What an amazing adventure! I have always been intrigued about time travel and I love Ancient Egypt. The sister writing team AKA May Nicole Abbey have brought the concept to life in this wonderful series.The stories can be read as stand-alone's...and I started with The Pauper, and this has just enticed me to read about the other characters in the stories that can be found in books one and two.A lot of research has gone into these stories, while I am no expert in Ancient Egypt or 18th Century England, the characters, story line, lifestyles, behaviours and in particular the language used in the stories truly made me feel like I was there!The two main characters in the story are wonderful. Heather is a headstrong beauty born and bread in 18th Century. She does not mince her words but also holds dear to heart the cultural and religious beliefs of her time - though she is known to push the boundaries.Ammon is an exotic scholar, both worldly and well traveled - in more ways than the average person. Between the two of them they find that each balances the other even though they frustrate the hell out each other.They embark on a journey, by accident to begin with, but later realise that they truly need each other - the future depends on them!This is a fantastic story, and I am now going to read book one and two...and then wait patiently for book number four!
