The Legend Hunters #1
Seduce Me
Fielding Grey is the second son of the Marquess of Eldon and fortune hunter by night. He's on a mission for the Legend Hunters--a group of wealthy, titled, and heart-breakingly gorgeous men, each of whom are after the find of the century--he has his eyes set on obtaining the illustrious Pandora's Box. But before he finds it, he encounters an equally alluring treasure--the woman bold enough to look inside.
Esme Worthington can't resist taking the tiniest peek inside when fate drops the real Pandora's Box in her lap. Thus, she unleashes one of Pandora's irresistible the curse of lust. Now, both Esme and Fielding must deal with this passionate curse--or blessing?--before unknown implications of Pandora's Box overpower them both.

Run away, don't bother with this.

Esme Worthington only reads about adventures in her studies of antiquities, including the legendary Pandora's box, while she remains a prim and proper miss. However, that is before her study is ransacked by those searching for clues to the key to Pandora's box. Fielding Grey, a treasure hunter himself, just wants to steal the box back from the criminals, but his heart won't let him leave Esme behind. He rescues her, and takes her along on his adventure, but she becomes more than a handful when the temptation of the box becomes too great for her. She opens it and is cursed with lust...which is sure to be directed right at Fielding.
This book is definitely for romance readers who like a lot of action and adventure with their love story on the side. This isn't the type of story that I love, so it was only ok for me. It was a quick, fun read, but there just wasn't enough between the hero and heroine to really grab me.
Fielding was very focused on his work, not exactly a tender romantic. Sometimes I felt like he only tolerated Esme because he was a good person and didn't want her to be hurt, not because he loved her or anything. And Esme only seemed to feel lust for Fielding. Esme was a very intelligent heroine, I just wanted her to have more self esteem. She never believed that someone like Fielding could be attracted to her. So while the adventure was there, I felt like the romance was lacking.
If you like a treasure-filled adventure with a mystery to solve, with a little dash of romance, this is the book for you!

Raaaah il a manqué le je-ne-sais-quoi pour le coup de cœur ! Voilà un livre qui aurait eu sa place dans la collection aventure et passion !!

The Raven, like Fielding Grey, is also a treasure hunter, but unlike Fielding, he will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means kidnapping and murdering one of his own!
Fielding Grey finds Esme Worthington the night she is kidnapped, handcuffed to a wall wearing only a "flimsy nightdress" (I'm thinking it's a bit see-through since he cannot seem to stop looking at her!). Not only has he found Esme, but he has also found Pandora's box. When Esme realizes she has the Pandora's box in her hand, she can't help but take a peek inside. Boy, was that a mistake! The box contains four gold bangles inside and, of course, as luck - or lack there of - would have it, she gets the bangle for LUST. She only has until the next lunar eclipse to figure out how to take it off or she'll perish. Fielding and Esme go on a few adventures throughout the book trying to discover how to get the cursed bangle off, figure out who's to blame for Fielding's fathers death 14 years ago, find out who exactly is The Raven and how is he tied to Fielding, and of course they also need to figure out how to keep their hands off each other since Fielding is in no way 'in need of a wife'. Plus, there's also that nagging little question in the back of Esme's mind, "Does he want me because he's in love with me or does he lust after me because of the curse?"
I truly enjoyed this book :) It just hit the bookstore stands and I'm already itching to read the ones that will eventually follow (this is book 1 in 'The Legend Hunters' series). The storyline really caught my attention since I haven't read any books about treasure hunters lately. It wasn't confusing and didn't have crazy unimportant details that I've found in books recently. (You know those times where you read a book and there's a point where you think to yourself, "Alright! Enough already with the explanations and all the details! I get it! The tree is green!) well.. that didn't happen in this book (Yay!). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE details but lately it seems I've read certain books where it's sooooo detailed you forget what they're trying to detail! *phew* Anyhoo...it was a fast, entertaining, easy read. I definitely recommend this book! Oh...and the love scenes weren't raunchy, they were juuuuuust right!

A quick, fun read that feels like the book equivalent of TNT's The Librarian movies.
The men are members of Solomon's, an organization that tracks down objects of legend. Fielding Grey comes off of discovering the lost library of Alexandria and finds himself suddenly on the trail of Pandora's Box. Esme Worthington holds the key (literally) to said box, and has an unfortunate habit of being kidnapped by the bad guy. She thinks she's been cursed with Lust (one of the curses contained in the box), Fielding is convinced that it would be a bad idea to fall in love with her, and romantic hi-jinks ensue. The plot could stand to have been a little more developed (DeHart kind of breezes over some details that could've easily been enhanced), but maybe the rest of the books in the series will improve upon that.

