I received this an ARC from the author and this is honest opinion! Uncharted is the second book in the Wrecked series! It features Hailey and her men on the island, Zane, Calvin, Easton and Dante. They see the yacht with Sam docked and wrecked on the other side of the island. Sam comes and joins the camp. Sam hears about their relationship and he doesn’t take it well at all. They get all in to a groove and work on fixing the yacht and their daily life! There is a mystery. They were trying to solve about the Rock Candy and who sabotage it. The banter between them all is still strong, but so is the sexual tension! I loved everything about this book, the mysteries, the love, the banter! The ending with that cliffhanger, seriously, not again! I can’t wait to read the third book!

Ellie Pond absolutely bringing it with this series. The men are all so fantastic and different from one another, and Haley is sweet and actually a helpful member of the group rather than sitting around being pretty waiting for dick.
The cliffhangers are KILLING me. I need the next one ASAP

Picking up right where we left off in adrift, this story keeps on giving. We find out what happened to Sam. They finish their shelter, and relationships form stronger bonds with the female lead. This entire book is the crew playing Nancy Drew and trying to discover why they wrecked in the first place. Nothing is as simple as a ship wreck, and as soon as you think you understand, the script flips. Well written, with plenty of spice and bonus side pets. Cannot wait for the next installment.

... And the Plot thickens! We move forward in time and Haley and her guys are still on the Island. We find out Sam's fate from book 1. Everyone is growing closer and the clue as to what happened to the Rock Candy are beginning to show themselves.. again leaving me hanging at the end?! Arrrgggghhh I NEED the next book!!!

This is the second book in the Wrecked series and picks up from where it left us at the end of book 1!
The fivesome have learned to live with each other while on the island and have their own routine going, but now Haley and the guys have to make room for an extra in their group while also trying to figure out who sabotaged the ship!
They have to collect the clues around the ship in the hopes that they can narrow it down to who it might have been that wanted to Wreck the Rock Candy.
Haley's head is unsure about how Sam feels, but the guys remind her that she's not doing anything wrong. What they have is unconventional, but it works for them.
The spice is still fun, and I don't think I can choose a favourite, but I do like Dante!
We still get the chapters from each of their perspectives, and i love that it's in the first person. It helps connect with them more, and that's what keeps me glued to the pages.
With an ending like that! I can't wait to read book 3!
Thank you to Ellie for an arc of the book! It's out now, and if you're looking for something fun and spicy, I totally recommend this series 😊

Haley, Zane, Dante, Easton, and Calvin have made a somewhat comfortable life on the island. When they spot the boat with Sam, the captain, on the other side of the island, they’re both excited to see him and hesitant about how he might affect their current dynamic. While trying to fix the engines of the Rock Candy and get the radios working, they find out the boat was actually sabotaged. They explore the boat to find clues as to who did it and why.
I enjoyed the development of all the relationships throughout the book and seeing how everyone felt about Hayley from chapters in each of their POVs. The different POVs really distinguished between the guys, so they didn’t blend. The mystery aspect was well-written, and as I read, the more I wanted to find out who dunnit.
I couldn’t believe that this ended in a cliffhanger, and now I need the next book!

kindle: 3⭐️ once again the blurb is SO much more dramatic/intriguing than the actual book but also once again i enjoyed the read so can’t complain too much
i will say for the vast majority of this book, i planned on finishing this one but i’d more or less decided i didn’t care enough to keep reading the series……but then the cliffhanger got me i guess i’ll go on to the next one

