Product Description
Dear Reader,
Being trapped in a bedroom with a woman is a grand thing. Being trapped in hundreds of bedrooms over two thousand years isn't. And being cursed into a book as a love-slave for eternity can ruin even a Spartan warrior's day.
As a love-slave, I know everything about women. How to touch them, how to savor them, and most of all, how to pleasure them. But when I was summoned to fulfill Grace Alexander's sexual fantasies, I found the first woman in history who saw me as a man with a tormented past. She alone bothered to take me out of the bedroom and onto the world. She taught me to love again.
But I was not born to love. I was cursed to walk eternity alone. As a general, I had long ago accepted my sentence. Yet now I have found Grace--the one thing my wounded heart cannot survive without. Sure, love can heal all wounds, but can it break a two-thousand-year-old curse?
Julian of Macedon

 cute but a bit cornball........ August 8, 2008
This was my first Sherrilyn Kenyon book. While the book was enjoyable, I do have to agree with other reviewers that a lot of the dialog was amateurish at best and not realistic at all. For example-who do you know that says the phrase "holy green guacamole"?
If the dialog had been improved, as well as less time spent on how "godly gorgeous" Julian was, how plain Grace was, and finally the cringe worthy "sleazy" inner dialog the H/H had for each other then the book would have rated four stars.
I liked the book enough to give the second book a try and see if the author's writing gains any depth, otherwise I'll skip the rest of the series.
3 stars for a good try.
 There's nothing fantastic about this book August 1, 2008

In a word, boring..
It follows the story of a man, who is cursed to be a love slave forever...ends up with a woman in present day, who sees him for more than his love slave talents...
It's a romance, yes...it's a mediocre romance. The story wasn't deep/strong/good enough...and neither were the characters. It's a very very very very light read..if you're looking for that.
I'd recommend Kresley Cole, or Elizabeth Vaughan..if you want something that's more stimulating..
 AWFUL July 29, 2008

This I believe is a book women might enjoy, since half of the books is about a description on how good Julian looks, and how erotic his touch over Grace is. The rest of the book might not be as bad, but it has a pink novel ending.
 If Looking For True Fantasy..This is For You!! July 17, 2008
WOW! Didn't think I would find an author to keep my interest like Anne Rice's Vampire series, but here it is! LOVED the lead characters and can't wait to read the next one. HOT and STEAMY and I was very surprized I liked it.
2.5 stars. A little too syrupy sweet for me. Too much like a fairy tale. June 19, 2008

It was ok to read, but I wished it would be over sooner. However, there was an interesting thought that stayed with me after reading the book. Julian was so georgeous and physically perfect that women were constantly coming up to him in public, making passes and invitations toward him. He was constantly surrounded by women and having to say no to women he didn't know. It reminded me that it is nice when strangers leave you alone.