I love you. I love you. I love you.
I spent days reading the book and I admit the build-up is slow. Historical Fiction + the searching of Pandora box = Too boring for me. This is my second historical novel paperback and it was a mistake picking this up because I keep seeing this on my feed or any form of platforms. I'm grateful that I got this on sale so it's a win-win situation considering that the book didn't suck so bad.

I have never read Robyn DeHart. I was given this book as an ARC read.
My reviews are different from a lot I see. I don't give reviews that repeat everything in an author’s synopsis. I actually don’t even read those anymore so I am totally surprised on all aspects of the story. No hint of spoilers of any kind. That is also what I did with this book even though she was an unknown author to me, I did not read what this book was about so I would have no expectations going in. I am also reluctant to say too much in my reviews as to give any hint of what happens.
I am a Regency snob so as soon as I opened it and saw late 1880's I was like UGH!! They tend to read too modern for my taste but was pleasantly surprised that this one didn't actually read that modern. I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the characters, Fielding and Esme. I loved this storyline. So different from my usual reads. I liked the suspense and intrigue. The secondary characters were also written well.
I look foward to reading book 2 and recommend this book.

This was a great read from beginning to end.. This was definitely a hot story.. I haven't read many books by Robyn but this one was so so good that I plan on waiting for more of what she has in store.
The characters were amazing. You could feel the spark and the heat between them flying through the pages.
I highly recommend this book.
I received this book from the author in exchange for an review in exchange for a voluntary review and these are purely my thoughts and no one else's.

Exciting and wildly entertaining! A true treasure hunt with all the mysteries and riddles to keep you on your toes. Fielding & Esme were utterly adorable in their desire and humility. Neither thought themselves good enough for the other, nor believed that they truly wanted them. And yet their passion could not be denied. I love watching Fielding care for Esme in the little things, he truly listened to not just what she said, but what she didn’t say. The mysteries surrounding Pandora’s Box and the cursed bracelets was intense and intriguing. This book is a great blend of National Treasure, the Mummy and Indiana Jones. I could totally picture Fielding & Esme as The Mummy’s Rick & Evie. Always up for adventure, never backing down and wildly in love. A great read!

This is the first book I have read from this author, and I was pleasantly surprised. When I started reading, I saw the date of 1887; I am a Regency reader, so I was a little wary, but it turned out to be a really good book.
I had not read a Romantic/Adventure book in quite a while, so it was a nice change of pace and I really got into the storyline. I loved Fielding and Esme and their building romance topped off with mystery, suspense, danger and intrigue was exciting. I also enjoyed the secondary characters and felt they added a lot to the book.
Fielding and Esme do get their HEA, but I missed not having an epilogue at the end and I also wanted the evil jerk to get his comeuppance at the end, but he walked away scot-free. I voluntarily read & reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book; all thoughts & opinions are my own.

Okay. So, this is my first book from this author and I have to say that she surprised me. After reading a book that disappoints me (because the author happens to be one of my favorite author) I was quite reluctant to read this book. And I'm glad I pick it up because it was really good! Well, at least for me it was.
I don't know why the rating for this book is quite low but then again, it's not right for me to judge a reader's choice or taste in books. For me, I do like it alot! Well, it may not be a tip-top notch kind of book like those 5/5 stars but it makes me want to read another book again. Gives me hope.
I love the two main protagonist alot. I mean, Fielding Grey and Esme Worthington didn't disappoint me at all. Their personalities and characteristics are so opposite from each other that it attracts them together. They thought they start it off at a "false" attractions or lust but you know what? They were very, very wrong about that. I do feel that their love may be abit impromptu but still I don't mind at all.
Don't you just love reading books that has a rakish hero falling in love with a bookish and nerdy heroine? *sighs* I wish that happen to me. Hmph.
I admit that there a few shortcomings in this books but then again, which book doesn't? Even from my top 10 list of my favorite books has shortcomings that annoys me. But for this, it doesn't really concern me so much maybe because it's my first time reading from this author.
I like her writing alot. It was smooth, flowing and neat. Her story plot was really fun and amazingly, she loves ancient histories or legends as much as I do. What more can I ask? Ancient history inside a historical romance book? HISTORYCEPTION.
Anyway, I would absolutely recommend this book to all of you out there. It was good for me though and I hope you'll feel the same way (probably not) but then again, this is my review and opinion of it. It's not fantastic but it's definitely good. Have a good day everyone!

