4.0 out of 5 stars In Search of an Egyptian Tomb or Egyptian Love, March 21, 2007

This review is from: Nights Over Egypt (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories) (Mass Market Paperback)

For years Corina Camden has been the baby everyone doted on and the geeky little girl of the family, with the exception of one night when she was transformed into a raving beauty to attend her high school prom. Her date was arranged by her older brother with plenty of threats and instructions. The date was magical a one for Corina considering the response she was getting from her classmates and her escort. She listens intently to him as he describes his Egyptian homeland and his desire to be an archeologist, echoing similar desires she herself has dreamed of doing.

Fast forward several years and Corina is all grown up and a well-known professor of archeology in the United States. She has been offered the chance to participate in an excavation in Egypt among the Royal Tombs of Tanis. The honor is one that hasn't been granted in ten years and will establish her as a serious Egyptologist. It is of little consequence Dr. Ashalon El Asab will be supervising the dig; she only hopes they can get along.

Upon meeting Dr. El Asab, they each get a vague feeling of familiarity. There is one thing for sure; they are both instantly attracted to each other. However, Corina recognizes a personal involvement could only lead to trouble, so she resolves to fight the feelings. Working in close proximity with fireworks looming in the background, the dig may result in more then ancient artifacts to secure.

NIGHTS OVER EGYPT is an endearing love story that casts an African American woman in a very nontraditional role in a country rich in history and culture. I was captivated by the obvious research Barbara Keaton put into this project and the vivid imagery she used to bring Egypt, its people and its heritage to life. If I didn't know better, I would've thought Keaton herself was of Egyptian decent. Her character development was excellent with even the secondary characters showing budding potential for an additional story or two. This is definitely a must have for the romance enthusiast.

I thought that this book was an excellent read and couldn't put it down. I liked how educated the Black female was (University of Chicago graduate!!!!!!!!!)and how she carried herself and the fact that she had all the necessary tools needed for her trade. I especially enjoyed how the windy city was featured with places I'm familiar and can identify with. Ms.Keaton, thanks for the wonderful, well developed and educational love story. You now have a "new" fan!!!!!!!!!!

This tale of love was found in the the Land of Kings, Egypt. Corina Camden is Professor that get to go on a dig that would prove the existence of a son from Ramesse I that was disowned for his beliefs in one God and not in several, Itamun. She is to be supervised by Professor Ashalon El Asab. Ashalon is defensive to American digs but upon seeing and meeting Corina he is instantly interested and attracted to her. I do not want to reveal their relationship that goes beyond their meeting, but the story is beautiful. I enjoyed that story and it was worth the price.
