This book gave me major Indiana Jones vibes, and I couldn't help but picture the male lead character, Hunter, as a young Harrison Ford. I especially loved the adventure aspect of the story, with Hunter and his love interest, Presley, working together to figure out the clues left behind in letters from the original owners of the estate, Edward and Greta Valentina. I also enjoyed the way that Edward and Greta's love story paralleled Hunter and Presley's; there was an interesting dichotomy between the two couples' experiences and plenty of lessons for Hunter and Presley to take away from the older couple's journey.
In addition, I adored the slow burn of Presley and Hunter's relationship development over the course of the story. There were real obstacles standing in the way of their relationship, but it was clear how much they cared about each other and wanted to find a way to make it work. Even after ten years apart, Hunter and Presley were very well matched. Hunter remained Presley's biggest cheerleader and encouraged her to pursue her career goals, while Presley understood Hunter's need for adventure and didn't try to make him choose between exploring the world and building a life with her.
Overall, "P.S. It's Always Been You" was a refreshing change from the other romantic comedies I've read lately, and is certainly a new favorite for me among Lauren Blakely's works. I look forward to reading whatever she publishes next!

About "P.S. It's Always Been You"
A sweeping, second chance standalone romance!
I was pretty good at living without regrets until a way too close call during a skydive. Instead of my life flashing before my eyes, I saw one face, one regret that’s been gnawing at me ever since—Presley. The woman I loved madly ten years ago. The woman I had to walk away from.
At first, all I want is to sort out why I can’t get her out of my head. But as soon as I see Presley again, I know I have to win her back at any cost. Brilliant, captivating and utterly beautiful, she’s the one I want.
Fate steps in when we’re asked to pair up to find a treasure in art and antiques. It’s an opportunity I can’t pass up—to uncover a path back to the woman I let get away while we chase down a love story a hundred years in the making.
Trouble is, Presley is tougher now, more wary, and she’s been hurt. By me. So it's going to take a whole lot more than one hot kiss and a wild adventure together to convince her to give me a second chance.
