I had really high hopes for this second instalment after absolutely loving the first one. But it just fell so flat for me. It was insta-lust to insta-love and honestly not much of anything to do with treasure until about 90% and then it felt very rushed and wrapped up quickly. This one was definitely more about the romance and family betrayal, and I just wanted so much more treasure and history (I know it’s meant to be a rom-com, but so was the first one and that one had such a good balance of everything)
