This book is a real page turner. It's a wonderful mix of mystery, romance and history. You are transported to another time and place through the story line. If you love horses then this is a book for you. I couldn't put it down and I was sorry when it ended. And, what an ending! Now I can't wait for a sequel to be written.

This review is from: The Goddess of Sumer (Hardcover)

What a captivating escape from the real world!!!! This book kept me on my toes and anxious to turn the page!!!! With so much mystery, intrigue, romance and history I found myself transported to another time - during the time of ancient ruins- as well as our present day. Each adventure became more exciting as I followed the character's every move to solve the ultimate mystery. And what an ending!!!! You must open the book and then hold on as you'll be swept into the swift current of suspense!!! If you're looking for a story to "take you away" this is it!!! ENJOY!!

This was by far the best book I have read in a long time. It has all the elements of romance, intrigue, magic, and action to completely absorb the characters and story.
The most interesting thing about this book is how it takes actual events, places and relics, and connects them all in a fast-paced adventure that you won't be able to put down... I certainly couldn't!
Definately a MUST-READ!
