Book Review - Her Last Day by Kat Holmes & L.J. HolmesGenre: Historical romance with a touch of paranormalFirst Line: Daria woke.Book Review:Daria, a natural beauty and humble woman from a family of means, gets bartered off as a wife to the highest bidder.Titus, a business man, philanderer, and control freak, lives every minute with high expectations and a low tolerance for humanity in general.Together they act as abuser and the abused. It's August 24th 79 A.D. in Pompeii, is there any chance in hell for Daria to find a few hours of happiness before her world turns to ash?To be honest, the title told me the heroine dies and why would I want to read a story with a sad ending - I don't do sad. I came very close to passing over it for another of L.J.'s stories, but I'm so glad I reconsidered.Kat and L.J. Holmes created a historical romance, introducing an impacting depth to the story through its characters and passion. They summed it up with a satisfying ending that this happily-ever-after-freak found amazing.There's a paranormal twist that isn't really mentioned in the tags or description of the books. These two authors pulled a rabbit out of the hat and you'll see why when you read it ;)No spoiling it...the resonating depth of this love story kept me thinking about its story-stars long after I'd finished reading their story. I hope these two authors continue writing more stories together - and I definitely recommend this story as an excellent historical paranormal romance.Kay Dee
