Spartan Love Book One
The Epics of Apollo's Men
Alone, Andreas toils on a remote farmstead for a Spartan overlord. When a kryptes enters his world, Andreas fears for his life. The dread warriors stalk and kill helots—like Andreas' father—as part of their training.
Andreas sees only one way to save himself he must tame the fearsome warrior.
But what began as self-preservation develops into attraction. Yearning for the company of someone other than his ferret, Ictis, Andreas decides to trust the Spartan warrior and risk the fate that claimed his father.
Born to rule by the sword, Theron sees the world as his and acts accordingly, taking everything Andreas offers and reaching for more. However, love between men in Sparta is considered shameful and requires either exile or suicide to redeem Sparta’s honor. Now, only the gods can save them from the terrible price Sparta extracts from men who desire other men.

A Spartan Love by Kayla Jameth is an ancient historical male/male book set in Sparta is one of the most informative books for history. The information she was able to gather up for this lovely read was wonderful. It’s part of a series called The Epics of Apollo’s Men and it had this fan hooked from page one.This book (like the author’s other reads) is a wonderful story between two men who come from different statuses. Andreas, a helot, who has been living alone for a few years, has never been aroused by a female, but gets aroused by a neighbors son and Theron, a Kryptes who has always enjoyed the company of men was with some friends exploring, but being extremely careful, because two men together is not allowed, but they’re still drawn together by their love for each other. Both of course keep their feelings secret at first, because neither knows if the other prefers the company of men, until Theron, who becomes jealous when Charis touches his man that he wants to mark Andreas and goes into the hut and catches Andreas naked. The two have an intimate encounter and can’t get enough of each other.
This book was very well written and I fell in love with the characters. You can relate to anyone of them from the man characters to the minor ones. You can also feel the emotions coming from them too. Not mention any spoilers, but this fan’s favorite part was when Theron became ill and Andreas took care of his warrior. This showed that besides being ill, Theron trusted Andreas. Don’t get Andreas’ size wrong. He may be big, but he can’t hurt a fly really. He may not be able to kill anyone, but I believe that if he had to protect someone he loves dearly he would kill to protect the one he loves.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves male/male loving and history stories.

I have to be honest and say I really loved the way this author wrote this time period and these two men together! I was grabbed from the start of this book and could not put it down.
You really can not help feeling so bad for Andreas character being so alone like he is. He is also so strong and caring which made me love his characters too! I was so nervous for him when Theron starts coming around and what his intentions were towards Andreas.
I loved the way this author wrote these characters and this story! She had you feeling everything that Andreas and Theron went through while you were reading this book and also had you rooting for these men to find happiness in a time where two men together was a huge no no and they could be killed if found out.
So i will leave this review with... I loved this book and would recommend it!
I received this book free in exchange for an honest review from Inked Rainbow Reads.
In a nutshell, Andreas is a helot (a race of people the Spartans kill for training/sport) who lives on his own. He keeps out of the eyes of the Spartans for fear of being targeted. Theron is the Spartan warrior who has been trained to take what he wants. When they encounter each other, the feelings between them transport them to places laws deem illegal.
When reading this book, for the first few chapters, I found it beneficial to have Google to hand on a separate device. There are reference pages at the back of the novel, but going back and forth between the two was a pain. Alternatively, of course, you could familiarize yourself with the terms before starting the first chapter or go with the confusion and plod on. The rewards are worth the effort as it doesn’t take long to get into the swing of who is who and of what race.
The unusual, yet authentic names are a touch hard to pronounce, even in the head. You won’t find a name like Bill in this story. But, it all adds to an ambiance that will take you back to a world that can now only be found in books and on the big screen. I am a fan of the films 300, Alexander, and the old Hollywood greats, and my home library has a section dedicated to stories of this era. So, when I saw this series, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them.
Reading, A Spartan Love, created a war of its own within me. There were parts of it I loved and parts I got frustrated at.
After the first chapter, I was almost salivating. The scene setting was utterly brilliant and the characters, awesome. Andreas has such a gentle soul; I just wanted to munch him. Ictis – the lovable ferret is a star. He brightened every scene he was in. As for Theron, in character he is almost the opposite of Andreas, but still likable. Charis is... let’s just say, the perfect slappable irritant. The plight of wanting one another but having to keep behind closed doors is a classic and given the era being dealt with, this was sure to be an historical winner.
Coming back to the war aspect. The parts that irritated me were variations on the same phrases that popped up every few pages – like, constantly being told; they could be killed. After about the tenth time of reading it, and not being many chapters in, I got it, and my heart stopped pumping harder when I read it as the familiar words lost their potency. They could never be together, and how careful they needed to be – I got that too. And every time a man touches another, why does the phrase callused fingers have to be used. Please, any authors out there - get a little more inventive. Weather-beaten, seasoned, work- toughened, rough, hardened....
Anyhow, gripe over.
A Spartan Love expertly dealt with growing up in such an era, and how children were made into warriors. It was a brutal life. So, given how Andreas and Theron were raised it was no wonder that when they were apart, they did a lot of soul-searching and examination of their situation – almost to the point of obsession. Though, no matter what, they couldn’t stay apart – an element I found endearing.
I am in awe at the depth of research that has gone into this book, it is phenomenal, and while I believe a few parts should have been different, it is still a good start to the series. Book one finishes in a way that requires a sequel.

I enjoyed this tale.
As a huge fan of all thibgs ancient greece, it was enjoyable. Theron and Andreas are good together.
I've started giving up hope of finding a good romance to read on this platform, but, A Spartan Love is a rare gem. Ms. Jameth does a good job of crafting a story and keeping it compelling. Looking forward to part 2 of this story and any future writings she may have in the works.
