Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
imagine you're me. you book an Indiana Jones themed AirBNB. you go through your tbr to see what books to bring. you find an Indiana Jones inspired adventure romance. the setting is right, the mindset is right, everything is right. and then it's bad???
yeah this hurt. there was nothing right about this imo sorry. Corrie was the most annoying girlboss full of herself and weaponing her sexuality. listen I'm all for women acknowledging their accomplishments and knowing they're hot af, but not like this. you can't be all that AND annoying. literally couldn't stand her.
I already forgot his name. Ford? bc Harrison Ford? that's his name now if it wasn't already. anyway he is BLONDE. dye your hair dark like a man!!! also the way he purposely used his privilege to screw her over regularly was insane actually. I am meant to root for this guy? hello I am throwing you to the wildlife colonizer!
the most egregious part (well besides the whole Ford thing) was the fact that these characters had 0 chemistry. they were just horny. the only thing these two characters could even think about when it came to each other was their physical looks. neither of them respected the other even remotely, and neither of them could name one (1) personality trait about the other.
also this book, this 340 page romance book, was sooooo slow. it was such a slog to get through less than 100 pages. definitely not this action book I was promised!!
