Martyr of the Flaminian Gate by Kayden McLeod- In the time of the Roman Empire, it was declared that no solider would marry to distract him from battle and duty to the Emperor. Jacobus de Voragine hears these orders, but does not heed them. He seeks out the priest, Saint Valentine to wed him to Petronia.

It's an intriguing book that seems to be written by the goddess Aphrodite. Aphrodite is annoyed. Mortals no longer worship her and the thankless holiday leaves her exhausted. Zoe’s bitter feelings mirror the goddess’s own and soon Zoe receives an offer she literally can’t refuse. For the first time in her life, she feels completely free to express her sexuality. Finding herself in the goddess’s panties…err…shoes; Zoe learns being the goddess of love isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Review:

Captured....Heart and Soul features three great stories and is very well written.

In A Night in Aphrodite’s Panties, Ashlynn Monroe has created a wonderfully fun and loveable character in Zoe Lane. She had me laughing one minute and cheering Zoe on the next. As Zoe decides to dive into the book her sister pass off on her as a gift, she is shocked and at somewhat at a stage of shock when she encounters the goddess Aphrodite. At first Aphrodite is extremely mad and tired of mortals taking her for granted. She decides to let Zoe switch places with her for the night. In the process they both discover things about each other that they never knew.

Kayden McLeod, draws you in to the timeless love story of Jacobus and Petronia. Their love story is so heartfelt and makes you truly believe in soul mates and happily ever after. I truly enjoyed The Martyr of the Flaminian Gate. As you start your journey with Jacobus and Petronia in the Roman Empire, you see the hardships they must face with their beautiful daughter, Aelia. Together, father and daughter jump to the current year to find the struggles Petronia faces alone, while she is fighting to remember what has happened and who she is. But with the support of Jacobus, she will be able to rekindle a love that was once considered lost.


In, Valentine Arabesques and Adagios, by JT Seate, you are drawn into an excellent story where life can be so close to art. Danielle is dance instructor, who finds herself so very attracted to her younger student Matthew. When they start preparing for the upcoming dance production, their passions ignite and spiral toward a sensual dance of intimacy that will have you daydreaming for days to come. When Danielle ends up in Spain, she comes to terms with these things happening in her life that can change everything she once knew, to something she could never have dreamed of.

Captured...Heart and Soul is a fantastic combination of three great authors who will not disappoint. All the stories are so well written, it will definitely have you wanting to check out all these authors have to offer.
