Sweet, lovely, and full of magic, Warrior of the Nile was a wonderful historical romance. A combination of Ancient Egyptian myth and sweet romance, this is a book not to be missed.I've made no secret of my love of Ancient Egypt. Or, should I say: my obsession. I love all things Ancient Egypt, so finding a romance book set in that time was like striking gold for me. But, I'm kind of a detail freak when it comes to the mythology, so I was worried that one discrepancy might turn me off from the book. But, I didn't have to be worried. The book was accurate, which soothed my mythology OCD, and entirely enjoyable. The blend of myth with romance was perfect and I ended of loving this book.Tiya was a lovely heroine. She was strong and remarkable unselfish. When she learns that she and Khenet have to sacrifice themselves, she's not worried about herself. She petitions the gods for Khenet's life. But, don't be fooled by her kindness. If you get on her bad side, she will take you down. I thought she was a likable, wonderful character.Khenet was also great. He was super sweet and strong. His sense of duty is paramount to him. Even if it meant dying, he was willing to sacrifice himself for Egypt and for the woman he loves. I thought he was adorable and I really liked him.The romance was lovely. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. These two were adorable together, their love completely pure and devoted. And, the chemistry between them is undeniable from the moment they meet. They were wonderful together.The plot was fast paced and I was hooked the entire way through. I really liked how the sacrifice was resolved and how it was explained. I knew that Tiya and Khenet had to live at the end, I just didn't know how that was going to happen, so the author managed to surprise me. I enjoyed the story and the ending was perfect.Warrior of the Nile was a fantastic historical romance. It had magic, myth, romance, and surprises. I really enjoyed reading this lovely book. Romance lovers, if you want something a little different, but no less great, then this is a book you'll want to check out.*Thanks to Netgalley and Carina Press for a copy!
