A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Audrey
Abused and alone, Diana Aurelius has made herself head of her family's household. Fighting for survival in wake of a brutal attack by enemies, Diana has somehow managed to provide for a full household of women and children. Her efforts have taught her that nobody but herself will ever save her.
One evening, upon her doorstep arrives some of the Celt hero Arthur's men. Led by a man named Alaric they insist on using her household for lodging to set up a warning pyre, they are yet another example of warring men taking what they want, regardless of whom they harm in the process.
This group of men, though, soon proves themselves to be different. Willing to help sustain Diana's villa and providing much necessary protection and care, the household is soon more than willing to include them in their world. Diana, though, remains cautious, knowing exactly what warriors are capable of doing. But still, she remains unable to resist her attraction to Alaric.
Diana by the Moon is yet another wonderful romantic tale by the talented Cooper-Posey. With her dedication and sheer will, Diana is an enthralling and moving character. The threats of Saxons and the tumult of the British isle is depicted with an eye towards truthfulness, and because of that reveals the real threats of what it meant to try to survive in northern Britain. Alaric and Diana's hot and delicious romance exceeds expectations. Another "can't miss" by Cooper-Posey!

Book Blurb for Diana by the Moon
Length: Plus Size
Diana—a fiery kitten of a Roman woman, who hides a terrible past and struggles to lead her people on a desperate quest for survival against famine and Saxon raids. She is unable to trust anyone.
Alaric—a proud Celtic warrior and trusted lieutenant to the upstart British leader, Arthur, who must overcome his hatred of Romans if he is to fulfill Arthur’s ambitions in the north.
A haunting tale of two lives touched by the coming of King Arthur, and two hearts and souls struggling to come together against odds as great as those against Britain itself. Only together will they survive, or else be sundered forever.
