For when you breathe, I am your air.
For when your heart beats, I am its pulse.
For when you are far away, look at our star.

When events out of their control split the family apart, Marius, Kyle, and Claudia are challenged beyond belief. In the desperate race for power, their enemies will stop at nothing to ensure they destroy Marius and those he loves. Kyle and Claudia have to navigate treacherous waters in Rome to deal with their adversaries, and separate allies from foes, whereas Marius has his own struggles to deal with, far from his loved ones. As an unexpected and shattering blow leaves them reeling, Kyle has to be stronger than ever before to keep them from sinking into despair.
Will their enemies finally shatter the small family, or will their love prevail, and conquer all?

Please note: This book’s story is set in Ancient Rome, loosely based on the times during Trajan’s reign. However, the emperor and all the characters are fictitious, and do not reflect real historical events of those times.
“Pulsus Cordis Mei” is not a historical fiction, but rather a queer romance set in a historical setting, depicting fictitious events.
The language of the book does not reflect the language used during ancient times.
Roman names have sometimes been adapted to fit the story, and some of them are purely fictional.

Maxime is a queer author who writes about guys falling in love in various places and times. Although the books could be labelled as queer romance laced with erotica, they do not fit a single genre, and are filled with drama, and sometimes darkness. Maxime likes to explore complex emotions, the journey to self-discovery, and living a life true to oneself, and their characters often struggle before finding happiness.

Maxime has an MA in language and literature, and a long international teaching career as teacher of English language and literature. Being multilingual, they also love incorporating various languages in their works.

On top of being an avid reader, Maxime loves horse riding, hiking with their dog and spending time with their family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweeping, beautiful story of the truest love
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
This was a fabulous conclusion to the Omnia Vincit Amor trilogy. In this book, Kyle, a slave, and Marius are separated by war. Kyle has agreed to stay home to help care for Marius's wife and children to keep them safe. Marius's wife is loved and accepting of Kyle and Marius's relationship, and enthusiastically joins them at times. Marius, a general for the Roman Empire has been ordered to lead a fierce campaign to secure new territories. He also stands to be named as the next Emperor, if he returns with victory.

This book has danger, betrayals, distrust, brutality, sacrifice, and fights for survival. It holds little back about the raw reality of the times. It also has a sweeping, all-encompassing love spanning decades between Kyle and Marius. Marius would have freed Kyle long before, but two Roman men are unable to have a love affair, yet a physical relationship is allowed with a slave, so Kyle has rejected freedom to stay with the love of his love. This is a most beautiful love story with a great epilogue. The entire series is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Conclusion to the Trilogy

Marius is off to far-away lands, leading Rome's legions against her enemies. But, distance is no barrier to his enemies who don't want to see the general named as heir to the imperial throne. A plot to kidnap Marius goes awry, and he ends up being sold as a slave and transported to a gladiator school in Africa. Meanwhile, Kyle and Claudia struggle to stay one step ahead of the “snakes” who not only want to get rid of Marius, but his son as well. Weaving their way through the maze of Roman politics means dealing with people that both Kyle and Claudia would prefer to ignore.

This final book of the Omnia Vincent Amor series is a bit of a roller-coaster ride as all of the main characters navigate treacherous waters to get back together. Marius sort of loses himself for a while, making the turn of events that land him in Africa even more heart-wrenching. It is quite an adventure, even if it does leave him scarred physically as well as emotionally.

It shouldn't be much of a spoiler to reveal that it's Kyle who eventually tracks down his lover and brings him home. If you've read the first two books (and you shouldn't be reading this review if you haven't), then it's no surprise that Kyle is the real hero of this epic love story. By rights, he should hate Marius and, at the very least, be indifferent to Claudia. More than anyone, Kyle is the one who holds this unusual family together and gives them the strength to get past the setbacks that keep being thrown their way.

The menage that evolved in the second book and is carried over into this final installment is not something I expected when the series started. It is, however, entirely believable in the way it develops and makes the whole tale much more compelling. While the author maintains that these books are not “historical” novels in the traditional sense, they are nonetheless very believable in the portrayal of what ancient Rome might have been like.

In some ways, I could see this story going on, but it would probably degrade into more of the same plots and intrigue, as most series do that go on for too long. That it's been kept to a nice neat trilogy is perfect, leaving enough scope for an epic-scale story without becoming tiresome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slightly incredible, but involving

A final book as wrought with disasters and impossibly excruciating physical and emotional wounds as were the first two.
Once again the Rasputin-type survival against all odds and impressive damages triumphs, leading the reader and the characters through a chain of events written in a perfect adventure/self-discovery fictional story, bringing in the bloodlust of the later Roman Empire and the grime and toil behind the scenes of touted glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fabulous book that always has love at its pulsing heart.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2022

Book III is everything I’ve come to expect from Maxime Jaz’s exceptional creative imagination. I may have said it before in response to books I & II, but I love the writing, love the story-telling, love the characters (including convincing three-dimensional side characters), love the books.

Here there is the poetic prose and vivid imagery, heart-stopping—and frequently heart-breaking—action. There are confrontations, attempted murder, and intrigue in Rome; at war, there is betrayal and sacrifice. Everywhere there are enemies who will stop at nothing, but also unexpected friends.

Most of all, I adore that this super book, like the first two, is filled with love in all its aspects and expressions: love between Dominus and slave, love between husband and wife, love between parents and children. Perhaps this is best summed up by the image of Marius and Kyle, despite being so far apart, deriving comfort by looking at the same star, and by the way Kyle knows Marius — “the pulse of my heart”—is alive somewhere in the world. Oh, and when they are all together, the scorching scenes of physical love, sometimes tender, sometimes fierce!

In the dynamic between the main characters, I was deeply affected by differing reactions toward life-changing injuries—an ever-present issue in any account of war. I shed so many tears for Marius, Kyle, and Claudia. Can’t say more because of spoilers. But mistakes that are made are always rendered understandable because of that continual movement between thoughts and actions. As the former diverges from the latter, there is always authorial kindness and understanding for characters’ missteps and forgiveness for actions past. As in the other two books, people are not perfect in real life. Why should they be so in fiction?

In this volume, I also loved that the protagonists I care so much about are joined by two exceptional beasts—Abbas, the lion, and Brutus, the dog—joining Corvus, Marius’s much-loved stallion from previous books. The latter’s treatment is a touching insight into Julius’s feelings about his commander. The scenes between Marius and Abbas are SO beautiful and heart-rending (at the last of these, I cried so much). I was also thrilled with the way Brutus is portrayed as finding, on his own, the means to help Marius. I could say so much more, but the risk of spoilers is too great.

Although I was privileged to read an earlier draft of this book (thank you Maxime Jaz), when my very own copy dropped onto my kindle this morning, my day was set out for me, and I’ve been unable to put it down. This is a fabulous book that always has love at its pulsing heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The pulse of my (broken and patched up) heart

At the end of this journey, I feel sad and yearn for more (wishing for a 4th book and a 5th and a 6th...), but I also feel happy to have been brought into this fictional world filled with amazing characters.
I won't tell you about them in this case, not to ruin the surprise, but I can tell you that they have enriched my life and made me experience so much.

Be ready, this trilogy will rip your heart apart with every tear, every wound, every painful memory, then will stitch it back together with every smile, every kiss, every joyful instant.

Since I didn't cry enough today (kidding, I need to buy more Kleenex), I'm gonna read another one of Maxime's books. 😍
