter Jane Colby. Her beat is the crime scene for the local newspaper that's been in her family for years. She's single, hardworking, owns a cat and an SUV, and has one particular skeleton in the family closet that rattles far too often, making Jane remember her abusive father who may or may not have murdered her mother. Into the southern, sleepy county of Tayanita where Jane lives comes a murderer - one not of our time. He likes to slice and dice his female victims, selling the gruesome images, much like today's porn sites sell sex on the Internet. His name is Kalig Druas. He's a Xeran, and a Jumpkiller, one paid to jump through time and commit well-known, historically unsolved crimes. In the 1800s, they called him Jack the Ripper...in today's time, he's decided Jane will be his next victim. Enter Baran Arvid, a genetically engineered Warlord, five times stronger than any human. With a neuroweb combat computer woven through his brain, Baran has access to a vast databank as well as information from the cybernetic implants scattered throughout his body. He's tough, talented, and trained to achieve his mission in any way possible. His latest mission? To save Jane from Druas. Add to that the fact that Baran is one handsome, lusty lover and the reader gets a thrilling ride from beginning to end! (And this reader loved Baran's sidekick, a wolf with a sense of humor, glowing crystals implanted in his hide, and a huge heart!) The story Knight creates in JANE'S WARLORD is gripping, highly sensual, and very often humorous. Her characters will steal your soul, the suspense she weaves will raise your pulse rate, and the romance? It's hot, passionate, provocative and revealing - the way a paranormal romance *should* be! Angela's next release is MASTER OF THE NIGHT, coming soon from Berkley Sensation - but not soon enough for this new fan of Angela's work!

Summary: Rated M for Mature
Review: This genre-bending novel combines romance, thriller, sf & erotica in an engaging read that will not be to all readers' tastes. I am not personally drawn to explicit sex scenes in romance. I am particularly not drawn to those which use the kind of language this one does--the "c" word for male anatomy, for instance. It's a testament to Knight's skills as a writer that I finished the book anyway. For those readers with a higher tolerance for those elements, this could be a very good read. Knight has an impressive writing style which separates her out from the herd.
I didn't dock the book for the explicit sex--although since this rating is supposed to reflect my objective tastes I probably ought to. I docked it for not fully following through with one of the hero's major quests, which made the story's resolution feel a little limp.

Summary: why did I like this?
Review: This is the first book I've read from this author. I really enjoyed it. Almost against my better judgement.
In my opinion, it would have been a five star book WITHOUT some of the graphic submissive/dominant sex scenes. I'm no prude, I read erotic romance, but truthfully several scenes were not remotely necessary, and were downright pornographic.
They didn't make sense in this storyline-they are tracking a serial killer who brutalizes women viciously-then the heroine rushes off to have blantantly submissive sex with the hero??? Getting tied up features prominently in this book-not my thing personally.
Don't get me wrong-Angela Knight is a good writer. I think she'll go far in romance, if her stories feature more mainstream erotica and more time devoted to the actual romance. Here's a hint-a dozen kinky interludes, with the last 50 pages saying "I think I love you" doesn't constitute a romance. That's just erotica, or possibly pornography, depending on your point of view.
If you look at the futuristic element to the romance-very convoluted, highly inplausible, but somehow strangely enjoyable. This is a hard book to pinpoint good or bad.
Be forewarned-if you cannot stomach GRAPHIC sex scenes and language, skip this book.Otherwise, 3.899 stars:)

Summary: Disappointed
Review: This was a very fun, unique plot. I even enjoyed reading about "Jack the Ripper" and not having to be grossed out. It's written more as suspense, not horror. I enjoyed every single sentence before and after the "love" scenes, but those really ruined this book for me. The frequency of the intimacies is not what really bothered me. It's the crude description. For example, the couple constantly terms it as f***ing, and it doesn't stop there. The experiences are mostly rough and just purely "sex." If you're looking for a "romance," it isn't found within these pages. The whole book seems to revolve around them having sex. Formula: something happens, they have sex, they're called away, have sex in the bushes by the side of the road, ect... I'm not really into "Erotica" so I don't really know what classifies, but that is what I would term this as. I also don't consider myself a lightweight. I've read hundreds of romances, from historicals to vampires. Lori Foster, Gaeleen Foley; they can steam up the pages! This book just disappointed me.

Summary: exhilarating science fiction romance
Review: Three hundred years from now the Temporal Enforcement sends warlord Baran Arvid and his genetically engineered wolf Freika back to the twenty-first century to protect reporter Jane Colby from a murderous time traveler Kalag Druss. Baran is to kill Kalag before the jump killer murders Jane. Jane covers a particular brutal murder nearby her home. When she returns to her house, she finds Baran and the talkative Frieka waiting for her. Escape is impossible and soon she figures out that her warden and his sidekick come from the future. The worst that could happen to Baran is that he falls in love which distracts him from his mission and place's his beloved in peril from the deadly time traveler. JANE'S WARLORD is an exhilarating science fiction romance that stars four delightful protagonists (to include Freika and Jane's feline furrball. The story line is action packed, but the hook begins not when Baran arrives in what sounds like the Terminator, but when Jane intelligently shreds his cover. Though the villain should never have had a chance against the juggernaut team of Freika and Baran and why he wants Jane dead comes out late, fans will appreciate this wonderful tale that showcases a new writing talent heading for the stars.
