“This was a story unlike anything I've EVER read before, and I loved it.” 5 STARS

“This book feels like someone threw a bunch of big ideas into a blender and hit MAX SPEED, and somehow it still works. I kept thinking I’d take a quick break after one chapter and then suddenly I was 80 pages further in. The characters are chaotic but fascinating, and I loved trying to figure out what their next move would be. Definitely a “strap in and enjoy the ride” kind of story.” 5 STARS

“The depiction of Rome itself is magnificent and brutal. The rising Colosseum, the political intrigue, the bloodlust of gladiators, and the ever-present shadow of Caligula create a world that feels real, terrifying, and utterly immersive. The addition of prophecy and the enigmatic Leluuwahn adds a layer of mystery and inevitability, making you question whether the characters are masters of their fate or pawns in a larger, cosmic game.” 5 STARS

In 2045, three Australians are torn from their world and thrown into Ancient Rome.
Not gently. Not safely.
Laying naked on a four-poster bed, Nate struggles to open his hungover eyes beneath a brutal sun. Jane stands over him with a knife. Amanda wears nothing but red heels and a crucifix. Above them, strange beings watch from the sky. Around them, Rome prepares for blood.
The Colosseum is rising. Caligula is hungry. And slavery is not a metaphor.
Their mobile phones still connect to a future racing fifty times faster than the past, but technology means nothing in 40AD. In this ancient world, survival belongs to the ruthless.
Nate refuses to remain a rich woman’s possession. Jane has never failed at seduction or murder. Amanda discovers that submission in Rome carries a far more dangerous price.
Gladiators rise and fall through the Gates of Life. Heads are severed. Power shifts with a whisper. A silver-haired Leluuwahn speaks of prophecy and destiny, whether Nate believes in it or not.
Is there purpose behind their time travel? Or are they merely pieces in someone else’s brutal game?
Sex. Power. Politics. Blood. Prophecy.
To survive in Ancient Rome, they must rise from slavery, navigate shifting alliances, and seize power in a world that feeds on weakness.
Vegas Then Rome (Sex, Blood & Glory) is a dark, adult time travel fantasy set in Ancient Rome, blending historical fantasy, epic scope, and unapologetic intensity.
