pickA lovely light, invigorating read (along with prequel: I am Livia) style of writing is really easy to follow and keeps you captivated. A great story told through the perspective of 3 women central in Augustus Caesar‘s life. I felt the characters and their feelings and was able to explore their decisions which i always appreciate in any book. Recommended!
pickInteresting and enjoyable look at events from the differing viewpoints of three women in Augustus's household
pick4 ⭐ this is the sequel to "I am Livia". It continues the story of Livia(Augustus wife) and also Selene (Cleopatra's daughter) and Julia (Cesaer Augustus' daughter. Each chapter is one of their voices. I really enjoyed! The intrigue and politics of that time, makes one think of present, if we take our liberty for granted.

pickI love tales steeped in history. Roman history was primarily recorded by men w/ political motivations, so many exact events are debated still today. The author is phenomenal at sticking close w/ history, but adding a believable account of what inspired events.
This is the 2nd book in a series, I never did read the 1st. This novel stands on its own nicely. I would recommend for those who enjoy Roman historical fiction & don't mind romantic plots.
This was a free Kindle book I started on a whim & I‘m surprisingly really enjoying it!! Told from multiple POV and set in Rome following the conquering & deaths of Mark Antony & Cleopatra.
pickGreat listen on audiobook. Historical fiction with twists, turns, conspiracies, affairs, and murder. Kept me completely engulfed and invested. Wonderful!
pickI loved this book. It is an entertaining historical novel based in Rome. A great summer read!
