I'm a sucker for a good pun title and this book also delivered on chemistry. It was a good light fluffy read and enjoyable

This was a fun summer adventure that transported me to the jungles on a wild wondrous and amorous adventure. This had everything that I look for in a reading getaway including the banter between the leads that draws me and keeps me turning pages.

this was so so good! it was cute and STEAMMYYY i was not expecting the dual POV at all and i think it added so much to it! i can't wait until the next one in the series!

This was so cute and funny! The two main characters had such great chemistry right from the beginning. I've never read anything by Jo Segura before but I will definitely be checking our more of her work!

5 stars for the first half, 2 stars for the second half, so I’m giving this a 3.5 star rating to be fair. I had such high hopes for this story! The couple’s attraction in the first half of the book is sizzling! I found myself intrigued by the archaeology plot and couldn’t wait to find out how this would play into the overall plot. Unfortunately, as seems to be with many romance novels today, the second half of the book turned into smut without the proper lead up into the couple realizing they are in love following this portion. The archaeology part took a backseat to the spice, which is fine, but selfishly I wanted more of that mixed in. A fun read overall but sadly, forgettable.

When I go into a romance, especially one pitched as a romantic comedy, I'm weary. I think it's a difficult thing to balance, the realistic pacing of a romantic plot line between two people who don't really like one another to begin with, alongside the humor needed to make it a comedy. I think this one really faltered when it came to the romance. The comedy was the highlight of this book for me. I didn't really understand the characters feelings or thoughts because their actions didn't align with anything they would say or do. I also feel like the chemistry wasn't there at one chapter, and then the next it was in our face and I just didn't buy it. I think this premise was fantastic, but the execution wasn't for me.

This review is hard for me. I'm not sure what I would rate it. I keep going back and forth in my decision. I think the book was good. At times it seemed to be a bit too long. At times I was hooked. At times I really liked Ford. As someone who just lost their mom to a terminal illness I get why he did what he did. But at the same time he made me mad.

This was fine. The premise is fabulous, and many readers I adore loved it. The writing style and dynamic between the two main characters just wasn't for me. I've got to fall in love with at least one of them in order to want to follow their love story, and these two didn't click with me.

Oh how I loved this sexy and fun adventure story guaranteed to bring the HEA! Featuring women in STEM and a fast paced enemies to lovers storyline with a gorgeous and strong heroine looking to find lost treasure.

I loved pairing it with the audiobook format too, and loved the narration so much. I even found myself wanting to listen to the story again and again over picking up the book, and would love to listen to more by the narrator.

*many thanks to Berkley Romance, PRH audio and Netgalley for the gifted copy for review

An adventurous and sizzling romance you won't want to miss out on!

I LOVED this book. Segura writes a laugh-out-loud and moving enemies to lovers romance featuring two archeologist and their mission to find an Aztec warrior's last wherabouts. The witty banter was A+ The tension was 1000% and the FINALLY moment was worth the wait.

I cannot remember the last time I've been so emotionally invested in characters as much as I was with with Corrie x Ford. The ending had me GASPING and not able to breathe (thanks Jo for that!).

There's a follow up sequel with a new cast of characters that I cannot wait to read!

This was really cute. I just wish that their romance was a little more believable. I feel like it was lacking something.
First archeologist romance, probably won't be my last.
The last 2 chapters had me really scared for a minute there. Good job for that Jo Segura.

I loved this book and will definitely be reading more like this one and more from Jo Segura. I didn't see the twist coming and was definitely intrigued and hooked the entire book.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review which has not altered my opinion, thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

When it comes to adventure romance, there is often a comparison to Lara Croft or to Indiana Jones, hardly ever is there a comparison to both in the same book. *Raiders of the Lost Heart* is an enjoyable adventure between two former friends whose relationship has gone sour thanks to career goals and misunderstandings. When Corrie and Ford are forced back together to work on a dig that would change both of their careers, tempers flare and sparks fly, but trust is nowhere to be seen.

This book presents a satisfying narrative that draws you in and provides a story that is satisfying and intriguing. The comparison to Indiana Jones and Lara Croft is hinted at but not actually shown until almost the end of the book, which was a bit disappointing. However, the attention to details in archaeology and the academic did make the story more believable. It would have been beneficial to have more information provided concerning the side characters so they were also able to feel like fleshed out people rather than just paper figures in the background.

Overall, a satisfying book with fun characters and a good debut. I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us! 3.75 out of 5.

Raiders of the Lost Heart is a fun rom-com that is filled with adventure. I love all the books with women in cool careers that are coming out, no more type cast bakers or secretaries! I look forward to reading more from Jo Segura in the future!

THank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! While I did find parts of it a little predictable, it was such a fun read and I couldn't put it down. So excited to see the series will continue. I can't wait to read more from Jo Segura!

Loved how it called back to classic romance and adventure films like Romancing the Stone, The Mummy, and Indiana Jones. Escapist and so fun!

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

This was simply fine. I loved the cover more than almost any other I've seen, but mostly I spent a lot of time hating the MMC. He, frankly, sucks, and doesn't deserve a beautiful, smart, brave woman in his life.

Very cute and fast read. Reminded me of "The Lost City" with sandra bullock and Channing Tatum. Love every bit of the story !

I thought that this book would be a cute, maybe a little spicy archeological romance, but I was really disappointed. The action/adventure really doesn't happen until the last 10 percent of the book or so. And for the most part the heroine wanted us to believe she was a total baddie but then is relegated to the damsel in distress at the end? Come on. I didn't like any of the characters and thought they acted much younger than the 30 somethings they were supposed to be. I thought it would be more like the mummy or Indiana Jones (as it was marketed to be), but it was not. I was really disappointed.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.
