Lists with This Book. Dec 29, Janett rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a free Kindle offer and my first read of author Lucia Jordan and for a short read she sure knows how to keep you engaged from the very start. This office romance has all the components of a sizzling, daring and witty story. It lays out a nice foundation between the two main characters Selena and Darius. I like Selena but I'm a bit u 4. I like Selena but I'm a bit unsure about Darius at this point. I'm uncertain if he's just a perverted soul or a man with a plan. I'm hoping it will continue into the next book just as strong as the beginning.
This book ends on a cliffhanger so be prepared to move on to book 2. Jordan offers many of her initial stories for free which is a pretty clever way of getting you invested for the sequels to follow. I enjoyed this very short read and highly look forward to the next book! Aug 13, Kanwarpal Singh rated it liked it. Sep 06, Deborah Corwin rated it it was amazing.

Oct 14, Virginie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Really loved reading this book. It was so funny at times and of course it was sexy most of the time.
It was short but so bitter sweet. I'm thinking i am gonna find this series amazing. Aug 13, Gregory Willingham rated it it was amazing. Good Like this storyline and characters. It does make me crazy how these are never a full story but more of a sample writing. May 26, Stephanie Bolen rated it liked it. Hot but not a novel Its a short story that stops at the good part. The sex scenes were pretty good, but it's one book broken up into five books that's just annoying and greedy. Dec 22, Becky Gates rated it really liked it. Ooooooh This story has the potential to be totally rocking it.
Hot, Sexy man who can control with so little effort. A sweet hungry female ready to take directions, and the risks that both are willing to take to play However, she cannot prevent herself falling in love with Tacitus, enemy of the Druids, who would turn her over for torture and cruxifiction if he knew of her true heritage. She knows that she is coveted by other officers in the legion and realises that Tacitus spoke the truth when he said that he enslaved her for her own safety.
However, her promise to Caratacus and her birthright dictate that she must betray him and this is heartbreaking. Nimue also has a task to carry out for her goddess, linked to a sacred bluestone, which her people hold in high esteem. I was so drawn into the world that the author created that I lay awake at night fretting about what would happen to Nimue and Tacitus and whether they would get their HEA! Nimue is a fantastic heroine, not only brave but also possessing great knowledge as she is an acolyte to the goddess Arianrhod.
She seeks guidance and enlightenment in some mystical scenes which take place throughout the novel. She is also a skilled healer and archer. She is loyal to her people and wants to free them from the indignities she sees them suffer. She knows that Tacitus will view her actions as the ultimate betrayal and also what will happen to her if she fails.
She also carries a secret burden and heartbreak from her past. Tacitus is a wonderful hero, masterful and passionate. A complex and honourable individual, he does not always conform to Roman views. He has never taken a slave and will not force himself on a woman. Tacitus is entranced by Nimue, who is open and confident in her sexuality and is amused that she, a slave, gives him orders. He strives to understand her customs and beliefs.
However, what will he do when he discovers that she is not just a Celt, but a Druid who communes with the gods, let alone one who is hell bent on betraying his trust? The author creates a world full characters that jumped of the page. I am no scholar of ancient Britain but she appears to have done a lot of research into the customs, religion and medicinal uses of various herbs etc. The erotic scenes are beautifully executed and you could really sense the growing connection between the lovers, who, despite being sworn enemies were a perfect foil for each other.
I feared that I, along with my Kindle, would spontaneously combust whilst reading it! I recommend this novel to all lovers of erotic romance, especially those who like a historical theme and a strong heroine and a leading man who is the embodiment of male sexuality and virtue. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
Hi Tina, thank you so much for having me on your blog today! What inspired you to write this series?
Erotic Historical Romance
It is clear from your work that you are fascinated by Roman and Druid history. While having a hot Roman warrior appear in my head was awesome enough, he was searching for his Druid princess and that really hooked my interest. Why would a Roman soldier be searching for the bitterest enemy of his Empire unless he wanted to kill her? Why do you think readers are drawn to reading historical romance, particularly ones containing such sizzling scenes? They were great for fact checking and getting the basic info I needed for my Roman life. Other than that I used the internet a lot, cross referencing facts and interesting snippets I found.
It was challenging to find any information at all about the Druids. This means the only contemporary written evidence we have is from the Romans, who were obviously biased. One of the biggest issues for me is the power, or lack of, that women had over their own lives in the past. In the Druid Chronicles my heroines are educated and powerful in their own right, but living in a time of enormous change when patriarchy is encroaching into their culture I did mix things up a little in the fourth book, Tainted J I also tried to keep true to the time, and this can be harder than it sounds.
I wanted my heroes and heroines to be sympathetic to the modern reader, but without them sounding as though they belonged in the twenty-first century. I love this because it shows the kind of woman she is, living in her time, and acknowledging that despite how she feels about Tacitus he will never see her as anything more than a fragile, dependent woman. Where do you get your inspiration for your historical characters from, particularly the swoon worthy alpha males? They all live inside my head! Although I will admit that Henry Cavill has always been my inspiration for Tacitus, the hero in Enslaved.
With the advent of social media and the internet, I imagine the life of a writer is now far less lonely than in previous generations. How useful have you found social media and the internet to you personally in your journey as a writer? Set in the ninth century in Pictland before it became Scotland , these books follow tough Scots warriors who find love with their brave Pictish princesses.
More details can be found here — The Highland Warrior Chronicles. To find out more and for a chance to read the first chapter read on. Hungry for revenge, Druid acolyte Morwyn turns her back on her goddess and vows to fight the Roman invaders. Bren, pledged to the true Briton king, has spent three years undercover in the Roman Legion. When his own unit attacks a fiery Celtic beauty, he saves her the only way he can — by claiming her as his prisoner. But the wrath of a spurned goddess echoes through the land and Morwyn and Bren need to overcome their past, put their trust in each other and face their deepest fears for the chance to survive in a fractured world.
Previously published by Penguin US in Captive is the second book in The Druid Chronicles, with sexy alpha warriors and their mystical Druid heroines. Christina Phillips is an ex-pat Brit who now lives in sunny Western Australia with her high school sweetheart and their family. She enjoys writing contemporary, historical and paranormal romance where the stories sizzle and the heroine brings her hero to his knees.
She is addicted to good coffee, expensive chocolate and bad boy heroes. She is also owned by three gorgeous cats who are convinced the universe revolves around their needs. They are not wrong.

Once more it is written by one of my favourite authors! He was a master of seduction — but no match for the magical allure of the woman he wanted most. Carys knew from the moment she first spied on Maximus in his naked barbarian glory that he was a dangerous Roman centurion — his taut, battle-scarred flesh marking him as a fearless warrior. But her desire for him was as undeniable as it was illicit. Now Carys and Maximus must overcome the devastation of war and face the ultimate sacrifice if their forbidden love is to survive.
