Leah was a rebel. She chose to live her life outside the constraints of 19th century English society. She rebuked any parental control and choose to decide her own fate. From England to the Caribbean and then frontier America, she was loved by family and friends yet still had enemies. Sailing the seas with pirates lurking about helped chisel her character as she created a life of her own near the sea.
Explore the scenic countries with Leah and learn about the native cultures and taste their delicacies. As a mixed race female, she placed prejudices under her feet and learned to recognize and accept love even if it was against the law.

A fantastic book!
Bowen keeps you interested in the story in “Cross-Ties.” I read it in two days; I just couldn’t put it down.
You feel for Leah on her amazing journey to find not only love but herself.
This book holds remarkable adventurers, and I highly recommend it!

and I must say that it turned out to be a great decision. I could see early on
By Lucidity
Wow, what an adventure! Admittedly, I’m usually not a big fan of these kinds of books (I tend to stick to the sci-fi and romance genres), but I decided to give “Cross-Ties” a chance and go into the read with an open mind, and I must say that it turned out to be a great decision. I could see early on, within the first few chapters, that the author is truly talented when it comes to weaving words into stories. The prose flows in a very smooth manner while conveying everything in a very vivid way – I personally found it easy to visualize many of the scenes and also empathize and understand the feelings of Leah, the protagonist. I highly recommend ‘Cross-Ties’ to readers looking for a genuinely immersive and adventurous read. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for future releases by Carolyn M. Bowen.

CAPTAIN EVE STONE, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS JTAC
I am an American soldier, serving the people of the United States of America. I am a warrior. I am trained and disciplined mentally and physically. I am an expert and a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and to destroy the enemy. I will never accept defeat. And that is why after nearly twenty years of serving my country and having my identity, my memory, my life, and my one true love stolen from me, I will fight with everything in me to get him back, to remember who I really am.
Almost twenty years have gone by since I was injured in an accident while serving in the United States Air Force. My family, friends, and fiancé were informed I had died. I lost everything. Until now.
It was a chance encounter. While on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines in Iraq, he found me, the only man I’ve ever loved, SSgt Wyatt Powell. But I don’t remember him. You see, I’m a cyborg now. My human side is at war with my machine side because my human side remembers. I have a new identity and a new mission. I will get my life back, and I will make Wyatt fall in love with me again. And I will seek and destroy those who did this to me. I am Captain Eve Stone, and I am a Soldier of Destruction.
SSGT WYATT POWELL, MERCENARY SOLDIER OF KNIGHTS INC.
I can’t believe it’s her. When she died, it nearly destroyed me. Now I’m facing the fact that she’s been alive all this time, but she’s changed. She’s a cyborg with a new identity, and I’m not the same man she fell in love with. I’ve seen and done things that I cannot undo.
I have memories of how we used to be, of the all-consuming love we once shared, back before I had traversed the depths of hell. Before I lost my soul and willingly became a cyborg soldier for Knights Inc., a private mercenary army for hire, fighting for and protecting important assets of the United States. We do the dirty work no one else will, behind enemy lines in the most dangerous parts of the world, and on American soil. We go where even the bravest of the brave would not dare to go.
We have a new mission: find others like Captain Eve Stone and stop whoever is stealing the lives of American soldiers and turning them into cyborgs against their will. This I will do. I will hunt down those bastards and make them pay. I owe her this, even though I’ve reached the point of no return. I owe her my help in getting her life back, even if I no longer belong in it.
I can’t go back to the way we were, and I don’t know how to go forward, or if I even want to. She would hate the man I’ve become. I’m no longer worthy of her. I am the Dragon, a Knight of Destruction.

This story picks up where Eve of Destruction ends,
Eve/ Kat reunites with Dragon/ Wyatt.

There are parts of that may be triggers for some.

It was supposed to be a vacation, a time to save her marriage, but what Joan Clayton hadn’t counted on was Murphy’s Law of Vail Mountain and the secrets that had damaged her marriage beyond repair. It was over. Depressed and angry, she decided to venture directly into an oncoming snowstorm, one that would be known as the blizzard of the century.
Stephen Brockheart received the call concerning a missing tourist after working 26 hours straight. A park ranger for the mountain resort, he set out on the routine mission, knowing he was running out of time as the blizzard hit with visibility zero. What he hadn’t counted on was saving a beautiful woman and falling for her, a city girl who knew nothing about the dangers of the mountain. He had been there before and vowed never to return.
As Mother Nature raged, Joan was soon overcome by the feelings a complete stranger evoked in her, causing her to reevaluate her own life. Through the blizzard and stranded at the resort, death was imminent for any who would try to leave. Despite loss and secrets, can two people find love and happiness again?
Can they be given a second chance to make it real and lasting, or will that chance die with them?

