A story of romance more than anything else. Fans of romance will enjoy this one.

In 1888 a female Egyptologist is not common, but Ami Dalton is just that during the day while using the cover of dark to help save black-market artifacts from the wrong hands, using her alter ego, The Shadow Broker. Edmund Price is planning to run for Parliament and needs an Egyptologist to tell him the value of his new collection. Edmund doesn’t expect Ami when he searches out help from Professor Dalton but soon finds she is just the person to help him.

It might be that I’ve read a few too many historical romances lately but this one fell flat for me. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the storyline just wasn’t interesting to me as I had hoped. This story was too familiar to some of the ones I had just read and had the “same ole, same ole,” feeling to me without anything new and exciting. It is hard writing these days because there are so many authors and books to battle with making it hard to find the new and exciting reads. The book was not bad by any means, it was just not exciting and what I was hoping for.

I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher.  The views and opinions expressed within are my own.
