This is another well-written, enjoyable romance from Trish Doller with an adventurous protagonist struggling with the death or impending death of someone close to her. I love the plots, dialog and life lessons this author has to impart. However, maybe it’s just me, but it seems like there’s a rash of books out there lately where the MC is burdened nearly to the point of disfunction by a death in the family. Death and grieving are facts of life that most people have to deal with, so I get that it’s a universal theme. However, I’m ready for a new motivating factor in romance novel MCs.

Carla Black’s life is one constant move to the next, she travels the world in her vintage Jeep Wrangler and enjoys one adventure to the next. She only has two rules: don’t do love and don’t ever go home. Eamon Sullivan is a modern-day cartographer who creates digital maps but is lost himself, he is unhappy at work, recently dumped, and just wants to find something to do. When fate throws them together as Carla is the bride of honor for her best friend’s wedding and Eamon is the best man who just happens to be the groom’s brother and they have an unlikely first meet when Carla gets hit on in a bar and kisses Eamon, things are about to spark. What was suppose to be a quick airport pickup and drive to the wedding quickly turns into various trip detours, adventures, and the chance at falling in love. Carla has lived her life constantly moving from one thing to the next, just the way her father taught her, but she’s never come home at the request of her father who doesn’t want her to see him slowly lose himself to dementia... Carla also doesn’t do love because she’s afraid that she might have dementia down the line and doesn’t want to do that to someone. But the more Eamon and Carla get to know each other and open up to each other the more they begin to fall. Carla is living in a few days... and Eamon is determined to finally start traveling themselves... can they make it work or is this just a fling? This was a sweet read and I adored that we got to see the couple from the first book and follow them into this one too, I really enjoyed the writing and story of this one just as much as I did the first book. Carla and Eamon were a great couple with good chemistry, both of them are trying to find their path and they truly see each other. The story was sweet and the romance was well done for how fast it was occurred between them. Overall, it was a great read and I would definitely recommend reading both the first book and this one!

I absolutely LOVED this book! This could be my favorite of the series. It was beautifully written, the details on the scenery of the traveling through Ireland made it easy for me to imagine being there. This novel played out like a movie in my head.
I love Eamon, loved Carla and Biggie! Loved that Anna & Keane are back in this one. A definite must read.

Trish does it again!! Read this book in less than 48 hours. Pulled me right in from the beginning. Trish is one of my favorite authors. I’ve read just about everything she has written. 5 stars!! I have gotten a lot of my book friends reading her as well. Always recommending her to different people I meet and everyone agrees with me.

Trish Doller is a goddess! She has blessed us with another hilarious, emotional and spicy love story!
The third in a series, Carla is flying to Ireland to stand in her best friend’s (Anna from Float Plan) wedding. The adventure behind really begins the moment she lays eyes on the grooms brother. Adventure, emotional depth and witty banter, this book hits all the marks! I knew 25 pages into this book that it would be my favorite of the year!

Love love loved this. I don’t know if this is the last of this series, but if it is, it’s perfect. I’ve waited for this to be available and read it asap. I loved Eamon and Carla so much. I loved that he continued to know she was the one even when she left Ireland. This is the first of the 3 to make me cry. I will read anything Trish Doller writes.

What a great romantic story. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I hope to read more in the future.

I quite enjoyed the well-developed characters, and I felt as if I actually knew them, especially Carla. The overall story was fun and easy to read. It was definitely hard putting the book down especially when it got to the “sad” part of the book.

The only thing I didn’t care too much about was the foul language and the description every time they had sex. But this I my personal opinion and will not deter from giving this book a 5 star review.

I was so excited to see another book in this series and gobbled it up in two days. I loved the travel and adventure element to Carla and Eamon’s story. The call backs to Carla’s memories with her dad were lovely and tied into the latter part of the book so well. Lots of laughs and a few tears - I enjoyed this and hope there is more to come with this series in the future!

Thank you @trishdoller and @netgalley for the honor of reading this in exchange for an honest review.

Have tissues ready

This series has been heavy, light, funny, sad, swoony, steamy, sweet, heartfelt, and devastating. I go through such a range of emotions with these books. But this one.... was personal for me. I don't know if I have cried so hard at a book before, but I also never felt as connected to a book either.

