I thoroughly enjoyed Maximus. This is a well-paced, interesting story, and I especially liked the setting of Ancient Rome. Ms. Black weaves history through her romance with a deft hand. The attraction and tension between Carissa and Maximus builds nicely and their seperate stories are believable. Milo is an interesting, eccentric old man, and the son Caius is a delight and never takes away from the blossoming romance. As secrets are revealed and guilt over youthful errors confronted, the two learn the true meaning of love, forgiveness, and family.
