Marcus Magnus was powerful, arrogant, and infuriating. A real man.

What can I say? Cheesy but fun. The age differential weirds me out, but the lack of rape was nice. Sigh...low bar, i know. Also liked the fact that the heroine is from 1772. Of course she has violet eyes, reads Latin and Greek, and hates corsets.
All in all, not a bad trashy romance for a snowy winter's day.

fun read with a woman time-travelling to roman times from regency england to find her love and then is suddenly thrust back into recency england.
Because I read so many books, I fall into slumps where my books turn out dissappointing. Then, a book like this comes along and reminds me why I love reading so much. This is an awesome story of undieing love. A must read as far as I am concerned.
