** spoiler alert ** OK, I'm giving it one star but I did read it all the way through.

I thought this headed towards pulp, not up to the quality of her other books (and a bit more towards porn-lit).

Also, I guess I can be nit picky, but Ramses claims that his cells can't die. He gives an example of using the elixir on plants hoping that his subjects will be able to eat forever, but the awful thing is that the plants regrow in people's stomachs. Awful picture, but I state it just to point out that she's trying to make a point.

It seems to me, however, that Anne misses this point when Ramses and the female lead have sex. I kept waiting for he woman to get pregnant. I mean, his sperm would never die right, so there'd be a billion of them waiting in those fallopian tubes for the next egg to come by. I pictured her getting pregnant with his children for the rest of her child bearing years.

OK, I guess I took it too literally. My bad.
