Adora makes lemons from lemons. Still sour.

I love a romance story. This was romance without the HEA.. I so wanted Adora to have true love from a man forever. 3 husbands, and only one who loved and adored her monogamously. She perceiver's. The story of her life depressed me. Always having to give up her own happiness for the greater good of an ungrateful family. I understand it represents historically how women were treated but it still grieves me. I read this as suggested to be like "Golden Dynasty" by Kristen Ashley. Not true. For Adora, did not make me laugh, ever. (

Blush: This is a sensual romance (may have explicit love scenes, but not erotic level)

Adora! Her beauty was legend. And in the dying days of the great Byzantine Empire � that last vestige of what had once been Imperial Rome � her value as the emperor's daughter was priceless.

Three men claimed her as wife. Orkhan, the powerful Ottoman sultan; the dashing pirate Alexander, lord of Mesembria; and Prince Murad, to whom Adora's heart truly belonged. In a grand epic that sweeps the reader from the golden palaces of fourteenth-century Byzantium to the blazing sensuality of the sultan's harem, Adora was a woman who firmly controlled her own destiny because she and Murad were meant only for each other. And together their passions would forge an empire.

Adora! Her name was the secret of all love.
