Ten years ago, Lily and Leo fell in love on her family ranch. But Leo abruptly leaves and Lily is left alone, and brokenhearted. Now Lily is guiding tourists through the wild west based on her famous father's treasure hunts. When Leo arrives at her campsite as a part of a boys trip, Lily is stunned to learn the truth about what happened when he left. The trip turns from a fun bonding exercise to one with real danger and treasure on the line, and Lily and Leo are suddenly on their own in the desert in an attempt to claim what her father left behind.
This was a SURPRISE!! I've loved every Christina Lauren book I've read (which isn't all of them but I'm working my way through) and this had such a different twist than their others and I absolutely loved it.
Of course I loved Lily and Leo - after their first initial reunion their dynamic felt so natural, like they were truly just picking up where they left off ten years earlier. Leo was such a sweetheart - one of my new favorite dandelion boys.
The reunion of Lily and Leo was what hooked me into the book, but the adventure is what made it un-put downable. As outlandish as a treasure hunt through the desert sounds, Christina Lauren made this so completely grounded. With multiple plot twists, I truly had no clue how the book would end and what a fun ride it was.
Thanks to NetGalley & Gallery Books for the advanced e-book, and for Goodreads for the giveaway paperback copy!
