Book Description

July 13, 2006
Fourth Dynasty, Inebu-hedj, Egypt: Sneferu "He of Beauty", the first pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty and one of Egypt's most benevolent rulers, has survived several assassination attempts, but he knows it is only a matter of time before the killer will succeed. Seeking the aid of the gods through his high priest, the pharaoh casts an ancient spell giving him the power to return to a time just before his murder – if the gods grant his request.

Sneferu is murdered and his high priest is able to secret his body away, which is the only hope for his return. Almost five thousand years later, Jade Morgan, an American Egyptologist is working on a stone altar.

Catapulted back in time, the two must forge an alliance to keep Sneferu from being murdered a second time, but their hearts soon find that time is no barrier to true love. Weaving in and out of the traitors in the harem, as well as those in his court, the two quickly find they are traveling on the same path together.

When the Nubian army is found camped across the Nile from his palace, Sneferu and jade must risk all and almost lose all to keep Egypt safe. Despite being kidnapped, captured, tortured and traded to their enemies, Jade and Sneferu overcome danger, deceit and death to find their together place in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read Egyptian Time-Travel!, July 3, 2006
This review is from: A Pharaoh, a Spell and Jade (Paperback)
Miss Arwen's PHARAOH, is a compelling, fast-paced feast for the senses, guaranteed to keep you hooked from beginning to end!

Someone is trying to kill Egypt's Pharaoh, Sneferu. Knowing it will only be a matter of time before they succeed, he makes a pack with the God Osiris--asking if murdered, he be brought back to avenge his death by one worthy to aid him in his quest.

Flash forward to modern day. Egyptologist Jade Morgan is in the middle of a dig when she finds a secret doorway. Hidden within the small room is an intricately inscribed armband, she can't help but slip on...and the sexiest man her virgin eyes have ever seen. Mesmerized, she reaches out to touch the man's chiseled muscles and bronzed flesh. When her fingers caress the gold amulet on his chest, the next thing she knows, she's lying in a bed next to him. A bed smack dab in the Pharaoh's palace of ancient Egypt.

Sneferu knows this pale beauty is the one the Gods sent him by the armband she wears. While he can't believe they would send him a woman, he sees her as a precious gift and enjoys initiating her in all the pleasures his world has to offer. But when his feelings for her deepen and the threats on both of their lives seem overwhelming, will these two be able to work together to overcome the evil working tirelessly to smote them? Or will the Pharaoh's fate play out as it did before?

Stunning, inspiring and evocative all come to mind when I think of this book. Though short, it lacks nothing in content, characterization or emotion. With a delectable hero, vivid imagery and lyrical prose worthy of the God Osiris herself, this talented author weaves a spell over the reader as strong as the one binding the fated lovers together. Miss Arwen deftly fleshes out all of the characters with such precision they come alive in your mind's eye. So much so, I found myself on the verge of tears right alongside them, only to smile with joy at the wonderful ending. I highly recommend this book! In fact, I am running to my keeper shelf to place PHAROAH on it, while grabbing her debut and subsequent efforts, so as to read more from this fresh, new voice in romance who has proven she is here to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of the Box!, June 28, 2006
This review is from: A Pharaoh, a Spell and Jade (Paperback)
If you're looking for a time travel romance that is a bit out of the box, then A PHARAOH, A SPELL & JADE is for you. I've always been fascinated by Egyptian history, so I was really drawn into this story, and impressed by the author's skillful storytelling. Jade is a very likeable and endearing heroine, while Sneferu is all things masculine and exciting. There's the matter of the harem, Sneferu's other wives and his children. The author dealt with that matter very adeptly and realistically. This book was a joy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous, Exciting Read, July 12, 2006
This review is from: A Pharaoh, a Spell and Jade (Paperback)
Aysel Arwen is a voice that is sure to please every reader with her insightful and colorful characters, intricate plotting and great delivery. Jade Morgan is a heroine of strength and determination, whose love for her Pharaoh transends time--literally. She finds herself thrown back in time when she enters the tomb of a mystery-laden Pharaoh, and the answers she seeks are found first hand when the handsome, compelling Sneferu not only comes alive, but pulls her into his world. Want a trip into Egypt several thousand years ago? Then settle down with this book and give yourself plenty of time, because you won't put this down until the last page has been turned. A MUST read!
