It sizzles your socks (off!!)

I have read a number of Sizemore's previous books and although they were well written they did not grab me from the start and compel me to rush to the finish only to regret that it had to end. This book does!!A.David (Angel) is a bit of a bad boy. He and Cleo have a 10 year history of battling over antiquities across Egypt and Greece.Their love story is believable because it is not an instantaneous attraction, it is based on knowing and growing.They are grown-up lovers who finally accept their fate is linked - but don't expect them never to fight again! The story has a good pace that carries the reader into the story and keeps you there ("Just a few pages more and then I'll turn out the light!")The entire secondary cast of characters are intriguing and could have had their own stories. Maybe Pia (Olympias) will appear later?? Congratulations Susan on a great tale!

Wow!

Passion is right! Passion and laughter and wit and romance. I adored this book and can't wait for her next one.

The Best Yet!

A pair of adventurous lovers, glamorous settings and men in kilts, suspense, scintillating dialogue and great sex, what more do you need? I laughed out loud, and fell in love with Angel Evans. I really hope a future book features a grown up version of the heroine's bratty teenage sister.

I loved this book!

If a woman had written Indiana Jones, this book would be it! The adventure never overshadowed the romance, and at the same time the story clipped right along. The dialogue is witty, too, and when I finished the book I was completely satisfied. A definite buy.

This author always tells a fantastic story

In 1868 on an Egyptian excavation led by her obsessed father, teenager Cleopatra Fraser fell in love with A. "Angel" David Evans. However, she had family duties and he wanted to make it in the archeological world, but knew that was impossible working for her zealous and jealous (in terms of his academic standing not loved ones) father. David returns to his home in the states while Cleo goes back to Scotland.A decade later, a bored Cleo helps open up a museum that showcases the works that she and her father uncovered from the tomb of Alexander the Great. However, Angel has come to Scotland to attain what he felt he was too young for him back in the sixties in Egypt. He wants Cleo by his side, but she wants nothing to do with him even if he makes her heart beat louder and faster. Neither one is prepared for the secret organization whose members will kill to regain the treasures of Alexander the Great that they failed to protect when Cleo and company "raided" their tomb.Susan Sizemore provides her fans with a heated historical romance that centers on two strong, independent, and talented archeologists. The story line is fast-paced as the two stalwart protagonists guard their hearts as well as they protect the past. Those fans that relish a more torrid nineteenth century romance will feel the fervor of the PRICE OF PASSION.Harriet Klausner
