Visit Me in Vienna: A Sweet Single-Parent Travel Romcom
If there’s one thing I can’t ignore, it’s a lost cause. And Brandon Banks is the most attractive lost cause I’ve ever seen.
I know a thing or two about absentee fathers—mine’s left a chip on my shoulder big enough to ruin my trust in men. So when I met the thirteen-year-old version of myself at the camp where I worked as a counselor, I immediately felt protective. Why wouldn’t I?
That was almost a year ago. I thought I’d never see that girl or her infuriating father again. But it turns out Brandon Banks is having a bonding trip with his daughter—on the same Mediterranean cruise ship where I’m supposedly bonding with my sisters.
He’s looking for someone to keep an eye on her while he works on their supposed vacation. I happen to have time on my hands, since my sisters are, shall we say, distracted thanks to their new boyfriends. Time I’m happy to spend with a lonely teen desperate for a friend.
But while helping her, I discover three things about her
1) He’s hot, rich, and cocky—a dangerously attractive combination.
2) He’s a widower looking for someone to heal his broken heart.
3) I absolutely, unequivocally cannot be that person, because fixing his heart might just break mine.
Enjoy this age-gap, enemies-to-lovers, single dad vs nanny romcom on a Mediterranean cruise and later visiting Vienna, Austria. While this sweet romance can be read as a standalone, for the best reading experience, start with Meet Me in Travel Sisters Romantic Comedy Book One.
Three sisters. Three cities. A traveling family saga full of misadventures, laughter, forgiveness, and falling in love.

What a fantastic way to wrap up this sweet, endearing and emotional series.
If you've read in order (which you should have), you know that the Travel sisters are winding their way through Europe, on a trip designed for them. As fate would have it, one of Alex's former camp kids is also in Europe, with her father - a man that Alex has negative feelings towards, based on past actions. Only, the assumptions she made in the past don't hold up well to the truth, as she is finding out. The give and take, and easy chemistry and banter between she and Brandon was very enjoyable, and I loved what she was able to give to both him and Bristol.
The emotions surrounding the reason for the trip, Alex's (misplaced) guilt and how the sisters rallied around eachother were just so relatable and easy to connect with that I finished this book too quickly for my liking. Some pretty tough stuff to wrestle with, for so long, for her. My heart hurt for her, and the way this affected these siblings. I ADORED how the events played out, and how the men in these sister's lives claimed their hearts. Soo sweet, and the perfect HEAs, all around!!
Please read this series, in order, for the best experience. I have enjoyed my time in these pages, and recommend this author's works and creativity. Fortunate to have received an ARC (thank you) I happily leave my thoughts.

This is the third in this series featuring three sisters travelling round the Europe to receive their inheritance. In this book we have Alex and Brandon's story. Alex is the sister i was looking forward to reading about. Being the middle sister, she's the one with the least confidence and the most apprehension about her absent parent. Now travelling with her sisters they end up in Vienna the place she doesn't expect to meet a former girl she looked after at a summer camp. The feud between the rich, handsome single dad Brandon and Alex brings the perfect amount of angst and underlying chemistry. This is a brilliant final story for this series. Although they can also be read as standalones

I loved reading this story. It was so great Alex befriends a teenage girl at a summer camp where Alex is a counselor. I liked that Alex meets Brandon, Bristol's dad, and has so many preconceived thoughts until she gets to know him.

