Reviews: "This is an exceptional short story. Ms. Jordan has filled this tale with many enticing elements. The overall plot is original and was an immediate lure. The author’s development of the story is even better than I could have hoped. Emma and Kahma are two immensely likable characters. The passion and love that is portrayed will have you hot under the collar and moved by the depth of their love and loss. The pacing of the story makes sure that readers are involved from the first to the last page. This is an exceptional beginning to the Egyptian Lover series and has this reader hoping we will get to see more from these Scorpion Warriors soon." - 5 Angels, Amanda, Fallen Angels Reviews "Ms. Jordan has written a highly sensuous and erotic love story that spans time and is as hot as the sands of the Egyptian desert. Using the Egyptian myth of Set, Osiris, and Isis as a basis, she has woven a love story that will put you on the edge of your seat and keep you squirming while you are there. Each erotically written love scene is passion unleashed between two people whose love will last throughout eternity and can never die. Not even the evil curse of Set can condemn their love. With a true talent for touching the heart with the tender embrace of love and faith across time, Ms. Jordan tells a tale of two people's hearts and souls linked over the ages." - 5 Hearts, Orange Blossom, The Romance Studio "EGYPTIAN LOVER is a wonderful book that will send the reader back in time to a place of mystery and magic. Emma is a strong character that readers will enjoy and her mystery man brings new meaning to the word sensual. There is a dark side to this tale that will enthrall readers and draw them in. The love scenes are passionate and the plot is one you won’t soon forget. Isabella Jordan has penned a story full of adventure and intrigue, and I will certainly be on the lookout for more of her work in the future." - 4 Blue Ribbons, Angel, The Romance Junkies "Fascinating and unendingly exciting, Egyptian Lover: Kahma takes you into an ancient world of long ago and tantalizes your senses. I adored Kahma because he not only remembered his long lost love but also knowing that she was reincarnated into Emma, he was willing to let her go to keep her safe. And I loved Emma because she was prepared to give up the life she knew just to remain by Kahma's side, even if she was cursed like him. This love affair crossed the boundaries of the living and time to recreate the passion that existed before. Having to choose between living or being the undead is a big decision but for these two lovers, being apart from one another was not an option. Ms. Jordan has invented a world where love remains timeless and passion conquers the darkness that surrounds them. Go buy your copy of Egyptian Lover: Kahma today, do not wait." - 4 stars, Sheryl, eCataromance "My heart was thumping with anticipated glee within the first couple of sentences of this story. I was immediately captivated by the setting and the characters. I couldn’t wait to find out how the interweaving story lines all connected. There was so much love in this story it made the sex amazing. I could feel the explosive passion between the characters and was immediately satisfied with every gripping, page-turning, sensually-described moment. Emma is a wonderful character. I admired her drive and inner power. She is very captivating and was able to dominate each scene she was in; unless of course, Kahma was present. Kahma is one of those unforgettable characters. I felt drawn to his strong heart, loving manner and (ahem) large attributes that made me weak in the knees. The story itself is a little familiar, as though I have heard it before which made it a little predictable at times. However, this made it very easy for me to visualize all aspects of it. Egyptian Lover: Kahma is an all-around entertaining, highly arousing read with a good mix of danger, love, and extraordinary characters." - 4/5 stars, Morgan Grey, JERR "KAHMA is a rich and well-written tale, full of details and mysteries, fascinating as only Egypt can be. A true hero, Kahma has loved and waited for his soul mate for centuries and will stop at nothing to protect her. Emma is the typical heroine, minus the innocence: she is quite the sensual woman already and proud of it. The plot is well sprung, sparking enough curiosity to want future books of the Egyptian Lover series, as it shows brief but enticing glimpses of other tall, dangerous characters." - Lynn Mullen, Romance Reviews Today "EGYPTIAN LOVER: KAHMA is a fantastic treat. The story line immediately reeled me in. Kahma's character is great. His story gives this book heart and depth. When his curse is revealed and the never-ending guilt and sadness that hangs over him is fully divulged just broke my heart. His pain is palatable and his need and want for his soul mate is gut wrenching. His past sacrifices and continued sacrifice is nothing short of remarkable and makes this book quite emotional and such a tender love story. His pain is well expressed and equally well done is his unconditional love for his soul mate. I enjoyed the paranormal elements, as well as, the basis of this story is tied into the mythology of Set killing his brother Osiris. The intimacy and erotic scenes are exquisite and very hot. This is a wonderful start to what I believe will be an exciting series. Another cursed scorpion warrior makes a brief appearance in this story and gives a wonderful insight to who the next hero may be and he seems to have Kahma-like characteristics. I am quite excited to read more from this new series. " - 4/4, Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews "I loved everything about Egyptian Lover: Kahma! Isabella Jordan spins a tale of mystery and magic amid the wonder that is Egypt. She's created two mesmerizing characters and uses the most clever and unique plot I've seen in a long time to tell their story. This isn't your average time-travel or reincarnation story. