About this listen
In AD 107, after a grueling campaign against Rome's fierce enemy, the kingdom of Dacia, Gaius Fabius, returns home in triumph. With the bloody battles over, the commander of the Lucky Fourth Legion now craves life's simple pleasures: leisurely soaks in fragrant baths, over-flowing cups of wine, and a long holiday at his seaside villa to savor his pleasure slaves. On a whim, he purchases a spirited young Dacian captive and unwittingly sparks a fresh outbreak of the Dacian war; an intimate struggle between two sworn enemies with love and honor at stake.
Allerix survived the wars against Rome, but now he is a sex slave rather than a victor. Worse, the handsome general who led the destruction of his people now commands his body. When escape appears impossible, Alle struggles to find a way to preserve his dignity and exact vengeance upon the hated Romans. Revenge will be his, that is, if he doesn't lose his heart to his lusty Roman master.
Dominus is a plot-packed erotic m/m fantasy that transports listeners back to ancient Rome during the reign of the Emperor Trajan (98-117). This is the first book in an alternate history series - a tumultuous journey filled with forbidden love, humor, sex, friendship, political intrigue, deception, and murder.
©2014 JP Kenwood (P)2019 JPK PublishingAlle is a very likeable character and the reader becomes invested in him, so much so that you actively dislike Gaius and need the arrogant slave owner and General to be brought down a peg or two; I certainly hope this happens later in the series as the power dynamic is very one sided( as it would be in Ancient Rome but I am a modern reader). The supporting cast are interesting and well developed and there are mysteries that need to be solved in the rest of the series.
All in all would highly recommend. The only criticism I have of the audible is that Alle’s voice did not sound right; it wasn’t light and attractive but slow and a bit dumb but maybe this is deliberate because Ally is playing a game.

But after a while I got more in to the story and it was entertaining.
Nick J Russo only does the prologue and epilogue that is set in modern days. And just after this first book I don’t really understand the connection of that to the main story. But I love Nick’s narration.
Hannibal Hills narrates the main story and does it well. There are a few high pitched voices that don’t suit me, but that is personal taste. My main problem is that he uses accents for some side characters that I have a hard time to follow as a non native in English. But as I got more and more into the story it was easier to understand and therefore enjoy.
Fun story set in Ancient Rome

At first I wasn't sure how to rate this. The narration was excellent. Some of the sex slave voices had me cracking up, to be honest, but overall, they all sounded so different it was easy to keep in mind who was talking.
The story itself started out in Rome as a battle has been won and Gaius learns of a sex slave sale. He ends up finding a man there that was taken prisoner and waiting to be sold as a slave. After spending too much money, Gaius wins as highest bidder, then takes his new toy, Alle, back to his home by the sea. Once there, Alle plays a fool, pretending not to speak the language, not understanding what is asked of him, but when he finally sees Gaius for the first time as his owner, he can't leave.
Gaius lives in a world plagued by ancient battles and aristocracy. He's one of the soldiers that fights battles and comes home the victor. He's well known and his brother is next in line for the throne. But in every life, there are politics that keep people uninformed and dangerous.
Once he tries to break in Alle, his newest toy, he realizes how much he's wanted someone just like him, to have and enjoy. But when his world gets turned upside down, he's not sure how much he can take and survive.
I loved the writing. It was so well done. My only downside was how much sex there was (a lot!) and how the story didn't really get going until more than halfway through. I felt I knew a lot about the history of Rome, but wanted more in the way of story line. Otherwise, the characters were actually redeemable and endearing for the most part.
Remarkable story

I love the series, and have read all the snippets on JPK's website.
I am not a fan of audio books in general but this one is pretty damn good. The voices are extremely fitting.
I would say to you read or listen. You won't regret it!
