About this listen

A prequel novella set in the Dominus universe by JP Kenwood.

As a lifelong passion continues to fade, another love deepens...two stand-alone m/m stories of love, lust, and friendship in ancient Rome.

February: Home from the first war against the kingdom of Dacia, Gaius Fabius ignores his obligations in Rome and returns to his secluded seaside villa in Southern Italy. Under the pretense of a holiday trip, his best friend and secret lover, Lucius Petronius, surprises him with an unexpected visit. Later that evening, the lusty masters share the delights of Gaius’s blond pleasure slave, Nicomedes.

December: With whispers of an embezzlement scandal floating through the capital, Lucius Petronius and his beloved concubine, Bryaxis, celebrate the raucous winter solstice festival of the Saturnalia with Luc’s family. After a joy-filled evening of food, gifts, and stories, Lucius and Bryaxis reverse roles in the master chamber.

Warning: Explicit language, filthy loving, and daft shenanigans.

I love love this series and I adore these characters! It was absolutely amazing to read more stories about them.

The first story is about Gaius and Lucius. I loved learning more about their history and their complicated relationship.  I really like them together and Lucius is just so much fun.

The second story is about Lucius and Bry. It was festive and fun and I could read a separate book with just the two of them. They are a favorite couple. 

I adored this book. And I loved how the narrator brought it to life. Perfect! 

amazing!

Story: Entertaining glimpse into the ancient history times with interesting characters and amazing attention to details. The picture the author builds is a great proof of the vast research that went into the process and the writing skills are undeniable. I really like the characters we meet. They are imperfect, very human and complex. Just what you need.
Narration: Hannibal Hills was a great choice for this one. The performance is intense, but very fitting the scene and the characters.

I loved it!

These two shortish stories are sort of prequels to the Dominus series. They could be read as standalones, but it was great already knowing what the future holds for these characters and their relationships. It was lovely to have additional interaction between Lucius and Gaius, as well as with Bryaxis. The stories—and they are stories—contain some smoking hot scenes as well.

Fabulously narrated by Hannibal as always. He does such a great job with the various character voices and portrays their personalities and emotions superbly. Loved it!

A lovely addition to the series

These can certainly be enjoyed as standalone stories, but they really shine if you are familiar with the characters from the series. Here we get a deeper insight into the relationships men are allowed to have with each other and with their slaves. There is plenty of steam, but Hannibal Hills' performance lets us feel the deeper emotions, particularly those between Gaius and Lucius whose relationship has changed as they have aged and the one that now exists between Lucius and Bryaxis.

Adds depth to the series

I've been interested in JP Kenwood's Dominius series for some time, and since I'm an audiobook fan, February and December was the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the series. I really like JP Kenwood's writing style. The story is written in a light-hearted manner and despite the brevity of this audiobook, the characters are well drawn.

I enjoyed the brief glimpse into Rome's ancient world. In the first part, things heat up between friends Gaius and Lucius and slave Nic. However, I became curious about Gaius and Nic's relationship and I would love to learn more the two of them.
The second section is no less hot. And despite the steamy scenes, there is enough historical action or rites that it is fun to listen to this audiobook.

Hannibal Hills, the narrator, was new to me. It took me a bit to get used to him at first, but then it was fine for me. He reads the intonations skillfully and brings the story to life.

I want to hear more from this series because this short story has me curious.

I requested a free copy of the audiobook and this is my honest opinion that I am volunteering.

Interesting characters
