About this listen
The shadows hold secrets darker than they ever imagined . . .
In 1888 Victorian England, Ami Dalton navigates a clandestine dual life. By day, she strives to establish herself as a respected Egyptologist, overcoming the gender biases that permeate academia. But with a heart for saving black-market artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, she is most often disguised as her alter ego, the Shadow Broker.
After eight years in India, Oxford's most eligible bachelor, Edmund Price, has come out of the shadows to run for Parliament and is in search of an Egyptologist to value a newly acquired collection. Expecting a renowned Oxford professor, Edmund instead finds himself entangled with Ami, the professor's determined daughter. As they delve into the treasures, their connection deepens, but trouble emerges when a golden griffin—rumored to bear the curse of Amentuk—surfaces, and they're left to wonder if the curse really is at play, or if something more nefarious is hiding among the shadows . . .

Story
Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that's Kit Turner's domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way - conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit's help. If Jackson doesn't find the cabby, he'll be fired. If Kit doesn't help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.

My favorite of the 3
- By K.C. on 10-21-24
By: Michelle Griep
Ami Dalton’s determined to prove her skill as an Egyptologist despite the odds against her in Victorian England. With her expertise in Egyptian artifacts, she finds herself authenticating the amazing collection of the handsome man who rescued her in a most unusual “problem solving” way. While he wants to sell the collection, she desires to preserve it. Ami has a secret life though beyond being a professor’s daughter. She’s known as the Shadow Broker who rescues treasures from the seedy underworld. But when she gets mixed up in their latest plot, she soon finds she may be in over her head.
Edmund Price is the most eligible man in Oxford. Having just returned from India after 8 years away, he’s looking to run for Parliament. Unfortunately, the stodgy professor he wants to hire to authenticate his Egyptian collection is the gorgeous daughter who captivated his attention earlier. As she works through his treasures, he finds himself falling for her, but he has to strike a careful balance between his feelings for her & the powerful man & his daughter who would elevate him to Parliament.
I adored this story! There were so many twists & turns. Ami & Edmund were such a delightful couple. The witty banter, shared faith, & sizzling chemistry between them kept me eagerly turning the pages. I loved their meet cute & their swoony romance. I also enjoyed Ami’s & Edmund’s character growth as they recognize what’s most important. Edmund’s poetry & his struggles with “word blindness” touched my heart. I also enjoyed Ami’s style, her intelligence, & pluckiness.
I’m a huge fan of all things Egypt & I loved the ancient mythology, curses, artifacts, & history woven into the story. The atmosphere was fantastic & I could easily picture the dangerous places Ami ventures into. The mystery kept me fully engaged. I also enjoyed the side characters especially Ami’s father.
I listened to the audiobook version & loved the narrator! She did a fantastic job bringing each of the characters to life. I especially enjoyed the way she voiced the male characters. Her voice was easy & pleasant to listen to.
Highly recommend! Can’t wait for the next book! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher but also purchased the audiobook version. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided.
Mystery, romance, & Egyptian artifacts!

1- This book is NOT "Action Adventure" nor "Historical." It is a straight up romance book.
2- Most of the book takes place in a single country home location, no exotic locations or even leaving the house for the most part
3- While the author is not ignorant of history, when history gets in the way of the romance history must go.
4- The characters are written from a modern perspective with modern sensibilities.
5- The book gets very Christian at the end.
6- There is no magic in this book, as that would be un-Christian see item 5
7- There is no clandestine dual life or "saving" artifacts from the wrong hand. Shadow Broker is name the character calls herself on rare occasions.
8- The main female character is a damsel who get rescued
All that being said, for what this book is, it is very well done. Engaging and well written. It get a little slow in third act, and that is why I rated it a 4 instead of a 5. But for a Christian romance book, it is a good one. Just don't be deceived by description as it is criminally misleading.

For those who care to know, it’s a clean romance, kissing only, with no cursing. It also has an overtly (but not heavy-handed) Christian theme.
