pickI enjoyed this as a kind of quick first finish of the year. I did do it as an audiobook, not sure i would have enjoyed it in another format.

bailedI was hoping this would be as fun and charming as the cover, but by 12% in, I couldn't take anymore. I don't need the writer to continually tell me they are "rivals" in the rivals-to-lovers trope. I got it after the 1st few pages. Soooo much telling instead of showing, especially the sexual tension. It loses something when you beat the reader over the head with it. I get it...they want to jump each other. Moving on to something better to end 2024.
bailedBailed at about the 65% point; will come back to it later.
Okay. I‘m out. I wanted to like this so much but I just can‘t. So many things I hate from, I‘m going to walk in the jungle at night by myself, to I don‘t want to have this reputation but I‘m going to conduct myself in a way that perpetuates this reputation in front of people I barely know. 🙄 And what kind of person brings a vibrator, and fancy underwear (in case there‘s a night out) to an archeological dig but no batteries or condoms? Ugh.
so-soI really wanted to love this book. Unfortunately, I never connected with the characters and I felt some of the scenes were awkward. On a positive note, I liked the plot. It just needed something more.. maybe a bit more polish. 3 ⭐️

pickA fun adventure, enemies to lovers romcom. I liked the whole Lara Croft/Indiana Jones/Goonies vibe. I also liked that the characters were older than 20. Yes, it wrapped up a little too quickly (the big drama all happens in the last 3-4 chapters), & like many romcoms, wraps up a bit too neatly (not only a HEA, but “fortune & glory”). But it‘s still a fun read. I also really liked the authors note on how this story came about.

so-so3✨ really like how books alternate chapters with POVs in a Rom Com. This was a fun one of Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft. I enjoyed the hate to love start, and the guy was more the damsel by the end. It was pretty spicy, and funny. Overall, I enjoyed this adventure and the characters.