Uncharted by Ellie Pond felt like it reached right inside my chest, grabbed hold of my heart, and whispered, “You’re not alone anymore.” I devoured this book like I was starved—not just for romance, but for connection, for a fierce woman choosing her own damn fate, and for the kind of wild, all-in love that only comes after surviving the worst.
This isn’t just some stranded-on-an-island fantasy. This is the continuation of a woman who found strength through shipwreck, who clawed her way through fear and loneliness and found five ride-or-die men who became her whole world. Book 2? Uncharted? It’s the gut-punch follow-up that dares to ask: Now that you’ve found peace… how far are you willing to go to protect it?
Let me tell you—I felt every bit of that fight.
The tension with the pirates looming? Had me on edge. The secrets about the sabotage? I was clutching my Kindle like it could give me answers faster. But through all of it—through every creeping threat, every shadow on the waves—it’s her resolve that stuck with me. She’s not just surviving anymore—she’s living, fighting, protecting what she built. What they built. And it’s so damn beautiful to witness.
And those men? Whew. Not just hot—they’re home. Each one of them brings something raw and real to the table: tenderness, strength, wit, protectiveness. And the way they come together for her, for each other? Yeah, it’s spicy (believe me, it brings the heat), but it’s also soul-deep. There’s no jealousy here—just devotion. Shared love. Family. The kind that says, “We choose each other, no matter what storm rolls in.”
This series doesn’t just throw you on a beach and sprinkle in romance—it builds a whole damn life out of the wreckage. And Uncharted proves that what they have isn’t fragile—it’s forged in fire, saltwater, and love that refuses to break.
If you’ve ever dreamed of leaving the chaos behind and building something wild, soft, and strong with people who truly see you? This is the book you need. And as for me? I’d stay wrecked forever if it means holding onto this kind of love.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – For the woman who finally found her paradise and will fight like hell to protect it.

It was embarrassing how quickly I read Ellie Pond’s “Adrift” (book one in the Wrecked series). I mean, a why-choose romance reminiscent of Gilligan’s Island, complete with a five-man crew, a deserted island, and a treehouse that had the makings of a modern, steamy Swiss Family Robinson tale. So yeah…completely devoured that book in the course of a day. It’s no surprise that I jumped at the opportunity to review its sequel, “Uncharted.”
“Uncharted” picks up where book one left off. Haley and her small band of men are still stranded on the island, with a rescue looking bleaker by the day as weeks have now passed without so much as a possible rescue patrol in sight. The crew has tried to make the most of things and have started to fashion a more permanent dwelling further inland. Haley continues to worry about Captain Sam’s whereabouts. The group continues to battle the elements, along with the natural dangers of the island, with the threat of pirates heavy in the air. Sam eventually makes his appearance and the crew eagerly reunites. Haley’s reluctance to pick up things with Sam are smothered with one steamy night with the entire crew aboard the Rock Candy. The rest of the book has Haley’s men making declarations of love up until the cliffhanger ending that finds Haley missing a couple of her men.
Although it was an easy, quick, and enjoyable read, I did feel that the “major” events were very anticlimactic. For example, the crew’s suspicions of sabotage are further validated in this book but there’s no real progress made at identifying the saboteur. Likewise, the threat of pirates is present throughout (as is the guys’ concern over what would happen to Haley should they be forced to face pirates)...but nothing really happens until the end of the book…and even then, that cliffhanger was more like a mild jump.
I would really like to see things come to a head in the next installment!

Haley, Zane, Dante, Easton, and Calvin, five of the lead characters, have settled into island living, busily establishing what they can to make the island as comfortable as they can for themselves. When the boat, with Sam, the last male lead, washes onto the reef farther around the island, they’re both thrilled to have him back alive and trepidatious about how his presence will alter their existing dynamic. Sam is initially disgruntled about the situation, but he can see how much Haley loves each of the other men and how they return her feelings. He doesn’t think there’s a place for him.
There’s also the ongoing question of how the boat was so thoroughly sabotaged, whether there are pirates in the immediate vicinity, and whether there’s any hope at all of returning to civilisation (though Haley can’t imagine how their relationship will hold up there).
This story is sextuple POV, well written and edited, and a sweet and steamy, island exile, contemporary reverse harem story continuation that ends in a cliffhanger. Per the author’s recommendation, it is best read as part of the series and does not stand alone. I enjoyed the relationship development throughout this story. I empathised with Haley’s uncertainty about how to balance her love for all the men and whether they would actually choose her if they had more options. I enjoyed the men’s perspectives, which showed their care, and determination to prove it to Haley. I enjoyed the differences in personality between the men, and the different relationships building between people. I enjoyed the shared intimacy. I enjoyed the non-romance plot and appreciate the cleverness of the cliffhanger the story finished on. I���m desperately waiting for the next one!
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

She’s down there—my favorite knife. I guess the captain too. Spices. Fu^k, clean clothes, chocolate for Sassy. I’m drooling like a culinary student at their first Michelin star meal.

