"Adventure awaits."
Emily Edwards is not adventurous or outdoorsy, but she's made a promise to scatter her dad's ashes on Isle Royale, a remote National Park in Michigan that her dad always wanted to visit. So she hires Ryder Fleet to be her guide. Only it was Ryder's older brother, Caleb, who was the outdoorsy one, not him. He doesn't even know how to use a compass. But he needs the money, so he agrees to be Emily's guide. What happens to them on this remote island is some crazy kind of fun that includes getting lost in the woods, a bear spray incident, a pirate shipwreck, some bad guys, and a legendary lost diamond. I thought The Jewel of the Isle by Kerry Rea was laugh-out-loud funny. I loved how Emily and Ryder are total opposites yet connected because of their grief over lost loved ones; I also loved how they found a way to let go of past regrets and move forward with laughter and love together. This book made me smile all the way through. And for that: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy Reading!

DeleteMy husband accidentally bear sprayed out bedroom one night. He dropped a canister and it hit just right and clicked on. Less that a second and it was AWFUL. This book sounds cute though and one I might check out.
ReplyDeleteBear spray in your bedroom! How long did it take to air that out? At least you got a funny story out of it. :D
