Bo Furguson thrives on plans, and his new promotion will allow him to finally give his mother and sister financial security while still putting money aside for his wedding fund. But when his archaeologist fianc�e dumps him by text message and then ghosts him, he decides to scrap his schedule and travel to Belize to find out why. Tour guide Alexandra Stone, however, lives on "Belize time," where 10 minutes late is still early and maps are unnecessary. Her tour guide business is in jeopardy thanks to her father's untimely death and her thieving ex, though, so she's not about to turn down a lucrative job no matter how uptight her client Bo seems. Their adventure-filled trip through the jungle puts both of their worldviews to the test, making them each see each other through new eyes. VERDICT Vaughan's (Casting Her Crush) Harlequin debut pays loving tribute to the adventure movies of the '80s and '90s, taking readers on a fun- and romance-filled romp through the Belizean rainforest. Bo and Alex's story is sure to leave readers looking for more from this author.--Rebecca Moe