Great Intriguing Winter Read!!
By Stephanie

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this book….first let me say while I don’t like winter, I love a good blizzard if I don’t have to be out in it.

This is the story of Joan and Michael who take a vacation to the mountain resort to get their marriage back on track. Trouble is there are too many outside forces working on that, and when her BFF shows up “coincidentally” the same weekend, Joan is suspicious. She is frustrated and goes for a hike. Things take a turn for the worse, including the weather and Stephen, one of the park rangers is sent out to find her.

Their attraction is mutual once they meet….

They sat side by side, not touching and yet so close. He could feel her body heat, and with the blizzard raging outside and the world cut off and quiet, their closeness felt that much more powerful.

I was totally engaged with the rest of this book, and I’m not sure how to review it since there were so many things I just didn’t see coming and don’t want to give anything away. There are so many emotions I felt reading this, depending on the characters.

This was a great little read, especially in winter, and I loved it!!

Action Packed Sequel
In the first Soldiers of Destruction book, we received an in-depth character study of Katica’s past with Wyatt Powell, the love of her life and the things that lead up to her becoming Eve Stone, a cyborg super soldier. In this, Knights of Destruction, we move into the present day. This installment is much more action-packed than the first, which focused more on the love story between the leafs. While it is still prevalent here, the major part of the novel explores Katica/Eve’s powers, for want of a better word.
The different sides of Eve/Katica come into play, and I love seeing these different sides of two very different characters in one body, it’s very much a spilled personality thing happening here.
Wyatt Powell is stoic and powerful— an incredible character in himself.
This is an outstanding series, and I look forward to the next installment.

A fast-paced adventure
BybAmazon Customer
This was a fun-filled, fast-paced adventure. The main character, Leah was enjoyable and spirited, and I liked following her escapades on the ocean and in search of love.

A great tale of someone overcoming the odds and stepping out of her comfort zone to grow as a person.

And yet, they are drawn to each other with an undeniable hypnotic magnetism. This is the story of Rebecca Robbins, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the country and Mark Ramsay, a man shrouded in dark mystery and hiding in the shadows from death squads amid international intrigue.

Edge of your seat action mixed with electric love
By Valerie Roberson
Again Carol Ann Kauffman sucked me in, and I couldn’t put the book down. Each one of the Time After Time Series just gets better and better. This one she left me hanging wondering if
Greg was able to pull it off?
Becca and Mark saw each other every day through a train window. They were fantasy lovers to each other, but they never have met before. There was an electric connection they felt when they saw each other.
One day they spoke, and it was sheer magic. They knew they were meant to be together. Becca is a very rich businesswoman, and Mark is a low life manger. But that didn’t matter. They loved each other for who they were inside.
Things got crazy, and Mark was kidnapped and almost killed. She rescued him. Becca was blackmailed into marrying some rich dude, and Mark rescued her from him. There is a whole lot that happened in between, but I don’t want to give anything away. You will just have to read the book.
This book had a lot of excitement and holding the edge of your seat in it. The storyline was fantastic! The writing was amazing! I can’t wait for the next book!

Great epic story of love, life, and loss

This is a well written, interesting story of love, life and the heartache that comes with it. Leah is a woman who leads an interesting but at times sad life. Readers are lucky to be allowed to follow along on her journey that crosses continents and includes danger as Leah learns to deal with heartache linked to romance in a book that readers are going to enjoy. The author does a great job with this historical romance that has many other genres linked in the pages.

But they are opposites in every way. Twists and turns at every corner heighten the suspense in this village mystery. Will his dark and shady past cause Michelle to run away? Will issues of abandonment at birth stop her from trusting him? Can they find happiness together despite their major differences? Or will old family scars and secrets keep them apart forever?

A love story I couldn’t put down.

I love Kauffman’s Time After Time Series. MacKalvey House is my favorite so far.
Kauffman has a fantastic imagination and places these two lovers in different times and different situations. MacKalvey House is current times and takes place in England.
I think the characters interact perfectly, whether it be good or bad and make you feel for them.
I look forward to reading many more Time After Time books by Kauffman.
