His harried brother who is happily married with 5 children, 2 teenage sister one of which is madly in love with a gladiator. The dialogue has some modernisms which might put some people off but I enjoy the characters so much that I really don't care. I just down loaded the fourth book Caveat Emptor. 4 stars
