"Just because thoughts are loud or constant doesn't mean they're right."
I've been meaning to read Something Wilder ever since it was published last year, but somehow it had slipped between the cracks of my TBR mountain until now. I tend to enjoy the books this author duo writes, and I've been looking forward to this story with its promise of a treasure hunt and adventure... And I couldn't have picked it up at a better time! This turned out to be the perfect story to read during our vacation, and this might just be one of my favorite Christina Lauren stories to date. I absolutely loved the setting and the descriptions really made it come alive for me. The focus on horses, nature and the treasure hunt is without doubt the highlight of the story for me, and I loved the puzzles and hunt for clues. The second-chance romance was sweet, and I enjoyed getting to know Leo and Lily better... There was some steam involved, but as a whole Something Wilder turned out to be surprisingly light on the romance and the spotlight was on the treasure hunt. Danger lurks around every corner, and it makes you want to keep turning page after page to discover if they will find the treasure and make it out alive. I would have definitely read it in one setting if I wouldn't have been on vacation! All in all Something Wilder turned out to be highly engaging, suspenseful and packed with adventure, and without doubt worth the ride.Ā

Donāt get me wrongāthis is miles from CLoās usual romcom. This is like Indiana Jones meets The Goonies, interlaced with their signature flirty banter and heartwarming compassion. It is definitely not your typical romcom. But personally, I loved the genres blurring together.
As a SUPER FAN of Indiana Jones, I ate the adventure of this story entirely up. The Utah terrain setting (um hello The Last Crusade), the promise of long lost treasure, the dangers of the journey. A trip gone terriblyā¦ wild. God, this novel was SO much fun to read!! I loved the characters and the ins and outs of their relationships with each other, and I didnāt even mind how convenient Lily and Leoās love story pieced together. I always melt for a second-chance romance, forced proximity, one bed, a decade of longing, the whole shebang. Throw in some crazy high stakes and Iām beyond sold.
I wish a few of the characters had been there for more than just very specific plot points, but otherwise? LOVED. THIS. BOOK.
