An overworked undercover agent desperately in need of rest, Chrysalyn Geyer couldn’t have been more miffed with her boss. What was she supposed to do on a mandatory three month vacation? Stuck on a private residence cruise ship, she tried to prepare herself for what was sure to be pure boredom. Then he appeared—Rahn Benson. What the hell was he doing here? And while her spirit guide was happy to see the man, Chrys couldn’t see past knocking him senseless for breaking her heart.

Rahn is determined to do anything to win Chrys back. But first he must protect her from the unseen threat quietly stalking her from port to port. Rahn was damned good at job, but could he “work” his way past Chrys’ stubbornness to occupy a place in her heart, rather than just her bed?

But what of the refined looking gentleman determined to catch her eye?


Reviews

4/5 Stars, Heat level:Hot @ from JERR, Mahaira
Chrysalyn is a delightful kick-ass, take charge woman of color. While her strength and attitude make you love her, you can’t help but fall for Rahn’s irresistible charm. All senses are heightened as they near each other, eager to give and take pleasure. As they share a history, their joining seems inevitable and much-needed. Their rapid-fire banter is as stimulating as the heady sex they indulge in. There is just the right amount of indulgence in this tale perfectly in sync with the lead characters’ emotions. The plot deftly brings in a killer with a deadly obsession, while you are highly charged and ready for the intrusion.

4.5 Stars, Sensuality Rating:Sultry @ Ecataromance Sensual, Elise Lyn
Using heat, danger and tension, Egyptian Voyage will keep you glued to that edge of your seat as you go along for the ride. TJ Michaels has written a story that will fascinate, horrify and ultimately delight the reader.

4.5 Blue Ribbon Rating @ Romance Junkies, Angel
Chrys is strong and independent, used to making her own rules. Her spunky attitude makes her even more likable. Rahn has a sensuality that can’t be denied. This is a man used to dealing with danger on a regular basis. The passion between Chrys and Rahn will leave you squirming in your seat. Terror is brought into the mix with the mystery man that is after Chrys. Animated characters and a fervent plot make this story one that won’t be soon forgotten.

4.5 Stars, Heat Level: H @ JoyfullyReviewed.com, Nellie
Egyptian Voyage was a well written story with some surprises. I loved the almost death experience and the culmination that finally led to the killer finally getting caught. The only wrinkle for me was understanding and visualizing the spirit guides with their powers and the harem of porcelain artifacts that was leading the main characters into their different paths.


Excerpt

Note for Readers: You must be over eighteen to read this excerpt.

Chrysalyn was strong, compact and hippy, just the way he liked his women. Small package. Whole lot of beautiful female.

“Time to lose the swimsuit, Chrys,” he groaned around a succulent mouthful of her lovely areolas. Her stupefied “what” made him chuckle. He repeated his request, each word said with a little pluck to her nipples. She appeared ready to swoon.

“Chrysalyn, do you want me to stop,” he growled, backing off just enough to allow a cool stream of air to pass between their bodies. “Do you want me to stop, sweet?”

“Oh god, no!”

“Then. Remove. The. Suit.”

With trembling fingers, she reached up and with a flick of her wrist undid the string secured around her neck. The top of her halter style bikini fell free, revealing the tasty treats Rahn had been suckling through the fabric. And they were beautiful. Her breasts were full and firm, the color of caramel cappuccino with Hershey’s kisses nipples. Damn. With his chest wedged between her knees, he couldn’t resist feasting a while longer and pulled the entire crown into his mouth while his fingers ducked into the warm flesh between her thighs.

There he found so much honeydew pleasure, he wanted to drown in her. The sounds echoing from her throat as he explored with lips, tongue and questing fingers were seductively sexy. But he wanted to push her over the edge, kick her ecstasy up a notch until she screamed to the heavens from now until the end of time.

Finger slick with cream, he raised them up to her parted lips and pressed them inside.

“Taste yourself, love.” Her tongue snaked out and wrapped around his finger, pulling and sucking until he felt the sensation clear down to his swollen balls. “God, woman, your scent is so sweet I can’t wait another minute to sink my tongue into that pretty pussy.”

She nodded dumbly, but didn’t move, just sat there on the edge of the bubbling Jacuzzi, trembling as her chest heaved up and down. He would just have to be patient, because if he dared put his hands to her swimsuit bottom, it would be a shredded piece of no-good fabric when he was done yanking it off of her succulent body. A succulent body with too many clothes on it!

Clenching his hands, he ground out, “Chrysalyn. The bottoms, sweet.”

