Kerry Rea’s The Jewel of the Isle is one of those books that caught me off guard with how much I liked it .

Two opposites attract explorers go on a national park adventure—both of them pretty reluctant—& as they’re battling the elements & eventually a villain or two, they’re sharing the parts of their lives they hide from everyone else, kissing, & falling in love.

Emily & Ryder’s love story gets added bittersweetness because both have experienced big loss: her dad & his brother. These huge losses give them something major to relate to when so much else about them seems so different.

This book is funny & moving with so much heart. What it says about grief is beautiful. The action elements make it a fun mix of genres, too.

So looking forward to reading more of Kerry Rea’s books!
