Victoria Witherspoon had dominated her daughter all her life.   The woman “had a way of making her daughter feel inadequate, somewhat like a dim child.”  Like her father Charlotte was a bookworm.  Her parents are Egyptologists.  They schooled her “in everything Egyptian.  She could read and write Hieratic, Demotic, and hieroglyphs.  She could speak Arabic, Coptic, and even a little Ancient Egyptian.”

Eighteen-year-old virgin Charlotte Witherspoon was in love with a picture of an Egyptian King.  When she discovers a box with an Egyptian inscription and a beautiful necklace she is transported back in time and meets the man of her desires.

Amun is all that she ever desired in a man.  Could this be just a dream?  She knew that if this was real she must return to her time.  Can she find away home?  Can she leave the man she has longed for?

Amun desires Charlotte in every way.  He claims her as his and offers marriage.  She will be his queen.

Jordan Summers never disappoints, she’s done it again in “Tears of Amun,” she’s given her fans a book filled with erotic romance, passion, desire and rich with sensual eroticism.  I’ve always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt, Jordan describes what I’ve only been able to imagine.  Her characters are faultless:  Charlotte, kind, innocent, and naïve, longing for someone to love her unconditionally, Amun, strong, handsome and sensual.  How can you not be moved by their love?  Victoria is domineering but deep inside loves her daughter.  Henry, a man who loves his daughter but rarely stands up to his wife.  The plot is mesmerizing; I couldn’t put the book down until I’d read every word.  This is erotic romance at its finest.  I look forward to Jordan Summers’ next book.  With great honor I highly recommend “Tears of Amun” to all who enjoy erotic romance.
