Desire Me - Giveaway and Review


The Legend Hunters...

The Men of Solomon's meet in secret, their very existence only a rumor among the best of Victorian society. They are treasure hunters, men of wealth and title, seekers of myths and legends. And no legend is a mystifying as the lost city of Atlantis.

Years ago, Maxwell Barrett found a map to Atlantis and dedicated his life to the search for the mystical lost continent. But when an alluring woman make a wager for the priceless artifact, he may have discovered an even greater treasure.

A descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn't need are the sparks flying between her and Max. He's too devilishy charming to be trusted: The fate of her people is at stake as well as her heart. Yet a ruthless killer also covets the map. Now Max and Sabine must race to decode the prophecy's riddle before this criminal fulfills his deadly mission. (excerpt back cover).

My Review:

This book, Desire Me, by Robyn DeHart is like a blend of Lara Croft Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones. The story is woven so nicely between Max's search for the lost city of Atlantis while helping Sabine understand the ancient prophecy concerning her family. They work well together to help both of them achieve their desires and in the end, it's truly a masterpiece in the making.

This is the second book in the Legend Hunters series and yet can be read completely alone and still find so much excitement and intrigue with it. If you like stories like Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile then this is a must read for you.

I received this book, compliments of Hachette Book Group for my honest review. This book is available in paperback and eBook formats only. I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

  9. Life's greatest adventure had to be moving back to Iowa from Texas after my mom passed away. It was the first time in my 30 (at the time) years of life I'd been without her and it was, and is, my greatest adventure.

    This book sounds like it would be right up my alley! Please count me in! :)

  12. Thank you for sharing with us. I love the look of your blog, it is easy to get around and calm colors. My biggest adventure is starting a blog, I have been wanting to write forever and have several books started but could not put together the dicipline. The blogging is giving me more courage and I did not anticipate how fun it would be, especially when you are offered a book and asked for your first review. You know the one that does not come from your own bookshelf.
