(More customer reviews)Britain under Roman siege, both the times and the people were grim and determined. This author has written some hard edged books so I was concerned as I read this book that it would be similar to 'Spoils of War' which was just unrelentingly grim and torturous. But I read through to the end and I was pleasantly surprised at the turns it takes and was satisfied with it's ending once I got there. I recommend it but only if you a) don't mind the initial grim torturousness of the heroine's captivity and b) have patience to get where it's going as I found that made the book worthwhile to me. YMMV, of course.

"When he met her inquiring eyes, he shrugged. “I hate gossip. This'll make ‘em wonder," he grinned at her devilishly.Brietta didn't know quite what to do with the way her new husband was behaving. He was taking part in the negotiations with the Romans, such as they were, and was gone all day almost every day. But when he was home, he was with her. Sometimes he caught the tail end of her training with her Grandfather, who, although he grumbled a lot about why she bothered to continue doing it, still managed to make it to the field where she practiced almost every day. He often put his hand on hers at dinner, or his arm around her waist while they were walking, employing very small, casual intimacies to tame her to his hand."