This was a fun romance for readers who love a little adventure with their romance. With a touch of Indiana Jones and The Mummy, this novel features adventure, fun, and danger. I look forward to reading others in this series! It is also a RT Reviewer’s Choice Award WINNER for Best Historical Romantic Adventure--a category I will have to keep an eye on if this book is an example of what to expect. Overall, a fun and entertaining read. Can't wait to try others in this series.

Nice summer adventure movie vibe (think "The Mummy" in Victorian times) with a loner treasure hunter hero and a hopeful innocent heroine. The romance and the adventure plot are well balanced. If you like classic Amanda Quick historicals, you will love this one.

There is a gentleman's club near St. James St., a luxurious one with all the accoutrements one would expect from such a fine establishment; fine liquors, exotic cigars, gaming and a comfortable chair in which to read the daily papers. Solomon's is by invitation only and those invitations are not extended without exceedingly careful consideration. Because in this club is a secret room where secret meetings occur. And in these secret meetings some of London's finest gentlemen gather to discuss their passions; their obsessions. Some are scholars, some collectors, some treasure-hunters, but each of them are after the find of the century. Meet the Legend Hunters...

There’s nothing quite as tempting as Pandora’s Box . . .
Fielding Grey is a treasure seeker with a taste for danger and experienced women. His latest mission: wrest Pandora’s fabled box from a notorious criminal mastermind. Not in the job description: save an innocent damsel in distress.
Bluestocking, Esme Worthington has favored dusty tomes over society balls, and thrilling tales over flirtations. But when two scoundrels break into her home, she is thrust into a real-life adventure. Pursued and suddenly possessing the forbidden box, Esme can’t resist peeking inside. Under the spell of Pandora’s seductive curse, she’s soon offering herself to Fielding—body and soul. With her reluctant rescuer determined to resist her charms, can the two outwit an enemy who will stop at nothing to seize their precious prize?

Will he follow in his kin’s footsteps and leave love behind…
It is nothing to say this book was unexpected. When I was offered this story to read, I thought it would one more rogue from a sort of gaming hell/club seducing the scholar heroine.
How wrong I was.
This is an adventure story in the heart of the city with a dash of fantasy.
Firstly, it is Esme who seeks to be seduced or does the seducing.
And while Fielding is truly a rogue, he goes after what he has been asked to retrieve, but along the years, he has built a conscience, his own, adaptable to circumstances. Yet he has no romantic bones nor sentimentalist expectations.
He is a man who has been shaped by the events of his life and what he was left to deal with afterwards.
When the truth about his family’s history is revealed to him, I would have expected angst, hate for the culprit and guilt for the man who loved him despite everything, what I did not see was the shame he feels about his parentage.
Esme made herself the woman she is now, she too had to fight to free herself from society’s stronghold, she learned the price to be herself came with loneliness and estrangement from her relative. For being too straightforward and knowledgeable, she was shunned, left to live by herself and told again and again she was too much and at the same time not enough to attract any man’s notice.
Their relationship is one of instant attraction, yet they fight it, more specifically Fielding refuses to succumb as he doesn’t pervert innocent misses. Esme is more willing, ready to let passion reign her for a while, to experiment something she has been denied until now, infatuation and the awakening of her body.
This story is entertaining and intriguing as it unbalances the usual course of seduction and with the added magical subplot, it offers to the hero the grand redeeming he didn’t know he was seeking.
I have just one complaint, well two, the villain walks away free after the abuses, lies and horrors he is guilty for which the hero should hate him and there is no epilogue.

Bluestocking, Esme Worthington has favored dusty tomes over society balls, and thrilling tales over flirtations. But when two scoundrels break into her home, she is thrust into a real-life adventure. Pursued and suddenly possessing the forbidden box, Esme can’t resist peeking inside. Under the spell of Pandora’s seductive curse, she’s soon offering herself to Fielding—body and soul. With her reluctant rescuer determined to resist her charms, can the two outwit an enemy who will stop at nothing to seize their precious prize?

