Description
'Cute, quirky and with loveably relatable characters. A sweeping romance, a romp through the jungle in search of lost treasure, snarky banter, great fun from start to finish!’ Marianne Gordon
A surprise gift is exactly what Adriana Jones needs to improve her vacation, and a bracelet with gems will do the trick.
Except once it’s on, she’s faced with two problems:
- The bracelet is actually meant for Andrew Jones – the renowned and utterly gorgeous archaeologist
- It will not come off, no matter how hard she tries…
Andrew Jones needs this bracelet if he wants to find an ancient lost treasure deep in the jungles of Colombia. And there’s no way he’s letting Adriana’s mistake cost him his career.
There’s only one solution: Adriana must accompany him on his quest. Trekking through jungles and crawling through crypts wasn’t on Adriana’s vacation agenda, but an adventure with the very sexy Dr Jones might just be the treasure she’s been seeking…
Tropes:
- Forced Proximity
- Opposites Attract
- Fish out of Water
- Destination romcom
- Spicy

This book was SO fun!
For one thing, I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan, so a romcom read that had similar vibes was a blast to read.
The books follows Adriana, a down on her luck business owner, vacationing with her brother William in Costa Rica! After a package is mis-delivered to her hotel room, she’s spirited away to a once in a lifetime adventure to Colombia with Dr. Andrew Jones (who seems to bear a resemblance to a certain Indiana Jones).
Even though this book definitely took some cues from the Indiana Jones movies, it didn’t read as a fan-fiction at all (which was something I was worried about!). It has a unique adventure and the romance was *chef’s kiss*.
This was an open door romance, so definitely keep that in mind! (I loved it!)
The characters were unique and interesting! I enjoyed learning their back stories and was invested in how everything was going to turn out. There were moments that had me laughing out loud (and also screaming to just make a move already!!!!)
I would definitely recommend this to others (and I can’t wait until it comes out so I can!)

Digging Dr Jones is a fun and adventurous romcom with strong Indiana Jones vibes. Adriana is unintentionally roped into Andrew's plans when she puts on a unremovable bracelet that was meant for him, but despite her unexpected presence, he never disparages her involvement or makes her feel useless. He was super supportive and sweet to her and he really valued the help and skills that she provided. The romance had a nice tension-filled slow burn until the spicy scenes kicked in, and the adventurous plot and the romance was all really well balanced.
I raced through this is one go and really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read more by Olivia Jackson as this was a really fun debut!
