I loved this book! Corrie is such a badass and I want to be her when I grow up. I love her determination to be respected and recognized for her mind and talent in the archaeological world, rather than just for her looks. And Ford? Well, for one, he has the perfect archaeologist name in my opinion. He smolders and smirks and I swoon. Their chemistry is sooooo good and I would absolutely read another book about them having archaeological and spicy adventures together. 🔥 The end had me racing through the pages because I had to know what happened. Plus, the setting and descriptions are so fun! 

If you love The Mummy, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, and Romancing the Stone...read this. This is such a fun read and I want more! I hope this trend in adventure archaeological romances continues because they're all I want to read. 🥰
