Temple of Swoon


This was a cute romcom. The premise is wholly unbelievable but that doesn't mean it isn't cute and steamy. While this is the second book in a series, it can very easily be read as a standalone. I love the titles and I love anything loosely based off Romancing the Stone and Indiana Jones. Temple of Swoon, Dr. Miriam Jacobs finds herself leading her first archaeological expedition and she is woefully unprepared and scared. Her mentors were supposed to be leading the exhibition, but due to a broken arm they won't be able to trek through the Amazon on the search for the lost City of the Moon. Everything starts to fall apart, people quit, equipment is breaking, and she is losing hope. Is someone sabotaging the expedition?! The only bright side is Rafa, the hunky photographer who is documenting the mission. The only problem is, he is hiding a very big secret. Cheesy, predictable, and fun!

Raiders of the Lost Heart


This was a fun, steamy, romantic comedy perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone, and The Mummy. Corrie gets called out to her dream archaeological dig, the study of her life's work, and she finds out that the lead of the dig is the guy that broke her heart in grad school. She is beyond angry but surprised the attraction is still there. Against her better judgement she finds herself staying onsite because she will never be this close to finding the lost remains of her ancestor, Chimalli, an ancient warrior of the Aztec empire. The two keep finding themselves flirting with each other and soon enough they are sharing tents. Very steamy - I could have used a little more adventure however!
