Review: Not my genre

This is the story of three people....1. Alysia, daughter of a prominent Greek physician, who is captured and sold into slavery in Rome.  2. Paulus, the Roman legate who buys and falls in love with her, and 3. Jesus, his rise, fall, and Resurrection and how he changes both their lives.I would describe this as Christian romance and Biblical historical fiction.  While not my preferred genre of reading nor what I expected, I found this book well written and interesting.  I believe the author made every effort to keep the historical background as accurate as possible.  The ending is satisfactory but also leaves plenty of room for a second story of the lives of Alysia and Paulus.
