I have really loved the sense of place in the recent Christina Lauren novels I’ve read. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments. And as always, the side characters were just as fleshed out as our MCs. There were some twists I did not see coming which made this read that much more fun. Once the shock of seeing each other again settles a bit, these two are able to hash things out pretty early on and I appreciated that. They do make up for it once they are reunited. While part of it was a lack of communication on their part, I gave them the benefit of the doubt given the situation and their ages. I have been struggling with second chance romances lately, but this one I felt was a little easier to get on board with. This was so much fun! While this has much more action and adventure than a typical Christina Lauren novel it still has all their calling cards: witty humor, lovably flawed characters, and a fantastic ensemble cast.
Alone under the stars in the isolated and dangerous mazes of the Canyonlands, Leo and Lily must decide whether they’ll risk their lives and hearts on the adventure of a lifetime.Published by Gallery Books / May 17, 2022 There’s a chance to right the wrongs-of Duke’s past and their own-but only if Leo and Lily can confront their history and work together. Unfortunately, Lily Wilder is all business, drawing a clear line in the sand: it’s never going to happen.īut when the trip goes horribly and hilariously wrong, the group wonders if maybe the legend of the hidden treasure wasn’t a gimmick after all. Ready to leave the past behind him, Leo wants nothing more than to reconnect with his first and only love. Leo Grady knew mirages were a thing in the desert, but they’d barely left civilization when the silhouette of his greatest regret comes into focus in the flickering light of the campfire. Frankly, Lily would like to take him out into the wilderness-and leave him there. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails.
But Lily is nothing if not resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah. Growing up the daughter of notorious treasure hunter and absentee father Duke Wilder left Lily without much patience for the profession… or much money in the bank.
