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!

When I first read the synopsis for this book, I immediately listed it as Want to Read. Then, when I was browsing NetGalley I requested it… and GASPED when I was approved. I was so excited for this book because as a fan of all things romance and Indiana Jones I figured it would be the perfect book… and it was so good. Do you like Indiana Jones? Do you like the Uncharted video games? Do you like Lara Croft? What about romance too? Okay great! You’ll love this book. It’s cheesy, suspenseful, funny, and heartwarming. It was fun and quick and I truly enjoyed it so much. Thank you, NetGalley, for this ARC. I am so excited for other people to get their hands on this!

Digging Dr. Jones is a rollercoaster of adventure, romance, and humor, making every moment an exhilarating ride. From the instant Adriana unknowingly locks the mysterious bracelet onto her wrist, the story propels her—and the reader—into a whirlwind of unexpected twists. What starts as a simple vacation quickly turns into a high-stakes treasure hunt through the heart of the Colombian jungle, filled with perilous terrain, ancient ruins, and cryptic puzzles. The immersive descriptions of lush landscapes and thrilling action sequences make the setting come alive, as Adriana and Andrew dodge dangers ranging from nature’s unpredictability to rival treasure seekers who will stop at nothing to claim the prize.
But beyond the adventure, the chemistry between Adriana and Andrew adds an irresistible spark. Their banter is sharp and entertaining, with Adriana’s carefree wit clashing with Andrew’s serious, goal-focused demeanor in the most delightful way. As they’re forced to work together—whether crawling through crypts, deciphering ancient riddles, or narrowly escaping danger—the tension between them grows, blending excitement with slow-burn romance. Every chapter delivers a mix of adrenaline and heart, making it impossible to put the book down. Whether it’s the thrill of the chase, the danger lurking in the jungle, or the undeniable attraction between the leads, Digging Dr. Jones ensures an electrifying and utterly enjoyable reading experience.