To start, I'm so glad Sam reconnected with the group safely! I was so freaking worried about him even though the finale of the previous book, & extra scenes, gave us our glimpse of him. Thank you for not un-aliving him, Ellie!
Now that part is out of the way...I have the same question as everyone else. WHERE. ARE. THEY?! I know book 3 will be out soon, but I may pull my hair out before then. 🤣 I mean, just as we're working together as a fully cohesive group. 😭
I devoured this so quickly and am absolutely rabid for the next installment of Haley, Sam, Easton, Dante, Calvin, and Zane. I loved that they are calling themselves a family as they truly are at this point. The fact that Easton is no longer being treated like a spoiled brat & is being accepted made my heart happy!
I had previously thought Sam was my favorite, but now I've got a soft spot for Dante. Let's see if that keeps up in the 3rd.

This was a great continuation of the first book in the series, ADRIFT. Haley and the guys have settled into life on their tiny island and are finishing work on their treehouse. A day spent relaxing leads to the discovery that their ship Hard Candy has made its way to the island. While they are thrilled to learn the captain, Sam, has survived along with his loyal dog Penny, no one is sure what it will mean for the family they have created on the island. The author does a great job of giving us glimpses into everyone’s thoughts and feelings, not only about their new dynamic but also their renewed push to get back to civilization. And while the idea of a relationship between one woman and five men is, at least to me, pretty far fetched, the author manages to make it seem perfectly reasonable. Honestly, the sexy bits (of which there are a few) rank pretty low on my list of reasons for reading this series. It’s a good story with an intriguing mystery and interesting characters. The romance is just an added bonus. I must admit it’s driving me a little bonkers to have to wait for the remaining books to be released. And the cliffhanger at the end of this one was a doozy. But aside from the author trying to make us all crazy waiting to see what happens next I would definitely recommend this book.

why are there 4 books?
Gotta be honest, there’s no reason for this book series to be more than 2. This book just held a bunch of filler. And while I can appreciate some of it, I just wish it’d get to the point.
The first chapters were about finding Sam, and then the awkwardness of the fmc dating everyone and how she felt about it and then how Sam felt about it. I literally do not understand how Sam felt he had the right to acting like they were a thing when they had only known each other for less than a week. It felt so over dramatized. He was super butthurt and it didn’t make sense. If the author wanted to lend credence to the blossoming relationship then she should’ve had the book progress with more time on the yacht with everyone (the original crew, dad, sister, fiancé, ect.) that would make it more believable that they had something substantial going on. Which is why it made no sense why there was such awkwardness from the Fmc. And why Sam was possessive. Especially because they were lost at sea for a while. Some of the storytelling is confusing especially with how time is lapsing. I need the series to get to the point. There is so much pointless activity, conversations, and narration on getting from one place to another. How has an editing team not taken out all the extraneous content?

Haley and her boys have made themselves a little slice of paradise on their remote island following the shipwreck of the mega-yacht they were on. When they discover the yacht, broken and sabotaged, with the captain still aboard, their little bubble threatens to pop. Adding the captain to their mix brings a spark of competition that may prove rougher than the rainy season storms. However, Haley is determined to balance her boys out and get them to work together in harmony.
I love how she wore so may hats, including detective, lookout, animal wrangler, and most of all, peacekeeper. Finding out who sabotaged the yacht is only one piece of the puzzle, but with everyone's unique skill sets playing a part, they just might have a chance to make it home. Does Haley really want to go home, though? She's got everything she could ever ask for, and her guys seem to feel the same way. The way they have carved out a place for themselves both on the island and in Haley's heart was so perfect. I love how they all work together to tackle every project, and even adding the captain didn't rock the boat too much. However, what was that ending?! It was smooth sailing until that mega cliff! Please excuse me, I need a moment to myself to freak out 🥴

