This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Two very indoor people rough it on a remote island after getting swept up in an archaeologist’s hunt for a famed jewel in this dazzling new adventure rom-com by Kerry Rea, author of Lucy on the Wild Side.
If Emily Edwards knows one thing, it’s that you don’t go to a remote island by yourself. Ever the type A personality, Emily doesn’t want to hike around an unfamiliar island, but she’s determined to fulfill her late father’s national park bucket list, starting with Isle Royale National Park—home to wolves, bears, and hundred-year-old shipwrecks. She has no choice but to hire a tour guide, and there is only one that isn’t booked solid.
Ryder Fleet, co-owner of Fleet Outdoor Adventures, wouldn’t call himself a wilderness expert, and he definitely doesn’t know how to find true north. But when his dormant adventure guide business suddenly finds life again after a random inquiry, Ryder somehow finds himself on a ferry to Isle Royale with a very beautiful, no-nonsense woman. What this woman doesn’t know is that his brother Caleb, who died two years ago, was the outdoorsman of their business, while Ryder just did the marketing. But how hard could it be to hike up a few mountains?
Pretty difficult, actually, when murder is involved. Emily’s perfectly planned trek turns disastrous when she and Ryder witness a brutal crime and are suddenly forced to evade a group of archaeologists on the hunt for a jewel. As they spend nights together too close for comfort, they realize their shoddily built fire isn’t the only thing that’s kindling, and that they must trust each other if they want to escape the island with their lives—and hearts—intact.

Why I’m Waiting: This is the most outlandish book synopsis I’ve actually read in a long time. So, naturally……………….. I NEED IT. And listen, this cover is EVERYTHING and I need this like now. I am nervous about the book tho. I gave the author’s debut 5 stars and her second book I gave 3 stars. I think my expectations were too high. So I know going in to this one I should try to find a common ground! I can’t be disappointed by this with a cover looking like this! I’d be so hurt lol
What about you? Do you love this synopsis and cover too? Let me know in the comments!
Cute pick! That cover is pretty awesome! Reminds me of movie posters like Romancing the Stone! Lol. Hope you enjoy this one despite the ups and downs with the author’s previous work! Hopefully this one will be another “up” to follow the pattern! Fingers crossed!
Here’s my CWW
Have a GREAT day!
