The Romantic by Hudson Owen stars two fighters - Sebastian and Virgina. Hudson has written a graphic story about their adventures and their love for each other. I feel it could easily be made into an action-packed film.Here is a short excerpt from the first few pages:'Sebastian watched footage of this gladiator and his fights.“The Syrian, as he is known, has a record of eleven victories. As you can see, he fights with a variety of weapons including the scimitar. He has medium martial arts skills. He cannot kick high due to an injury. Treat him with respect, strike early and hard, and you should emerge the victor.”In a black belt robe, Sebastian went through a martial arts routine, or kata, throwing kicks and punches at the heavy bag. He took up a gladius, as the Roman sword was known, and practiced feints and thrusts with it.'I did like the unpredictable twists in the story and the upbeat ending. And the book cover is magnificent.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.)
