Kiss Across Time by Teal Ceagh

 

Teal Ceagh’s Kiss Across Time is a fascinating and deliciously sexy story of a love that has spanned many lifetimes. The relationship between Brody Gallagher and Veris is masculine, yet full of endearing emotions. Once Taylor Yates is brought into the relationship it goes from a sexy story to one that burns your fingers with every turn of the page! The chemistry these three characters is apparent from the very beginning. The way Ceagh incorporates time travel into the story does not take away from the realness of the story in any way and in fact added to my eagerness while I was reading. You never know where, or should I say “when”, Taylor will end up with Brody or Veris. When you’re reading about 2000 year old vampires, it’s a special treat to get to see and live their history instead of hearing them retell it. You can feel the emotions come off the page when Brody and Veris share their histories with Taylor.

Kiss Across Time is a terrific start to the Time Crossed Love series. Readers won’t be able to help but fall in love with the characters. Taylor Yates is one lucky woman and Kiss Across Time is a must read for any fan of the paranormal/erotica genre!

Taylor Yates has just been fired from her teaching position at the university for her stance that the 5^th century poet Inigo Domhnall did actually exist.  After hearing the words from an Inigo Domhnall poem in the lyrics of a death metal song, she is even surer of her beliefs and she plans to prove it by setting up a private meeting with the band’s lead singer Brody Gallagher. The first meeting is not what she expects at all. Brody kisses her during his stage performance and they are both transported back in time to the days when Brody was a warrior, in King Arthur’s Britain. What a kiss!  After sharing an equally explosive kiss with Brody’s friend and lover, the sexy Saxon Warrior Veris, Taylor figures out there is much more to these gorgeous guys than meets the eye. They are vampires and have been together for centuries. 

Readers will enjoy the passion between the characters and the attention to detail that the author gives during the time travel sequences makes it easy to step into the story. Kiss Across Time leaves you signing in contentment and eager to learn more from Brody, Taylor, and Veris.
