Off the Map by Trish Doller

4.5

Sweet and heartfelt. The romance was a little on the unbelievable insta-love side, but still a nice story.

I suppose you could say this is a book, it has all the elements but no emotion or feeling

Wasn't my favorite, but wasn't the worst, either. I think that it safely secures its place as a three-star read. If you enjoyed Trish Doller's other books in this series and if you like travel and adventure you will probably enjoy this one as well.

Bonus points for the Irish accents in the audiobook. It is a very enjoyable audiobook to escape into. It doesn't do anything new as a romance novel which is always a safe read in my opinion. It tries to get into deeper emotional themes, especially dementia, parental abandonment, and loss but I didn't think this was particularly too emotionally heavy. I could have done with one or two more chapters at the end to wrap things up. Instead, it was sort of an abrupt ending.

 Off the Map is the least book that I like from this series. The plot is fast paced. Althoughit is telling a emotional story about caring loves one, I found the romance is lacking. Really lacking. 

The romance is fast paced and dived right into the smut right away. Miss Doller sadly fails to bring the story more interesting.

I’m trying to figure out how to best describe this book…there’s no depth to any part of the story line. Usually just one sentence here or there to link each event in the storyline together. There was too much going on and too many characters. I never really got into it. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone. Also, the door wide open scenes were aplenty - more description in those scenes than the entire book.

I’ve heard the other books in the series are better, but this one is so bad that I don’t think I’ll try to find out.

this started out really promising.

she kisses him the first time she meets him and pretends he's her boyfriend?

delish. but i struggle with characters who are emotionally distant because they're also pretty distant with the reader so it's difficult to connect. it started to just feel like we were hopping from one place to another without conflict and i lost interest.

also, i skimmed so granted, i might be wrong, but i'm pretty sure the car never ends up getting flipped over???? and that's on the cover?

*lots of sexual content, which I was not expecting. The author's writing style was great and I found the story enjoyable.
