"Inez" "The money doesn't matter to me," I said. "The only thing that does is you, us, our family. You are the love of my life, and I will not lose you now" He shut his eyes, his breath shuddering, When he opened them again, he stared at me intently, his hand coming to brush against the curve of my cheek"I love you. I gave him a watery smile. "You are the most precious thing in here, Whit. "'Sweetheart, will you marry me? 

Inez, you are the love of my life," Whit roared. "I will not lose you now.” 

 "Inez," he whispered. "You want to know why I saved your life? I can think of no better act to show how much I love you. This world would not be the same without you in it, and don't everwant to find out what that feels like. Ifl have to follow you across a desert, I will.If I have to jump into the Nile, again and again, I will. If I have to leap in front of a thousand bullets, I will." He closed his eyes, breath shuddering. "I will always love you.

You are the love of my life I will not lose you now!”

“I would burn the world twice over to save her life”

I LOVED the blend of history, fantasy and romance. Enemies to lovers turned touch her and you die / I will burn the world down to save her. We love to see it 👏🏾

I really enjoyed how the author incorporated her love for Egypt and the real life history and people into the story - the attention to detail was superb. I’m so sad to see these characters go I had the best time. The drama, the twists and reveals I did not see those coming. 

I’m so glad Inez found her own family and love that she deserves because her parents were not it. 

You are the love of my life I will not lose you now!”

I loved the characters and the plot, I think the world Ibañez created was well thought through, and tangible in a way. I wanted to give 3 stars for my love of the story she told, but the writing style didn’t work for me.
