I kid not, the next day an advanced copy of Christina Lauren’s newest book showed up at my door. And thought: I want to read more books like this. I watched the latest Sandra Bullock movie, The Lost City and howled with laughter and happiness through it. 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. 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. This may be my favourite Christina Lauren book ever. īut, he noticed, she seemed to have no reaction to him whatsoever.”Ĭhristina Lauren has written a standout adventure romance filled with heat and drama. Wave after wave of realization left Leo wondering if he would ever get over the fact that it was Lily. He remembered the way it felt when those fingers danced across his bare skin. Her habit of tapping her fingers restlessly when she was lost in thought. He remembered how gentle they were when she stroked the head of her favorite gelding, how steady when handling a spooked horse.

“Lily had beautiful hands long fingers–almost delicate.