“Uh, yes. Okay.” The words were breathy, lost. Hungry. And all for him.

She stood on the submerged seat and peeled the wet bottoms over the curve of her ass, down her lovely legs and dropped them on top of her sodden top on the deck. Settled again on the tub’s edge, she spread her legs and flashed a siren’s smile. The smoldering heat in her light brown eyes said come fuck me now. The engorged lips of her succulent pussy, spread wide for him to see, screamed even louder. But no cock for her. Not yet.

He called quietly to his spirit guide one last time before he gorged himself on Chrysalyn’s dewy folds.

‘Mahpiya, lend me your senses.’

The reply was so faint, he almost missed it.

*Take what I offer, my charge, and enjoy your mate.*

And then she faded away completely, leaving him and Chrysalyn truly alone. Closing his eyes, he allowed the power and aura of the lioness to fill him until the very essence of his spirit guide whistled through every pore in his body. Then he lowered himself down into the water until only his chest was visible. The aroma of her sex, heightened by the lioness’s keen senses, smelled of clean, fresh woman. And something else he couldn’t quite pin down, like honey syrup and cardamom spice.

He kept his gaze pinned to hers as he pushed her thighs as far apart as they would go. The woman was practically doing the splits on the edge of that tub and he would take full advantage of it.

One swipe of his tongue up her dewy slit caused a strangled cry to erupt from between her lips.

“Oh dear god!”

A second pass brought on a shudder so intense, he thought she might keel over into the hot tub.

“Rahn, oh yesss.”

A third sent her spiraling toward release. When the two of them had spent time together years ago, she’d never given him complete access to her body like this, saying she wanted to wait until the time was right. He’d been frustrated then, but now he was glad. This did feel, for lack of better words, right. Not forced or awkward. As if the pieces of their lives snapped together with perfect precision. The response to his touch was something he’d never dreamed of. It was as if he’d unwrapped a beautiful present, uncovered a rare jewel. And if her wild cries were any indication, the idiot she’d been engaged to had never gifted her with this kind of loving. Pride filled his chest as his lips and tongue continued to work her over.

“Oh, god. Rahn, no more. I can’t take it,” she screamed.

Mmm, what beautiful music. The cries torn from her throat as her orgasm peaked and consumed her filled his head as she exploded. The climax was forceful enough to set her slick channel clenching around the tip of his tongue and her legs trembling even while her knees wrapped tight around his head and her fingers gripped the edge of the tub.

Head thrown back, spine bowed, she gave herself up to his attention until she was a trembling mass of pliable flesh. Finally, Chrys collapsed backward onto the warm deck.

When her breathing returned to normal, she sat up and looked at him. What was that? Confusion? Fear? He couldn’t tell.

The next instant, she snatched her wet swimsuit up off the deck and headed through the glass doors that led to her bedroom. The definitive snap and click told him she’d locked it behind her.

What the hell? Just as he started to go after her, Mahpiya’s powerful presence charged back into the familiar place in his head.

*Hoksila, leave her be for now.*

Fuck. ‘No worries, Mah. I can tell she needs a minute alone and so do I.’

His mate. Wow, he’d never expected such a thing. With that, Rahn climbed out of the tub and went back to his room. He flopped backward onto the bed, wrapped his fingers around his aching erection and closed his eyes. What would Chrysalyn’s hot cunt feel like wrapped around him? Would she grip him tight? Would she yell like she’d done a few moments ago?

With his mind full of fantasy and his cock as hard as iron, he pulled and stroked himself until his balls drew up tight against his body. His come geysered onto his chest. The eruption provided scant relief, knowing he wouldn’t be fully satisfied until he’d sunk into Chrysalyn’s sweetness, binding her to him completely.

But why hadn’t he realized this years ago? Mahpiya chimed in.

*Because you were not ready to receive such a gift, hoksila. Certain events in your life have brought you to a place where you can appreciate her. Rest assured, Chrysalyn is the one.*

‘Thank you, Mah. Thanks for looking out for me.’

*My pleasure and my duty,* she whispered, retreating to her favorite corner with a yawn.

After a cat nap, Rahn rose, showered again and headed to Chrysalyn’s room. He was determined to win her, heart and soul. May as well start now.

It was still early enough, couldn’t be much past ten a.m. Perhaps she would have breakfast with him?

“Chrys,” he called quietly, tapping on her door.

No answer. Maybe she was napping as well?

“Chrys, love?”

Easing the door open, he was hit square in the chest by her scent, followed keenly by a disappointment so palpable he could have torn it in two and thrown it overboard. The room was empty. Chrys was gone.
