Backcover Synopsis - Julia Livia Rufa is horrified when barbarians invade Rome and steal everything in sight.  But she doesn't expect to be among the taken!  As Wulfric's woman, she's ordered to keep house for the uncivilized marauders.  Soon, though, Julia realizes that she's more free as a slave than she ever was as a sheltered Roman virgin.

A good story - enjoyed it.

Enjoyable read. A little long and unbelievable in the set-up. Interesting once the story gets going.

Bree is running the family coaching business while younger brother is finishing school. One night Bree is driving the coach and ends up meeting an Earl. Older half-brother James is a part of society and will be marrying a society miss. James is afraid of being embarrassed by his half-siblings, but he needn't be--they clean up well.

Virgin Slave, Barbarian King? Puh-lease, no question that this is a horrible title, that it in itself goes in the completely wrong direction if historical romance is seriously trying to elevate itself above bodice ripper status,

Differant take on a Romance-Very Good
