Product Description:
The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR launches the new Time Hunters series.
In the 24th century, anyone can leap through time at will. To police the time jumpers, the Temporal Enforcement Agency has established a precinct in time. Galar Arvid is a genetically altered warlord and agent who’s been sent back to 2008 to save a pretty Atlanta artist from a Xeran time traveler who intends to kill her for profit. What Galar doesn’t count on is the powerful desire Jessica Kelly ignites in him. But could a romance between them work? A three-hundred-year chasm separates them and, even if they dart through time, there’s still a maniacal killer on their tails.

Jessica Kelly is a painter that just hasn't gotten a break yet. However, she is still painting and she has the support of her roommate if not her family. And Jessica has an appointment with a gallery in just a few days; she is hoping that it will produce some interest in her work. Then Jessica learns that there are things that can go bump in the night and will kill her if allowed too. Jessica just isn't ready to be killed by a nightmare and just what did the nightmare mean about her roommate?
Galar Arvid is a warlord and time jumper for the Temporal Enforcement Agency and his mission is to save Jessica if possible. But someone knows he and his team are at Jessica's and by the time Galar can get to Jessica, she has almost saved herself. Galar learns that night that while he was partially right about the attack on Jessica, he was partially wrong too.
When Galar and Jessica get back to Galar's home in the 24th century, it is just the beginning for both of them to learn about the other and the attraction that is just below the surface. Not only danger still seems to be following both Galar and Jessica but so does mistrust and hurtful misunderstandings. Galar and Jessica have to learn to believe and trust in each other if they are going to understand what was behind the attack on Jessica, capture a killer and find a future for their love.
Warrior is action-packed with danger and a flaming hot love story. Jessica has worked hard to get noticed in the art world only to have to disappear from her time to save her life. Galar has been hurt by loving someone before and is not ready to trust those feelings again anytime soon. I loved reading about Galar trying to help Jessica adjust to her new world and while Jessica tried to figure out how to break through Galar's wall to love. Ms. Knight had me from the very first page with her combination of action, science fiction, compelling characters and a love that could travel back and forth through time and keep getting stronger. I suggest settling into your favorite reading position and having a nice cold drink at hand before starting Warrior because you won't want to stop reading to get them. Warrior is a keeper and a must read that just made me crave the subsequent book in this series.
If you are interested in the back-story of the secondary characters in Galar's team and his world then you can find them in Warlord.

I found this book absolutely out of this world! The sex was steamy, the concepts of time fascinating, and Jessica's "mutations" a pleasant twist. There are a large amount of questions still unanswered by the end of the story, but I think that is kinda the best part. The problem with most series is that after the very first one, there is so little incentive to read the next. This one leaves me intrigued and eager to pick up Enforcer as soon as it is released.

Ok very first off this was so much better than her Mageverse series (which I kind of liked at very first and then it went nowhere fast) but I think Knight is at her best when writing futuristic stories.
Time travel explanations usually blow my mind, but Knight kept the explanation pretty simple, so even I could understand it. I think...
Jessica was a little annoying occasionally, but overall I liked her. She has to deal with the fact that she can't return to her old life (which was pretty crappy anyway if you ask me so I'm glad she didn't cry over it for the entire book), she has to adjust to future technology, and she has a crazy killer after her and nobody can figure out why he wants her dead. Not to mention the fact she is developing some very weird powers that even the futuristic people don't believe are possible (Come on! Time travel, aliens, and engineered warriors are totally normal but a chick with telekinesis is too far out there, so it can't possibly be real?!?)
Galar is strong, capable, and seen as one tough dude. An issue from his past gives him the dreaded Trust Issues . Usually that "conflict" will drive me up the wall, viewing all women the same just because one used and betrayed you because she was a crazy B doesn't mean all women are like that!! Luckily Galar sees that Jessica is different and even when events occur that make him doubt her, it tears him up inside. The wanting to trust her, and the not wanting to endanger his people again, are shown as a huge conflict within him that (and bless Knight for this) only lasts through a handful of pages before being resolved.
I mean, come on! You can only suspect a girl for so long before you finally have to look at the FACTS, and them admit you were stupid and move on. I did think Jessica forgave and forgot pretty quickly... I'm not sure if it's just because I'm used to heroine going all emo over it and dragging it out FOREVER or if it really was a fast turn around from "He's broken my heart! Why doesn't he trust me?" to "I love the big lug, trust is overrated!"
Jessica and Galar fell for each other pretty fast, but I could see why they did. Jessica was so alone in a strange world and Galar became her rock. For Galar, Jessica was so different from the women of his time, and her complete emotional honesty was just what he needed. Which I guess when all added together becomes hot sex. Who knew?!
We're left with a lot of questions about the series in general by the end of the book. Which was disappointing but understandable, it is a series after all but STILL a few answers would have been nice. What is that snow globe thingie? What's with all the tests? Why can't I find a release date for the subsequent book??
The characters are set up nicely for the subsequent installment and I'm looking forward to their story... then we'll get some answers. Right? Please?

Great action and adventure! Starts right off with intriguing characters and strange assassins. Knight finally returns to Jane's Warlord, with time traveling assassins and warriors. This one occuring in present day and traveling into the future. The characters are endearing and the Warrior is HOT! Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the subsequent one.

I had about given up hope of finding more stories set in Angela Knight's world of Warlords and Warfems. In this book, Galar (Son of Alina and Baird, "Warfem") is a Temporal Enforcer fighting to save artist Jessica. Jessica, who has been contaminated by alien DNA and discovers some pretty freaky side effects.
I loved that this book didn't keep the villian a secret, but instead showed him planning Jessica's murder and then slipping up behind her. The reader is left wanting to call out a warning, tell her to run or call the police in to protect her.
This was a really good sci-fi romance that very briefly touched base with families of past books (child of Jane and Baran, "Jane's Warlord," is a supporting character) and revisited a world I thought I wouldn't see again. I hope another Warlord and Warfem book is in Ms. Knight's future.
