Modern woman meets primitive man… Janet’s tribe travels to the base of a large mountain, where Chief Marro, who presides over more than a thousand people, lives. Phil doesn’t need to look through a camera to recognize an active volcano when he sees one. But the angry mountain is the least of their worries, because Janet captures the charismatic chief’s attention, despite the fact that her mate, Gundre, is a longtime friend. Having met Janet’s fiancé at the site in Cactus Hill, archaeologist Amy Sandhurst finds Brian compelling and is instantly attracted to the handsome stockbroker. He’s moving on with his life, leaving New York for Colorado, and Amy must decide what she wants… but the mystery surrounding Janet’s disappearance continues to grow. Janet feels torn—adoring her new family, yet the pull of Marro is far too strong to resist. Their chemistry is hot and explosive, but so is the mountain, which could kill them all. Marro has forbidden her to leave, wanting her for his own, but once the volcano erupts, the tribe must flee, the disaster separating lovers and ruining lives.

You can ask my husband and he will tell you I’m not the type to throw around F-bombs and B-bombs unless something has got me really riled up. But let me tell you… the books I’ve been reading lately have me throwing them left and right.
This particular book right here, I was in complete disbelief at what I was reading for a moment. I mean, I thought that it was just a fluke or a sense of “I gotta make the best of a bad situation,” that made her jump into the furs with a strange caveman in the first place. But then I read this,
The way of things or not, a woman who really loves her man wouldn’t respond that way and this has happened more than once. *Sigh* I can’t stand faithless b**ches.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
I'm sick of authors stopping books when the story isn't finished in order to make you buy the next book. Seeing how this has become a common occurrence these days, I refuse to rate stories like this higher than one star. I don't care if I like the half (quarter?) of the story before it stopped. A true series has a proper ending, it doesn't just cut off. The novel is entertaining & totally unbelievable. I plan to read the next book in the "series" when it is either offered for free or I can borrow it off Amazon, I'm not paying for this stuff! It's stupid, it's not romantic in the least, sorry but stinking wildly hairy men are not a turn on, nor is not having soap or being able to wash properly. But still, it's an easy & entertaining read. I think I like this second part of the book (okay okay, book 2) even better than the first. I'm curious as ever to see where the author takes the characters in both timelines.
Enjoyed the first book. Loved the characters and the concept, so decided to continue the adventure with the 2nd book. I loved Janet initially, but I'm having a problem buying into this version of her. Granted shes thrown back in time and has to deal with a caveman era, but I'm having a hard time believing her rapid adjustment to these sexual encounters. Therefore, my 4 rating.
I love time travel science fiction and this one is good. It’s fun how they figure out how to do things. My favorite is the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. Time travel and romance together!
Janet is stuck in the past during the Clovis era in North America, with fellow time travelers, Phil, Claire and Martha. Janet is Gundre’s mate and step-mother to Punda. Claire is Matta’s mate & is currently pregnant. Martha, in her mid-40s is the oldest living person that any of the tribe’s people have ever seen. The tribe is travelling to Chief Marro’s Three Rivers tribe, a much larger tribe than theirs, in search of mates for Phil and Martha.
When they arrive, they are looked at as somewhat of a novelty because of their skin color but also worthless because of their lack of abilities. But Janet catches the eye of Chief Marro, and in these tribes, if the chief wants a woman, it doesn’t matter if she has a mate or not, it is the chief’s right to take what he wants. Janet is pulled by attraction to the chief, but she loves her family and doesn’t want to be forced to give them up.
When Janet & the tribe get to Three Rivers, they come to realize that the large tribe lives at the base of a smoking volcano. The tribes don’t realize the danger that they are in and won’t listen to the advice that Janet gives. Janet, Phil, Martha & Claire talk about things that happen that signal the volcano may be nearing eruption.
Back in the present day, Janet’s fiancé, Brian, has come to terms with her disappearance and has started a different path in life. He no longer lives in the city, but on his ranch in Colorado. He still wants Amy, the anthropologist who discovered Janet’s message in a cave, to move with him to Colorado. Amy is still a working professor at a college and doing archaeological digs. But she misses Brian every day that they are apart and has come to rely on text messages and phone calls to get her through the loneliness.
There are ups and downs, but the white people have worked hard at adapting to their new surroundings and the Clovis culture. There is one more book after this one.
The prepress ion of this story is interesting. I wish the author would stop the dual timelines. I think that Brian and Amy deserve there own book. At times it gets confusing and I'm wishing to read more on Janet and Marro. Overall I really like it.
Wtf! So much bullshit! Kill off Gundre so we can justify hooking up with asshole, dbag cave dude instead. Could have turned this into a ménage and added a little excitement to this boring piece of crap.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Had to buy the 3rd to find out how the future happened next for Janet & Amy. A lot of sex to show how the Cavemen era was for survival and development.
