Summary

Maggie Owen is a beautiful, spirited Egyptologist...but lonely. While staying in Egypt on a grant from the college, she searches for an undiscovered necropolis she’s certain lies below the sands beyond the pyramids of Giza. Even this discovery doesn’t give her the happiness she had hoped it would. There has always been and is something missing. Love.

Then, her workmen uncover Ramose Nakh-Min’s ancient tomb, and an amulet from his sarcophagus hurls her back to BC 1340 where she falls hopelessly in love with the man she was destined to be with, noble Ramose, who faithfully serves the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaton and his beautiful queen Nefertiti.

She’s fallen into perilous times with civil war threatening Egypt. She’s been mistaken for one of Ramose’s runaway slaves and with her blond hair, jinn-green eyes, and fair skin, she doesn’t fit in. Some say she’s magical and evil. Ramose’s favorite, devious Makere, attempts to have her killed. 

The people, angry at the pharaoh Akhenaton for setting his queen Nefertiti aside and forcing them to worship his god, Aton (instead of their many Egyptian gods), are rising up against him.

Maggie’s caught in the middle of it in a dangerous land and time she doesn’t belong in. In the end, desperately in love with Ramose, will she find a way to stay alive and with him in ancient Egypt - and make a difference in his world and history? Because, Maggie has finally found love.

Please note: If you like ancient Egyptian tales be sure to also check out my The Calling. It's a romantic, paranormal ghostly story also with an ancient Egyptian theme.

Lovely story, poor narration

First of all, I have to say how much I disliked the choice of narrator. I didn’t like anything: voice, accent, reading speed, and most of all - it sounded too old for main heroine. Probably it’s not popular opinion, but I needed to rant :))
After few hours, when I finally was able to ignore the voice, I started to fully enjoy the story… and oh my… I totally loved it 😍
I didn’t feel like it’s very well researched and very descriptive, it mentioned just the main basic things, what I learned at school, so I wouldn’t say it’s concentrated on history, rather on romance. But that’s exactly what I expect from time travel romance 👏 oh, and there was no any smut, in case you wonder.
All in all, it was a breath of fresh air to read about ancient Egyptian, instead of another Scottish highlander or English lord (not that I don’t like them too, lol).
P.S. I didn’t get any free copy, paid for my book and this is my honest opinion 😁

Time travelling romance

This is not my usual listen, I'm not big into romance stories but this one intrigued me with it's Egyptian theme, I'm also pretty interested in all things Egyptian so add in Nila Brereton Hagood as the narrator and I thought I couldn't go wrong.

I was right. It's a fantastic story about Maggie Owen who's been saving herself for her one true love, whom she can't seem to find. So travelling to Egypt to work on a dig was, for her, a chance not to be missed, with no husband and children to keep her at home, she was off. And headed a lot further away than she could ever have imagined.

I did find Maggie's internal monologues rather annoying at times but with Nila narrating it just didn't matter. This book is well researched, well written and thoroughly enjoyable.

I was lucky enough to receive a free copy, at my own request, and leave this honest review entirely volutarily.

My advice is, to buy this book.
