Publisher's summary

Highland warriors sworn to protect Innocence throughout the Ages...

A golden man, he is called Black Royce, a battle-hardened soldier of the gods. His vows are his life, until he is sent to New York City to protect a Healer from those who would use her powers for themselves. 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.

Outstanding!

Wonderful! I loved this book! It is true there is very explicite sex, but once you cool yourself off; this book will make you laugh, cry, dream, and flinch right along with the characters.

Bad reader, good story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I had to stop and buy the book and read it! good story I wanted to hear. I thought I could get through reader as Brenda writes a good story. Just could not do it.

If you’ve listened to books by Brenda Joyce before, how does this one compare?

If this was at $5.95 Ok, a full credit, NO way!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Van Dyck?

Ms Gabra Zackman, Natalie Ross.
Jennifer van dyck is just awful.

Was Dark Rival worth the listening time?

I had to stoP

Dark Rival

This is the first time I have read Ms. Joyce. I did take into account the other reviews. I enjoyed the book. It was not the best book I have read nor the worst. If you enjoy the fantasy paranormal type stories you probably will enjoy this one. I did not agree with some of the other reviews but one mans trash is another mans treasure. Such is life.
Considering the "modern woman" (I live my life as I want to and don't tell me what to do) and the "medieval man" (do as I say and that's all there is to it) and the calling of each the story line was fine.

I Wish I Could Find A Highlander For My Own!!!!

All of the Highlanders were fun to read, alot of sexy packed into those books, just takes your mind to another place, isn't that what fun books are supposed to do??????? Don't think I could pick just one Highlander though, Loved all Five.

Hot highlander!

This is a great romance with a modern day gifted woman and a time traveling highlander sworn to protect the innocent. The story is engaging and the narration well performed. If you like romance with a Scottish flair you will love this book.
