Synopsis from Amazon
After a bruising book rejection, tenure-track history professor Jessica Wilson is scrambling for something new to publish to secure her spot at the top of the academic food chain. While researching in the archives, she discovers a coded message written by one of the founding fathers with the power to change her—and the world’s—understanding of American history forever. But first, she’s got to prove it’s real.
Desperate for answers, Jess searches out Calloway Morgan, a Harvard PhD student turned adjunct professor. Cal was forced to leave graduate school after presenting theories about a shadowy revolutionary organization. Jess heard his conference presentation and thought his findings were absurd, but now, she believes he was onto something.
With their fates intertwined by their discoveries, the two begin to work together, but danger lurks around every corner. The clandestine fraternity that they’ve uncovered still exists and is ready to kill. With it hot on their heels, the embers of Jess and Cal’s attraction grow. But unless they can make their findings public in this “perfect blend of chemistry, spice, and a historical mystery” (Adriana Anders, author of Whiteout), they’ll soon become the conspiracy’s latest victims…
My Review of You, Me, and the Conspiracy
First off, thank you to NetGalley, Emma Barry, and Atria Books for an advanced reading copy of You, Me, and the Conspiracy. I loved the action-packed adventure with some steamy moments.
When I was offered the opportunity to read this book and it was pitched as a mix of National Treasure and The Mummy I was intrigued. You, Me, and the Conspiracy fits the bill. It’s action-packed, puzzles, twists and turns, rewriting history, and a little bit of romance. I loved all the conspiracy theories vibes and the secret society pulling the strings.
My favorite parts were when Jess and Cal are hiding in a prepper’s RV. The forced proximity and the suspense of this book had me hooked. Plus, I loved going back and forth between Jess and Cal’s point of view. Both of them trying to deny their feeling for each other was pretty funny. I’m pretty sure I was screaming at them to just kiss already!
This book is great for anyone who loved National Treasure and The Mummy, anyone who loves historical facts, or if you love books with action and some steamy romance moments. It’s an easy and fun read.
