Some interesting turns and pretty decent character development. I enjoyed the main character in particular how smart she was.

Action, adventure AND a sexy romance?!?! THANK YOU, CHRISTINA LAUREN. This book reads so fast, and it's so addictive!! When it got to the last few chapters it started being twist after twist I was ENTHRALLED! Oh, and lastly: Nic and Walter. I love them both. My fearless amazon and my sweet potato roll.

The perfect summer read. I loved it and I loved the characters Lily and Leo. It has romance, a little suspense and the Wild West. This book was a fun read that continuously put a smile on my face.

I am unsure what this book was. I love romances written by Christina Lauren but this was not it. It couldn't really decide whether to be a mystery, romance, thriller? It was all over the place. From what happened with Terry to a treasure hunt, it needed a focus. Christina Lauren does a great job with the traditional rom-com and they need to stick to that.

I tried to get into this book and just couldn’t. I didn’t care about the characters and felt like it was a book written to start a series vs. being a good book in itself.

I read a blurb somewhere that this was an Indiana Jones like book. I like Indy. This was not that. This was something different, but it was good. There is a treasure hunt that is wild, but not crazy. There is a romance that is very wild and very crazy. I really enjoyed this story and loved the clues that were found along the way. For fans of the wild west and a little lost love...

Something Wilder is a second chance romance, an adventure guide company, and a fake treasure hunt all rolled into one.

Think Hallmark meets a western adventure movie. Very different from their norm and it sadly wasn't for me.

I would recommend many other Christina Lauren books over this one.

I love Christina Lauren books and this one did not disappoint. To be honest, I thought that it was going to be a cheesy rom com book, but the way that the story played out, I was pleasantly surprised! Can’t wait to read more of her books in the future!

This book was unlike any CLo book I’ve read before but I really liked it and it totally kept my attention the whole time. It was cute, fun, and adventurous! Oh and there’s a treasure hunt!

This book didn't fell or sound like a Christina Lauren book.

In the end the book was unremarkable and a story that was forgotten a week later.

I was missing the signature romance from this author couple! Their rom-coms were known to sizzle with romance and sexual attraction. Now it's just sexual attraction minus the romance. Not what I was hoping for.

The book ended up being one of the biggest disappointments by this author couple. But nevertheless I'm always looking forward to their next books.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review. I am a fan of CLo -- I think this book in particular I didn't quite vibe with because I don't love western plots/characters so I wasn't able to really get into it. I am really looking forward to the next one!

While I will still read every single book that Christina Lauren put out, this one felt different. Not the usually swoony romance with sizzling banter and witty characters. It's not that I didn't like it, but I didn't LOVE it either.

This book was plain fun. I read this in one sitting and enjoyed the puzzlesque plot. One of my favorite movies is The Goonies so I love the treasure hunting aspect.

You know that feeling when you pick up a book with zero expectations and end up loving every bit with no faults? Yeah, this was exactly that for me.

Listening to it kept me on my toes, had me cheesing hard & laughing like crazy while frantically pressing the rewind button.

Ten years later, young lovers Lily & Leo meet again and are unexpectedly led back to where it all began through her late father’s self-made treasure hunt.

It comes off predictable. Together again. Alone in the wilderness. One sleeping bag to share. “I never stopped loving you” declarations. Which was all beautifully included, but perfectly seasoned with elements of: betrayal, shock, multiple gun points, and freak accidents.

Baffled was my constant emotion. And I ate up every piece of it. There was a sense of ease in the romance and communication. Leo has officially made one of my top book husbands.

Second chance romance meets adventure, mystery, and definitely something wilder.

Lily Wilder's father Duke was well known in the archaeology and treasure-hunting world, but his passion for treasure didn't make the same impression on Lily, especially after her mom left. She loves their ranch, horses, and Leo, the city boy who spends the summer on the ranch. 10 years later, Lily's leading treasure hunting tours with her friend Nicole and is discouraged to learn that Leo is among the group of 4 that they're taking out on a week-long journey. The heartache from their unexpected breakup is still raw despite the decade that has passed. When one of the guys Leo's traveling with turns out to have ulterior motives for going on the trip, the group finds themselves grappling with a decision: stay on course, or follow Duke Wilder's treasure map.

Having been Canyonlands, it was the adventure of the treasure hunt that hooked me. SOMETHING WILDER was full of puzzles, maps, and surprises. The second chance romance is good too - two words: one tent.

Christina Lauren are queens of contemporary romance whose books are typically full of heart and humor. I often recommend their work to readers interested in getting started with romance novels so I was excited to have another title to add to my recommendation list. However, it ultimately fell a bit short for me. While Something Wilder is still full of their usual charm, it suffers from trying to do too much. Unnecessary subplots divert attention and disrupt the flow and pace of the narrative. An entertaining, but ultimately just okay read.

Something Wilder is now one of my favorite books by the author duo.

What I really enjoyed is that it is different from their other novels. There is an edge of darkness, and there is more than just romance, as there is a lot of action and adventure as well which adds so much more to the story.

Of course, it has the romance that I love about their books, but it’s also packed with action, mystery, and pure excitement. I love the idea that Leo and Lily were forced together to find the treasure of her late father and I loved that along the way they ran into danger.

This was an exciting and very enjoyable read which I will recommend to readers.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was National Treasure meets Western, and it was very enjoyable. The puzzles and action had me coming back for more.

The multiple POV was done very well and allowed the reader to get into the heads of the two MCs.

This is a great light read. Perfect for summer.

Oh my word, this book sucked me in so fast. I was instant obsessed with the history between Lily and Leo and the literal treasure hunt they went out on. I loved all these characters and it was so much more than a funny romantic comedy.
