For Life or Until by Anne Garboczi Evans

Summary

Subduing the barbaric hordes came easy, until he married one of them.

Everyone in the Celtic Catuvellauni village assumed Ness would marry the man she had loved since age fifteen. Their eventual matrimony seemed preordained. His inscrutable rejection of Ness sends shock through the entire community. Heartbroken but resilient, Ness accepts a marriage proposal from a most unlikely eligible bachelor.

Battle scarred and weary of solitude, Roman Tribune Aquilus trained to do just one thing all his life—stoically serve the empire. The beautiful tribeswoman perfectly answers a long ignored call from deep within his soul. Though he adores his new bride, when Ness harms a political connection, Aquilus lays down the law.

But Celtic women aren't inclined to submit to inconvenient rules, and the only obstacle standing between Ness and a Celtic divorce is Aquilus's garrison of legionaries.

Will Roman might, Celtic stubbornness, or something else entirely prevail?


My Thoughts

This is the first book that I read from Anne Garboczi Evans.  I have read reviews on her other books as well as this one and I see a lot of mixed feelings.  I did enjoy For Life or Until for the most part but I didn't exactly love it.

This book started pretty slow.  I struggled getting into it.  I'm not sure what it was that I needed, I just knew I needed something more.

Once the book got going I started to enjoy it more.  I liked the characters pretty well.  There were a few things that bothered me about some of their personalities but nothing I can completely pinpoint.

It was a pretty good book overall and I will probably recommend it to others.  Thanks for sending it my way!
