Review:

Beware of a woman scorned. A false man or woman deserves death! 
 
A well-crafted story of love-betrayed, revenge-realized, with twists and turns for readers who will know where they are going, but will not get there along the path they expect...great escapist entertainment - Author Richard Warren Field
 
200 years after the infamous Borgia pope, and this book transports with the same sense of treachery and social duplicity as that time of history so often the subject of period dramas and cleverly written television - Indie Authors Rock / iam-indeed.com / Gaele
