Parallel Seduction: Deidre Knight
By: Meagan Saxe | 05.15.07 | 
Warrior Jake Tierny travels back in time to stop a traitor in his beloved king's camp. But when a twist of fate proves the mission unnecessary, Jake is trapped in an era not his own, with friends who cannot learn his true identity.
Scott Dillon may be the king's trusted lieutenant, but he is also a man at war with himself, a human hybrid who refuses to succumb to the Antousian nature that he abhors--and that Jake Tierny embodies.
FBI linguist Hope Harper refuses to let near-blindness keep her from joining the Refarians in their war to defend mankind. Yet her sizzling attraction to both Scott and Jake, and the strange memories they share, forces all three to question the cores of their beliefs. And as their enemies surround them, Hope knows she must choose one man for all time...
One of my least favorite topics is time travel. To be honest, I don't like sci-fi at all. When being presented with paranormal romances that lean towards these genres, I try my hardest to keep an open mind, however, sometimes an open mind just isn't enough.
There was nothing about this book for which I can recommend. It wasn't badly written, but the plot did nothing as far as holding my attention and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the plot early on in the book. I also found myself befuddled at more than one point when Hope couldn't seem to make up her mind about her men and had no scruples when it came to leaving one to go gallivanting off with the other. One important aspect to romance is devotion. Without that ingredient, the whole development of the relationship goes down the tubes.
If you are a fan of sci-fi and romance, you may want to give this book a shot--it may do more for you than it did for me, but otherwise, I'd steer clear.
