Product Description
Adora! Her beauty was legend. And in the dying days of the great Byzantine Empire that last vestige of what had once been Imperial Rome her value as the emperor's daughter was priceless. Three men claimed her as wife. Orkhan, the powerful Ottoman sultan; the dashing pirate Alexander, lord of Mesembria; and Prince Murad, to whom Adora's heart truly belonged. In a grand epic that sweeps the reader from the golden palaces of fourteenth-century Byzantium to the blazing sensuality of the sultan's harem, Adora was a woman who firmly controlled her own destiny because she and Murad were meant only for each other. And together their passions would forge an empire. Adora! Her name was the secret of all love.

 Adora by Bertrice Small November 10, 2008
Very fast delivery to Great Britian. Well packaged and as described. Many thanks for your custom.
 bodice ripper, rapist hero September 26, 2008
I read this one back when it was first published and it read exactly like a 1980's bodice ripper. The heroine has multiple husbands. The hero has multiple wives, but unlike her he has them simultaneously. Yup he has a harem and this is one of Ms. Small's many harem "romances". Where's the romance in sharing your husband with other women?
I really disliked this book. The heroine's first husband has a eunuch rape her with a wooden "thing" because he can't be bothered to take her virginity himself. Her second husband rapes her after putting her in some drugged state. Her third husband (her first one's son) rapes her before the old man is cold. And he's the hero!
Save your money.
Another Hit September 17, 2008
After Small took what I found an incredibly unsuccessful foray into cotemporaty romances... this book was refreshing to say the least! Once again set in historical accuracy and surrounded by characters that affected the real history of the world, Small has done it again. Enough romance to portray the deep passion between characters, but additionally, historical events that shaped the world and additional characters which added great plot to the storyline. Well done Ms. Small!!! Please, keep to what you are the obvious Queen of and leave the smutty little books to the lesser authors.
 Fantastic May 8, 2007
This book is wonderful! I love the mix of history and romance. I fell in love with the characters(even the not so nice ones)Ms. Small has a very dedicated reader in me. I would definetly recommend this book!
Great book!! April 22, 2007
This is one of my favorites. It starts with Adora as a young girl and ends up with her as an old woman. Adora is a strong character who grows and changes with all the events in her life.
