Tangled Hearts
A simple house-sitting job was supposed to be easy... until someone started hiding in the barn.
When Lana Mills agrees to care for a friend's animals while he's away, she's looking for nothing more than a quiet escape. Recovering from an injury, Caleb Brennen is doing the same while helping his brother on the neighboring ranch.
Their peaceful routines are shattered when Lana discovers a mysterious woman hiding in the barn—one who seems to know secrets about the land that no one else does.
What begins as a strange encounter quickly spirals into a dangerous hunt for the truth. Hidden clues, forgotten journals, and generations of buried lies lead Lana and Caleb deep into the history of Wolf Creek, where powerful people will do anything to keep the past from coming to light.
As danger closes in and the attraction between them becomes impossible to ignore, they'll have to decide if uncovering the truth is worth risking everything—including their lives and the future they're only beginning to imagine.
Sometimes the greatest treasure isn't what was hidden... it's whom you find while searching for it.
A hidden treasure. A century-old conspiracy. A romance worth risking everything for.

A Treasure Hunt!
This second installment in the Wolf Creek series focuses on Lana and Caleb. These two have great chemistry. The time is a little muddled as there is overlap with end of Book 1 and once the timeline catches up things get a little confusing if you are trying to keep track of duration. Ignoring that - thought the treasure hunt was a fun adventure. I preferred the main series, Changing the Guards. It is fun being in the extended universe and seeing side characters get their HEA!

4.5 stars for Caleb and Lana's story.
Caleb and Lana are two lost people. They meet in the previous story (Wrangled Hearts) where they are tasked with caring for Jake's animals (Jake is Caleb's brother) while they are on their book's adventures (and this kind of crosses that timeline as well). Caleb is recuperating after being shot and Lana's taking care of the animals but someone is in the barn. Shaken, Lana returns to the house and tells Caleb about the encounter. Another visitor needing help in the blizzard that is happening shows up too. A bit later Caleb finds a letter from an anonymous person wanting to meet about Jake's land. Caleb can't go alone so Lana joins him and they find out that Jake's land has treasures buried around his land and the story behind it from over one hundred years ago. A couple of days later, Jake and Ella return from their adventure, are filled in on the whole story and end up calling in MacGallan reinforcements to help with the search for this lost treasure, along with a few other characters.
This story is more adventurous and intense. Yes, there's some romance here but the focus is on more the twists and turns this mystery adventure takes than the romance, at least this is what I got out of it. It's well written and I enjoyed it. You should read the first book to get the feel for this one but it helps since you do get part of Caleb's story and the how and why he got injured and more of Lana's in it to know where they are coming from.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Another excellent series with Tangled Hearts being book 2. Skillfully written with a plot that only gets more intense with each page as clues to a hidden treasure prove to be more a reality than legend drawing the attention of some powerful enemies wanting it for themselves and willing to kill for it.. Love, danger, and suspense make this a story you dont want to miss Start this series with book 1 Wrangled Hearts. You will be hooked.
