Digging Dr Jones by Olivia Jackson (May 2, 2025). When I first laid eyes on this book, I 100% thought to myself, “I don’t care what this book is about, I’m in love with the cover and reading it” – and WOW, am I glad I did. What a perfect summer read with equal parts adventure and romance.
While on vacation, Adriana Jones receives a stunning and surprising anonymous gift – a beautiful gold and gem bracelet. So, of course, she immediately puts it on. Unfortunately, she quickly learns two things: First, the package was actually meant for another Jones staying at the resort – renowned archaeologist Dr. Andrew Jones. Second, it absolutely will not come off her wrist. These facts are compoundingly problematic as Dr. Jones needs the bracelet to find a treasure in the Colombian jungle, and the clock is ticking. Which is how Adriana finds herself on an Indiana Jones-style adventure with a real-life professor and treasure hunter who happens to be the best-looking man she has ever seen. Things are about to get very interesting.
What. A. Treat. I just flew through this book! It is truly a spicy Indiana Jones romance with hidden codes, mysterious ancient structures in the jungle, rivals on their tail, and this palpable electric attraction between Adriana and Andrew. Add to that their fantastic relationships with their siblings, the way they slowly open up to each other, and the adrenaline of their whole situation, and I was just hooked. Jackson has her second book, Hunter’s Treasure, coming in February, and I’m going to be first in line!
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: This was my first book narrated by Amelia March, and she did a fantastic job with American and British accents in this story. I’m looking forward to listening to more from her! (12h 11m)Book: 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
