If it was any other time, I probably would have rated this book lower. However today it was giving such positive vibes and was so light & sunny, that I couldn't stop reading it. It's a very cute book!

Carla Black is a bartender who works part of the year and the travels the remainder of the year. She is full of wanderlust and that way she is fulfilled by being able to travel to her hearts content. She currently finds herself in Ireland for her best friend's wedding and she is meeting up with the best man in Dublin to make the trek to Tralee where the wedding will take place.

Eamon Sullivan loves travel as well, but makes his living my creating digital maps for travel, not because he gets to travel much himself. He's not entirely happy with where his life is at right now, having just gotten out of a relationship, he's not loving his work like he used to and he's finding that his road trip with Carla, the maid of honor, might be happening right on time.

The chemistry between Carla and Eamon is immediate. When they realize they both like the adventure of travel, Carla talks him into taking some detours on the way to the wedding. These detours could change the trajectory of their lives and they may not even realize it. Will they allow it to happen?

This was an enjoyable adventure with two very likable characters. I enjoyed the trip we got to take across Ireland as well. If you haven't read the first two books in the series, this can be read as a standalone without issue, but it's a great series, so I do recommend reading the whole thing.


I received an advance copy of the book from the publisher and voluntarily left this review. #NetGalley

If you have a case of wanderlust I think this book will fit the bill.

Carla is in Dublin for her best friends wedding, which is just a stop in many adventures in the past few years. The best man Eamon is tasked with picking her up at a local pub. He can’t help but be attracted to her carefree spirit.

While this is a little to insta-love for me, I found it to be believable. With Eamon taking the safe route with a corporate job his desire is to travel, but being the responsible one was his role in the family.

Carla is running from her fathers dementia diagnosis so a detour to take Eamon to some of his must see spots is the perfect distraction.

This was emotional, and really touched me especially having just lost a family member.

I received an arc for review. All opinions are my own and given freely.

I wasn't sure how I was going to rate this for at least the first half of the book. However, Trish Doller did it again and absolutely brought the emotions in the later parts of the book.
