Publisher's summary

No one claimed the fickle Fates were fair.

While Rome once again prepares for war, Gaius Fabius Rufus confronts treachery and tragedy at home. With his future uncertain and his spirit shattered, Gaius chases the only dream he has left: the imperial throne. When a ghost’s secrets expose a dreadful mistake, will the Lion of the Lucky Fourth give up his destiny and embrace the forbidden love of a vanquished barbarian?

Abandoned and angry, Prince Allerix struggles to find purpose and honor in defeat. With fierce determination and his mother’s gift of magic, Alle crafts a new plan to exact vengeance and earn his Dacian kinsmen’s respect at last. When he must choose between revenge and saving the love of his life, can Allerix ignore his sacred oath and escape to happiness?

Fortuna alone can guide these two former enemies back into each other’s arms and hearts, but only if Gaius and Allerix are willing to sacrifice immortality and disappear from history.

Favorites of Fortuna is the final book in the Dominus saga.

loved it

I loved this book. Hannibal Hills and Nick J. Russo's voices really bring this story to life. Rome prepares to go to war and Gaius Fabius Rufus faces many obstacles at home. When in Dacia he sets his Wolf Prince Allerix free even though it breaks his heart. Will the fates bring them back together and have a love that would erase then from history?

In love with the series

I absolutely don't know what to say except I love this series so much. I love the characters. I love the plot. I love everything about this book. I'm telling you it had me laugh out loud at work many times and I'm not supposed to be wearing any earbuds but it was some funny funny stuff. What an incredible mind JP Kenwood has. I really envy his or her mind and the ability to write such a phenomenal series.

It would really be a sad thing if people just ignored the series and not just dive in and give it a try. The narration is phenomenal. I mean I love Gaius. I love all the characters. it's so sad too. it has sad moments where it's just like I lost a family member but the Way Gaius handled. the situation is just phenomenal.

his lover. I forgot his name but these two are really meant for each other. this is a must-read series and I hope that these series continue onto the next journeys soon. I hate waiting like forever before I get the next book.

The epic finally ends

I have really enjoyed these books – hours and hours of listening pleasure. I have to say the narrator, Hannibal Hills, has done a tremendous job. These books are full of characters, and he manages to give each one a unique and memorable voice. I especially like his Gaius. His women are interesting, but that often happens when you have a male narrator with a deep voice. Regardless, very well done. Also, Nick J. Russo pops on at each end to bring modern day to the stories and he’s always a treat to listen to.

The story – Allerix is home and safe. Gaius is home and safe.

But they are apart.
This being a love story, they needed to get back together. How that might actually happen was a mystery to me. But J.P. found a way that was pretty much believable – secret ring and all. I enjoyed the men’s adventures. Especially when Gaius’s political ambitions come to the fore.

I think what I loved most about this book was when the men faded into the background of Roman society. We have so few books of what later in life looks like – for men and women. Love doesn’t fade. Sex continues. Relationships and bonds deepen.

I’m sorry to see this series end, but I’ve had many many many hours of listening pleasure. I did note a little mystery was left unresolved – an extended epilogue set in modern times to come?

Epic!

The first and main word that comes to mind when thinking about this book ( the whole series, really) is EPIC!
I love how the fictional elements and the romance blends perfectly with the historically accurate facts and there’s a sort of “force” behind this story, a passion, that’s so powerful and inspiring!
Hannibal Hill is a wonderfully talented and amazing performer and his booming rendition of Gaius is still in my ears days after finishing the audiobook!
