I adored this adventurous romance, that somewhat reminded me of a favorite movie from my 80s childhood, Romancing the Stone! While the one right before this didn’t work for me, I definitely was glad I’d read a bit of it, as one of the characters in this, Winter, was best friends with the character from that book. So when we got her background and had her talking with those characters it clicked. I loved that Winter was able to hold her own and show Logan that she wasn’t some “bombshell” unable to hang with the boys in the jungle like he assumed from his first look at her. The characters in their expedition group were fun or at least fit the roles they filled perfectly.

Personally, the whole thing with the bugs and snakes, no thanks. And having to wear clothes that completely covered all your skin to stay safe from them, in the jungle heat? Yeah, I could not do that at all! But finding the lost city was exciting and so perfect. There were a few things that happened that totally matched up to what you might see in an Indiana Jones movie or similar types of movies.

The way the two characters both figured things out in the end was realistic, even if I do think that Winter’s reaction to his asking for her phone number was a bit out there, I think she would have realized what he was doing. But maybe not after all the craziness they’d just survived. And the way they reunited in the end was perfect for me, and I like how they got their HEA and handled their long distance relationship as it progressed.

I have read the first book in this series, and the one that comes right after this one, and enjoyed both, so I hope to read the rest when I have time!