Will he follow in his kin’s footsteps and leave love behind…
It is nothing to say this book was unexpected. When I was offered this story to read, I thought it would one more rogue from a sort of gaming hell/club seducing the scholar heroine.
How wrong I was.
This is an adventure story in the heart of the city with a dash of fantasy.
Firstly, it is Esme who seeks to be seduced or does the seducing.
And while Fielding is truly a rogue, he goes after what he has been asked to retrieve, but along the years, he has built a conscience, his own, adaptable to circumstances. Yet he has no romantic bones nor sentimentalist expectations.
He is a man who has been shaped by the events of his life and what he was left to deal with afterwards.
When the truth about his family’s history is revealed to him, I would have expected angst, hate for the culprit and guilt for the man who loved him despite everything, what I did not see was the shame he feels about his parentage.
Esme made herself the woman she is now, she too had to fight to free herself from society’s stronghold, she learned the price to be herself came with loneliness and estrangement from her relative. For being too straightforward and knowledgeable, she was shunned, left to live by herself and told again and again she was too much and at the same time not enough to attract any man’s notice.
Their relationship is one of instant attraction, yet they fight it, more specifically Fielding refuses to succumb as he doesn’t pervert innocent misses. Esme is more willing, ready to let passion reign her for a while, to experiment something she has been denied until now, infatuation and the awakening of her body.
This story is entertaining and intriguing as it unbalances the usual course of seduction and with the added magical subplot, it offers to the hero the grand redeeming he didn’t know he was seeking.
I have just one complaint, well two, the villain walks away free after the abuses, lies and horrors he is guilty for which the hero should hate him and there is no epilogue.

Thanks to BookSprout for a the newest edition of this ebook - this is my freely given opinion.
This series has been on my tbr list for a few years, and I was happy to see that it is being reissued, especially if this means the third book will be accessible in the future. I have enjoyed Robyn DeHart books in the past, and I liked the premise of 19th century legend hunting adventurers.
Anyways, this is about Fielding Grey, an antiquities dealer with a dark side and disreputable history. The opening sequence is quite attention grabbing, and reminiscent of Indiana Jones or the The Mummy, with Grey having been commissioned privately to find some scrolls from the lost library of Alexandria.
After the swash buckling opening, we are drawn with Grey back to London, where he is commissioned by the Solomon Society to find Pandora's Box. He has a contentious history with this society because he blames them for the ruination and death of his father, also an adventuring legend hunter, looking for Crusader gold, who died in a cave in related to his searches. Grey felt that his father's obsession, constant searching, and emptying the family coffers in his search were to be blamed on the Society. While he went a similar route as his father, working for a number of years with his estranged uncle, the Raven who dealt in the illegal antiquities market; his hunting is purely for profit and to bring his family's finances back in line. But they make him an offer he cannot refuse, and he has the idea that if he can get closer to the Society, he could also get answers to questions about his father's death.
In the meantime, he had parted ways years back with his uncle, and now worked on his own, dealing with private commissions like that of the Society.
Meanwhile, the heroine of the story is Esme Worthington, an orphaned bluestocking spinster who is a bit of lonely social outcast because of a silly scandal in her deb years. She is quite open and disingenuous and that has gotten her into trouble before. Her society matron sister, and brother in law have turned their backs on her, and she spends her days living with her adopted aunt Thea, cat Horace, and her books, studying legends and myths, such as about Pandora's Box. When we meet her, her home is being ransacked in the middle of the night by two ruffians, and when she comes upon them, they decide to kidnap her and take her with them. They were sent to search for a key that she is believed to own, that opens Pandora's Box and they were given directions by the Raven on where it is reputed to be.
They manage to find it, and the key happens to be a pendent that was gifted to Esme by her scholar father. Grey, on the same search for the box happens upon the ruffians and the kidnapped Esme as they find and open the Box, which also entraps them through mystical bracelets, in a curse. Despite the fact that Grey knows he is no hero figure, he decides that he must save Esme as well as steal the Box. Esme cannot help herself either, having the Box and the key in her possession, and when she opens the Box, she is also trapped by one of the curses of the Box, which she thinks is lust, especially when she finds herself compulsively drawn to the handsome and desirable Grey.
He and Esme must now work together to break the curse, before she succumbs to it's ultimate end.
This was a fun romantic adventure that was quite an enjoyable read. There were some consistency issues that were annoying, especially considering this is a reissue of an older book. For example, right in the blurb, it says that Fielding Grey is the second son of the Marquess of Eldon - but in the book, he and his father were viscounts, and he eschewed the title for the most part, and from the story he has a sister and mother, but no mention of any brothers. But for the most part, I quite enjoyed the give and take between the main characters in their romance. But the sideline story of his relationships with his family, his criminal past, and the Raven were very intriguing and entertaining as well.
Definitely a fun, sweet, steamy, and adventuresome read and reminiscent of movies like the Mummy and strong Indiana Jones vibes.

