The "reigning romance queens" (PopSugar) and New York Times bestselling authors of The Soulmate Equation and The Unhoneymooners present a charming and laugh-out-loud funny novel filled with adventure, treasure, and, of course, love.
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. 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. 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. Frankly, Lily would like to take him out into the wilderness—and leave him there.
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. Ready to leave the past behind him, Leo wants nothing more than to reconnect with his first and only love. Unfortunately, Lily Wilder is all business, drawing a clear line in the sand: it's never going to happen.
But 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. 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. 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.
From the author of the "heartfelt and funny" (Publishers Weekly) sensation The Unhoneymooners, this page-turning adventure full of second chances, complicated relationships, and the breathtaking beauty of the American Southwest will take fans on one wild ride.
My Review:
Man, this was another great romance from Christina Lauren! I loved these two, and their history, and the adventures that they go on in this book! It was such a great read! Lily and Leo were really great to read about!
This is another Christina Lauren story where the leads knew each other previously, in this case, had a romantic relationship, but he had to go home, and he ghosted her. So there's some bad feelings there. I loved watching events unfold, with them in this isolated setting, of course things would come up!
The whole bit about the treasure, and the map that her father left behind for her, I loved watching them decipher all the clues. There were some really intense moments, with some bad guys on their trail, and I just couldn't put it down!
A good chunk of this book is about the relationship that Lily had with her dad. Things were complicated, because family, of course, that she wanted to have roots, and he wanted to explore. That he left her the treasure map, it left her in a weird spot. I really enjoyed the place that Lily came to, with her feelings towards her dad.
I had a blast reading this book, and I can't wait for the next!
