I have mixed feelings about this book. It's a dark romance and warns readers upfront about elements present that some readers may not wish to read about. Dark romances are typically hit or miss with me. I don't mind dark elements as long as the love between the hero and heroine shines through the darkness and the hero and heroine do not abuse each other. Neither of those criteria were met with this book.

This story is very dark. I can't say I enjoyed it because I didn't like many elements of this book, but I also couldn't stop reading. I HAD to know what happened to these characters.

So, I'm giving this story 4 stars because it is well written and draws you in. I didn't feel the love between the hero and heroine at all in this story, but this story warned upfront about it's dark elements. I would say read this if you are a fan of dark romance or if you are looking for an interesting gladiator-themed erotica. If you want sweetness mixed with dark, this isn't the book for you.
