This Rec League is from Jordan. Thanks, Jordan!

The Mummy (1999) is one of my favorite movies, and I would love to find more books that match its Action-Adventure-Romance vibes. I’ve read and loved Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase and As You Desire by Connie Brockway. Both of these take place in Egypt, but that is not necessarily a requirement. Settings like the Amazon and Africa could be fun, too! Fantasy/horror twists are also welcome.

Sarah: Mr. Impossible ( A | BN | K | G | AB ) is what comes to find first, followed immediately by Scoundrel, by Zoe Archer ( A | BN | K | AB ). The whole Blades of the Rose series would probably work for this reader.

The first Blades of the Rose is Warrior. ( A | BN | K | G | AB )

Destroyer by Meg Smitherman was inspired by The Mummy, I believe.

For a more contemporary setting: Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura ( A | BN | K ), and Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe ( A | BN | K | AB )

I’m chasing my tail as to which Ilona Andrews series might work most ideally, and I’m hoping someone in the comments will set my straight.

Claudia: My Beautiful Enemy by Sherry Thomas might fit?

Sarah: OH YES.

Maybe Burn for Me? Someone will tell me what’s what.

And Whiteout by Adriana Anders!

Amanda, do you think Something Wilder by Christina Lauren would work?

And for YA – The Princess Will Save You by Sarah Henning

Amanda: I think so!

Sarah: OH – The Parasol Protectorate – Gail Carriger ( A | BN | K | G | AB )

What books would you recommend? Let is know in the comments!
