"Determined to prove her worth as a budding archaeologist, Ginesse Braxton vows to solve one of the world's greatest mysteries--to find the location of the lost city of Zerzura. Unfortunately, no man dares take the risk of escorting the resolute young scholar across the open desert. But on her way to Egypt, Ginesse engages in a daring deception: She will switch places with Mildred Whimpelhall, who is traveling to meet her fiancé. Years before, cynical adventurer Jim Owen would do anything to escape the dark secrets of his troubled past. Betrayed by the woman he loved and scorned by proper society, he agrees to carry out a danger-fraught task: escort Mildred Whimpelhall across a lawless desert to her intended. But Jim is about to learn that "Mildred" isn't exactly what she seems-- and the dangers they face together are eclipsed by an even greater peril: falling in love, against all reason, with another guy's bride" -- p. [4] of cover.… (altro)

I could tell you to read this book for the fun adventure (think Indiana Jonesish or I guess nowadays people would think Nate Drake), Connie Brockway writing (effortlessly emotionally true, engaging, and always moving), or the characters (you’ll smile while weeping at how utterly crystal clear the hero sees the heroine’s authentic nature and is not afraid of it ;). However, the main reason you should read this book is for Chapter thirty-six. My god….chapter thirty-six. I didn’t realize how all the adventure, emotions, and feelings were working together to create such a scene, but my now overflowing heart is grateful. (sidenote: the um, action in Ch.36, I refuse to say more in order not to ruin it, is a tad similar and reminiscent of another book’s ending scene. Different setting but in the same idea, pulled me a little tiny bit out of the story as I thought back to that other book (I rated that book five stars, the only hint I’m giving) )

Read this book because there are sooooo many mediocre, regency ball saturated (I love this timeperiod! But I love took time, well written regency ball romances more) romance books out there that, trust me, you need to read this adventure romance where Brockway writes her characters so well they lose the title of character and become people (I hope you know what I mean) to cleanse your palate.

By the bye I didn’t rate this 5stars because there were tiny little slow moments and too many added in plot points (Brockway you had great characters you didn’t need the other hubbub of what turned out to be forgettable and pointless nemesis of Jim and the late love triangle), some instances where the actions/emotions were too similar to the prequel (I read the series back to back so it was fresh in my mind), and as much as I loved Jim and Ginny they didn’t quite have the superior spark that makes me want to read five star couples over and over.

Oh and you should read “As You Desire” prequel to this one so you fully understand why Ginesse is the way she is. Her parents Harry and Dizzy are the stars of that show. ( )

It was a good book, but predictable. Still it was funny on some parts ( )

One of my favorite romance novels. I have re-read it over and over again. ( )

Spunky young woman wants to go to Egypt and discover a lost tomb an seizes on the opportunity to change places with another woman on the boat from England who was traveling to meet her fiance. At the dock she was to be met and escorted to the fiance's army fortress (near her dig site), the guide had never met her and they started across the dessert bickering, getting into all sorts of trouble, falling in love and miscommunicating to each other.
