5.0 out of 5 stars
The queen of romantic adventure, August 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Written in the Stars (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1894 London, Jack Rutherford and Diana Sanbourne, the children of famous archeologists, are to be married in two days. They even make love for the first time in the British Museum. On their wedding day, Jack is arrested for stealing and selling artifacts from the Alexandria Collection. This leads to the death of his father and the bankruptcy of his family. This betrayal to archeology and herself is the one thing that Diana could not forgive him. Five years pass and Diana's father Stafford is dying just as he has come close to uncovering the legendary Anthony-Cleopatra "Love Treasure", considered a myth by his peers. Before Stafford dies, he sends word to Diana, pleading with her to complete his quest and exonerate his reputation. She knows that she must honor her father's request. However, Diana also knows only one man, the acrimonious archeological rogue Jack can accomplish this. When they meet for the first time since that ill fated wedding day, the sparks fly, but neither trusts the other because they feel let down by their soulmate. Take Indiana Jones and place him four decades earlier when archeology is still in its infancy and the reader gets a delicious taste of what WRITTEN IN THE STARS is like. The lead protagonists are a delightful duo, who must overcome their suspicions of each other if they are to find true bliss. The secondary players are a delightfully humorous, witty, and dangerous rogue's gallery. Though the romance is top rate, Katherine O'Neal's historical romantic adventure is so good because of the reverent look at nineteenth century archeology, which comes across as exciting as the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Katherine O'Neal is the reigning queen of the romantic adventure, Harriet Klausner
