My harsh upbringing stripped me of my weaknesses and forced me to become strong.

At age seven, I left home to tr ain with other boys where we were taught obedience, solidarity, military strategy, and how to withstand pain. I am Axios of Sparta, and I was born to kill. Review Copy of Axios provided by Jaclyn Osborn for an honest review.Wendy reviews ‘Axios’ (A Spartan Tale) by Jaclyn Osborn. If you’re looking for a book filled with everything we wish for ourselves… READ. If you’re looking for a story full of love, action, adventure, angst, heartache, redemption, hope, friendship. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye and so I read this book TWICE in 24 hour period. This is the first book that I have ever immediately start to re-read the minute after turning the last page. This is a story you absolutely must experience through the MC’s. Axios, is one of those stories I absolutely refuse to spoil with a lengthy detailed review. Research (a dying art form in the book world), the bonds of friendship, family and most importantly love, made this book an unforgettable gem. It was very clear to me that this book was a labor of love by the author. and it turned out to be a GOOD thing! If someone told me earlier this year that I would stumble across a book, written by a ” new to me” author and that this book will become one of my TOP 3 Favorite Books period of all time, I would have laughed in their faces and not given it a second thought.Īxios, absolutely blew me away. I have shamelessly begged multiple authors to write a book like this but sadly, they couldn’t….

Axios is the book I have been dreaming of for the past 5 years. *deep breathe* I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! THIS IS THE BEST MM of 2017, IMO. *M/M Historical Romance set in Ancient Sparta* In times of war, all men were put to the test, but the greatest challenge for us was not one of swords and spears, but of the heart. The only life for a Spartan was one of battle and brutality with no guarantee of tomorrow. However, there was no place for love in Sparta. Fighting side by side with him, we were invincible. He was the very air I breathed and the water that sustained me. Ruthless.īut, I craved something greater-a life I could never have.Īgainst all odds, and the toughest training a warrior could endure, I found an unexpected love in the arms of a fellow Spartan. At age seven, I left home to train with other boys where we were taught obedience, solidarity, military strategy, and how to withstand pain.
