I absolutely adored!! this. The kiss in the Gladiatorial arena was my absolute favourite. You had the hilarious, ridiculous set-up, and then kiss. Oh, the kiss. One of my favourite kisses I've read about this year. It wasn;t just a kiss, I swear, they were falling in love right there and then. Tender and sharp and hot and bitter and sweet like the all-time great kisses we've all had. I'm still thinking about it, a whole 24 hours after I've read it.
