I couldn't put this book down!
Julia is a sheltered Roman woman who gets captured by Wulfric, a barbarian warrior invading Rome. She is taken as a slave and she has to learn how to cook and clean, things she has never had to do herself. She's planning to escape the first chance she gets but slowly she starts to realize how she has actually more freedom as a barbarian slave than Roman woman.
Soon she falls in love with Wulfric who has feelings for her also but being a warrior doesn't recognise it. But what future there can be for them as she is a slave and he the future king of he's people!
I absolutely loved this book! It wasn't too cheesy either which made it a lot more interesting to read, it's all about the love story but not overloaded with it.
I will definatly be reading this book again!

First novel by this author and wont be my last!
21 Dec 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I must say, as a Harlequin, I wasn't so sure about this product. Sometimes they lack depth. Also, this is not your typical Regency or a book with a Scot running around in a kilt. However, the idea of a captured slave to a barbarian (And what a hunky barbarian he is!)in an era many know about but kind of gets put on the back burner, was just too intriguing. There was also the delimma of a spoiled, beautiful aristocrat becoming said slave. Would she have the spirit and courage to stand up to these barbarians?
In fact, these two very different people come to know each other, and themselves, delightfully. Mrs. Allen's characters are alive with strength, courage, flaws and deep emotion. The heroine is not your typical chin jutting heroine, but a delightfully real combination of vulnerability and strength. The hero is not typical, either, but a strong, fierce warrior who does things that are so typically male and so sensative, one is amazed, yet laughs out loud. Funny and full of excitement, as well as historical facts my World History teacher would have been proud of my learning (even if it wasn't in a text book) I would recommend this book to anyone! Boo-yah! Mrs. Allen!

Not cheesy like the title!

I was pleasantly surprised in how much I enjoyed this book. I agree with the other reviewers that this is a nice change of pace for historical romance. The settings, characters and plot were refreshing. There were no (or very little) silly misunderstandings or outlandish stubbornness you come to expect from historical romance. I also liked that there was another female character challenging the lead female protagonist for the gorgeous hero. It was an added twist and a realistic situation. The quick ending was a little predictable, but definitely worth a read.

Surprisingly good story

I was utterly amazed as to how much I like this story. The title is sooo stupid, but the plot, the characters...wow, they were so good. I love both the heroine and the hero. One thing I appreciated is that there were few misunderstandings. This couple actually talked to each other. You have to warm into the story, but by the 4th chapter,the story is already moving. Good and funny read.
