Title: So many other great books out there, don't bother with this one
Review: OK - I confess I did read the whole book, but asked myself why more than once. This is not a romantic book nor is it good historical fiction. The heroine past and present is utterly weak. Any book where the husband rapes the wife and then they get back together is just disgusting. I recommend Sharon Kay Penman, Candace Robb, and Colleen McCollough's brilliant series on ancient Rome beginning with "The First Man in Rome", and recently followed up by the fantastic "Antony and Cleopatra".
