Desert Delight

I thought that this book was an excellent read and couldn't put it down. I liked how educated the Black female was (University of Chicago graduate!!!!!!!!!)and how she carried herself and the fact that she had all the necessary tools needed for her trade. I especially enjoyed how the windy city was featured with places I'm familiar and can identify with. Ms.Keaton, thanks for the wonderful, well developed and educational love story. You now have a "new" fan!!!!!!!!!!

Great story

This was such a great read. I highly recommend it. These two were so exciting together and I love the idea of an black american woman being allowed on a big dig.

In Search of an Egyptian Tomb or Egyptian Love

For years Corina Camden has been the baby everyone doted on and the geeky little girl of the family, with the exception of one night when she was transformed into a raving beauty to attend her high school prom. Her date was arranged by her older brother with plenty of threats and instructions. The date was magical a one for Corina considering the response she was getting from her classmates and her escort. She listens intently to him as he describes his Egyptian homeland and his desire to be an archeologist, echoing similar desires she herself has dreamed of doing. Fast forward several years and Corina is all grown up and a well-known professor of archeology in the United States. She has been offered the chance to participate in an excavation in Egypt among the Royal Tombs of Tanis. The honor is one that hasn't been granted in ten years and will establish her as a serious Egyptologist. It is of little consequence Dr. Ashalon El Asab will be supervising the dig; she only hopes they can get along. Upon meeting Dr. El Asab, they each get a vague feeling of familiarity. There is one thing for sure; they are both instantly attracted to each other. However, Corina recognizes a personal involvement could only lead to trouble, so she resolves to fight the feelings. Working in close proximity with fireworks looming in the background, the dig may result in more then ancient artifacts to secure. NIGHTS OVER EGYPT is an endearing love story that casts an African American woman in a very nontraditional role in a country rich in history and culture. I was captivated by the obvious research Barbara Keaton put into this project and the vivid imagery she used to bring Egypt, its people and its heritage to life. If I didn't know better, I would've thought Keaton herself was of Egyptian decent. Her character development was excellent with even the secondary characters showing budding potential for an additional story or two. This is definitely a must have for the romance enthusiast.

Great Read

I think Ms. Keaton did exceptionally well in telling this story. It's a good read from start to finish. You would almost feel like you know the characters. I also like the fact that the female character in the book is very educated; she's not afraid of being different. It doesn't hurt things much that she's the type to stand her ground either. This is another great novel by one of the best female authors you'll ever run across!!! KUDOS~

Nights Over Eygpt

I just finished Nights Over Eygpt and LOVED IT! I espeically loved how Ms. Keaton established both the characters,how they related to the other and to the secondary characters in the book. Ms.Keaton wove the history of the country and the culture throughout her book. You could definitely tell she did her research! I would tell everyone to read it....and feel the mystery of Eypgt through Corina's eyes. Kudos to Ms. Keaton for a great read!
