A single kiss can change more than one life…or two.

Taylor Yates is fired for insisting the 5th Century Arthurian poet, Inigo Domhnall, existed. When she hears Domhnall‘s lyrics in a death metal song, she engineers a meeting with lead singer, Brody Gallagher. An unintended kiss sends them spinning back to the poet‘s time, when Saxons were pillaging King Arthur‘s Britain.

Brody‘s all for kissing her again. More, he wants her to kiss his friend and lover, Veris, to see what will happen. When Veris‘ kiss sends them back to the time of the Vikings neither man is willing to let Taylor simply walk out of their lives.

But Brody and Veris are more than lovers and sexual playmates, as Taylor learns when they investigate the kisses that send them across time. The secrets they share have the power to completely alter her life.

Review:  Kiss Across Time begins with Taylor Yates losing her job at the university where she was up for tenure. Seems her obsession with proving the existence of poet Inigo Domhnal has made her a laughing stock and the university wants to distance themselves from her and all mention of the illusive Domhnal. But, as she arrives at her apartment, she hears the poet’s lyrics, of all places, in a death metal song. She enlists the help of her neighbor in order to attend the concert. A quick kiss from the lead singer, Brody Gallagher, is not only hot, but changes her life forever. Seems the kiss caused a time jump, for not only her, but Brody as well. She is ushered backstage after the concert, where she encounters Veris, Brody’s lover. Once he kisses her, another time jump occurs, and Brody and Veris know that Taylor is theirs. Now, to convince Taylor…….

Taylor soon discovers that Brody and Veris are centuries old vampires and that for some reason they time jump when they are intimate with each other. When they jump, it is always back to a time in either Brody or Veris’ past, or a time when they were both present. Brody and Veris have claimed Taylor as their own and have to present her to their queen, and are nervous as to how the meeting will go. Once they meet the queen, they discover that if anything changes when they travel back in time, it can alter their future. Brody and Veris know that the queen is not keen on them keeping her, but the queen also knows that they’ve marked her and she decides to see how it plays out. Because she knows they’ve decided that nothing, or no one, will take Taylor from them.

Kiss Across Time is a relatively short story. You find out their some of their history as the story progresses. I was a little worried that there was no explanation as to why things were happening as they were, but Cooper-Posey does a wonderful job of revealing their histories as the story moves along. Veris and Brody have been together for hundreds of years and easily fit Taylor into their lives. Maybe, a little too easy. But, they embark on a sensuous relationship, and it works. Yes, they are all three in the relationship with each other…..All for one and one for all!!

To save them all they must win back one reluctant heart…again.

Taylor Yates never dreamed growing up she would end up happily living with two drop-dead sexy vampires and time-hopping through their thousand years of personal history. Her life is complete…or is it?

When she finds herself at the siege of Jerusalem during the first crusade, Veris doesn’t know her at all and doesn’t want to. Worst of all, he and Brody are total strangers, and Taylor drives a wedge in deep between them by trying to seduce Veris at their first meeting–not something a lady of the day does if she wants to keep her head.

Taylor and Brody must woo Veris using the customs of medieval England, win his heart and his full commitment before Jerusalem falls in four days’ time–or when they return to their own time, their lives as they know them will be gone…

••••••••••••••••

Kiss Across Swords begins four years after Kiss Across Time ends. And, oh what a story it is. They have come up with a phrase that allows them to know that everyone is aware that they’ve jumped and are all on the same page. Seems jumping can leave you a little dazed. Imagine that?!

When they jump in this installment, they are thrown back into the time when Brody and Veris met and became lovers, during the First Crusade in Jerusalem. One big problem. For some reason, Veris does not recognize Brody or Taylor this go around. And, to top it all off, if Brody and Veris don’t get together during this jump before they all jump back to the present time, the future will be irrevocably changed and Veris will not be part of their lives. Throw in a female vampire who doesn’t want to share Veris with anyone and their battle with the Fatimids and they have their work cut out for them.

The sex scenes in this book are pretty explicit. After all, Brody and Taylor are having to seduce a man whom they both already love and know exactly how to go about it. Because once they get Veris back, Taylor has big news that will forever change their lives.

When dying becomes an act of love.

It is four years since Taylor and Brody almost lost Veris during the First Crusade. Now they know how to control time jumps, they have settled into a very nearly perfect, nearly human life, raising their daughter Marit.

When Brody defies Queen Tira to protect Marit, the three of them jump back three days in time to collect evidence the queen set up Brody for a drug bust in retribution. The jump sends them back to Brody’s personal nightmare: Fifth century Constantinople.

While Brody survives as a flogged slave, Taylor masquerades as the wife of an aristocrat and searches for Brody to release him. They must wait for Veris to find them before jumping home and Taylor watches each brutal chariot race, wondering if this will be Brody’s last. Brody once died in the Hippodrome and he is human this time, too….

Review:  Kiss Across Chains begins four years after Kiss Across Swords. They have settled into their lives and cherish their time with their daughter, Marit. But, once the queen discovers what’s going on, she’s not happy. And, as the blurb says, she sets Brody up to teach them all a lesson. Seems she forgot her lesson in the first book………. No one will intrude upon their family and no one will separate them.

This book has been my favorite so far. The cruelty and torture that Brody endures during their jump back in this one is hard to read. Add to it the fact that Taylor has to witness much of it and the tears fall. Of course they fix the problems that allow them to keep Marit and set things right for their “future”. I loved getting to know more about Brody. And the strength and determination that Taylor exhibits during this jump is inspiring. She’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that her family is reunited. Throw Veris in and these three are unstoppable.

This is a wonderful series. If I’m being honest, the first one was a bit slow, but once I got into the second book, and then the third? I was hooked. I love that we get history lessons through each book. Their jumps back in time do that particular time’s history justice. Cooper-Posey does a wonderful job of filling us in on what’s going on without bogging us down with unnecessary descriptions. You can hear the hooves, hear the chariots and smell the dust. You can also feel the love these three feel for each other and fall head over heels for them yourself. I can’t wait for the next installment!!
