those who enjoy Egypt and/or Roman conquests
I put this book down twice today because I just wasn't interested in reading another desert/slave story. I was determined to finish it today, so once again I picked it up and pressed on. I'm glad I did as it was a terrific tale.
Danae is a strikingly beautiful young woman whose father has died and unwittingly left her at the mercy of his deranged nephew. She has fled her home and taken up residence in Alexandria, the capital. While fleeing, a Roman warship passes and an incredibly handsome office...more

This book is great just for it's time period. So few romances are set in ancient Egypt that the beauty is all in the time period. The secondary romance of the infamous queen adds a spice to a rather plain book. While the plot is interesting in its historical details the writing itself is a little flat.
Possibly one of the greatest romance/ history novels I have ever read! I am sad now that I have finished it and wish that there could have been more. I give it 5 starts!!!
I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down.
**1.5**
Almost didn't finish.
Strike 1: insta-love
Strike 2: inexplicable characterizations - bipolar characters whose moods or attitudes followed no apparent logic.
Strike 3: Failure to convey the time and place. Just sticking Cleopatra and Cesar into the story does not alone set the scene as ancient egypt.

This book was set in the time of cleopatria. It was okay but I did not really get the feel that the hero and heroine were passionate about each other.
