More like 3 and 1/2 stars...
While the previous two books were great this is a little less... It is not a bad book: the story is interesting, but both H and h were sometimes TSTL. They just rushed without thinking, even if other characters were telling them to stop and think. Also their love story were inconsistent. More than them I liked the character of Hasani, the pirate. I would have liked to know more of him. He seemed more interesting and more cunning than all the others. Maybe the author will write a book about him? I'll like to read that one!

The Gladiator Prince by Minnette Meador
This story is mainly about Thane, Phaedra, Bahar and their secrets. While the Gladiator Prince can be read as a stand alone, I feel that it is better when read with the other books. The Centurion and the Queen and The Edge of Honor.
Minnette will have you snared from the beginning of the book. You will think that you can figure out the secrets, but you will be surprised. An EXCELLENT read.

This book is the third in the series and WOW you will not want to put this book down. It starts our fresh and fast and ends the same way. I was so glad to read the story of the Gladiator Prince.
In The Edge of Honor, he was touched on and wanted to know his story. This book works so well with the other two that you don't realize you are reading another book but only a continuous of the the first one. Love conquers all and in this book you will see. Minnette does not make it easy for lovers and they fight till the end. There are twist in the story and just when you think you have the "answer" she fools you yet again...
I most definitely recommend this to everyone, but again, you must read The Centurion and The Queen and The Edge of Honor first, it all works together when you know what you are reading.