3.5 stars rounded up bc I’m feeling generous
if you are as obsessed with Brendan Fraser’s Rick O’Connell in The Mummy as I am, then you will looooove this. It’s essentially a historical AU fanfiction of that movie, with a less fun and slightly annoying (there’s a distinct pick-me vibe every once in a while unfortunately) heroine but a just as dashing and gorgeous hero. The biggest issue was that personally the smut felt really…clunky? Just lacked any tension, felt (pun fully intended) dry and badly described (really badly choreographed), they weren’t really sexy! There’s this lack of buildup or any tangible descriptions that feel real. The ~deflowering~ is so rushed and poorly written I actually laughed out loud. Sooo yeah.
But the plot is very fun, the dialogue and the romance is still quite compelling (although again, some awkwardness with the pacing or with how certain scenes play out - I kept rewriting things in my head almost, wanting it to go slightly differently or elaborate more in certain moments, but that’s just me going off on my own issue) overall, a very cute and fun and swashbuckling adventure that’s still super easy to read. There’s no predictable ballroom scenes or typical turns about the garden, this historical has ancient curses and unexplained magic and kidnapping and secret societies!! And if u just close ur eyes and imagine O’Connell???? Incredible. Brb gotta go rewatch that movie

This was very much underwhelming.
It wasn't horrible but the only positive thing I can say about it is that it was a fast read. It and its sequel have been sitting on my TBR for years after I randomly found book three which has been an alright, yet enjoyable read for me.
"Seduce Me" took a while to get going and the characters weren't extraordinary in any way. Neither was the plot. Plus, the love scenes were quite lame after the title and description suggested much more.
I really disliked Fielding's cliché reaction to finding out a certain something about his family and himself. Very cliché, especially considering how he kept repeating that Esme is nothing like her sister. Why would the same not count for him and his relatives?
It also really irked me that none of the two had any concerns about a potential pregnancy since they were adamant on it being a casual affair between them without marriage prospects???
Finally, there should have been an epiloge since the ending was rather abrupt. A satisfying epilogue might have brought it up to 2,5 stars but I'm unhauling my paperback copy anyway. Not worth keeping.

Seduce me, by Robyn DeHart. This was rather an intriguing love story to read. This story was filled with the excitement of a treasure hunt. Spies and cut throat robberies and even kidnappings. The most fun part for me was the ever persistent heated love match growing between Esme and Fielding.
While reading the story I noticed a number of struggles that Fielding had with himself when it came to Esme. I would have like to have a couple instances where Esme and Fielding gave into to temptation and ignited the flames of a toss and turn in the bed. The way Fielding was characterized in the book my imagination would go wild during these scenes. I adored Esme’s character. She is a strong, intelligent woman who definitely was afraid to express her emotions or what she thought.
Her character was my favorite in the book. The book did have some entertaining moments surrounding the hunt for the treasure and the intense passion that grows between Esme and Fielding. The book is a page turner with some interesting characters. Aunt Thea is my second favorite character. I look forward to reading more from this writer.
Until next time my fellow readers… read on!

A well written, well put together adventure novel set in the Victorian era. An era of discoveries, inventions and poverty, a background that is depicted visually. Adventurist and wanderer Fielding and science-savvy Esme find each other, and the mysterious Pandora's box. While trying to solve the dangers, problems and curses surrounding this box they also try to navigate the feelings they develop for each other. The pace of the storyline is not very fast, which makes it a bit long-winded at times. But it's also suspenseful, romantic, and the fact of mythological box turning out to be real is interesting. That also bodes well for the rest of the series, in which members of an extremely exclusive - experimental - scientific society continue to explore mythological phenomena, whether existing or not. And will most likely find love in the process. This was the first book in the series, reads like a standalone, but you get to know more characters and probably get their own story.

