    About this audiobook

    Between living with her demeaning ex-boyfriend, finding herself jobless, and struggling to make her dream a reality, aspiring photographer Emmy Vaughn has it rough, to say the least. Her luck changes when she bumps into Lachlan Sinclair, the charming yet rugged Scot who is about to tour Europe on his motorcycle. With no roots to tie him down, Lachlan is drifting to Prague.

    With the prospect of filling her photography book full of real, varied people and visiting her family in Germany, bright and colorful Emmy seizes the opportunity. Besides, she and Lachlan agreed to be nothing more than friends.
    As they travel through beautiful cities and make due with their dwindling funds, Emmy can’t deny she is blooming. And neither can deny their growing feelings. But Lachlan still can’t bring himself to be honest with Emmy about Lucie: the girl he is infatuated with and the original reason for his road trip. When Lachlan’s bike breaks down in Germany, he is forced to decide between the woman he has never met or the photographer winning his heart.

    An endearing tale of whirlwind romance, friendship, and adventure, Along for the Ride is a read full of charm and personality.

      I loved this book! It would make a great movie.
    • 4/5
      This was a short but good read. Em and Lachlan meet when Em asks to photograph him on the street. He agrees while prepping his motorcycle for a trip. When he spontaneously invites her along, she accepts and they travel across Europe. They get to know one another along the way. It has a happy little ending of course!
    • 4/5
      3.75 Stars for me

      I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and enjoyed the premise. It lost a star for me at the end though at two places.

      1. The major conflict should have allowed some sort of explanation; and

      2. The H doing what he did before getting back to the h was just wrong. He knew what his heart wanted.

      I do know that these are young adults and they are rarely rational but I would have preferred that the second to last destination did not occur.
