I like that the author summarizes the first two books at the beginning! In a series of books, this is a really helpful reference. The fact that a female warrior is a central protagonist is great too. It is a historical fiction book, so I think that I will pass on this one (not too big of a fan of historical books). Thank you for an informative review!

Thank you for a great review. The third book sounds as good as the first two books. It will be interesting to see where things go in this segment of the series.

Reading this sample makes me want to go out and get this book. It was one of those books that instantly for my attention and kept hold of it the entire time I was reading the sample.
This book looks like it is going to have a very great plot, storyline, and have very strong characters throughout.

A romance between a Roman soldier and a Druid warrior? Count me in! That’s the kind of historical fiction I can sink my teeth into. Thanks for the review, LV2R. :techie-studyingbrown:

This is actually a great book. When I read it I was captivated and the characters are great. I like how it's not like every other story that I've read and that it had its own touch of uniqueness. Recommend reading it.

Amulet’s Rapture is the Book 3 in the Curse of Clansmen and Kings Series by Linnea Tanner. It is a historical romance fiction story that is centered on Catlin and how she was able to endure physical and emotional suffering. The author has done another wonderful job in this book series. The book sounds interesting but as usual, I'll have to read the previous books in the series first. Thanks for the awesome review 👌

I like novels with strong female protagonists and Catrin seems like quite the character. However, I don't like reading series out of order. So if I will read the book, I have to start with the first book in the series.

A romantic fiction story that focuses on the romance of a Roman soldier and a Cantiaci Druid warrior. Recommended for those who like to read about Roman gods and Druids.

I'm not a fan of romance novels, historical or contemporary, so I'll give this one a miss. Enjoyed reading your review, though!

Female character who is also a warrior is the centre of story. I like this concept. Thanks for such detailed review including the previous books in this series. I wish to read it soon.

Interesting. Is it possible to fall in love to the same person twice? Marcellus and Catrin's story and adventure intrigues me. I added it to my to-read list.
