Temple of Swoon by Jo Segura is a contemporary adventure romcom featuring an archaeologist and a journalist.
Though not listed as an actual series anywhere I can find, this installment is set about a year and a half after the previous book, Raiders of the Lost Heart. The MCs from that book have a nice cameo in this one; our new FMC Miri is under the mentorship of the previous FMC, Corrie. You could absolutely read this as a stand-alone!
I had a fun time reading this book, but I did struggle a bit with the overall pacing of the novel and with some transitions, especially transitions into steamy scenes.
The world needs more adventure romance books! This really scratched my itch for something like The Mummy or especially Fool’s Gold.
I received a complimentary review copy from Berkley Romance and NetGalley. All opinions contained herein are my own.
