The hero Alexei is finally ready to get is revenge on a man called Giles Hawkwood. He is on his way to confront his enemy when he is captivated by a stunning woman. He follows her and they have a brief interaction and share a kiss before she runs away. The heroine Eve is shocked by the instant attraction she felt towards the mysterious man, but she leaves him fearing the wrath from her father if she is not by his side as he ordered. When Alexei arrives to confront Hawkwood he is crushed to discover that she is the daughter of the man he wants to destroy. He is also angry as he believes she deliberately set out to entice him as a sort of powerplay by her father. Nevertheless, he does what he set out to do and Hawkwood disappears. When Eve hears of her fathers disappearance she and her mother are relieved and finally feel free, however now she must approach Alexei to try and convince him to sell back a property to her. Alexei sees this as his chance to find out what type of woman she really is. He tells Eve he will sell the property if she spends the night with him. Eve agrees knowing that she needs to make this sacrifice to save her mother. But she is devastated and ashamed when Alexei changes his mind the next morning. Alexei also feels ashamed by his behaviour and can't stop thinking about Eve, and when he discovers the reasons behind Eve's sacrifice he realises how wrong he was and must try and make amends. This book is dark with a capital D. It had me hooked from the start and reading it is like a roller-coaster of different emotions. The author touches on some very hard hitting issues, which are handled well. The reactions of the characters are spectacular, especially the heroine's breakdown to the hero. This is not really a book for character interaction, they don't really 'talk' much, but it doesn't hinder the story at all and in my opinion this makes the book even more explosive. I do think the ending and the heroine's forgiveness are too rushed and don't really do justice to the rest of the book. This is an intense and emotion packed book, and a great example of Julia James's style. Originally posted at http://everyday-is-the-same.blogspot....

** spoiler alert ** If you are interested in teeny tiny food and really huge egos, read Life, on the Line. The first paragraph of the letter that I received with this book says: " At the age of 36, Grant Achatz has already achieved the kind of success that most chefs, and indeed, most people, only dream of. In fact, he was literally at the top of his profession by the age of 32, when his Chicago restaurant, Alinea, was named the #1 restaurant in America by Gourmet magazine. Within months, however, Achatz's world would crumble when he learned he had Stage IV squamous cell carcinoma -- tongue cancer. The diagnosis couldn't have been worse. As Achatz notes, there is no Stage V. At best, doctors told him, he would lose his tongue and the ability to talk and taste, but live for a couple more years -- maybe. Instead, with the unflinching determination he has demonstrated time and again, Achatz opted to do things differently, and better." Then I expected to get some background information to help us understand what made Achatz tick and then get to the part where he uses that determination to save his own life against overwhelming odds. After the first 100 pages I was starting to understand his motivation but was not warming up to him or his business partner, Nick Kokonas. Reading a description of why Achatz's first interpretation of PBJ I wondered if I was going to make it through the book at all. This course consisted of a single grape with the stem still attached, peeled, coated with peanut butter and wrapped in a tiny brioche then lightly broiled. It failed to measure up to his standards until he found a vendor who could supply single grapes on a stem with a leaf still attached. Nonetheless I slogged through the next 100 pages of blatant advertising for his restaurant, Alinea, and his six-month totally loveless marriage and divorce. Finally on page 305 Achatz gets cancer. Bang! Like a rocket he skims over his initial diagnosis, second opinion (reacting exactly the same way that I did showing none of the unflinching determination that was promised), third opinion, chemo, breaking out in Erbitux zits, losing his hair, constipation, radiation, losing his sense of taste, burns, throwing up, losing weight, recovering his sense of taste, surgery to remove lymph nodes and getting back to normal. It is interesting that Achatz used Dr. Singh's real name and that the publisher's lawyers didn't make him use "Dr. X". Assuming that anyone can make Achatz to anything. I'm adding a sympathy star and recommending instead John Diamond's book, C: Because Cowards Get Cancer Too.... Later Note: Five publishers rejected Life, on the Line before Penguin took it on and Achatz. Penguin obviously knew that all the publicity Achatz has already had was much more important to sales than a well-written book. Achatz has also bragged in several interviews that he fired his ghost writer -- as if it weren't obvious.

Tibi knows what she wants, and she's aware of her worth much to the disappointment of her father, who finally snaps and orders Tibi to the temple of Obis to be a priestess and out of his way. Tibi feels she's destined to marry for Love and not for the political gain of his father, not wanting to go to the temple she escapes to the friend of their family, a gladiator Alexius, a know womanizer. Alexius had sworn to his friend, cousin of Tibi, that he was to not take Tibi into his bed, she's off limits, which is one of the reasons he feels so stongly about her, but now that she's at his gladiator school he can't help but fall just a little harder for the strong willed, chamelon like girl. I loved this book! I love historical Rome, so this was a perfect match for me! The city and the customs are colored on to the page in a way that you don't for once forget where you are at and with who. I loved Tibi's charcter even though she was still little green around the ears, but she was lovely, quick witted and brave, a very good match for Alexius who was smooth, suave and powerful - and um former gladiator. Yum. ;) This was more of a sweet love story than a hot steamy read, there was plenty of forbidden touches, forbidden emotions and temptation, it was really all about the seduction and not the act itself. If you love historical romance and Rome then this is for you, a beautiful love story definitely not lacking in passion, lust and expectations of the time.
