Four novellas of love throughout history beginning in the final days of Pompeii until the days of Napoleon.Pompeii by C N Bird is an interesting romance set in the final days of Pompeii, for anybody who has been to Pompeii there are more than enough stories to tell, this is just one of those that has been written down. It doesn't move as quickly as the others and seems a bit slow in places but it is still a well written and enjoyable tale.Hunting His Highland Lass by Samantha Holt was probably my favourite of the stories, set in 1297 in Scotland a place of romance, and this tale lives up to that, it is a descriptive a moving story that will invite you in from the first page and keep you interested until the last.A Love Remembered by Em Taylor in England in the early 1800's is a story of love lost and found, and promises kept, an interesting tale that holds your interest as you wonder is he or isn't he.An Honourable Enemy by Lily Magee finishes off this quartet and is based at the time of a Napoleons attempted invasion of Russia. It is interesting have an officer in Napoleons army as the hero as very often they seem to be the villains, whilst the heroine is a Russian Aristocrat. An interesting mixture that works well and keeps your attention from beginning to end.Overall a good mixture of times and styles that work well together to provide an interesting spectrum of love that you can enjoy in small bites.