This is the first book by Robyn DeHart’s that I’ve read, but it will not be the last. I was “seduced” from the beginning, when it appeared the storyline would follow an Indiana Jones type of an adventure. I was all in for what excitement that would bring but wait we are in the regency period and a bluestocking is confronting two burglars in her night clothes no less. It gets even better because along comes our Indiana Jones treasure hunter, Fielding Grey, and he rescues our damsel in distress, Esme Worthington, and with handsome Fielding our author tosses in Maxwell Barrett a notorious rake and we have our James Bond additions. There are so many remarkable parts to this storyline that I can’t mention them all but the adventure, the mystery , the family secrets, the curses in Pandora’s Box, and oh yes 😊 the romance and “lust” are just some for starters. The book itself is well written grammatically, characters are spectacular, it’s a standalone HEA and I can’t wait for Book Two in this series!.

Is there anyone who isn’t a fan of the movie The Mummy? I need for there to be more books written like this, and when I saw this one which revolves around a scholar heroine and explorer hero I was sold!
Our heroine has spent years researching the myth of Pandora’s Box and then one night she gets kidnapped for her knowledge. Our hero has been tasked by a secret society to retrieve Pandora’s Box from a villain and along the way ends up rescuing the heroine too! No one can resist the box’s lure though.... especially not the heroine and she just HAS to take a peek.
This was a lighter historical romance without a lot of angst. I think I maybe set my expectations a bit high and this light hearted read didn’t quite match them. There was adventure and the lure of treasure and mythology but I just wanted more of all of it! I’m definitely in for the rest of the series now that I know the rhythm of the book.

I love historical romances and I have always had a soft spot for anything Egyptian or Mythical and it’s quite rare that you can read a book which covers both but this read has it all!
Yes it was romantic and steamy to get your pulse going, there were some evil characters, well kept secrets revealed to keep you on your toes and some brilliant characters but what made this such a great read for me was the mythical element of Pandora’s box.
I could honestly read this again and again for me it was that good. It helped of course that Esme and Fielding got their HEA and their romantic journey was fun and steamy with a surprising twist at the end.
A great series starter, I can't wait for the next in the series!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Robyn DeHart is a new author for me, and I enjoyed her style. I would describe it as action/adventure with a splash of romance. There were definitely some steamy encounters, but they were in the last third of the book.
Seduce Me is the first book in the Legend Hunters series. This book’s legendary item is Pandora’s box. I was impressed with the amount of research it seems the author did into the various theories about the box and it’s properties. I’m looking forward to seeing which other legends are explored in the series.
Fielding and Esme’s story is engrossing. The author gives such vivid descriptions of the characters, their experiences, and settings that it was easy to immerse myself in the story. I can’t wait to read Max’s story!.

Esme is a 27 year old book loving, intelligent spinster. Fielding hunts treasures/antiquities for money. They cross paths when she is kidnapped and he is hired to find Pandora's box.
I really liked this. I liked the mix of adventure, mythology, and romance. Of course Pandora's box is opened; but not only by the easily guessed, but others too. Nice twist on the Raven's identity. Interesting how families have a lack of communication which could have solved some issues (but then Fielding and Esme might never have met, so that wouldn't have worked!) much earlier. Just talking. It's amaze balls how it helps so much, shocker that.
Interested in the next, Max's story (who is fascinated with the legend of Atlantis). Graeme's, how made an appearance in this one at the end, is book 3.

Let’s go on an adventure. I so love adventure stories especially if they incorporate something mythological or historical in the story. This one – Pandora’s Box. YES! I have read a lot of Robyn’s stories (almost all in fact) and my favorite series is what I call “Jack the Ripper” series (if you haven’t read it and love creepy and mystery, run get it). Anyway, this story is so delightful to read. Adventure, villains and some might or might not be villains abound in this story. The love story between Fielding and Esme is sweet and I love how Robyn reversed-roled these characters. Cannot wait to read the next story about the lost city of Atlantis.

Very good, a few glitches
I really enjoyed this mystery/romance romp through history and mythology. I liked both main characters. She was a bit naive and clueless at the start but she evolved quite nicely. He was the perfect Indiana Jones type from the start. Great mystery. I liked the idea of the secret society and searching for mythological treasures as if they were real. A little paranormal thrown in for good measure. Nicely done. There are a few formatting issues and edits that need to be done but for the most part, I enjoyed the story and will continue with the series.

This is a great read! I can’t wait to read more books in the series. It’s got everything, romance, suspense and a great twist I didn’t see coming. Robyn DeHart is a wonderful story teller! The only negative; it’s the first book in the series and I will need to wait to read the others after they are written. You will love all the main characters. I cannot rave enough about this book! My next read will be anything written byRobyn DeHart.
