Temporal Shift (Dark Desires Book 4) Kindle Edition
Caught between destiny and desire...
After diving into a black hole in search of the source of Meridian, the key to immortality, the crew of the Blood Hunter finds themselves stranded in an alternate universe.
Engineer Devlin Stark doesn't want immortality. He just wants to live long enough to get his revenge on the man who murdered his brother. Now, he's trapped in a strange world with a crazy woman who claims he's fated to be her lover.
Saffira Lourdes has a destiny: to save humanity and lead her exiled people to the Promised Land. Haunted by visions of the past and future, she's been sustained through the years by a dream lover. Unfortunately, Devlin doesn't believe in fate. But it's obvious there's a connection between them, one that will soon be tested by the limits of time and space. Saffira is about to make the crew of the Blood Hunter an offer they'll find impossible to refuse.
They're heading back to Earth, and they're going back in time...

About the author

Growing up in the cold, wet, north of England, Nina Croft spent a lot of time dreaming of faraway sunnier places and ponies. When she discovered both, along with a whole load of other things, could be found between the covers of a book, her life changed forever.
Later, she headed south, picked up the perfect husband along the way, and together they volunteered to work in Africa. There they discovered a love of exotic places and a dislike of 9-5 work. Afterward they spent a number of years travelling (whenever possible) intermingled with working (whenever necessary.) Eventually they stumbled upon a remote area in the mountains of southern Spain and the small almond farm they now call home.
Nina spends her days reading, writing and riding her mare, Gencianna, under the blue Spanish skies—sunshine and ponies. She reckons this is proof that dreams really can come true if you want them enough.
Nina's writing mixes romance with elements of the paranormal and science fiction

A fast pace and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with lots of suspense, action and romance. Nina Croft brings her story to life with well written scenes and details that inspire vivid images and capture the imagination and the well orchestrated suspense draws the reader deeper into the story. The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention while the fascinating world ensures that they keep coming back for more.
Knowing the future sure doesn’t make things easier for Saffira in the romance department in fact I would say it complicates the hell out of it. The reader can’t help but get caught up in her fascinating dilemma as she struggles to bring about her destiny and have her dream lover too. The attraction between them is certainly red hot and when their desires flare out of control the sex between them is hot enough to scorch the universe and the reader can feel the sparks flying in every direction between these as they clash because Devlin is sure that nothing is more important to him than revenge.
The crew of the Blood Hunter returns and this time they are going back in time or at least some of them are…well I’m not going to give that away. So, lots of spine tingling anticipation and excitement ensures that there is never a dull moment and lots of fascinating and surprising twist to keep readers guessing. There is also quite a bit of amusement as Saffira and her goals clashed with that of the crew which added lots of entertaining spice to the story, needless to say, I really enjoyed this thrilling book and I can’t wait to read the next one.
Some background: 1000 years after Earth’s demise, the ruling Collective, and the self-proclaimed Church of Everlasting Life play a major role in the control of space. The Collective control the rights to the rare radioactive element known as Meridian-that will bestow immortality on those who can afford the price. The Church is in the business of exterminating the genetically modified beings-considering them abominations and a sin against God. These two ruling factions are currently at war with one another and will destroy anyone that gets in their way.
Told from third person point of view TEMPORAL SHIFT finds the crew of the Blood Hunter on the other side of a black hole. Hoping to locate the planet from which the element ‘Meridian’ originated, the crew will travel to an unknown planet where they will meet beings similar to what Callum Meridian (leader of the universe) and the Collective have become. What they did not expect to find is a humanoid female who claims Devlin is her lover and asks the impossible from the ship and her crew. Saffira Lourdes has been chosen as ‘the one’ to save her species and possibly that of old Earth but to do so, Saffira must travel back in time before Earth’s demise.
The relationship between Saffira and Devlin is fraught with anger, betrayal and mistrust. Saffira continues to lie to the crew of the Blood Hunter, about what it is she must do. Saffira has seen the future and the future claims that Devlin is her mate. Devlin wants nothing to do with Saffira, especially after she has placed the crew in danger time and again, but Devlin’s body wants something more.
The world building continues as the Blood Hunter space ship shuttles between black holes, unknown planets, wormholes and deep space. The secondary characters include the crew of the Blood Hunter, most of the previous storyline couples: Tannis and Meridian: Rico and Skylar; as well as Captain William ‘Thorne’ Thornton-a man who has vowed to protect Saffira with his life. The time line covers thousands of years through the black holes and wormholes, yet only days to months will have passed in current time. Saffira will travel back hundreds of years only to come face to face with the man that she will love over fifteen hundred years later.
Nina Croft’s DARK DESIRES (Blood Hunter) series is an addicting and remarkable journey into the unknown travelling through time and space; through black holes and into alternate universes. There are moments of passion, seduction, romance and pain coupled with the intensity of a crew whose lives are constantly in danger but will never leave a crew member stranded or alone. Nina Croft will captivate your senses, your imagination and your need for romance and the paranormal.

Delvin is just way to sexy. not just in his physical description either. He is a man in pain form his past but obviously seeking love without knowing it. he is a bit on the nasty side and that to me is so funny yet desirable. I also loved the idea of him being a mixture of beings that were not the norm.
Thorne, a great leader and father figure, never voices feeling but gives his love unconditionally.
Saffira, looking for her love, finds many life changing events along the way.
I love the constant thrill, fast pace and constant change in the story. I have never thought i would enjoy much reading of fantasy and space, but with Nina Crofts writing i did.
I am now planning on reading the rest of the books in this sequel.. Thank you again Nina...keep them coming


I confess I have not read the other books, on it right away... Still, if you are in the mood for a brave, ideal-driven heroine, look no further. She starts up young and innocent fuelled with the right beliefs until life (okay circumstances) teach her. She matures only to fulfill her destiny and rediscover how right those forgotten beliefs are worth fighting and dying for.
You will not be disappointed, there is love, action and suspense (until the next book). Really a great addition to collections.
Happy reading! ^.^
