Resumen del Editor

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 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 treasure hunt of a lifetime.

This gripping adventure full of second chances, complicated relationships, and the breathtaking beauty of the American Southwest will take you on one wild ride.

Great adventure

Well done and interesting adventure and romance with some unexpected twists. Historical part of the story is a perfect addition.

Loved E-V-E-R-Y moment!

This book is worth every bit of 5 stars and more! I think this book unlocked a new love for me; adventurous rom-com. The pacing was perfect, great character development, and such a fun Goonies vibe. People are going to be sick of my recommending this book. So well done!

Worth a read

Cute story. Definitely a fun read. Lots of adventure. Likable characters. Love that it took place out West.

Just Ok

I have not read any books by these authors before -some parts were fun - then others were really just filling up time

Loved it

This a minor spice for these authors, but lots and lots of fun. Would recommend!!

Amazing as Always!

Enjoyed this new kind of story from them. It was so enjoyable to hear that my commute to work was quick and I laughed in a way people driving next me may have been concerned but who cares when a book is so good you just can’t help it.

Great book!

Wow great listen! It’s an exciting adventure and keeps you on your toes the entire time!

Extra star for cheese

Where to start. It plodded, with eye roll-inducing cheeseball everything. In fairness, the note at the end brought a tear, so plus one star for that, but otherwise this pure cheese was only finished because book club chose it for love month. Ugh. Also, clearly not a hopeless romantic here, but also surprisingly not a total dried-up grinch. This was just too much of not a good thing.

Not your typical romance but I loved it!

What a pleasant surprise!!! I’m so glad that I gave this book a chance - I do not like light and fluffy romances so the couple of Christina Lauren books I’ve picked up in the past have not worked for me. But this was much more emotional and layered and the characters were mature enough that this gave me much more than light and fluffy. I also loved the adventure treasure hunt elements and friendships included in the story. Would highly recommend to people who don’t love cheesy romances and want something with a little more grit and originality.

Made me smile (need that so badly)

Sweet, funny, thoughtful & unique. Love that these 2 friends are sharing their passions and sharing it with the world. The author notes were a bonus. My only negative is probably, I wish it were a little longer. Wanted to bask in their sweet love story a little bit longer. Thank you for sharing.
