Publisher's summary

When love arrives on a camel, who knew it would be oblivious to flirting?

Self-proclaimed bachelor for life Phineas Fernley has dreamed of exploring the world since the day he found a book on archaeology hidden on the shelves of his father’s library. Armed with books and his personal journal, Phineas sets out to add his knowledge to the world of ancient artifacts. His one true desire is to walk into a Pharaoh’s death chamber and discover the treasure within.

Living in the Egyptian desert was supposed to be temporary for Lady Adelia Crandall and her father. After three years in Egypt, Adelia is no closer to convincing her father to return to England. As a spinster, all hope for a husband seems to be lost until a handsome gentleman arrives covered in sand and spit, riding upon an ornery camel.

Determined to fulfill their dreams, Adelia and Phineas set out on separate adventures. Phineas finds happiness at a dig site in the Valley of the Kings while Adelia shamelessly flirts, with the goal of making a match. When all hope seems lost, instead of giving up and accepting defeat, Adelia makes a request of a mythological goddess. To achieve their goals, she needs Phineas to notice her, and he needs Adelia to stop enchanting his every thought.

The Archaeologist and the Spinster is a stand-alone novel in this series by author Angela Johnson. This is a sweet Regency-era romance.

Great Story and Narrator

I love these books, and although Phineas is not my favorite Fenley Brother, I still loved this story. It was easy to feel empathy for the both of them. I can’t imagine being stuck in the desert of Egypt now, let alone the 1800s. It would be been so miserable and lonely for a woman. I have always been intrigued with Egyptian history, so it was really cool to be able to read facts about their gods. I cannot imagine having to remember the different gods and how they “bless” their people. I’m glad I only have to remember One.

Angela chose an excellent narrator in Grace. I’ve listened to some audiobooks in which the narrator ruined a good book. I’m so glad that Grace hasn’t ruined this series for me. I can’t wait for the other books to be made into audiobooks. I hope she uses the same actor.

If you have not started these books, I hope you start reading (and listening) to them now. They are romantic, charming, humorous, and wholesome.
