Uncharted is the companion novella to Tracey Garvis-Graves full length novel, On The Island. While I wasn't completely captivated by Uncharted like I certainly was with OTI, I still found it a good quick read. The romance lover in me missed out on all the things that I loved about the budding relationship between TJ and Anna in the first book... there was minimal detail about the quick romance between Owen and Calia in this story. I realize that a heart stoppingng romance wasn't the goal of the author in this novella, and while there is, obviously, a love story beneath it all, it wasn't the point. The point was to fill in all those blanks we were left with after OTI, and that goal is definitely achieved in Uncharted. The story of how Owen Sparks' time on the island effected TJ and Anna's life on the island is remarkable. While Owen's life on the island was completely his choice, he had free reign to leave the island whenever he desired and he could restock on any needed supplies at any given time. Of course TJ and Anna were completely stuck on this island for years after that plane crash, no one knowing they were there, their time on the island may have gone completely different had Owen not been there first.It was a really well written puzzle, this book... leaving no stone unturned. While I missed the heated romance aspect of it, I respect the author for not giving me what I want, but instead deliberately making this story it's own. It definitely makes me want to go back and read On The Island again, one of my favorite books of all time.Without any doubt, if you loved On the Island, I'm sure you can't wait to get your hands on this story. It's a satisfying end to an incredible story
