About this listen

Highborn and privileged, Valeria has never known life outside her father's Roman fortress. But when Hadrian's Wall falls, Valeria's world shatters.

Ripped from her bed, she's captured by savages. Terrified, she prays her betrothed will mount a rescue. But it is the enemy, a Pict with Celtic tattoos and hair of fire who wields his sword and fights for her freedom.

When she seeks refuge in the warrior's stronghold, the Picts eye her with distrust and force her to earn her keep as a commoner. But the longer Valeria remains, the more agonizing it becomes to conceal her burning love for the Celtic warrior.

Contains mature themes.

With a cover photo like that I thought there would be a bit more steam. It seemed like there could have been a bit more time devoted to the main couple when they actually were able to be alone together, which did not seem to happen as much. Did really enjoy a new & different perspective of Celtic & Roman time and living. Really enjoyed the characters, character development and story though. Will look to see if more stories are following on these characters, would read more. I found this book as it was on sale so it was nice to find a good story and on sale as a weekend read.

The cover photo didn’t completely match the story but great story.

This was such a fascinating story. What an imagination this author has. The descriptive details and the story line are incredible. The trials the two main characters went through was exhilarating and captivating. Strong, well developed secondary characters as well.
This was the wrong story for narrator Shiloh Grey.
She did not do the story justice and in fact was a terrible distraction. Her voice would do well with Regency stories, something dainty. If you can set her narrating to the back of your mind, you will enjoy this most fascinating story. I would still get this book & ignore the narrator’s voice. It’s really quite a story & well worth getting.

Love conquers all!

Where to begin? This story is supposed to occur in ancient times during the Roman occupation of Britain, but the storyline is crippled by glaring historical inconsistencies. A quick superficial Wikipedia search reveals:

Roman occupation of Britain was from AD 43 to AD 410. Christianity wasn’t the official state religion of Rome until AD 391. The term “Pict” was invented by Roman writers around 297 CE to refer to the different tribes of northern Britain. There was no tribe called the “Picts.” Side-saddles weren’t invented until the late 14th century. The term “milady” wasn’t used in antiquity.

I have listed above a tiny fraction of the inconsistencies throughout this work of fiction. The entire plot collapses under the weight of so many things that could not have existed at the same time. The author insults readers with this junk, and Audible does great damage to any expectations of quality by including this title.


Terrible story. Average narration. Not good enough to be on Audible.

Story line was good, but the narrator I didn’t care for. Probably my least favorite book from this author & that is mainly down to the narrator.

Good story

I am used to female narrators who can give a believable male voice. Her voices are all...well, hers. Even a male narrator who can deliver a believable female voice would be better. Antony Ferguson? Dave Geillis? Or my favorite, Tim Campbell.
The story has taken literary license to a whole new level, but it is, after all, fiction.
It's a fun listen...once. I doubt if I'll queue it up for a second listen.

Narrator not right for this kind of story
