This book sat in my TBR pile for about a year. What a mistake. I pulled it yesterday, and sat and read it straight through. It's definately a keeper for me, even though I needed a lot of kleenex at the end.

I only gave this story 3 1/2 stars because it would have been a better story had more of it centered around their love story. Most of it described (in detail, ad nauseum) how he traipsed all over the world conquering nations, what they all wore, and on and on. Whenever the love scenes were included, they were wonderful but they were more of a teaser. Roxanne was portrayed in my eyes as a spoiled princess who thought since she was raised like a man that she should be allowed to go to war and get away with too much. Alexander at times verged on insane because he thought he was descended from gods and more than once he survived wounds that would have killed others. If you're looking for HEA, this story has one but it is quite a surprise.
