In the third “Beck Sisters” romance (a follow-up to The Suite Spot), Carla Black is running away, though she sees it more as traveling. Her father has Alzheimer’s, and Carla can’t stand to see him slowly drifting away. Right now she’s in Ireland for her friend Anna’s wedding, and she’s waiting at a bar for the groom’s brother, Eamon Sullivan, who will drive her to the wedding location a few hours away. Eamon longs for adventure but has never taken the first step toward his dreams—until the night he meets Carla. With her encouragement, they take the long route to the wedding, stopping along the way to check things off on Eamon’s adventure bucket list. Somewhere on the drive, their vacation fling deepens into something dangerously close to love.
VERDICT This charming, funny romance throws total opposites together in a road trip full of mishaps and happy accidents. Though the happily-ever-after is a given, the journey to that conclusion is a delight, and readers won’t want it to end. Recommended for general purchase.
