Rating 3/5
On the edge of the Roman Empire, Queen Boudica’s rebellion has ended. A time of great tragedy has passed. Atellus, a Roman magistrate living in Gaul, discovers he’s no longer sympathetic to Rome and must now question every facet of his life.
A cunning Celtic woman with golden-red hair arrives in the slave markets, defiant and angry—a danger to anyone foolish enough to purchase her. As punishment for her willfulness, she is to be offered as a sexual favor to Roman guests at a lavish feast and put to death for their entertainment.
For Atellus, it’s love at first sight. He wants to own her. They embark on an erotically turbulent journey through a lonely Celtic forest. He suspects his beautiful slave is harboring a painful secret and must never again speak her true name. She is Celtic royalty—the last of her kind.
In the heart of the forest, strong-willed lovers clash, fall in love and catch a glimpse of what the future can be if both can learn to trust and forgive.
Review
This was an ok book. The writing was good and the characters were different. I don't think it was what I was expecting it to be. You can tell that the author did a lot of research for her book. She used many words in Latin and seemed to know Rome's history. So that is a plus.
I did feel as though she were telling me more of the story then showing. The Latin words became tedious at times, especially if you forgot what they meant. The Latin word for P@nis is somehow not as striking as the English versions.
For me the ending was to abrupt. The issue Rutila had was resolved far to quickly. Overall it was a fun read.
