The Roman edition by Caroline r Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

The Roman was a easily read love story..I gave it a 5 star rating not because of the complexity of the literary work but by how it followed. You felt a nice connection with the characters and the simplicity of the plot. All in all a lovely read
If you love a bit of Russell Crowe as a Gladiator then you'll just love Marsallas The Charioteer.

I don't read many historicals, but when I do, it's such a treat to be taken back in time. The author created a sizzling chemistry between Marsallas and Justina, realistic to their era. This was a fascinating and unique era to read about.

There are many more conflicts the characters need to overcome in a historical, which in present day no longer exist, and so it's wonderful to see how they solve their problems, overcome their fears, to that all important happy ending.
What an emotional ride! Caroline r really made you feel Marsallas' confusion and hate, Justina's love and despair and everything in between. And not to mention *that* scene in the baths! Hot on MANY levels..!

The historical background and context is light-touch but assured. Often historical fiction can easily jolt me out of the story - I'm a history blogger - and anachronisms can drive me up the wall. None of that here, Caroline clearly knows her stuff, but she doesn't allow the exotic imperial context of her story to overshadow what is essentially a very intimate, domestic story.

Really pleased to see that Caroline is planning another 'Roman' tale - can't wait to read it!
"The Roman" is filled with so much passion and raw desires. It is an intense historical fiction story with a testament of the power of true love. Marsallas and Justina's chance at happiness was ripped away very early on in their lives. The author did a splendid job of unravelling their story so well. Based on the blurb and the early portions of the story, I was initially angry with Justina for hurting Marsallas when they were young. But each time they were in each other's presence, the emotions leapt right off of the pages; it was clearly undeniable. And then, when Justina's side of the story came to light, I truly felt it for their stolen love.

I breezed through the pages of the story, gobbling up the words, eager to find out if true love was really true. Several times, I had to remind myself that the couple was not real, as I became frustrated with their inability to quickly allow the past to die along with the one that caused their turmoil. I further enjoyed how the author took liberty with the era and location, making events her own. This particular era was so meaningful. There were certain topics that were brushed upon that I would have loved to see explored more, though that is for my own curiosity. Consequently, I would love to read an extension of this works, as I always love to know the story beyond the story. Nonetheless, I was pleased with Caroline r's story. I would certainly recommend it to readers that enjoy a clever mixture of historical fiction and romance.
*4.5 Star*
As a lover of historical fiction, I was thrilled when I discovered my writing colleague Caroline r had released a genre. And I was curious too. Well, I wasn’t disappointed.

Caroline has a perfect voice for the historical genre and has the unique ability to create authentic historical characters to whom the modern reader can relate. Not at all easy.

The ancient Roman empire was renowned for making advances in western civilization, carrying on from the legacy of the ancient Greeks. But unfortunately, compassion and tolerance seem to have been virtues foreign to the Roman way of thinking, which celebrated glory, victory, success and achievement. Marsallas and Justina, the two main characters in this romance, are high achievers. She in the area of art, creating beautiful images and he in the area of sport, becoming a celebrated sportsman, gaining wealth enough to become a businessman/farmer. When they lost each other, they both threw themselves into developing their talents and both achieved measures of success. But their innocent, teenage affair, so pure and intense, had been spoiled by Marsallas’ evil uncle Quintus had inflicted terrible cruelty on the two of them. But after the death of their enemy, they find themselves face to face again. The question is, has everything been ruined between the two of them? Or can their love be rescued from the damage which has been inflicted upon it?

I was very happy to see that Christianity in the Roman Empire was depicted as a force for healing and hope.
Marsallas and Justina have a strong chemistry and things get a little hot around them at times – so if you like it hot when it comes to romance, you won’t be disappointed with this one. But honestly speaking, the story was so well written and interesting that even if it had been ‘sweet’ (i.e. no sex scenes) I don’t think any reader could possibly feel disappointed.

I want to read more and more from this talented author. It’s hard to believe this is only her first published novel.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved more on her first series the Roman....
This is a really great story. I love the H/h and found Ms. r writing to be excellent. I hope she continues to write love stories in this time period of history.
