Summary

Egypt, 1500 BC. Drawn to his abandoned temple on the banks of the Nile by an enchanting song, Sobek the Crocodile God is even more captivated by the sight of the singer herself. Appearing to her as a man, he learns she is Merys, a descendant of his last priestess. Though filled with lust, Sobek believes Merys deserves to be more than just his mistress. But the rules that govern the Egyptian pantheon forbid anything beyond a physical joining of a Great One and a human.

Merys is attracted to the handsome stranger, who arouses passions in her that no man ever has. But with no dowry and no hope of ever leaving her village, she dares not dream of the future—or love.

Sobek takes every opportunity to visit Merys, taxing his resolve to leave her pure. When he saves her life, their mutual desire must be sated. But can a love between a human and an immortal survive the ultimate test of the gods?

Walk Like An Egyptian Crocodile God

This is no classic but it's not bad either.
It's an odd mix of historical, fantasy and woman's erotica.
Let's start with the erotica (naturally). It's as girlie as you'd expect, which is no criticism. But in among the formal language, which at times borders on twee, it seems out of place that Sobek's male organ is exclusively referred to as his cock. It would have been less jarring if it had been called his manhood, his penis, his member, or even (let's face it) his willy. After all, the formal-bordering-on-twee language is used whenever Merys's anatomy is mentioned - no mention of "pussy" or "front bottom" here!
Regarding the history, well, it's reasonably convincing. And in terms of fantasy, it's a bold and welcome move to see the Egyptian gods treated as real. Sobek is King of the Crocodiles, and this is put to good use in the story. The theology you probably learned in school - heart weighed against a feather before you enter the afterlife - is all in place.
In short, I enjoyed this book, but didn't feel compelled to continue with the next book.
