🏴‍☠️✨ Heart Marks the Spot by Libby Hubscher ✨🏴‍☠️

If you love treasure hunts, forced proximity, second chances, and adventure fueled romance, this one’s for you! 🌊🔎💖

💔 One summer. One unforgettable night. One very public betrayal.

Treasure hunter Stella Moore is used to chasing riches, but when it comes to love? Not so lucky. Last year, she found both—hidden treasure and Huck Sullivan, the broody adventure novelist who swept her off her feet… then disappeared without a trace. 😤

Fast-forward a year, and every bookstore is screaming his name. His new, bestselling novel? Basically their entire story. 🔥 And now, on her latest expedition, guess who shows up uninvited, looking for material for his sequel?

👀 Huck. Freaking. Sullivan.

💖 What I loved:
✔️ High stakes adventure meets sizzling romance – think National Treasure vibes but way more tension 👀
✔️ Childhood friends turned found family crew – Stella’s squad is EVERYTHING 🏴‍☠️
✔️ The forced proximity & reluctant truce – being stuck on a boat together? YES PLEASE!
✔️ Top tier groveling – Huck has a lot to make up for, and it delivers

🙄 What frustrated me:
🚫 Huck, why did you do that to Stella?! 😤
🚫 The emotional whiplash – the back and forth hurt at times
🚫 I wanted more of the treasure hunt itself! 🏝️

This is an adventurous, emotional, and totally gripping second chance romance with high seas, hidden treasures, and heartache. If you love epic love stories with equal parts angst and adventure, this book marks the spot! 💘

Thank you to NetGalley, Libby Hubscher, and Berkley for the eARC of this book.
