Random Rita ~ When In Rome!

♥

Good evenin’, ladies!

I’m very late today…thank God it’s Friday somewhere in the world *facepalm!*

My only excuse for missin’ last week was the summer heat got into my bones and, at my age, it made me so lazy, I could hardly bring myself to move LOL!

I’m back now, though and, as promised, I’m bringin’ RomeWard with me!!!

Nancym5621 rec’d this first fic a couple weeks ago and got me all inspired for the idea of a RomeWard post…thank you, Nancy darlin’ MWAH!!!

Born as a Roman slave, Eduardus serves a depraved mistress and learns that he is nothing. Stolen into a world of violence, Eduardus slakes his thirst without remorse, and learns that he is a monster. Fleeing to a world of asceticism, Edward finds relief in oblivion and learns that life is pain. But in rescuing his Singer, Edward learns that he must live.

It’s a WIP and I’ve read all 19 chapters. Although his horrific time as a slave in Rome is only briefly touched on so far, I’m includin’ it because of the summary and Edward’s Romanized name…Eduardus!

One of the things I’m enjoyin’ about Angelus Ardens is the historical setting, mostly centering around Forks in the late 1800’s. There’s no mind readin’, no sparklin’, and Edward has a way with animals…well, the ones he doesn’t eat LOL! Like his horse(s) and Bella’s dog!

Needless to say, I’m enjoyin’ the hell out of it and can’t wait for the next update!

Isabella’s heart was stolen by an injured soldier when she was sixteen. Now, she is brought to the empire’s capitol for the marriage market to be sold to the highest bidder, but Isabella has other plans for fate. AU, AH. E/B. Loosely based on Ancient Rome, but mostly made-up fluff with citrus. Complete in 8 chaplets.

Complete at 10 chapters, Musegirl’s fic is packed with romance, angsty goodness, steamy sex and a great HEA that resolved all the angst to my satisfaction LOL!

Well worth a read!

When I left the arenas and came into her service, I did not realize what she would do with me…and to me. I was only supposed to be there to protect her, but she demanded more. She demanded my body.  Rated: Fiction M – English – Adventure/Romance – Edward, Bella – Words: 18,407 – Reviews: 416 – Favs: 876 – Follows: 308 – Published: Feb 9, 2012 – Status: Complete – id: 7818405

Pompeii, 79 AD: In the midst of disaster can Bellona, a Roman noblewoman, save her gladiator? Or will the two lovers be forced to spend eternity apart?

Age of Edward 2012 1st place winner in Literotica category.

Sheviking’s entry was one of the winners, as you can see above. As you can also see from the settin’ of Pompeii, it did NOT have the kind of HEA we love to see. Nevertheless, you really don’t want to let that put you off readin’ it!

Well, these are the ones I gleaned from my TBR! Let me know what you think and, if any of you have found other RomeWard fics, cough ’em up!

By the way, the lovely Jolori sent us a couple new RA banners, which RF has already added to the rotation! Thanks, Jolori, darlin’! {{HUGS!}}

Happy Friday, y’all!
