Guarded Treasure

This is exactly as Mae advertises the book to be: The Mummy (movie 1999) in book form. But with a little spice!

The banter is there, the adventure, and the curse of the mummy. It's different, but familiar. I loved the myth and the mummy's curse, story in Guarded Treasure.

Oh, and the title! Works on so many levels! Very clever.

If you like spicy romance in an exotic setting, read this book!

This book was everything I hoped it would be! Romance, adventure, and mystery delightfully set around a cursed tomb in Egypt. Although I'd read an entire series based around Edie and Ben, this book wraps up in a way that feels complete.

My only complaint is that the book often switched perspectives mid scene in a way that was at best distracting and, at worst, confusing. But never so much that I was unable to enjoy the story and want to continue.

If you showed up to The Mummy for the romance but stayed for the intrigue, you'll feel right at home with this one.
