Ratings and reviews

What a fabulous story by author Jenni Fletcher! I've been waiting for this story since the author first revealed the cover a few months ago. It was definitely worth the wait! This story takes place during the Caledonian rebellion of AD 197. I can't recall ever reading any books set in the Roman era and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I'm hoping that the author considers writing more from this era. Our hero Marius Varro is a Second Centurian and first meets our heroine to escort her to her betrothed. Marius is a swoon worthy hero, a strong and honorable man. Livia Valeria is a widow of only two months with a four year old daughter. Livia has not had an easy life, once again she is being forced into another marriage by her evil step brother who uses her to gain money and power. I loved both Livia and Marius from the very beginning of this story. Great characters along with wonderful secondary characters made this a fascinating and entertaining story. Ms. Fletcher always does a wonderful job of pulling you into the story with her wonderful writing and fabulous detail of the time period. I found myself picking up this book frequently throughout the day to read just one more page.... I'd be more than happy to revisit this era and these characters at any time! I absolutely loved everything about this story and would highly recommend it!
