Journey Man (Knights of Black Swan Book 9) Kindle Edition

by Victoria Danann (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 1,191 ratings
  • A knight is assigned to endless rotation from one nightmare post to another.
  • A lost love is gone, but never forgotten.
  • Two estranged people desperately longing for the same things. Home. And each other.
For five years Glendennon Catch had knocked around the globe as a floater, filling in wherever a team of vampire hunters was down a member. He'd buried six good knights and watched the life take its toll on countless others. He'd drunk his share of whiskey and bedded so many women he would hate to hear the count, but he'd never gotten over his first love. And, if he had a chance for a do-over, he would have put love first. Elora Rose Storm had spent five years nursing a heavy heart, while on a cross-dimensional mission to campaign for change wherever she found human/animal hybrids being mistreated. She'd seen horrors, righted wrongs where she could, and matured into a powerful witch/demon with altruistic leanings. After all this time, unbeknownst to each other, both lonely souls are headed home. To Jefferson Unit.

"Another amazing addition to an already amazing series. Would gladly give more than five stars if I could."- Paranormal Romance Guild

"...action, love, dimensional travel, vampires, and five happy hearts (stars)."-Romance Authors That Rock

"...a fantastic addition to the series."- Archeolibrarian

 Lightning Room Reviews...Glendennon Catch has been one of my favorite characters since we very first saw him introduced. He's James Dean without all the baggage and an added side of astrophysicist-level intelligence. There's this charm about him that wiggles underneath my skin especially deeply when he lets go a rogue growl, just because he can.

Rosie Storm wasn't ever one of my favorite characters. I think mostly because she was just overshadowed by the other star players at the forefront of the stories in which she found herself. Pretty hard to focus on a precocious little girl when her father is Superman and her dad is THE sex demon. But she emerged from childhood straight into a fully realized woman who I began to love in Carnal and she finishes that transition in this book and won my admiration and affection in spades.

The story of how two people who are fated, body, mind and soul, to be together, but who somehow lose each other is an old one. It's a classic one, in fact. And it happens to be one of my favorites. Because of that, I'm often willing to overlook leaps of faith or silly Hallmark transitions to get them back together. But I should have known that Victoria Danann would never employ such trite tactics to tell this piece of these character's stories. She's better than that and she has much better tricks up her sleeves.

This book is classic because Glen and Rosie's love is of that classic variety - pure, strong and unfortunately, taken for granted by both of them. How they find their way back to each other, after having been beat about the head and shoulders by life for 5 years is where they go off book and start telling a brand new story.

And it's beautiful. And powerful, as is befitting of two such intriguing, multi-faceted characters. The soul of this story took me completely off guard. Brought me home to what Danann does so very well - illustrate the human condition with beautifully chosen words that highlight the simple and profound fact that love is life. And life is love.

The definition of a Journeyman is "any experienced, competent but routine worker or performer." I suppose by that definition, Glen is absolutely the journeyman in this story. But because it's a story told by Victoria Danann and because it's a story within the landscape of The Knights of the Black Swan, there is nothing routine about it. It's an adventure with all the very best elements included - raucous laughter, joyful tears, profound discovery and always, love.

"QUEEN OF ALPHA MALE CHARACTERS!" - Slashed Reads

Victoria's signature humor ("Everybody was staring at me because I was on the subway in fits of laughter and couldn't stop!") creeps into each and every book whether she intends it or not. But the heart of Victoria's books is romance, the real kind that often begins with slow burn then lasts and lingers like a charge in the air. Forever.

The rich characterizations and quirky personalities that readers so often comment about come from being a lifelong student of behavior - casually (love to people watch), and a serious student of behavior academically. She has also studied comparative religion, myths, and Dark Ages history.

