MarcoAntonio and Amaryllis is a romance you might be told while sitting around a fire with your girlfriends. A long ago era, a forbidden love, a bittersweet ending. Romance isn't my usual genre, but I didn't mind this one. I really felt the emotions of the characters jump off the page: the love and the lust, the desperation and the urgency.The blurb implies that this is a historical romance, but I was disappointed to find few elements of the Anglo-Spanish War. However, what M&A; lacked in historical elements, it made up for in another, rather unexpected, plot twist, which I won't spoil for you here. Not only that, but there are a couple of other twists thrown into the mix that I hadn't seen coming. Characters aren't always who you think they are!Overall, this is a good read and a unique romance you'll surely enjoy.
