Ok I love the premise of this book!! A morally gray Indiana Jones type and a straight laced archeologist fall in love while fleeing armed looters with a grudge. This book is funny but just dark enough graphically to be more adult than ya. I also love how the plot unfolds at a more natural point. I however have issues with the narration and the motivation. The audible narrator uses an accent for Candace that throw me off so bad. It's awful and takes me right out if the story. I also think the treasure wasn't explained well. I thought the treasure was the pyramid but it's not??
