I loved this companion book to Shadows in the ashes. The parallel stories of a contemporary rock star and a retired gladiator in Roman times, held me fast. Duro and Gisel; Jonah and Mac. Two couples divided by time but walking in each other’s shoes.

Loved it.

I loved this time travel type of book. Chock full of interesting things about the Romans and a great story as well. A new author for me which I enjoyed immensely. I loved the romance side of things as well as it wasn't too soppy and had a lot of gentle romancing. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.
