While on a dig in Egypt, Gwen gets stung by a golden scarab (the sucker is moving) and wakes up an ancient mummy...

A bit too short for my taste, but good nonetheless. Good premise, great mummy, a little bit of intrigue and a lot of hotness.

I would have given it a four star if it had been longer.
An enjoyable story of a young, very normal, average girl finding love in the arms of a mummy that has come to life. Another reviewer call it smut and that fits; but it was well written smut. Many enjoy reading smut, I want the steam; if not I would be reading sparkling vampire books. There was romance, intrigue, a bad guy, the "rescuing of the damsel in distress" (LOL)that was blended well together.
What was wrong with it? The length; so much was packed in that I felt, well, cheated. Not in a bad way, just I want more way.

I would love to see the author take this short story and expand on it, turning it into a full length novel with another adventure with this yummy mummy and the love of his life who was a normal girl, not some raving beauty size 0.
I will definitely read more books by this author.

A college students goes on an archeological dig, finds a key, puts it in an artifact and falls into a tomb. She has brought a man back to life and faints when she sees him. He strips her clothes off and starts bathing her in a hidden underground pool. She revives as he rubs her body and lifts her in the water to place her on his penis. They have awesome sex and she really likes him a lot. She goes to find him clothes and her professor stops her. Then the free preview ended.

That was different.

The sex with a total stranger she just saw as a walking corpse was a surprise. I didn't really find the heroine's reactions realistic, but they could have been justified more if the story were longer.

The title was witty and the picture was of some random guy.

The premise was fun enough that I'll give another story by the author a chance.

This is pure PNR smut!
If you don't expect reason or realism this will likely give you a cheap thrill.

Lame. I read the entire 15 pages just to see how cheesy it was going to be and I wasn't disappointed.

The author could have written more! This is a short stories with an opened ending that makes you think there is more but there is no more!
