Digging Dr. Jones is a fantastic debut from Olivia Jackson that blends adventure, humor, and romance in the best way possible. If you love The Lost City, Indiana Jones or Something Wilder by Christina Lauren, with a side of sizzling chemistry, this book is an absolute must read!

Adriana and Andrew’s dynamic is so much fun. She’s completely out of her element, accidentally getting tangled in his high stakes treasure hunt, but instead of being just along for the ride, she fully embraces the adventure. I loved how Andrew never dismissed her ideas, always treating her as an equal and making sure she knew how much he valued her, even though she had zero background in archaeology. Their connection was built on respect, trust, and an undeniable spark that made every moment between them feel special.

Adriana’s past heartbreak made her hesitant about love, but the way she let herself trust Andrew and follow her instincts was so refreshing. And Andrew? Total book boyfriend material. He was supportive, kind, and a guy she could easily fall for (and did) from start to finish. Their island picnic date? Pure perfection.

The story moves at a great pace, balancing action, romance, and humor effortlessly. The forced proximity trope works so well here, and the ending wraps everything up in the most satisfying way. This was such a cute, fun, and spicy read. I can’t wait to see what Olivia Jackson writes next!

Thank you to NetGalley, Olivia Jackson, and One More Chapter for the eARC of this book.