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep even the most demanding reader engaged." "I've heard that Egyptian Lover: Kahma is the first in a series and I can only hope that is true. Perhaps the next book will give us the story of one of the other Scorpion Warriors. I'd love to take a return trip to Egypt care of the superb writing of Isabella Jordan." - Madeline, Joyfullyreviewed.com "...a strong plot and great characters. The question of identity in reincarnation is handled very well, and the two love stories mesh together seamlessly. If you love anything Egyptian, and especially if you enjoyed the movie of 'The Mummy', then I recommend you buy this book, and soon!" - 5 Wands, Autiotalo, Enchanted Ramblings "Since THE MUMMY is one of my favorite movies, I expected to enjoy EGYPTIAN LOVER: KAHMA, and I wasn't disappointed. Ms. Jordan creates an intense world, that allows the imagination to soar. Not to mention, the hot, delicious hero, who is dedicated to the heroine for centuries. I thoroughly enjoyed "Kahma" and look forward to reading the next book in the series." - 4 Moons, Marlene Breakfield, Mystique Books "Kahma is the perfect kick off to Isabella Jordan’s Egyptian Lovers series. Isabella Jordan does a wonderful job with Egyptian mythology enhancing her story. Kahma possesses a hopelessness that is stirring. When the full truth of his story is revealed you’d have to be a rock to not want to cry. Emma is plucky and has an innate sexuality that appeals to me. Set in 1926, the historical period of Kahma is a great choice for the story. That was the heyday for Egyptology. Loving Kahma as much as I do, I am eager for the next story in the Egyptian Lovers series." - 4 1/2 Lips, Tara Renee, Two Lips Reviews

Excerpt: "The celebration will go on for hours," Kahma whispered in her ear. Senin didn't hear him come up behind her. She couldn't help smiling as her lover teased the sensitive flesh below her ear with his lips. His hands slid up her body to cup her breasts and he plumped them, making her nipples bead hard and fast. His erection pressed against her lower back, the heated ridge promising hours of pleasure. The passage between her thighs began to ache and weep in anticipation. "It should go on for hours," Senin pointed out. "There is much to celebrate. The king is finally home." Kahma turned her to face him and tilted her face up to the moonlight as they stood on the edge of the festivities. Kahma's black eyes gleamed in the darkness, alight with desire. "I have not been inside you for a day." Kahma's lowered voice was a seductive purr. He was right. Senin wanted him inside her. Suddenly, desperately, she wanted him inside her that very moment. Kahma seemed to understand her need. Taking her by the hand he led her away from the swarm of people and back toward the village. Their pace was so brisk that they were nearly running by the time they reached the small mudbrick home closest to the river. "Who lives here?" Senin asked breathlessly as Kahma pulled her inside the darkness of the small building. "I do not care," Kahma muttered as he closed the door and pulled her against him. Kahma was a Hem netjer, a high priest. He was the most attractive and dangerous man Senin had ever known and she loved him with every fiber of her being. Kahma thrilled her, inspired her. They'd been together for only a short period of time, but Senin couldn't imagine a life without him. Kahma leaned down to press his lips to hers and Senin whimpered in her desire. Crushing her against him, the hot ridge of Kahma's cock pressed urgently against her belly. He became wild, tearing at her robes until she wore nothing but the beaded necklace he'd given her after they'd last made love. Her frenzy matched his as she pushed the black robes off his shoulders and ran her hands over his hard bronzed body. As if she weighed no more than a child, he lifted her in his heavily muscled arms and brought her before the single window of the room. The bright moon hanging in the sky beyond provided the room's only light. "I love to see you bathed in moonlight," Kahma's voice was rough with desire. Senin's heart raced with excitement and her skin heated when he set her on her feet, facing the moon and pulling her back against him with rough hands. His body burned into her back like flames. Kahma's fingers slid down her belly to the bare, slick flesh of her pussy and Senin bucked to his touch the moment his fingers reached her. She just couldn't control her body's longing as the rough pads of his fingers delved into her folds, circling her opening. "Senin, you are so wet for me." Kahma's hot breath in her ear sent a thrill of excitement racing through her body. "Your desire flows like the Nile." Kahma urged her forward slightly, the head of his cock poised at her opening, before thrusting slowly and fully into her. Senin shivered and sighed contentedly as she felt herself stretched to the fullest. Kahma's cock was long and thick, his balls slapping against her with each thrust as he began to move in a delicious rhythm within her. Senin's pussy was filled with Kahma's cock, his penetration deep and stimulating all the secret places inside her that brought ecstasy. Her fingers gripped the gritty opening of the window as the sound of their bodies slapping together filled the room. Drops of sweat gathered and slid down her face and chest as Kahma filled her again and again. A low moan echoed through the room over and over and Senin realized that it was her. The sound was coming from her own lips. "Give up the life of acolyte," Kahma demanded. "You are no longer a virgin servant of the gods. You are mine!" "Yes!" Senin promised before screaming as his thrusts gained in speed and strength. "Say it," Kahma growled. "I am yours! Only yours!"
