About this audiobook
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

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I haven't read anything from the Dark Hunterverse in a while and I wanted to get back to it so I've decided to re-read my way through all the books I've read so far. All I will say is that it's still has exciting as I remembered. I really enjoyed Grace's and Julian's story. Ms. Kenyon is a great storyteller.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This novel is about what you'd expect, given the title, but it is also surprisingly endearing. Romance novel meets a host of psychological complexes with a few Greek gods mixed in for good measure, Fantasy Lover proves very entertaining for occult/mythology enthusiasts looking for a more traditional romance novel. The Kindle version is in desperate need of a good grammatical editor!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the story line of each of Sherrilyn's books. I read them all so far. Now I can listen to them at work as well
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love these series. They are very entertaining and well written.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I absolutely love this book, but oh my god, this narration sometimes made me gag...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had read this long ago and hoped I would still enjoy it. I did, but you have to realize I am a sucker for fiction that combines modern day with mythology and this book has that aplenty. While Julian was over the top, that was part of the curse, so I could forgive the campy "we all lust after the sexy man" scenes. Grace was a well-rounded character that I could empathize with. The book is a quick read, but sometimes I want a piece of fluff mixed in. This filled that slot nicely.Recommended for fans of paranormal romance or those who like a dose of myth in their fiction.