Another great addition to the series! This series has been keeping my interest with the lost vibes and just loving the moments between Haley and her men. This book answered some questions but leaves you with way more and loving how the plot has thickened on who caused the boat to fail in the first place. The intrigue, pacing and development of the relationships and plot has me invested and can't recommend this enough. The spicy scenes are great too, love the group scenes showing off their teamwork!
We finally get to see more of Sam and how his presence affects the easy-going routine that Haley and the others have gotten used to. Looking forward to seeing slightly more development between Sam and Haley going into the next book. Dante is still my favourite of Haley's men along side Calvin but Zane has definitely grown on me too throughout this book. Easton has an easy-going personality so he is likeable as a character right away. I love Dante's way with words and dirty mouth in the spicy scenes. Also Pepper's reaction to Penny's want to be friends had me amused, I do like having them as a part of the story.
Can't recommend this series enough so far and excited for the next!

4/5 ⭐️s
🌶️🌶️ - medium spice
LOVES:
- It was seriously impressive how they made a home on this island. The shelter, the food, all of it, wow. Fascinating!
- Adding Sam back into the mix created an interesting dynamic. I appreciated how they all worked through that.
- The truth or dare game was a riot 🤭😆
- The communication is well done and creates a very believable vibe for this situation. Their relationship feels like an organic, realistic journey.
- They become a well oiled machine! In the bedroom and every day survival techniques
CRITIQUES:
- The plot is interesting, but I find my mind wandering at times. Some stuff is so realistic that it gets a little boring.
- The spice was good in this one, but I still want more! 🤷♀️
This is the second in the series and ends on another cliffhanger. These are not standalones. I mean, I gotta find out what happened next and if they can solve the mystery!
Thanks to the author and her team for the eARC 💝

This second book in the series picks up right where the first one ended, but it adds a few things to the series I really enjoyed. It’s clear the five people stranded on the Island became a unit, and I loved the tension the arrival of Sam added to it. Every character is fleshed out a little more in this second book, showing their personal strengths better. But most of all, I love the who-dunnit plot point that’s added here, and the discoveries they’ve been doing along the way.
I think the spice/story ratio is similar between both books, although the group scenes are getting more frequent. Somehow, I can feel how these characters are finding joy and contentment in being stranded an escaping the rush of day to day life. They’re still rational in considering the dangers of being stuck on the island, but I kinda like their attitude. I’m looking forward to see what book three will bring, especially after the cliffhanger this one ended on!

An awesome part two to the Wrecked series! After months being stranded on an island with four gorgeous guys, Haley has finally found a perfect little family. A random trip to the other side of the island though finds their abandoned yacht Rock Candy and their Captain Sam stuck on a reef.
Another guy who loves her - what will she do!!
While trying to fix the yacht, they discover that it was in fact sabotaged and perhaps someone was trying to kill them! With the threat of pirates forever on their horizon, will they ever make it back to the real world - and do they want to???
As with the first book, I really love the unfolding story of the shipwreck and the sabotage and them trying to find the truth about what actually happened. There is more and more of the characters stories starting to develop as well. I still don't know how Haley has so much s3x though!
Love all the MCs and their very different personalities. The pet names for Haley are a little cringy but you can get past that!

This one kind of threw me off the story a little.

Book two of the Wrecked series, they’re making the best of what they have on the island, and most have given up hope that they’ll ever be leaving. They’ve got a plan for food and shelter and the relationships are developing but when they spot the Rock Candy it becomes more of a mystery to solve than a survival mission on the island
I was so engrossed in the first book that the second I got this one I had to drop everything else to read it. The survivalist aspects are so detailed it makes me wonder if Ellie Pond has been stranded on this island before. I loved the dynamics that are developing and gathering all the clues was so exciting! The spice was crazy good, even with their limited resources they get real creative and it’s top notch. I can not believe we have to wait even longer for the next book, I wouldn’t survive with our favorite characters for sure.

