Raiders of the Lost Heart, is a super quick and fluffy romance adventure. 

I absolutely loved the fmc Dr Socorro “Corrie” Mejia, and she is everything a bad ass strong inspirational character should be. I absolutely loved her sense of adventure and her humour.

Its just a shame she was taken for granted (and with sexist comments withholding her from her archeological positions)

now if this book just focused on Corrie instead, I would have probably gave it a 3⭐️ but unfortunately the mmc Dr Ford Matthew’s just ruined the book slightly for me. I understand why he took on this archeological expedition.

But after finding out he’s the reason she didn’t get the fellowship for Yale, or being the leader of this expedition in the first place, it’s hard to like him? Especially after Corrie literally tells him how being a woman has held her back and the sexual barriers she goes through??
