Marlowe:
Christopher Marlowe battles his destiny to get back to the present and to the love of his life, Tam Paradiso. But when he finally escapes Tudor London for modern-day Philadelphia, it’s two years in Tam’s past, and she has no idea who he is. He can comfort her as she mourns her dead father and charm her family as they accept that Tam’s destiny is linked with his. He can even help her fight the mysterious rain spirit responsible for a series of grisly murders. But can he make her fall in love with him all over again?
Paradiso:
After two years as an undercover vice officer, Tam Paradiso wants out. She belongs in the homicide division as a detective like her father was. But she’s up against her partner, the beautiful and reckless Ava Knox, for the job. When Tam’s father dies suddenly, she reaches her low point. Still, she must solve a serial murder case, keep her interfering family at bay, and fend off a crazy, sexy time traveler who claims they are lovers in her future. At least her murder suspect is a human villain, not a supernatural one. Or is it?

I just love a good paranormal book. I like when they are interesting and captivating and not the same old vampire/werewolf drama. Battle for Daylight by L.E. Towne is just the kind of book that was of great interest to me and I couldn’t put it down. This story was unique, and I was “spellbound” from the beginning. The next book in the Chronicles will be Paradise in Mourning and I just can’t wait for it to be released. The only draw back was it did get a little in depth with the Nordic mythology that required me to go back and reread a few pages so that I could follow along but that information was relevant to the story and very much needed. Of course, I loved the strong female cop that is also a supernatural hunter and add in a sexy time-traveling play-write/hunter and it makes for an electrifying situation. 5-starry centuries for Battle for Daylight by L.E. Towne.
Tamberlyn Paradiso is a vice cop that is trying to work her way into the homicide division. No one knows her dark secret, not even her family. So, imagine her surprise when a gorgeous man shows up at the police station stating that he knows her and that he is from the past but they have met in the future and have hunted supernatural beings together. Christopher Marlowe was shocked to find that Tamberlyn did not remember him. He knew he would be on a short timeline, since he has no control over his time travel, but to try and get her to fall in love with him again, the way they had been before would now just add to the list of things they had to accomplish. There is something very wrong happening in the city and it is up to Tam and Marlowe to find a way to stop IT and to somehow stop Marlowe from disappearing back to his original time again.
L. E. Towne continues her time-travel saga in BATTLE FOR DAYLIGHT, a heady blend of suspense, sex, and the supernatural. Silver-tongued Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe charms his way back to the side of scrappy vice cop Tam Paradiso. In a narrative pebbled with literary and historical nuggets, nothing slows the pace as Tam and Marlowe hunt monsters and hammer out a relationship. Threats abound—a serial killer, a mysterious rain spirit, a smarmy lieutenant, and time itself, which any moment might snatch Marlowe from Tam’s grasp. This second volume in the Crescent Moon Chronicles is as exciting as the first. –Nancy Young, author of Something in the Dark Series
