New Atlantis #3
Savage
Faith Lincolnshire isn't an adventurer. She's a quiet, reserved medical PA who leaves Retrieving to those far braver than herself. But when she becomes obsessed by the mysterious disappearance of 150 children from a train on its way to a Nazi Death Camp in 1942, she has to put forward an audacious plan to rescue those children.
On a Recon mission, her partner is killed and she is saved by a US commando who is seriously wounded during the rescue. Faith breaks Protocol and Retrieves him. But the peaceful, Utopian world of New Atlantis she takes him to is no place for a warrior like Luke Daniels.
At first Luke believes he's the subject of sophisticated Nazi interrogation process. But, as the evidence to the contrary builds up, he has to accept the incredible truth that he has time travelled nearly 400 years into the future and his beloved rescuer is over 200 years old.
But no matter how much Luke comes to want to remain with his new love, duty calls him back to 1942. He agrees to help complete Faith's Rescue Mission so he can return to his own mission. But the best laid plans can always go astray. And Love can sometimes be more powerful than Duty, even for the most hardened savage.

I bought the bundle books 1-3 (you save $$$) and it was well-worth the money ($1.30 at the time).
That being said, these books were hard to put down, the characters were well developed, the scenery well described, the feelings well sensed.
As per the author's website, the series contains 13 books. All the characters are in and out of these books. They all have their HEA ending, but it’s better to read them in order as the characters evolve.
They have the same outlines, without them being boring:
Time-Travel/Sci-Fi: It happens during the years 2300’s, sometimes recalling the 22nd century when they lost everything, which made them survivors.
Suspense: An exception always happens against their Rules and they cannot do otherwise than adapt, which they are not used to because no one ever went against those Rules before.
Romance: Between the one in her/his own time and the one that travels through time.
Sex Scenes: Not too many and instead of sexual satisfaction they are mostly to assuage the pain from the past, the guilt, the fears.
I took one star off because:
1. There is nothing in between completely different paragraphs in people, place, and time. You don’t realize it when you read until you don’t understand what you’re reading, two lines down; then you have to restart the paragraph.
2. The word “ubiquitous” is used too many times, sometimes a few paragraphs over (and over again). It always when the author describes the clothing they wear.
