Taurus edition by Christine Elaine Black Literature Fiction eBooks

Having read and enjoyed the author's first book in this series, Maximus, I was eager to get my hands on Taurus and partake of another trip to ancient Rome. Taurus, as a hero, is quite the character - strong, utterly gorgeous and conflicted from his upbringing at the hands of his evil grandmother. He is definitely not prepared to meet Kallie, sister of the Emperor, and Taurus's enemy. Taurus has never run up against a woman like Kallie - from their first meeting, she gets the better part of him and continues to do so all through the book, even when he (mistakenly) thinks he has the upper hand.

The love scenes are hot and convincing, and I liked the way the author weaves history through the passionate interaction of her characters. There was so much intrigue in ancient Rome, and the story demonstrates very well how it sometimes got the better of those who did the scheming. I loved the side story about Taurus's sister, Virga, and the man with whom she falls in love because she is seduced by his ideas.

Taurus, who starts out arrogant and (he believes) infallible, learns some lessons along the way and finally chooses his own path. I always love it when we see the evolution of a character. Can't wait for the third book in the series, which I suspect will revolve around "Magnus"!

Taurus edition by Christine Elaine Black Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book. From the very beginning the characters were well portrayed- good development on the part of Taurus. He's the sort of hero you know needs to mellow. He does, and is very likeable for it. I was aware of less development of character in Kallie, though the ending proves all people change a little according to their circumstances. She was a very accomplished young woman at the outset and remains so throughout the story. There's sufficient historical detail to satisfy the average romance reader; I personally liked this second book in the series better because there seemed more detail to plunge the reader into the era. The plot is simple yet interestingly fresh. There are a few fairly predictable twists, but the pace is excellent throughout which propels the story, and the reader to keep on reading right to the end. The writing and editing are excellent.
I really enjoyed this book and oh how I love Taurus. I think he is my ideal man! strong and fiery in his temper yet unrivalled in passion. The front cover does him justice, I could picture his face as he spoke. The story was lovely, not full of action but a tender love story that has many twists and turns and challenges.

Kallie is the kind of woman any would want to be. Even though she is the sister of the emperor, she is skilled with a bow an arrow, confident, adventurous and strong willed. It is these traits, which are unusual for a Roman woman who should succumb to a man's every order and do as she is told, even if it means marrying someone she hates for politics, that Taurus finds fascinating. Kallie refuses to be used by the men around her and believes in making her own fate. Taurus soon comes to realize he doesn't own her, no matter how much he threatens and says it.

The ending to this book was sweet and paves the way for a great sequel. I have not yet read book 1 in this series, but it seems this can be easily read as a standalone book. I look forward to reading more.

*received in exchange for an honest review*
I picked this book up for free, but am now off to buy Book #1 in this series, Maximus, because I have to see how it started. This is a very well written novel with an intriguing plot, and a cast of characters that drew me in to read the novel in two days! I felt like I stepped back into ancient Rome. This is a gripping read that is unique and engaging. The writing is thorough, fast and interesting, as are the characters. I loved Taurus's alpha character, and his growth through the novel (because of Kallie!!) and the lead in for Book #3. Excellent, high quality read.
3 1/2 stars...I enjoyed this story for the most part, but I found the character's to be a little one dimensional. The heroine for most of the story lacked real development. The hero is arrogant , and easily manipulated by his tyrant of a grandmother. He does turn it around by the end though and becomes quite lovable. = )

It was slow in some parts, but picked up towards the end. It's a well written story, that has a great plot. It's not a ultra romantic nail biter. It's a quick, light, one dimensional read. It was a great story for being free and I'm glad I was able to check it out.
I really enjoyed this book. Taurus is a wonderful character whose alpha-male ways fit in perfectly with his position as ruler of an ancient city near Rome. Despite his brusque manner, we can see he has a good heart, and we witness his growth throughout the novel. Kallie was a fantastic heroine, an unusually brave and rebellious female for her time. The conflict between them was believable and the couple had definite chemistry. I loved the dialog, which felt very indicative of the time setting, and the historical components. I read this book as a stand alone, but I'll be checking out the others in the series.
