3.5 out of 5 starsOverall I thought this was a really great book. The main characters had a strong chemistry and there is adventure entwined in the story as well as romance.I liked Maren and Thad a lot. I really enjoy learning about their past together and how the story unfolded and them coming together again. They share a history, have a pull towards one another, and their attraction is obvious. They're still drawn to one another after all this time - I could really get a sense of longing from both of them. There was a slow build in the heat department and then bam! major hotness!I enjoyed the treasure hunt aspect of the story that they were on, it reminded me of Indiana Jones in a way and that extra element of danger and intrigue made for a really exciting story. I think I might have enjoyed that a bit more than the romance part. I thought the other characters were well developed and I was left with no lingering questions.The ending was fantastic! It made the book for me. All the drama and then how everything played out - perfect. It was a great movie type ending, I could totally picture it.I will say that I really enjoyed it but I never felt fully connected. I did think there were parts that were a little drawn out. It had all the key elements that make for a great story, I just never had that couldn't put it down feeling. There was chemistry, attraction, and major intrigue throughout and I thought it was a solid book, definitely worth the read.This book can be read as a stand alone book.I was gifted a copy to review for the About That Story blog.
