I was so interested in this book. Love an archeologist romance. Plus ated mates? Sign me up. Unfortunately, the characters and plots were muddled from the beginning. I really enjoyed the discussion of the dirty, day to day aspects of the dig site.

Anna (the heroine) was too timid, too submissive, for the role this book required, especially as an archelogy student. And Luke's alphahole tendencies because he was attracted didn't feel like a romance. Felt like a scene you saw at every bar before 2020.

I DNFed 11% in. So no star rating level. There's a mystery plot line about some cave paintings but I stopped when the bat attacked her hair in the middle of the night. Dig sites aren't for midnight rendezvous points.
