Despite that pledge, she falls hopelessly and passionately in love with Marcus Alexander Britanus, a Roman. And it will take all her cunning and skill in war to keep the precious erotic rapture she can find only in his arms....

Excellent

The old Beatrice small books were just the best. So filled with twists and turns great sex. Love it.

A story you can sink your teeth into…

The lush settings, the melt-you-to-the-core passion, the wonderful fleshed-out characters, and the historical events in the background kept me engaged and up all night to finish.


🎙️ Narration was good. I recommend listening to ALL of her books at 1.7+ speed!

My Favorites

1. The O’Malley saga | The ultimate family saga of female powerhouses and the men they bring to their knees.
2. World of Hetar series | The “Throne of Glass” of bodice rippers!
3. Beloved | A historical feast.
4. A Moment in Time | A breathtaking love that is an echo in time. Emotional and unputdownable.
5. The Love Slave | A sensual historical hot-for-teacher romance.
