Daughter of Carthage, Son of Rome by Kate Q. Johnson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Daughter of Carthage, Son of Rome by Kate Q. Johnson is a wonderfully addictive Historical Fiction Romance. The story takes place during the second Punic Wars 216 BC. Her descriptions of Carthage, Vetulonium, Rome and even the Numidians is so vivid you feel like you could reach out and touch these people and places. Run your hands along the ancient wall of Carthage, smell that stink of the harbor and ride astride the wildly pounding hooves of the Numidian horses. Let me tell you how much I loved this book. The battle scenes are so amazing I was literally rocking myself back and forth praying Elissa and Marcus made it through the battles! The historical accuracy of Hannibal’s military movements during these historic battles was hands down the best part of these battle scenes! If you love military history, you are going to absolutely lose your mind over this book it’s that good! My heart is racing just rememb...
