This story was described to me as Indiana Jones + The Mummy + National Treasure. Now, I love all of those things. The Mummy is my all time favorite movie. And while the story was mostly entertaining, it didn't give what I was promised lol the FMC was witty and intelligent - which we love. The MMC was also supposed to be smart but just kept digging himself holes he couldn't get out of (see what I did there? Archaeology humor). The miscommunication had me rolling my eyes. The romance was cute, but so cheesy and a little spicy. Though I will say, the descriptions of the spice felt a little cringe at times

at one point she literally says she wants to feels his penis in her vagina and that gave me the ick and immediately took me out of what was happening

I also felt their history wasn't delved into enough. I felt their present day chemistry but I didn't feel their emotional connection based on their past friendship/rivalry. Overall enjoyable but fell a little flat as far as execution.
