Enjoyed this way more than fire of heaven since we got to see one person look at the man that was Alexander the Great.

I was surprised to read Bagoas talking about sleeping with Alexander since the sex scenes were between the lines via flowery language but I enjoyed the book


Enjoyed the book will definitely read the next one.

The fact this book could have been a movie but was dropped….. I’m gonna become a supervillain because this book deserves all the bells and whistles of a movie franchises!!!!!!!!!

The romance was everything as usual for Beverly Jenkins. Plus the yearning got to me especially when we learned more about their lives. I read the other two books in the series first since I’d wasn’t in the mood for another western romance. So today I finally had a chance to finish it and I enjoyed everything.

What I would give for a movie about any of Beverly Jenkins historical romances. Definitely gonna read the other historical romances she has.
