The Jewel of the Isle

Praise

“The Jewel of the Isle was impossible to put down. Kerry Rea does a phenomenal job of balancing grief with laugh-out-loud humor and exciting, high-octane twists and turns of adventure. This book has literally everything. Hilarious banter. Steam. A villain who wins the award for Most Punchable Villain. Ryder is—and I cannot overstate this—an absolute DELIGHT. Emily’s such a wonderfully complex character, fearful and yet so fierce, and I adored their opposites-attract wilderness romance.”—Sarah Hogle, author of Old Flames and New Fortunes

“Kerry Rea’s The Jewel of the Isle is an action packed, hilarious and absolutely swoon worthy novel that had me hooked from page one. Fans of adventure romance will love this book!”—Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Partner Plot

“Both reluctant tour guide and classic Disney hero Ryder and brave, brainy Emily are trying to escape family tragedy in the wilderness, only to find true love and a historic diamond—all while dodging moose, mosquitoes, and mustache-twirling bad guys. The Jewel of the Isle will make readers both gasp and swoon as Kerry Rea packs Indiana Jones-style action adventure into a campers-to-lovers rom com.”—Katie Shepard, author of Sweeten the Deal

“The Jewel of the Isle is a total blockbuster of a romance. With gripping action, a deeply charming and unexpected opposites attract pairing, and laugh out loud voice, this was some of the most fun I’ve had reading a book in a long time. Emily and Ryder are complex, authentic characters who made this book sparkle like treasure.”—Mallory Marlowe, author of Love and Other Conspiracies

“The great outdoors brings peril and passion in this high-octane rom-com…Rea ramps up the suspense, but never races through the relationship itself, allowing it to develop at a natural pace amid the drama. The characters slowly reveal their hidden depths…igniting an attraction that inspires them to want to save each other. It’s the perfect mix of danger and delight.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Rea takes readers on a delightful adventure that’s packed with action, twists, and humor in this forced-proximity rom-com. Hand to fans of Jo Segura and Sarah Hawley.”—Library Journal

“This hilarious novel doesn’t take itself too seriously and is a quick, fun read.”—Booklist
