Last year, Alexis Peters barely escaped Egypt alive.  Her faculty advisor was killed in an attack, and one of the graduate students, Carson Bonham, disappeared.  Alex is now back home, trying to forget the horror.

Things are going well until Hunter Storme, Carson’s famous father, shows up and asks Alex to help him find his daughter.  Alex agrees and travels to Egypt with Hunter.

Ardeth is one of seven Scorpion warriors cursed by Set.  Ardeth and the other warriors, which include his twin brother, Amenhotep, are trying to keep Set’s minions from finding a human to read a curse, and bring Set back to life.  The minions want to use Alex for this task.

Ardeth and Alex are joined together after he rescued her last year.  He knows that the one way to save her from the minions, and from keeping the curse from being fulfilled, is for her to join in his curse.  Sharing her with his brother will speed up the process.

Ardeth & Amenhotep is an interesting, sexy addition to the Egyptian Lover stories.  I love the characters in this story, especially Ardeth, who is caring and gentle with Alexis.  The idea of a man changing into a sphinx fascinates me, and is wonderfully portrayed in this tale.

Each book in the series gets better, and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Jordan has in store for this series. I now want Amenhotep to find his own soul mate.
