Big Wild Love Adventure by Julianna Keyes is a fun, light-hearted romance with plenty of humor and charm. The chemistry between the leads is enjoyable, and the adventurous plot adds a unique twist to the typical romance formula. While the story is engaging, it occasionally feels predictable, and the character development could have been deeper. Overall, a solid 3.5 stars—sweet, fun, and a good read for fans of light rom-coms, but not particularly groundbreaking.

Big Wild Love Adventure by Juliana Keyes had a storyline that initially drew me in, but overall, it was just an okay read. I struggled to connect with the characters, which made it hard to fully invest in the story. That said, if you enjoy reality TV-style drama and are looking for a light, easy read with some funny moments, this might be a good pick for you

This was a 5 star read for me! I loved the adventure aspect and adding the romance made it a perfect book for me. Emmy and Wes were fun to read about but I also really enjoyed reading about the other characters and the influence they had on the book. I especially enjoyed Tad. As someone who doesn't watch reality tv I really enjoyed the different challenges and the recouplings. I didn't love the ending but I definitely understood why Keyes wrote it that way. Overall I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing, and Julianna Keyes for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you for the review copy!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

This is my first time reading something by this author and I really enjoyed it. The story caught my attention from the beginning and held it all the way through. Reality show rom coms are becoming very popular these days, and this one certainly followed suit. The story follows Emmy who has really been down on her luck recently both financially and when it comes to love. In an effort to make more money and get her life back on track, she signs up as a contestant on the Big Wild Love Adventure, not really caring much for the love aspect, her only goal is the money. But while on the show, she feels a strong pull towards a fellow cast member, Wes. Emmy just may get another chance at love after all.
The book is full of drama and romance with plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout. The storyline was engaging and had a nice smooth flow with wonderful characters. It definitely left me with a smile on my face and a happy feeling afterwards. The characters were interesting and well-developed with realistic qualities that gave them an authentic personality and were easily relatable. I enjoyed their interactions and seeing them together. The story was delightfully cute and a great escape. I found this to be a thoroughly entertaining and adorable story and am glad I had the opportunity to read it.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I felt like this story line was trying too hard. I'm sure that many who are all in for the romance will love it, but I needed a bit more to the storyline.

I am a Keyes fan. I enjoy her writing style, which is crisp, unsentimental, and beautiful. Her characters are full and her writing is crisp and unsentimental. This book is her lightest, with a large cast of secondary characters and a light angst tone. The story follows Emmy, who's life falls apart and she is submitted to a game show. The romance is slow burn, with minimal sexual content. Emmy's journey is central, and she is a beloved heroine. The book is in first person, so it may detract from fully exploring the hero. If you're not a Keyes fan, this is a great place to start, and her rom-coms have something for everyone.

Thank you to Netgalley and publishers for the free copy for an honest review.

i read this on holiday and devoured it in one sitting!

one of my favourite settings is a reality tv setting and this really hit the spot for me, the show itself was bizarre but it kept me hooked and i loved getting to know our characters through this. i loved our fmc emmy, seeing her growth throughout the book made me so proud. wes also grew so much throughout and i loved seeing their chemistry intensify, i think it was so well-written and almost felt as if i was watching the show myself as opposed to reading it!

i can’t want to read more from this author and recommend this to anyone looking for a summer read.

thank you so much to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the arc 🫶🏻

This was the perfect summer read. It was an easy to read with little conflict. I loved the reality TV setting its always so much fun and chalked full of drama, especially with a bacheloresque show. This book had quite a few laugh-out-loud-worthy moments.

This book was just okay for me. I wanted so much to love this book, I did really enjoy the concept of a dating show mixed with survivor type challenger. However the characters were very juvenile in my opinion and it just did not bode well with me. I think the main character Emmy was very childish at times and it did get quite annoying. I did still feel the need to finish the book however very predictable you can absolutely guess the ending. Also very annoying how long it took the MCs to finally get together. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to read this book through NetGalley but this one was not for me.

Such a fun read … people competing on a reality show meant to find love and adventure in Panama area. The show itself was strange, but characters and situations were hilarious.

This was an absolutely adorable story! It felt as enthralling and captivating as a perfect combination of all my favorite reality tv shows rolled into one.
I was obsessed with Emmy’s character who had every right to whine but never did, I love her story of self discovery and shedding all the old expectations and bad luck as she forges a new life for herself in the Panama jungle!
The characters and chemistry were all so well written I love the way it felt like I was watching it!

I love romance novels and I love romance reality TV shows so this book wraps it into the perfect little package for me.

Emmy had had a rough year including being dumped at her wedding by her cheating fiancé and having her food truck baking business be hit by set back and set back.
When her friend and assistant convinces her to drunkingly apply for a reality love adventure show she doesn't expect to get on but she could use the cash prize.

I love the elements of all different reality shows it incorporates but I also love the growth of all the characters throughout the novel.

A very enjoyable read that I whipped through in a day as I was enjoying so much.

This was a great read! It was all about Emmy and Wes but I feel all of the characters grew thrown into a jungle. True friendship were formed and everyone reflected on where their lives were and came out better in the end. I screen shot a line in the book that held some truth to each of their stories, “ Maybe it’s ridiculous to take a life lesson from a reality show , but maybe it’s not so far fetched either. Maybe the point of this trek was simply putting one foot in front of the other,to keep going when things get hard, to stop looking backward and keep looking forward.I think that rings true for everyone. Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was the fun escape I needed. Emmy, a down-on-her-luck baker, gets drunk with her assistant and signs up for a reality show. Hijinks ensue.

Seriously, if you love summer reality shows, this book is for you. It’s cute, sweet, funny, and an easy read.

I felt like a Bachelor contestant. The characters are wonderfully relatable. The author’s vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue make it easy to get lost in the story. This novel is a delightful read that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling and a renewed belief in the power of love. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a feel-good romance!

Kate and Logan are compelling characters who undergo significant growth throughout the novel. Kate is portrayed as strong-willed and independent, yet vulnerable beneath her tough exterior, while Logan is charismatic and adventurous, with hidden layers that gradually emerge as their relationship develops.

The romance between Kate and Logan unfolds with a satisfying blend of passion, humor, and tender moments. Keyes skillfully builds their chemistry, allowing their connection to evolve naturally amidst the challenges they face in the wilderness and in their personal lives.
