This is a clean read about Beth and Blake competing against each other for a sponsorship from Nomad, which consists of a ticket to travel around the world for an entire year and all expenses paid. They get to travel together during the competition and whichever one gets the most feedback on their blog posts will win. I really enjoyed reading about the different places they visited. I loved the descriptions. I also enjoy them meeting Mike and Doris on the train.

I absolutely loved this book, staying up way past midnight to finish it! The characters were believable, engaging, and had tangible chemistry, even when they didn’t seem to like each other. At no point did I feel compelled to skim through any scene and even the location descriptions were written in just the right amount of detail. Too much description can get boring and slow down the pace of the story.

The story also made my heart ache in places - always the sign of a great story! Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed getting to know these characters. Blake and Beth are both chosen for a travel writing contest. They will travel across Canada and blog about their experience. Judges then vote on a winner who wins a year of travel free around the world. Is so cute as Beth is very nervous and stuffy and Blake can't say the right thing to save his life. But of course as they travel such a beautiful country, they also begin to appreciate one another. Though things are not easy. Very fun, clean read! Really enjoyed getting to know these characters.

Beth Greenwood desires to be a travel writer like her father. She enters a contest. As finalists, Blake O'Brien, a famous blogger, embarks with Beth on a journey across Canada. The prize, round-the-world trip. I loved this book. I experienced the Rocky Mountains across Canada. Niagra Falls was breathtaking. The landscape, breathtaking. The adventure, exciting. The romance, interesting. Beth and Blake are opposites. He loves to tease. She not so much. He came across arrogant. She down-to-earth.

Great read I loved this story. It’s been a while since I read a single POV story, and this one was sweet. I was surprised by the depth of Blake that came to light at the end. Great read.

The chemistry between Beth and Blake was so beautifully brought out. The description of the various places and the interaction between the characters were natural and seemed to flow along. Lovely read.

Very sweet, fast-paced romance amidst the Rockies in Canada. I couldn't put it down. It was easy to root for the couple and be involved with their daily lives. It was sad when it ended but it was a good ending. I would recommend it any day. Very sweet, fast-paced romance amidst the Rockies in Canada. I couldn't put it down.
