It took a bit to get into but then I was hooked. Such a smart, engaging, well-told story. I did think the FMC was a bit overly-stilted/“rational”, even towards the end of the book. I liked her well enough but didn’t love her. That said, there were moments she would soften that I hope hint at some dynamic emotional/character growth in future books. I hope for more romance and fun banter while also keeping a lot of the interesting historical content in future books as well. Can’t wait to read the next in the series!

A friend and I both read this around the same time. She loved the prologue and wanted more like it, and I didn't like the prologue at all. 
I found the characters fun. It reads a little like the Mummy movie  ('99) and Romancing the Stone ('84) had a delightful book baby. A well educated woman must work with a rugged man to find the answers to an ancient mystery. Slow burn romance, ridiculous situations and a touch of magic. A fun romp. Liked it enough I put book two on hold and am currently reading it. Interesting info on South American history. 

Just wow! Suffragette Indiana Jones who doesn’t take no for an answer. I was very immersed in this book and could not put it down. I enjoyed the romance, but also like how it did not overshadow the story. Definitely excited for the next book to come out and see what happens to our two adventurers.
