Virgin Slave, Barbarian King – Louise Allen
Julia Livia Rufa is a pampered Roman beauty used to a life of luxury and leisure – until the barbarians’ invasion of Rome forces her to abandon her life of decadence for one of servitude and slavery. More used to being waited on hand and foot rather than doing the actual cooking and cleaning, Julia initally finds herself out of her depth among the uncivilized barbarians. But soon Julia begins to adapt to their way of life and she starts to feel as if she’s finally found a place where she belongs.
Her captor, Wulfric, had been drawn to Julia from the very first moment he clapped eyes on her. She may be a Roman, but her warmth, her spirit and her kind heart draw him in like a moth to a flame and before long the Visigoth leader finds himself desperately wanting to have Julia in his bed.
Julia knows that she should feel contempt for Wulfric for forcing her to do menial tasks and for taking her away from her world, but his tempting kisses and skilful seduction leave her breathless and unwilling to leave the first man she has ever fallen passionately in love with.
But Julia and Wulfric are from two different worlds and from different cultures. Will their passion and love be able to triumph when external forces are determined to keep them apart? Or is their love strong enough to survive in a time where war and chaos prevails?
Louise Allen’s historical romances are in a class of their own. Meticulously researched, wonderfully evocative and absolutely mesmerizing, her novels are a surefire guarantee of excellence and in Virgin Slave, Barbarian King, she ventures away from Regency England and recreates Ancient Rome superbly.
Romantic, enthralling and atmospheric, Virgin Slave, Barbarian King is a powerful love story featuring two vividly drawn characters you will find absolutely impossible to resist.
Rich in history, passion and intrigue, Virgin Slave, Barbarian King is another stellar example of Louise Allen’s storytelling prowess.
