Review: Hot fast read

One thing I really like about Jez Morrow is that she moves her settings radically from book to book.  This time it is set in a quasi Roman time,  with an Empire that rules the wild people.  Devon rules a rich province of the mighty Raenthe Empire.  He frees the gladiator Xan,  and also secretly (or not so secretly!) lusts after him.  Circumstances put them together.  I liked the characterizations,  I liked the civilization and it was hot.  My only quibble is that it is not a full length book and it's charging $8.32 which is definitely a full book rate, so it loses a star there.  I would have liked an epilogue showing them happy at the end,  rather than just the struggle to get there.  Nevertheless,  Jez Morrow is definitely on my auto buy list and this is up to her usual hot standard,  I just want more!I see now the book is listed for $5.32.  That's a bad lesson to teach your audience.  Next time I will wait 3 months and get it for $3 off...
