Russell Crow left women swooning when he donned gladiator garb to fight for his life and his rights. In this new novel from Mrs. Hawkeye you can get another gladiator fix. Only this one comes with a lot more steam and a lot more sex. When wannabe gladiators sell them selves to a Ludus they expect to be bruised and bloodied and possibly die. But none expect to act as a stud service to the Domina. After years of fruitless efforts to conceive a child, Domina Alba is forced by her husband to mate with a gladiator of his choosing. Alba hopes its Marcus. A gladiator she has lusted after, but can not have. But then again Caius would not be horrible. Alba is not looking foreword to these mating sessions, but will do what it takes for her family and Ludus. She never expected to fall in love with her gladiators, or come to hate her uncaring husband. This novel is full on steamy sex that once you pick up, it will be hard to put down. This erotic novel is not repetitive like so many can be. It depicts scenes of male\male, female\male and threesomes. This is for those who like erotica and graphic scenes and language. Overall this is a very thoroughly enjoyable book and I hope this author continues in this genera.

This graphic novel is a wonder for the eyes. It’s a dark tale of special children and their fight for a different life away from abuse and shadows that have been their constant companions. The ending is more than a little abridged. It jumps 30 years into the future, and tells little of what happened. It would have been nice to know what happened in those years.
