“Girl, fetch ale.” He perched on the edge of the table and smiled. Tell me why we shouldn’t seize what’s left of the Roman Empire once and for all.” Attila turned to the table and saw the fallen goblet, the milk dripping off to soak into the mat on the floor. If there is a sequel at some point, I am invested enough in their story to want to read it. I would have loved to see more of the back story actually told and more of what happened next. However, I found the historical setting fascinating and could see how with more development the story could have rated higher for me. I was also disappointed with the ending, which was too sudden for my taste. The romance was already developed apparently, but I did not really feel their love for one another beyond what they both seemed to think was good sex. The story itself felt very rushed and left me feeling dissatisfied. As the current story opens, the treaty has been broken and the two men find themselves once again thrown together as diplomatic relations are re-opened.Īlthough I found the premise fascinating because I would never have considered Attila the Hun as a romantic lead of any sort. They spent time together before the story begins as the general tried to form a diplomatic solution to the problem of the Huns attacking Rome. The Hun & the General takes the characters of Attila the Hun and a retired Roman general as a pair of thwarted, star-crossed lovers.
