"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, Roundtable Reviews

"Entertaining, well-written, and filled with details of life in ancient times. Hattie is a delightful heroine, warm-hearted and caring, and you really want her to be successful.

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 that has something special to offer fans of historical romance as well as time-travel romance readers.

"3 1/2 Hearts!...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?"—Renee L'Amour, The Romance Studio

"...A pleasurable quantum leap...With Lady Of The Two Lands, Elizabeth Delisi has gone back in time and brought back something that is definitely right...A remarkable tale of an ancient culture which has fascinated people for centuries. Hatshepsut is one of the greatest figures of Egyptian history, and the relationship she shared with Senemut has often been a topic of discussion for historians. Today, the whereabouts of Hatshepsut's and Senemut's bodies are still unknown. And for a history buff like myself, that is one of the factors that makes this story so intriguing. Too often writers of little skill strive to depict another period in history and fall into description quicksand. These writers spend so much time and use overly excessive wording in an endeavor to place the reader in a particular place and era, and in the end, they neglect the story itself. Elizabeth Delisi is not one of those writers. With detailed yet efficient accuracy, she vividly invigorates the past by adding to it a charming, feisty heroine of the present and a strong, charismatic hero from days gone by...does anyone ever want to see a good book end?"—Natasha, A Romance Review

"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."—Rachel A. Hyde, MyShelf.com

"5 Roses!...An interesting tale that brings readers back through time...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, 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!"—Rose Chastain, Love Romances

"4 Daggers!...You feel you are entering an old 'mummy' movie and you think you have been here and done this. But it doesn't take long until you are entwined in a story that certainly isn't another 'mummy' spoof. Ancient Egypt comes alive as the characters bloom within the setting. Well-researched and well-written, definitely enjoyable and well worth your time."—Barb Wright, All About Murder Reviews

"4 Daggers!...The book lives up to its premise. It's got everything—time travel, suspense, romance. Hattie is a real twenty-first century heroine stuck in this ancient land and the reader is with her all the way. Delisi sure did her research, too. All the little details that make Egyptian life so real are there and they are fascinating. This book is sure to appeal to readers of a variety of genres."—Christine Duncan, All About Murder Reviews

"...A fun time-travel filled with intrigue, ancient culture, and a good amount of romance. Hattie makes the best of her situation, and Senemut is one of the best parts of being stuck in ancient Egypt.

Characters and places come alive and remain with the reader long after the book is set aside. Ms. Delisi creates a beautiful time-travel, weaving together the past and present, even including a believable travel method. Every moment of Lady Of The Two Lands was remarkable; I didn't want to put it down. For me there is no other way to honor Lady Of The Two Lands and its talented author than by placing it on the keeper shelf, where it rightfully belongs."—Sharyn McGinty, In The Library Reviews

"Ms. Delisi writes an absolutely intriguing, enthralling, fast-paced read that will appeal to readers of all genres. Her characters are incredibly in-depth, the storyline is unique, and dialogue sings. Add to that a heartwarming and tender love story, and this is a book that you simply can't put down...I highly recommend Lady Of The Two Lands as a wonderful read, and a definite keeper!"—CSArpin, Amazon.com reviewer

"4 Hearts!...A touching and fast-paced romance novel...Ms Delisi brings to life an ancient land and although the time travel part of the story is fiction, many of the people did exist and many of the events did take place as described through modern Hattie's eyes...I did not want to leave behind the lives of Hattie and Senemut. A MUST read—one of the best of the genre."—Louisa Brown, Magical Romance

...Hattie banged on the door. "Is anyone there? Let me out!" She shouted and beat on the door with her palms, but all was ominously silent. If someone had been watching her, they had no intention of helping her out of her dilemma.

At last, resigned to her fate, she returned to her sketchpad. "If I'm going to be stuck in here, I might as well finish my work," she murmured. "Tom's bound to come back—I'm sure he will." Her voice echoed unconvincingly in the dusty, claustrophobic room.

Picking up her pencil, she focused deliberately on copying the tiny hieroglyphics with extreme precision. Gradually, she became absorbed in her work and forgot her predicament. Minutes flowed by with the only sound in the room the scratching of her pencil on the paper.

At last, she completed the final symbol on her detailed drawing and set down her pencil with a twinge of disappointment. She was curiously drawn to the glittering possession of the ancient, yet strangely modern woman. Hatshepsut had ruled Egypt fifteen hundred years before Christ, at a time when women were considered no more important than servants or dogs. How had she managed it?

The vagrant breeze whispered past her face again, leaving a whiff of exquisite perfume in its wake. A rustle, like the caress of costly linen against bare skin, drew her attention. She felt a strong presence, though she knew she was alone in the tiny room.

"Touch it."

The words were so faint, Hattie wasn't sure she'd actually heard them.

"Who's there?" she asked, though she didn't expect to get a response. The room was too small to hide anyone.

"Touch the necklace."

Hattie spun around, searching for the source of the barely audible words. "Tom, is that you? If it's you, I don't think this is funny! Open the door right now." She thumped it with her fist for emphasis.

There was no response.

Hattie turned back to the exquisitely fashioned falcon. Maybe it was her overworked imagination playing a trick on her, but the advice seemed sound. Perhaps if she touched the necklace, she could make a connection—psychic, empathic?—with the long-dead monarch. The necklace was strangely compelling, like a long forgotten yet treasured memory.

She reached out slowly, cautiously. As her fingertips gently grazed the golden bird, an electric shock pulsed through her and a sudden wave of dizziness sapped her strength.

"Come to me," the ghostly voice whispered, stronger now. "Come to me. I have need of you."
