What a wild and exciting ride Robyn Nyx has taken us on with her newest book Uncharted.

This is the story of Rayne Marcellus and Chase Stinsen. Both are archaeologists, though Rayne works more as an antiquities finder and seller to the highest bidder, while Chase sees her job as a way of finding and preserving the past for everyone. Years before the story begins, Chase and Rayne had been friends and partners, but a betrayal caused a rift between the two that has lasted until the present day. When a very unsavory criminal approaches Rayne with a deadly plot to find a long-missing treasure, Rayne knows she must stop him somehow. But to do this, she will need Chase’s help. Together they must follow a dangerous path through the rain forest to find the treasure called the Golden Trinity before the even more dangerous criminals find them.

This is a very exciting adventure story set in exotic locations and with characters that will grab your interest and your heart. Ms. Nyx did an amazing job with the settings. We feel the heat, the gritty sand and the sweat the characters feel in the desert. We see the majesty of the rain forest in the eyes of Chase and Rayne. We feel the humidity, the bugs, and smell the stink of the mud near the river. Ms. Nyx makes the setting real to the reader through her descriptive words.
I must admit, I did not like Rayne to begin with. She seemed very selfish and self-centered to me, and actually that is a good thing, because that is who she was at the beginning of the tale. As the story continued, I began to see more of Rayne, why she is the way she is. I saw her grow into a better person which shows me how adept Ms. Nyx is at making her characters human and allowing them to grow.

Uncharted is an excellent novel to read if you are into action and adventure books with a lovely romance added to the tale. There is some violence in the story, though no more than you would expect from this type of book. I really enjoyed the story. If you like a novel with a good mix of action, adventure, and romance, I think you will like it too.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for an honest review.

A fun Indian Jones meets Lesfic story. I would have like to see more plausibility regarding Chase forgiving Rayne for her deplorable actions from the past, but overall this was a fun and entertaining read.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Rayne is a Antiquities dealer she knows want people want and goes after it.

Chase loves history she believes that learning from the past can help the future she doesn't believe using archaeology as a way to make a profit.

When criminal Turner as Rayne to find the legendary Golden Trinity she decide to steal it herself with the help from her bodyguards Toynck and Ginn but when she needs Chase help to read the map she knows she has to be convincing , Chase still hurting from a past betrayal doesn't trust Rayne but she always wanted to know if Golden Trinity is real or a myth and she also want to help the local tribes.

This was a good read I love everything how they tried to stay one step ahead of danger as Rayne and Chase start to open up to each other as they try to stay alive.

This book is awesome! I can't think of any other books to compare this to and that's a refreshing change. It was interesting with the history component. There wasn't a moment I was distracted or felt like "oh, this is filler". The characters were enjoyable even with their complicated histories and long standing conflict. This book is a winner all the way through. It's probably fantasy, but I could see at least another book or two following these two in their archeological/treasure hunting adventures and I would happily devour them.
