Leo is the best Christina Lauren book boyfriend to date and this is my favorite of their books so far. The adventure was good, still with the miscommunication trope but I didn’t mind it this time around. The adventure and imagery set this book apart from the others. Some of the codes and math went over my head but this was a fun, exciting and beautiful read.

Love love love. I lucked out and found this book shortly before a trip to Moab and started reading it the day after my first time setting foot in Canyonlands. So. Ideal. But more than that, reading this reminded me that adventures set in the Southwest’s red rocks were some of my favorite books growing up. This adventure romance felt like something I’ve been reading forever in the best way. I think this book would be a super enjoyable read regardless of how well it fits me as a reader (fresh, developed characters, natural writing, tight but accessible mystery, etc.), but for me it will also always be perfectly matched to this vacation moment and my long love of desert sandstone.

This was a very fun read - great mix of romance and adventure, in a fast, entertaining bundle. I really appreciated that the past miscommunication was dealt with quickly, rather than letting it take center stage.
