The thing that I like most of this book is the protagonist Catrin. She was capable to endure the physical and psychological abuses. I always like the stories about Roman Gods this book was really a surprise. Thank you for the review you let me discover this fantastic book. :D

This sounds like a great series of books with forbidden romance and great characters. The historical fiction element sounds really captivating too. Thanks for a great review.

From a sampling, this is an interesting and entertaining addition to the Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series following the Roman soldier, Marcellus Antonius, and his love, Catrin the Druid warrior. It seems like it would be worth a second look. Well done.

This sounds like an interesting book, but I feel I might be triggered by the torture scenes. It sounds like an epic romance and I love historical romances, but am concerned about how I would react to Catrin. Thank you for your review.

Your review of the book is quite interesting and I look forward to reading the other books as suggested. I am one who enjoys Roman historical stories and I can only hope Marcellus and Catrin find their way back to each other.

This series sounds like a mix of a soap opera and Spartacus which has definitely piqued my interest! This story sounds so complex and fascinating, I’m so curious how Catrin and Marcellus will come together again. Thanks for the review!

The book seems quite interesting with an in-depth storyline - romance novel with some historical Roman and Celtics details. However, even though historical fiction books do not appeal to me, I highly recommend the book to those who enjoy the genre.

Romance is one of my favorite genres and I like that the setting of this one is so dated. The characters seem likable, especially Catrin. I can't wait to see how her story unfolds.

The sounds complicated and the names uncommon. I didn’t expect it to be a romance book from the name but, I guess the cover of the book lived up to expectations. Nice review

Your review is quite riveting and makes me want to read the whole series.

I do love historical fiction so it is very tempting, and Roman history is a definite plus.

I first met a druid character in a movie and enjoyed their role in the whole scene. I hope their contribution in this book is exemplary as well.
