Forget billionaires, highlanders, and Navy SEALs--I think outdoorsy New Zealanders might be my favorite romance topic. This one was a wild ride with a lost treasure, an overbearing celebrity mother, a nosy small town, and a falling-down B&B, but it was enjoyable. I will definitely look for more from this author.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.

Well written and entertaining book. Great plot, believable characters and terrific New Zealand setting. I recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

First of all, I love that this book was set in New Zealand, I have never read a book with this setting, and honestly, I wish I had. The author sure has a way with words, she detailed the New Zealand landscape beautifully. Now, I am not one for hiking, but after reading this book I really want to go, especially through some of those trails mentioned. I also wish the Birdsong B&B was real, I would love to stay there.

The relationship between Angela and Noah was great from the start, you could practically feel the attraction between the two, and when they finally got together it felt natural. The adventure the two went on together was exciting and interesting. Overall this was a great story and I would suggest this to those who love a good adventure.

I liked the premise of this book. however, I didn't like the heroine. She basically grave robbed a dead body and played finders keepers. She was also supposed to come from this great outdoorsy background but came across pretty incompetent. The hero was ok and the villain was also very one note. I did like the sister and the mother.

Uncharted Hearts by Emily Archer is the first story in the Lose Your Heart series and an exciting and entertaining read. The author has provided readers with a wonderful visual of the beautiful and panoramic New Zealand landscape, while telling a fast-paced and thrilling story packed with romance and adventure.

Loved it. While I would be happier without any intimate details, that was easy to skip over and enjoy the romance and adventure. An exciting and engaging adventure it is, too. A wonderful view of New Zealand nature, plus romance and peril. A definite page turner and quick read. I am eager to read more by this author.
