"Off the Map" was everything I wanted from Trish Doller. I loved her characters in "Float Plan", so I was eager to meet Carla and Eamon. And they did not disappoint. 

We get the most adventurous opposites attract couple that has me grabbing my passport because someone take me to Ireland stat. 

The book is such an easy read. You get wrapped up in road trip shenanigans, a peak into what the characters in "Float Plan" are up to, and there are moments of tender growth for both Carla and Eamon that I found heartwarming. 

You don't have to read the books in order, but as always, I find that if you do, you'll enjoy the journey for each character -- current and past.

2.5 stars generously rounded up because I never considered abandoning the book.

BUT

The FMC is immature and irresponsible. The “lust at first sight” felt cheap and rush. And this book was far spicier than the previous in the series.

This was a cute romance! I love how falling in love with Carla’s love with Eamon helped her to find her priorities in life. It’s like she was fine until someone showed her what she was missing. On the other hand Eamon was the same way! He was fine until Carla showed him what he was missing. Together, they found a way to figure out how to move forward.


Maybe a little slow and lacking in conflict. Still a fun romp, though.
