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.