Victoria lives in The Woodlands, Texas with her husband and a very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner in a great series!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    JOURNEY Man is the 9th book in the Knights of Black Swan series and once again, Victoria Danann doesn't let us down. It is an amazing read that is fresh and exciting. Each book in the series is a gem and should be read in order. I would also suggest reading CARNAL before reading this one just to get some background on Rosie. Why deny yourself the pleasure of any of Victoria's books?
    This story takes place five years after SOLOMON'S SIEVE. Glen had ignored Rosie's ultimatum to choose her or the Knights. He refused to be manipulated and joined the Order believing in the importance of the work they did. This ended his love affair with Rosie and set him off in another direction. However, after years as a floater, never staying with one group for very long and never developing any lasting bonds, he is worn out and broken. Having seen so much horror and loss, his belief in the nobility of his cause is in tatters. He has closed himself off from all emotions except anger. He is so different from the brilliant, vibrant person he was when we last saw him. My heart ached for him.
    Rosie has also changed. After breaking up with Glen, she petulantly ran off to another realm to nurse her wounds. She didn't understand Glen's choice or why her father was so angry at her for making Glen choose. She left as a rather spoiled, immature girl but through her various trials emerged as a mature, caring woman. However, she suffered a loss that broke her heart. She has spent the last few years wandering through the various dimensions trying to help others.
    Now Glen has been transferred back to the Jefferson Unit. Those who care about him are worried at the changes they see. He has not kept in touch with any of his friends and doesn't seek them out when he returns home. In fact, he purposely avoids them. His superiors are worried he is suffering from PTSD. Although he needs help, he has lost his ability to trust in others. As far as he is concerned, he is all alone in the world.
    Rosie is home as well feeling restless. Her mother knows Rosie needs to find some meaningful work and has her daughter take over her role as a tracker. It is inevitable that Rosie and Glen meet again. Five years ago they had loved each other and they had hurt each other. Rosie can see the change in Glen and knows it is not for the good. Glen can only see Rosie as the self-centered child he knew before who broke his heart. In his pain, he can only lash out at her. Now they have to work together, but they seem to unable to bridge the walls they have built. They once loved each other, but now that love seems impossible.
    However, all is not hopeless. They have people who care about them and are willing to break rules and cross boundaries to help them. Also despite the fact that they have closed off so much of their feelings, Rosie and Glen are at their core people capable of deep caring and great loyalty. They are truly good souls who have been battered by events they could not control.
    This is a story that is about friendship, bravery, and sacrifice. It is about loss so overwhelming that it twists and changes your very being. But even if there is sadness, there is also much joy in this book. It is a truly delightful tale filled with romance and humour that will make your spirits soar. Love has a magical power. JOURNEY MAN is about having the courage to open your heart despite the risks. Sometimes we have to lose our way in order to find our true path.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hot & cold, black & white, salt & pepper
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Hot & cold, etc? And 5 stars? Okay, I will start by explaining the 5 stars - there is not a 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 star rating so 5 stars will have to be sufficient.

    Hot & cold, etc? Oh, that is the difference between the beginning and the end of the book - opposite ends of the spectrum. The very end might be just a touch soft, probably enough to lower the rating from a 10+ to a 10... wait a minute, we only have 5, right? Never mind.

    The book itself was sort of a surprise, particularly that is is so much about Glen and he hasn't been a central character before this, big but not central. Not until now. But then if you read the last "related" book, then it probably isn't a surprise. The action is a little softer than some of the earlier books in the series but that's about all I can say to the negative. I don't give details of books when I write a review so if you want the story line, buy the book. It is a bargain.

    And just in case the author reads this - because I follow her, I got an advance excerpt which I started (just a little) and then said nope, I am not reading it. Boy am I glad, it would have made the wait for release even longer. The book is another knock out!

    If you haven't read everything Black Swan before this one, it might not be necessary but there are threads here that run all the way back, maybe to book 1. I have been reading them, one by one, since the beginning but I see on her page there are some bargains if you buy a couple at a time in a package.

    If you enjoy getting entrenched in a very good, well written series, take the time to start at the beginning. There are a couple of non-Black Swan books that are somewhat connected and will help out. If you just want a quick, very entertaining read that will throw you a couple of curves as the story progresses, I think this will work for that as well. That is hard to say since I've read them all. My biggest complaint? Sometimes the author takes waaaayyy too long between her releases! I hope she is diligently working on book 10!

    The book is well written as usual. The storyline was intense and dramatic. My only critique was that at the end it wrapped up so abruptly it was like Victoria just decided to wrap it up and just ended by saying “and they lived happily ever after!” A bit disappointing. But this review is for the whole book, not just the ending. But it is just my humble opinion.

    Another great read to add to my growing collection of Victoria danann books.
    After reading the exiled books I jumped strain into this one as I wanted to know what Rosie had been up to ( got to get it in, its an amazing series on its own).
    You could literally feel the animosity pouring of Glen when it came to Rosie the hurt he carried around with him after the ultimatum she gave him he loved her so much and to be fair vice versa, just a really bad decisions on Rosie's part.
    I enjoyed reading how they were once again duped into being together by the mischievous ladies and not forgetting monk of all people.
    I'm happy that he finally found out about his past and can now move forward.
