Review of Uncharted Desires
Kat is a backup musician for Weston Monroe. Weston recently announced that he was going to retire from the music industry. Kat is furious about this announcement as it leaves her out of a job, and she found out via social media instead of being told by Weston. Kat and Weston also have unresolved feelings and a great deal of tension between them. The whole band is on a ship together, celebrating the end of Weston's final tour, when Kat and Weston find themselves overboard in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Will the pair survive their plunge into the ocean? What will happen when their feelings for each other are revealed? All the answers lie inside the pages of Uncharted Desires by Jillian Sharp.
The plot of this book goes beyond the scope of a mere romance. The book dives into a survival story as Weston and Kat fight to make it out of the ocean and back to civilization. Thirst, starvation, wildlife, and other dangers lurk at every corner as they try to make the best of their situation. Seeing Kat use teachings from her grandmother about medicinal herbs and connecting them back to her Native American culture was such a cool moment because it demonstrated the wisdom that can be found in learning about one's culture as well as the power of the natural world.
Additionally, the characters were extremely well-written. Weston faced immense pressure from being in the public eye from a young age as the son of a rock star. He wanted to be his own person; however, that seemed impossible due to the demands of labels, fans, and his own family. Kat's musical prowess and fierce determination to have her voice heard made her a compelling protagonist. Tossing these two strong-willed characters into a life-or-death situation was like pouring gas onto a fire as their best and worst traits came to the surface.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have no dislikes. I have no reason not to give it a perfect score. The book was well-edited; I believe that it was professionally edited. Due to the profanity and sexual content, this book is only suitable for mature readers. Fans of romance and survival stories would enjoy this book.

Congratulations on this well-thought review, Laney!
“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” ― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
