Review & Giveaway: Yesterday’s Heroes by Heather Long

Michael could take a man down with three moves or less. She was slender, slighter in build, and he should be able to snap her in two. Instead, he blocked, evaded and turned her blows until he was able to capture a wrist and spin her back against his chest, his arms coming down to cage her. She turned her palms down, her suggestive little ass rubbing his crotch as she tried to break the hold.

Using his size and associated muscle mass, he bent with her, his fists shackling her wrists, his knuckles brushing her firm breasts. She twisted her hips, going for the side spin. Michael moved with her, boxing her tighter to his body. The motion brought the rich, velvet of her hair to his nose. He drew in a lungful of her scent. The tart lemon was a top note, but beneath the citrus was a distinctively musky, feminine scent.

Blood surged into his cock and she stilled as his arousal pressed solidly against her backside. The teasing curve of her body was soft against his hardness, filling his mind with erotic images and the desire to determine just how the sexy little body suit came off.

Had any battle been more fun?

Or more exciting?

“Done?” He touched his lips to her ear, stealing the smallest taste of her flesh. Her tender skin tasted of schnapps and cool malt, both decadent and sweet.

“Nope.”

Superheroes, time travel, sexy alpha males, and saving the world. There is so much awesome in that mix. Michael and his team of Boomers have traveled from the year 2115 to try and stop the events that have caused the world to become a dreadful place for parahumans to live. Their goal is to get to Hans Geiger by any means possible. His daughter Rory is the perfect means as far as they are concerned.

Rory knows she has a tail. She knows that this hunter has been stalking her every movement for some time. She can’t help but speculate if this shadow is the responsible for the disappearance of two of her teammates. Knowing her abilities Rory sets herself up as bait to find out exactly who this hunter is, and what his interest in her is.

Books are a fantasy escape for me. I would never want to live in the tales that I read. I think that is part of why I love a monosyllabic, chest thumping, nearly Neanderthal hero. Michael has all of this in spades. The fact that he is a bad ass from the future just adds to his sex appeal. Rory doesn’t let him get away with the knuckle dragging either. She puts her foot down and makes him talk and give her the answers she deserves once she is done with all the sexing.

If Yesterday’s Heroes is the beginning of a new series there is plenty of potential. I would hope later books in the series would answer some of the questions I was left with when I turned my Kindle off. Was there a reason behind the force of attraction that Rory and Michael had for each other? Will the team from the future go back to the time they came from? Is there a resolution for Dark Angel and Corkscrew? I was just left with too many questions.
