Raiders of the Lost Heart
Raiders of the Lost Heart | Jo Segura
8 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Rival archaeologists must team up on a secret Aztec expedition, or it could leave their careers-and hearts-in ruins. Dr. Socorro "Corrie" Mejia has a bone to pick . . . Literally. It's been her life goal to lead an expedition in search of the remains of her ancestor - an ancient warrior of the Aztec empire. But when she is invited to join an all-expenses-paid dig to do just that, Corrie is sure it's too good to be true . . . As the world-renowned expert, Corrie should be leading the expedition not sharing the glory with her disgustingly handsome grad school nemesis. Dr. Ford Matthews has been finding new ways to best her since they met, and the last thing they both need is a reminder of their rocky past. But with a thief lurking around their campsite, the pair are forced to keep their rivalry-and lingering attraction-under wraps. From money-hungry artifact smugglers, the Mexican authorities, and the lies between them closing in, there's only one way this all ends: explosively. A laugh-out-loud romcom with a twist. Perefct for fans of Ali Hazelwood, The Lost City and a good old fashioned enemies-to-lovers.

Extremely disappointed in this book. It doesn‘t have any real adventure a la Indiana Jones until the last couple of chapters and is just plain boring.
Corrie is brought in as the expert on a dig by Ford, who she blames for her career being slower than she wants. A bunch of whinny dialog and sex happen and then a tiny bit of adventure to secure their big archeological find.
1/5 stars. I‘m really mad that I bought this

Read in January. (Last one!)

As a lover of The Mummy and other adventure rom-coms, I thought this would be my catnip. Alas, that wasn‘t the case. Even though the characters are on a dig in the jungles of Mexico, the story lacks the thrilling adventure I expected. I‘m also not sure I loved the male lead, Ford. Physically, he was fine, but I‘m not sure about the rest of the package.

Such a pretty cover though.

mabell Love the Mummy! We just watched it last night! It‘s in our regular rotation 😄 2mo
Bookzombie @mabell Yes, can watch it any time. 🙂 2mo

It‘s been a while since I bought a book and then that same day, sat there and read it. This book was great! An archeologist gets invited to a secret dig and finds out it‘s her “enemy” from grad school.

Enemies to lovers, second chance romance. Set in the jungles of Mexico. Perfect if you want a female Indiana jones or are interested in a bit of archeology.

Light pick 3 ⭐️. This was a fun adventurous romp, taking inspiration from Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and Romancing the Stone. The setting/premise was a refreshing addition to the rom-com genre, but the romance itself wasn‘t anything special. It was hard to take the professional/archeology plot line too seriously when the love interests were constantly thinking about how hot each other was (from the first moment they reunite at the dig).
