Loved this! I live vicariously through my books and this one was the perfect summer adventure. I loved the characters and the breaking of stereotypes. It was a wonderful read!

What an enjoyable, fun, action-packed read! I love the Indiana Jones movies, so this book was right up my alley! Archealogical discoveries mixed with romance and intrigue. What more could a girl ask for? Would totally love to read more by this author - and have put it in a cart to order for my library when it is published! Thank you for a fun read!

I loved this! I need more archaeology romances in my life. I liked that the male main character showed emotion. Both main characters were relatable.

As a fan of The Mummy that enjoys it more as an adventure rom-com, this book scratched an itch that I had been looking for in romance novels. The enemies to lovers trope is one of my favorites along with forced proximity. The slow burn paid off and there were plenty of smoldering moments that made you hold on for the spice. There was tons of humor and witty banter, I love these characters and the ending was so exciting, I was on the edge of my seat through the last few chapters. I can only hope that we will get more adventures with Corrie and Ford!

This is one of my most anticipated reads of the year and has been since the moment I saw the announcement. With snappy prose and quippy characters, Raiders was fun from page one and as steamy as the jungle it is set in. Corrie and Ford have undeniable chemistry and I loved how they both felt like fully realized, fleshed out characters. I also appreciated that it did deliver on the action-adventure element near the end! I hope this brings about many more cross-genre romances!

Oh my gosh, this was such a fun story! I don't think I've ever read an adventure romance like this before - and I'm totally here for it (please tell me there'll be a second book). I'm an Indiana Jones fan myself (thanks to my husband actually) so I loved the nods to that in this book. I was not ready for those last 2 chapters (I thought it was going somewhere else than where it ultimately went lol, my poor heart), I loved how it all came together but it felt a bit rushed to me and left me wanting to know more. Overall, this was a super fun and spicy story.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC!

This story was such a fun adventure. So much good banter and humor with characters I really enjoyed reading about. Jo Segura's writing is wonderful.

Corrie is the Indiana Jones character and Ford (yes, named after Harrison Ford, as the text explains) is her rival. I really didn't find much to believe about their enemies to lovers dynamic, especially because Ford's POV made it abundantly clear that he didn't want to be enemies or even rivals. The banter (and dialogue in general) was pretty weak and everything felt slightly over-explained, from Sunny the assistant's name to the mystery investor and the "paid gig", how horny Corrie and Ford are (and always have been) for each other, etc.

And that was only in the first three chapters.

The spice is there, but the adventure isn't. The third act breakup was predictable, could spot it coming from ten chapters away. It's too bad, I wanted to like this since Raiders of the Lost Ark is a big favorite in my house.

A fun romp in the Mexican jungle. Loved seeing more diversity in these treasure hunting, archaeological adventure romance! Sweet, sexy, and a fantastically fun time!

What a great read! An excellent rom com reminiscent of Romancing the Stone, Indiana Jones and the Lost City! A perfect blend of archaeology, adventure and romance! Loved the chemistry between Corrie and Ford!

This was exciting, fun and sexy. Think Indiana Jones meets Tomb Raider and Romancing the Stone. I sure do hope this becomes a series!

This book was so fun. I was absolutely here for it. Portions dragged a bit but overall great pacing and an enjoyable story.
