A review by hollyreadsromance
Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura

3.5

This was such a good book! There is nothing better than academic rivals to lovers??? ESPECIALLY when they had a *moment* and it passed and then they spent the rest of their lives competing from afar?! And the whole fact that they’re archaeologists and Corrie is a literal badass?? There was adventure and fun and fulfilling life goals! The whole backdrop of the dig was so fun! I loved Ethan and Sunny so much! It was so good!

I also love women in STEM. It makes my heart so happy to see Corrie out there living her DREAM and proving time and time again that she IS amazing! I wish her nothing but the best because she DESERVES EVERYTHING.

And listen. Ford Matthews. Did he make so many questionable choices!? YES. I was stressed. There were actually a lot of things that annoyed me about him?? His judgment was so clouded. Did I still like his chemistry with Corrie? Yes. Did I want them to figure their stuff out and make it work? Yes?? He was SO down bad for her and he knew she was better than him, and I wish he hadn’t been afraid to admit it sooner.

I just got the ARC for the next book and I am SUPER excited to read that so soon!!