Uncharted by Ellie Pond!
🥥🥥🥥🥥
Thank you, Ellie Pond, for this ARC!
This is the second book in the Wrecked series and must be read in order.
K… THE CLIFFHANGER?! Are you serious!! I'm eager to find out where they are!
After months on the island, Haley, Zane, Dante, Easton, and Calvin (and Pepper) find a rhythm to their day-to-day being stuck. I still enjoy the dynamic between them all, but once they found the yacht with Sam and Penny on it, I was really worried it would mess up the dynamic they've worked so hard at. After Sam confides in them all the wrongdoings that wound them up in the position they are, the story shifted from the “Lost” vibe to a “whodunit.” The more they uncovered during the search for the rock candy, the more I was getting invested in who went above and beyond to ruin the charter.
I can't wait to see what Ellie has up her sleeve for book three!

Ohhhh I need more, please; this is just too good. I loved the first book, and this one couldn't have been better. All the tropes are still present and well developed; there is nothing missing. You want banter? There is plenty! Tension? You will feel it on your pores.
Seriously, this is amazing. I am so glad I applied to the arc and discovered this jewel.
Thank you so much @elliepondauthor for giving me the chance of being an ARC again.

Uncharted is the second book in the Wreaked series. Haley, Zane, Dante, Calvin and Easton are making the best of being stranded on a deserted island. A welcome surprise is discovered when Haley and the guys take a much needed day off. But the discovery leads to more questions and opens them up to more danger.
As with the first book, the story just sucked me in and kept me interested until the end. Haley and the guys have a lot to keep them busy - building a shelter, staying fed, learning to share and keeping themselves entertained during their down time. I thought it was well-written and kept up a good pace. The ending of this book does end on a cliffhanger! I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I'm really enjoying this series and love all the twists, turns, and mysteries. This one develops the characters a bit further (since the group is growing, changing, and adapting) and we get into the thick of the plot of why this has all happened (so many questions!!!!!). I'm endlessly intrigued by the groups survival, their supplies, their methods, and just general life on the island. I love finding a book where I'm enjoying reading and captivated by the entire story.
I do think, like the first book, there are just some timeline, plot, and editing items that need to be cleared up to make things flow a bit smoother and lessen confusion. There are still times I'm back tracking and trying to clear up confusion whether it's because of a writing/style choice or just a general error.
I have to know how the series ends so of course I'm going to keep reading!

Ellie Pond's "Uncharted," the second book in the Wrecked series, is a captivating continuation that brings Sam back into the story and deepens the intrigue on the island where Haley, Sam, Calvin, Easton, and Zane are stranded. The dynamics between the main characters add layers of tension and excitement, making for an engaging read.
While the plot is thrilling and the writing is immersive, it's worth noting that "Uncharted" ends on a cliffhanger. This might leave some readers feeling a bit frustrated, but it certainly builds anticipation for the next installment. Overall, "Uncharted" is a fantastic read that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Highly recommended for fans of adventure and reverse harems!

I was waiting to find out what happened next and Ellie Pond did not disappoint. The story only gets better!
How does Haley feel about adding one more guy into the mix? How will the guys feel about it? How will it change the group dynamics that took time and effort to become a family? It’s just another reminder that they get to make their own rules.
While navigating feelings and relationships, there’s a mystery a foot! It seamlessly blends in and there are more than one instance where something from book 1 (Adrift) ties right in. (Kudos Ellie for continuity!)
And…who sabotaged the boat?!?! 🕵️♀️
And…will Penny and Pepper get along or just have a truce? 🤔
Anxiously awaiting book 3

Uncharted #2 by Ellie Pond
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
🌶️🌶️🌶️
What to expect
Shipwrecked
Why choose
Mystery/intrigue
Tropical island
Sassy heroine
Nicknames
Sharing is caring
This is the second book in the series and it gave us more questions than answers, which means I still don’t know why the ship was tampered with although I have some suspicions. Ellie combines the mystery/intrigue with banter and spicy scenes seamlessly. I’m still fully invested in this series and need book three as this book ended in a cliffhanger and I need answers!
I love the found family vibe between them all and I understand why Haley is concerned if they do get off the island but I have faith in her guys.
I highly recommend reading this series.
