Features & Highlights

  • 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.

One of the best reads for me this year!

TBH, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this only because I haven’t liked any of their recently published novels (I fell in love with their Beautiful series and the spice in them) and they’ve all been a let down in that department.

THIS. WAS. SO. GOOD! Mastering the art of storytelling, this treasure hunt had me anxiously trying to solve the clues. I’m a HUGE lover of escape rooms and this really thrilled me as much as if I was in one. Add in the bonus of a tension filled second chance romance made this utter bliss for me. I also felt the loss Lily feels upon realizing Duke truly loved her after all and it had me ensuring I make the time for my loved ones.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND is an understatement for this so just trust me on this!

Okay, if you have not read this book yet . You need to it's got very likeable characters that you're going to root for . It's got Romance , mystery. Adventure. It has quite a bit of LOL moments, you'll catch yourself smiling throughout the book. Plus there's a surprise for us hot cocoa drinkers. It was a very enjoyable fast paced charming story that I didn't want to end. However, I cannot wait to see what Christina Lauren comes up with next ! Highly recommend this one!
