Archaeologist Dr. Miri Jacobs is finally going on an expedition—a big one—to find the Lost City of the Moon in the Brazilian rainforest. Unfortunately, the journey has been plagued with bad luck. First, its experienced leaders had to drop out, then another leader was too injured to continue, and now Miri is in charge by default. She feels out of her depth, and the team morale is quickly declining. Rafa Monfils is the only non-archaeologist on the team. He’s been sent to document the search for his magazine, supposedly. In reality, his father has tasked Rafa with keeping the city from ever being found—a promise made to Rafa’s Brazilian mother before her death. That means deceiving Miri and convincing everyone that their expedition is doomed to fail. He didn’t count on Miri’s stubbornness, though. No matter what tricks he plays, Miri powers through. Worse, he’s feeling guilty for interfering, and he might be falling for her. VERDICT This fun, well-written adventure romance from Segura (Raiders of the Lost Heart) is unputdownable. Perfect for readers who enjoy a slow burn, witty banter, and plot twists and turns.
