** spoiler alert ** I really liked this series. The stories follow a fairly strait forward plot, but the characters make all the difference. I love the fact that Ramses and Nefret are FINALLY married in this one.

What woman can read this and now want to be as beautiful as Nefret or have a wild eyed husband as doting as Ramses? Who can read these books and not long to see the fertile Nile shore, or the desolate Valley of the Kings.

These stories rekindled my old interest in ancient Egypt while fulfilling my all too girlish ideas of romantic fiction. They aren't deep literature, or a "must read" but they beat Harlequin romance 100 to 1.
