Summary
Honorable Mention in the 2019 Rainbow Book Awards!
Conquer. Own. Sacrifice everything.
Gaius Fabius knows a healthy son will secure his claim to the throne of Rome, but his devotion to his illegal Dacian pleasure slave, Allerix, could destroy his dreams of supreme power. Determined to solve the mysterious murder of a dear friend, Gaius searches for clues hidden deep in the palace that threaten his future and his family.
But while he and Allerix share passions in and out of the bedchamber, another assassination sends Gaius and his captured prince back to the vanquished kingdom of Dacia. In order to protect his beloved concubine, can Gaius find the courage to sacrifice his own heart?
Lose. Submit. Betray everyone.
Allerix knows vengeance for the vicious destruction of his homeland is within tantalizing reach, but only if he can convince his Roman master to trust him. When an unexpected ally interrupts his plans, Alle sets aside his lust for revenge to embrace the ecstasy of Gaius’ unbridled devotion.
But a surprise reunion with a childhood friend and an unforeseen return trip to Dacia remind Allerix of all he has lost while revealing the honor and glory that remain to be won. To earn the respect of his surviving kinsmen, can Alle betray the only man he has ever loved?
Dominus is a plot-packed m/m historical fantasy set in ancient Rome during the reign of Trajan (AD 98-117). Blood Before Wine is the third book in this four-book alternative history saga - a tumultuous adventure of forbidden love, humor, friendship, political intrigue, deception, and murder.

Even better than the previous 2
What an absolute rollercoaster of a listen that was! Tremendous highs and lows along the way and once again superb characterisation and performance by Hannibal Hills. I almost didn't want it to end and am seriously tempted to go right back to the beginning again. Surely this can't be the end for Gaius and Allerix though, we need more of their story and more of this excellent audio version of it.

FANTASTIC.
I know this was a long audio, but I wanted it to be longer. Fabulous storytelling, fantastic narration. I was in audio heaven. J.P Kenwood's Roman obsession shines through in the intricacies of her descriptions. For a history geek who loves MM, this series is a must.

Absolutely brilliant!!!
My God what a journey!!! I don't even know how to begin describing how much I loved this book. The plot is amazing, I never know what's going to happen next and I love being surprised. I loved the politics and the secrets. All the main characters are fantastic and I adore them and care for them. What I loved the most is how the relationship between Gaius and Allerix evolved and changed. It was perfect and the ending made me cry like a baby. I was heartbroken. I really need the next book. This series is fantastic and the audiobooks are brilliant. The narrators were perfect. I had the best time listening this book.

Engrossing
I enjoyed reading this book and the audio didn’t disappoint. Even though I knew what was coming, the ending still made me cry!
Roll on Book 4 where (I hope!) our heroes will be reunited and certain plot strands will be resolved. Can’t wait! Love this series.

Epic MM Romance in Ancient Rome part 3 amazes!
It is difficult to express how much I enjoyed and became immersed in this third installment of the Dominus story arc, which finds Alle and Gaius reunited following Alle’s imprisonment for stealing a dagger… they’ve truly missed each other, and their reunion sets the stage for a new understanding between them.. There is a lot going on here in over 16 hours of audio (masterfully done I might add), and when the action moves from Rome to Dacia, the story definitely goes in a direction I wasn’t expecting. All of the plot points from the first two books are brought forward (i.e. Lucius’s murder investigation), but full resolution is promised in Book 4, not here. All of the colorful members of Gaius's extensive household family appear, and the ending, which took me by complete surprise, is all the more reason to await Book 4 with much anticipation!
