REVIEW:
Yanked from Glencoe just as the Campbells are destroying his clan, Dallan Keir
MacDonald finds himself in a strange village where a giant black "heathen"
abusively trains him as a fighter for ten years. He keeps dreaming of a strange
girl who somehow calls to him, and soon the call is too powerful to ignore: his
handlers take him to the 1990s to woo and win her. Only when she gives him
her power will he be able to save earth from forces trying to change the past
to their advantage. But those forces were likely behind her kidnapping, and all
is not as it seems.
Time Masters: The Call is long (566 pages), and the last part seems a little
protracted, but it's still a fast read, with action, humor, and commentary on
male-female relationships and the power purity gives them. It has the usual
romantic fantasy of a human love that completely satisfies, which only a
relationship with God can do, however. But the emphasis on purity between
the sexes as the basis for a truly fulfilling love is a worthwhile message, and it's
told as a compelling story. It's also the first installment of a series, so it leaves a
few non-vital threads dangling—and the reader too, though not badly. Just
enough to prepare for the next story.

SUMMARY:
Fairies are real; they're a race dwelling alongside us, with powers to assume
human form, heal, and even travel through time. They can mate with humans,
forming a synergy of great power.
A time-bending baby girl has been kidnapped to the late twentieth century,
and fortieth-century agents must unite her with her chosen mate, a
seventeenth-century Scotsman, before the couple's bond kills them both—and
before her kidnapper can do further harm. But she has been trained to distrust
men, and he doesn't believe any of it.
