4 1/2 StarsBarbarian Bride by Eva Scott is packed with action, adventure, history and romance. It really gave me the opportunity to travel back to ancient Rome and experience so many different aspects of the Roman and Hun cultures. It is a fascinating story that doesn't let go. Klara is a strong, fierce Hun woman, the daughter of the tribal chief. Following the murder of her husband on their wedding night, a series of events takes place, implicating Lucius, a Roman, in the murder. Klara had been kissed by him earlier in the evening, and he ignited her passion in a way she never knew possible.Both Klara and Lucius end up on the run from bounty hunters and they have to fight both separately and together if they want to survive. I loved the pacing of the story and the settings were wonderfully written. The characters are well-developed. There are lots of twists and turns and the romance provides the right amount of heat. There is so much tension, as everything seems to be working against the two of them being together. This was a satisfying historical romantic adventure. I truly enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it. I will be going back and reading other books written by Eva Scott. Even though this is the second book in the series, I was able to read it as a standalone without issue.I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher for review purposes.
