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? 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?

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.
