This was exactly what I wanted book 2 to be. It was heartbreaking and beautiful and so well read.

I love these type of stories, where romance is present but not the main thing and the adventure part was thrilling. Kit and Ethan, loved these two together, their banter was cute and chemistry undeniable. Narrator did a good job with all the voices and made this story a very entertaining listen.
The story was more of a great fun adventure with a sprinkling of romance. We’ve got the ex step brothers trope and over protectiveness along with some miss communication. There’s a good amount of adventure with a hero who’s not your typical hero type. He’s never really gone on an expedition even though the rest..
A horrid, poorly written romance novel masquerading as a clumsily plotted thriller. A controlling, unkind, cruel, promiscuous male lead, paired with a ‘damsel in distress’, female lead with no agency, independence, assertiveness or presence. All of this makes for a horrible, Victorian era-esque set-up that’s very off-putting. He abuses her verbally and emotionally, and borderline,..
Much better.
Review from Devil May Care →
The story was good and in the first book of the series, I loved Joel Leslie and really didn’t like the other narrator. I think he’s done his homework though because he was much better in this book. Not on Joel Leslie’s caliber, but few are.
Cute romance
Review from My Darcy →
This was a short and cute romance with some Austen inspiration. We’ve got Freddie and Darcy and Freddie is a tour guide with Darcy as the driver. Freddie has been in love with his best friend Darcy for such a long time but doesn’t think he has a chance. And now he’s trying to move..
Story is fine as far as it goes. Not much character depth, but you don’t always need angst and suffering
This was an extremely enjoyable story – I was taken in by the general dry humor straight away and then completely sucked in once the adventure portion really got going. The world around me pretty much disappeared once Kit’s expedition began. It’s like Indiana Jones, but if Indy were gay, far more socially inept, a..
I went into this totally blind and was super excited to find the former stepbrothers trope, where feelings hide behind misunderstood animosity, and a most adventurous expedition to find a lost city. Glad I went with the narration, because Joel Leslie brought even more life to the story! That said, I am someone who likes..
I really loved Kit and Ethan’s story. This was fun as a book but maybe even better in audio, all the adventure in the story really is perfect for listening. I really adored the two main characters and the narrator is wonderfully engaging in bringing them to life. Kit and Ethan’s story is an epic..