Carla travels to Ireland for Anna and Keane's wedding. She meets with Eamon, Keane's brother, to travel across the country for the wedding. Carla and Eamon are complete opposites. She is a free spirit with wanderlust and spends her life traveling and meeting new people but never making real connections. Eamon is the responsible brother with the job, the apartment, and stability. Several detours and hilarious shenanigans later, they make it to the wedding.

I lost it when Carla returns home from Ireland and wrestles with coming to terms with her father's diagnosis.

I have adored this series and this author is now an auto-buy author for me. She knows how to tackle heavier topics and mingle with self-discovery, finding love, letting go, finding your path, steaminess, and sweet love. Her writing is always perfect.

🚨Trigger Warning:

Dementia, early childhood parental abandonment, death of a parent, brief mention of suicide

Well.....my emotions are spent after this one.
What a lovely book.
I really just loved every thing about it.
Carla is a wanderer. Something she has learned from her dad who took her on trips every summer. She's been traveling the last few years, avoiding home where her dad is suffering from dementia. She's off to Ireland for her best friends wedding and is meeting up with the best man, who is the grooms brother. There is an instant connection and they find adventures on their way to the wedding.
There's so much in this book I loved. Words that just grip you and hold you inside this lovely adventure. This was a new author for me and I will need to explore her other books now.
This is a top read of the year for me.

Carla has no idea how to do love. But when she meets her bestie’s soon-to-be brother-in-law, will that change?
I loved this one. It was a very quick read and I was happy to bump into some of my old favorite characters.

I read Off the Map in one sitting and am left with the best of book hangovers. Carla and Eamon are such a great pair and Trish Dollar has written them so that I fell in love with them as quickly as they fell for each other. And Biggie…there is just something so special in a father daughter relationship and it was here in the relationship between Biggie and Carla. Along with the love, laughter, and tears I am left thinking of adventures and the family we make along the way. I highly recommend this book!

Well I read this in a day! A really fun romance meets travel story. Like Float Plan, there were some deeper emotional elements to the story that were quite touching.

Another excellent romance from Trish Doller, and potentially overtaking Float Plan on my favorites list!

This is first book I have read by this author and even though this is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. I was first drawn in by the bright cover.

Carla Black has lived a life of adventure and solo traveling and hasn't returned home for years. Now she is off to Ireland for her best friends wedding when she meets Eamon. He was simply suppose to pick her up from airport and bring her to wedding location. They end up meeting in a bar and sparks fly right away between these two.

They decide to do some adventures of their own on the way down so Eamon gets his first experience camping and off roading. They way these two joke back and forth is so funny. They share the good, the bad and the ugly with each other.

Carla must return home as she has family issues to deal with her father's dementia. This part of the story is gut wrenching to read but very well written. Carla must learn to deal with grief and learn to let others into her life.

I really liked this. I'm not a huge fan of instalove stories and even though this was one, it felt like Eamon and Carla knew each other for a lot longer before their love story took off. Also, the writing was gorgeous, which I always appreciate about a Trish Doller novel. It was also fun to see Anna and Keane again, and Biggie was a great character.

Off the Map was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. Trish Doller masters a story of love at first sight that brings you so much joy, while simultaneously telling a heartbreaking story of losing the most important person in your life to dementia. The music, the travels, the love, the beauty of family and friendship, this book had it all. Not to mention a bull getting drunk on sangria, and a kitten rescued from being prey. I mean it, this book has it all. I devoured it in just a couple of hours, and it truly warmed my heart.

Literally started this one minutes after getting the approval email. I was so excited to read another installment in this series, I couldn't help myself. This story is equal parts heartbreaking and swoonworthy. Would definitely recommend.

3 Stars I'm so glad that Trish Doller continued the Beck sisters series (even though both sisters already got their books) and wrote Anna's friend, Carla's, story. Off the Map was a simple and sweet read. In Ireland for her best friend, Anna's, wedding (yay for getting to see Anna and Keane get married!), bartender and perpetual wanderer Carla meets Anna's brother-in-law-to-be, Eamon. Instead of heading straight for the wedding like they are supposed to, Carla and Eamon hit it off and instead visit some local Irish wonders that Eamon always wanted to see, even if they are out of the way on the way to the wedding.

I loved how symbiotic Carla and Eamon's relationship was. They were partners in a way since they were always on equal footing with each other, and they both supported and challenged each other like partners should. Both learned some hard truths and important lessons from one another. This novel was quick to get through and overall satisfying, especially having read the previous two books.
