    About this ebook



    Julia Livia Rufa is horrified when barbarians invade Rome and steal everything in sight. But she doesn't expect to be among the taken! As Wulfric's woman, she's ordered to keep house for the uncivilized marauders. Soon, though, Julia realizes that she's more free as a slave than she ever was as a sheltered Roman virgin.

    It would be all too easy to succumb to Wulfric's quiet strength, and Julia wants him more than she's ever wanted anything. But Wulfric could one day be king, and Julia is a Roman slave. What future can there be for two people from such different worlds?

    • 4/5
      There were times when this story of a romance between a Visigoth chieftain (Wulfric) and Roman maiden (Julia Livia Rufa), based on a real relationship, sparkles and then there are times that I made me nearly throw it down in disgust.The trials and tribulations of Julia trying to find a life within the Visigoth camp were often glossed over when it would have possibly been interesting for her to complain occasionally about the mess her hands were getting in, however she only talks about how much "fitter" she was getting. It just didn't quite gel right and made me wonder sometimes about the accuracy of the characterisation. Then Allen would throw in the scene in the baths, that made me think that it would have been better. Sometimes the characters wavered between 20th century and quite accurate period ideas. It was a good read but not a great read. I think part of what disappointed me was that the author couldn't quite choose between having a story of 20th century characters with a pseudo-Roman gloss and being true to history.
