Aurelius, a young man of Roman and Egyptian origins, finds himself intensely drawn to a Roman soldier named Attilio. He admires Attilio from afar until the soldier takes it upon himself to bring them together. Aurelius can’t deny his attraction but he has no idea what Attilio feels, if the man feels anything at all for him. His biggest fear, and yet his strongest desire, is to meet the one special person meant for him – and Aurelius believes Attilio is that person. Now he just has to convince the soldier of that fact.

Roman Seduction is more an interlude than a full story. While there is a storyline, it’s somewhat buried within the long passages of background information that would have been better served as dialogue.

The sex is hot, even if it is a bit modern for the time period. Out of the characters, Attilio feels to be the one most developed, though Aurelius has potential. There’s a depth of experience …

Feeling insecure, Attilio decides to not get emotionally attached with anyone while still satisfying his needs, which is exactly what slaves are for. With this in mind, both Aurelius and Attilio go to Vittore who is trading a young, untrained Aryan slave named Ewan. Aurelius, trying to impress Attilio, ends up buying Ewan, but Attilio is the man he really wants. Will this ever be possible? Aurelius soon discovers that Attilio is interested, but that means joining the army,  going to Carthage and most of all, learning to trust again. Is he willing to take this leap of faith into the unknown?

This is a prequel to Trespassing All Hallows Eve, and I must say that with its short length it reads like an alluring and seductive introduction to the characters; a quick peek into their lives, if you will, at what is yet to come. Indeed, Laura Tolomei, has set the scene to this erotic affair, in which I gather, …

Aurelius "Pullus" Ladeo is of a mixed race, from a Roman father and an Egyptian mother. As if that is not enough of a hindrance to some, he also happens to find himself attracted to men.

Attilio Metrono Tacitus is a soldier in the Roman army and has seen his fair share of war, famine, strife, and hate. He also knows what it is like to have a woman look you straight in the face even as she is stabbing you in the back.

Aurelius notices Attilio standing in the same spot time and again but does not have the courage to go up to him, afraid his desire will show. The legionary knows that Pullus is interested in men, and though he himself usually sticks with women, there is something about the other man that calls to him. So over the course of many nights they begin to get to know each other over …
