“He’d loved Lily so deeply that it changed his biology. Standing here now, it seemed his love for her hadn’t gone away, it had just been vacuum-sealed and stored. Back in her presence, the physical memory of his infatuation was released in a deluge, gasping to life, and adrenaline flooded his bloodstream.”

Finding a way to pay her bills but also continue carrying on the legacy of treasure hunting, Lily is looking forward to this new found journey. If only, Leo Grady didn’t show up with his new band of friends, things would be perfect and now she has to deal with the man she once loved, the man who broke her heart and if she had her way she’d take him out to the desert and leave him there. But, as fate has other plans for Lily and Leo.

While I didn’t character for the romance, I loved the other parts of the book especially the characters, Lily and Leo. I honestly would’ve preferred Lily on her own because there was something about Leo that felt off and I did find her very relatable. The romance takes a back seat in this novel and it;’s more of an adventure which I liked, the author is known for romance in her books and she’s very good at it. The pacing and writing helped moved the story along and I was into the adventure more than the romance so it all worked out! This has adventure, love, hope, danger, and romance so if you think this is up your alley then I would give it a try!
