As a thirteen-year-old runaway, Mason “Mace” Adams learned at an early age to always look out for himself and trust no one. His father was an abusive alcoholic, his brother left to join the military and his best friend abandons him. When he’s abducted by aliens in 2017 to take part in “copulations studies”, he tries to keep the shy, sweet woman he’s paired with at arm’s length.
In 1982, Abby McMillion was getting her life back on track after leaving her hometown with a broken heart. She’s captured by aliens, put in stasis and forced to endure long periods of time alone. When she is returned to her dark cell to find a strange man, she’s happy to have human interaction again. She can’t let herself fall for him, no matter how protective and sexy he is.
Together Mace and Abby learn to rely on each other and along the way form a mythical psy-bond, but an accident returns Abby to her time, thirty-five years in the past. Alone and needing his mate, Mace begins a journey to rescue the one woman who completed his broken soul. Now he must find a way to bring Abby back to 2017 and save his sanity.
Mace and Abby’s story continues in the next book, “Ours” and it is worth the journey.
I loved this story from first to last word. I don't normally read si-fi any more. Last I read was the Honor Harrington Series. Though glad I did even though this is a story of only 100 or so pages, every word counts. Stewart builds a environment you can feel as well as see. It blends into conspiracy theories we grown up with ( well I am in my 60's) so it feels like an old friend but yet it is totally new. Abby is strong, adaptive, caring, intelligent and devoted. Mace is strong, dedicated, protective, opinionated and determined. I don't want to give anything away, the aliens are tall intelligent, emotionless and dying out. MUST READ. Now I am off to read the next book in this series.

Psy-bond one is the start to this series but these books must be read in the order they are put out. This is the start of Abby and Mace's story. I enjoyed reading this book looking forward to reading the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
