Having the Gods take an active role in the story was wonderful, but not over whelming. The secondary characters were supportive and there for the main characters but not to the point where they started to take over the tale. At times very funny and thoughtful; this story is for anyone who wants her own Roman.

Ancient Ties has taken me to places I really wanted to go. With a male lead that is physically stunning, mentally powerful, and emotionally gripping; the hero will take you on an emotional ride, and the heroine will make you wish you could take her place. This story is about two lonely hearts who find the power to live and love. The history was wonderfully rich with detail and very informative. It was nice to have an author pay particular attention to historical facts, though at times I thought it was a little too much information and distracted from the story, it was woven into the story line so well that it really didn’t matter. The passion between these two people was instantaneous and explosive; it took them a while to get down to the lovemaking but when they did boy did it shatter the screen! The sexuality of the book was wonderful and shockingly so, not because of what was done, but because the passion was so very raw. Very rarely do I come across a book that I plan to read again and again… This was just one such book. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends and family and will continue to do so. I really must congratulate Ms. Quinn on a very powerful tale.
