Alba is a dutiful, if bored, young Roman wife. But when her childlessness threatens what is left of the family fortune, her husband forces her to lie with one of their top gladiators.She wasn't supposed to enjoy it. And she certainly wasn't supposed to go on to further erotic adventures.Marcus and Caius, the top gladiators in the ludum, are brothers-in-arms, and lovers in bed. The sex scenes - between the two of them, between Alba & Marcus, Alba & Caius, and among the three of them, together, are sizzling hot. The historical details, especially about the clothing, felt authentic, though I haven't studied up on that period.Still, I didn't see how there could possibly be a HEA, but Spartacus helped them out, even if he didn't know he was helping.
