Dar Skara is taken and whisked off to train as a gladiator. Constantly under drugs because he is able to take down the men who are trying to subdue him, he faces Opal Seleria, the woman who is to train him. She soon teaches him a lesson. That anger doesn’t help him and he needs to harness his rage to be able to live beyond the next game. Dar sees Opal as the enemy, but as they spar, he learns to respect, and oh my goodness, love! Opal has denied her womanly side a long time. As a warrior, there aren’t too many men strong enough to take her on. But Dar is sexy, powerful and vicious. He’s everything she needs and wants and soon they are enjoying raw sex in forbidden encounters. Dar has something to teach Opal and hopefully she is able to learn the lesson.

I love this author. Nathalie Gray always gives her readers a hot adventure that is full of emotion and hot sex. She always gives her readers a plot to keep their attention and hold them captive. Her characters just leap from the pages. Dar is just so yum! And Opal is just the right woman for him. Although this story may remind you of the film The Gladiator, Nathalie Gray adds her own unique elements to the story and if this were ever filmed, wow...it would be an even bigger blockbuster! The interaction between these star-crossed lovers is raw and explosive. It’s wonderful to see how they finally realise that there are deeper feelings coming to light and when they finally realise this the story takes on a whole different direction. Nathalie Gray is an auto-review for me because she has never disappointed me, ever.
