Dante metaphysically takes you through the underworld, utterly incredible
Even after six centuries, Dante's Inferno is one of the most important works that needs to be read. Exploring the nine circles of hell, Dante (using his own name) speaks of being led by Virgil to the different depths of depravity of human nature. From virtuous non-Christians such as Socrates, through to lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery, where he meets Judas. It is epic in every sense, from the content to the language. Mind-blowing.

I totally agree, there are definite parallels in the book - obviously The Divine Comedy is a translation from Italian, so it's made accessible in English.

A nice, quick and enjoyable read. I should say that I shouldn't really class this short story as a 'romance' as it is more of a dose of 'smut'...but good smut I might add.
It outlines the bully/victim relationship with a splash of attraction and lust leaving the reader wanting more. In my personal opinion I can not stand bullies and people who abuse others so it makes me cringe a bit when these people are so easily forgiven. Even so I would definitely consider reading the possible sequel.
