Tall, breath-taking handsome, and he was all man. He walked over to her pointed to the bracelet and wanted to know how she came about finding it. She told him how she came upon the object in question and held out her hand to give the bracelet back to him. He took the bracelet from her angrily and turned away. A woman shoved him out of the way so that she may introduce herself, Augusta Luken Paullinus. Janney introduced herself too. And she decided she would just go along with everything and thought these people in the room were just character actors from the museum, putting on a little skit.
Marek asked her where do you come from and Janney stared at him and began to think about him in the most lustful way. And she needed to leave this place, before family and friends started to worry about her too. So she swung around to open the door and looked at the scene in front of her. She started to panic. Marek tried to help her and told her that is the only way out. Janney's thoughts were running rampant now, now her fear had tripled. Then,
Augusta
went over to Janney and told her that she was in Britannia, in the
Roman Empire
. The year, 161. Still sitting in the corner, Janney started mumbling about who she was, where she came from, the year, and that she didn't understand what the heck was going on. And then she started to cry.
ANCIENT TIES by Jane Leopold Quinn is a beautiful, time-traveling, and historical love story. Ms. Quinn has done a wonderful job of blending her characters painful pasts to their passionate future. The reader will become emotionally involved with Marek and Janney's love story. They will go through emotions like never before: laugh, cry, fight their battles, and feel their passion. This is one book you will want to keep forever on your shelf and in your heart. I highly recommend this book.
