LADY OF THE TWO LANDS

Hattie soon discovers she's been thrust into the body and life of Hatshepsut, with no way back to her own time. Tuthmosis, the heir to the throne, hates her; the High Priest of Amun and the commander of the army want to kill her and Tuthmosis; and the best bathroom facilities in the country are the equivalent of a cat-box.

To make matters more difficult, she's falling helplessly in love with Senemut, and soon, she's not sure she even wants to return home. To protect Tuthmosis from assassination, the lovers arrange to put Hattie on the throne. But, what should she do when she suddenly finds herself, an obscure artist from Chicago, crowned ruler of all Egypt?

"This novel is quite an innovation in this time-worn genre. I enjoyed the atmosphere of magic that ushers through the novel. Ancient history has always been one of my favorite subjects and I could tell the novel was well researched. Delisi brought the characters to life and made them fully human...And I liked how Hattie gradually grows into the role of the regal monarch, instituting changes that reflect modern sensibilities but were quite revolutionary at that time. I urge readers to pick up LADY OF THE TWO LANDS, even if they are tired of the genre. This novel has given it new life. Elizabeth Delisi is an author to watch out for in the future."
~~Rebecca Durvin for Roundtable Reviews

"This was an enjoyable read. I loved the way Ms. Delisi pointed out the inevitable disconnect between Hattie's homeworld and that of ancient Egypt. From bathing to ruling, Hattie has multiple adjustments to make, as do the people around her. The author humorously points out multiple small actions which we take for granted, and which we, too, would miss dearly. Cultural differences are highlighted, and add depth to the story. The portrait of Ancient Egypt is well drawn, and was my favorite part of the book. Where is that Raamses exhibit now?" Overall rating: 3 hearts Sensuality rating: Mildly Sensual

"LADY OF THE TWO LANDS is a captivating adventure rich in historical detail, vibrant characters and courtly intrigue. Ms. Delisi's style is clear and straightforward; the pace of the narrative remains consistent throughout the story.

It is obvious to this reader that the author did a great deal of research to breathe new life into actual historical figures. The result is a memorable read which has something special to offer fans of historical romance as well as time travel romance readers. If you have yet to try time travel romance, LADY OF THE TWO LANDS is an excellent way to start and a hard act to follow. Ms. Delisi clearly raises the bar for other authors of time travel romance.

~~Melissa Freeman for The Romance Reader's Connection

"In this well paced and admirably concise novel we see Ancient Egypt as it would appear to us through Hattie's eyes and watch as she tries to fit in with the times, all of which is very entertaining and makes a good story. Add the attractive and kindly Senemut who is a world away from the alpha male of many romantic novels and you have a highly readable and enjoyable story...the ending is particularly appealing and I look forward to the next novel from this author."

"LADY OF TWO LANDS is an interesting tale that brings readers back through time to the court of Hatshepsut, along with the heroine Harriet Williams. Unlike most authors, Ms. Delisi chooses to let the readers know who are the traitors from the beginning instead of letting the suspense loose in the book, and then unfold the whole episode page by page. This reviewer finds this book well written, with a strong and likeable heroine, as well as a hero to die for. A highly recommended read for anyone who loves paranormal and time travel romance!"