ARC Review
✨ Description
Meet Me in Vienna follows Alex Travell, the hardened, cynical sister in a trio of hopeless romantics, as she’s forced into a month-long European trip with her sisters to fulfil the terms of their grandfather’s will, and secure their inheritance. While her sisters daydream about love, Alex has no interest in romance, preferring control, practicality, and emotional distance. Her carefully constructed plans are disrupted when she unexpectedly reunites with Brandon Banks, a single father whose daughter Bristol once attended the adventure camp Alex worked at. As Europe unfolds around them, from cruise ships to cobblestone streets, Alex is pushed to confront grief, family wounds, and the possibility that love doesn’t always look the way she expects it to.
💬 Review (Spoilers Ahead!)
There was something instantly relatable about Alex: the tough, hard-won sister travelling Europe alongside hopeless romantics while silently judging everyone around her. That vibe alone hooked me. The premise of the sisters being required to travel together to inherit their grandfather’s fortune added a fun external pressure, but the real tension lives inside Alex herself.
Alex enters the story deeply cynical and, honestly, not particularly likeable. She is judgemental, arrogant, and projects her unresolved family trauma onto everyone, especially Brandon. Her criticism of his parenting swings from accusing him of abandonment to accusing him of neglect, and it becomes clear that Alex is less concerned with Bristol’s reality and more with rewriting her own childhood narrative. She often behaves as though she’s Bristol’s mother rather than a camp counsellor, which felt uncomfortable at times. Her “not like other girls” energy (hating dresses, romance, and anything traditionally feminine) was hard to read, even as someone who doesn’t identify as a romantic themselves.
That said, once Alex allows Brandon even the smallest bit of space, the story softens beautifully. The initial misunderstanding about Bristol “being abandoned” unravels, and Brandon’s quiet competence and emotional depth begin to show. He charms Alex not by grand gestures, but by patience, pushing her gently, calling her out when needed, and forcing her to face the reasons she keeps her walls so firmly in place. Their connection deepens as they spend time together with Bristol, trying new activities, and stepping outside their comfort zones.
One of the strongest emotional moments comes when it’s revealed that this European trip mirrors Brandon’s journey with his late wife. His grief, quiet, enduring, and deeply human, parallels Alex’s own unresolved loss, and their shared understanding adds a layer of tenderness to their relationship. When Bristol realises something is developing between her father and Alex, her sense of betrayal mirrors Alex’s childhood experience of watching her own father move on, and this parallel was handled with real care.
Alex’s decision to pull away at the end, choosing to spend the final day of the cruise with her sisters, felt painfully in character. Her coping mechanism of writing unsent letters hit close to home, and those letters genuinely brought a tear to my eye. The emotional payoff comes when Alex finally chooses vulnerability and meets Brandon and Bristol in Vienna, taking a leap she’s spent the entire book resisting.
While Alex was often difficult, her growth felt earned. This is a story about grief, self-protection, and learning that being “worthy of love” doesn’t mean becoming someone else, it means allowing yourself to be seen. I’m genuinely keen to read the rest of the series to better understand her sisters, because if this book is any indication, there’s far more beneath the surface of this family than first appears.
⭐ Rating: 3.5/5
🌶 Spice: 0.5/5 - low heat, very tender, emotionally driven rather than explicit
💔 Tropes: Travel romance • single dad • forced proximity • inheritance/will clause • grief & healing • guarded FMC
✨ Vibe: Reflective, emotionally grounded, quietly romantic - a slow, scenic journey through grief, growth, and learning to let yourself be loved

Three sisters are cruising to rebuild their relationship and as a condition of their grandfather's will. Jillie and Kennedy lived with their mother while Alexis lived with their father, so they have a lot to catch up on. Brandon is showing his daughter Bristol places he had traveled with her late mother. Interestingly, Alexis had bonded with Bristol the previous year at an extreme adventures camp where Bristol wass morning her mother and felt deserted by her father. So Bristol has a negative view of the father. While the sisterhood building continues through the book with cameos of boyfriends of Jillie and Kennedy, the focus of the book shifts to Alexis' relationship with Bristol and Brandon.
Frankly, I thought the book had something of a split personality with two different stories that just didn't come together. As a story of three sisters rebuilding relationship, the grieving father and daughter is distracting. As a story of the relationship between former camper and mentor, Alexis' changing perspective on the father dominates the story. The sister story loses itself in sighing over absent boyfriends and giggling about Alexis and Brandon. I don't know how the two stories could have blended better.
In the end, I wished all the characters well, but I didn't have a burning desire to reunite with the characters to see how they were doing as I often do.

Visit Me in Vienna felt like such a soft, comforting romance, the kind that quietly warms your heart without trying too hard. I loved how the story brought the heroine back into the life of the young girl she once took care of at summer camp, and now suddenly they’re together again, on a cruise ship, with the girl’s father, Brandon Banks.
Brandon is this rich, confident widower who looks put together on the outside but is still carrying so much hurt beneath the surface. And even though the heroine and Brandon start off with a little feud between them, you can feel the chemistry humming in the background from the start.
What touched me the most was the girl’s relationship with the heroine. Their bond is sweet, protective, and honestly one of the emotional anchors of the story. It makes the romance feel deeper, it’s not just about two people falling for each other, but also about healing, trust, and slowly building something that feels like a family.
The cruise setting and the stop in Vienna add this dreamy, romantic backdrop that makes the whole story feel even more special. And the romance itself? Soft, slow, emotional, the kind that leaves you smiling at the last page.
If you enjoy gentle, heartwarming romances with a beautiful setting and meaningful connections, Visit Me in Vienna is such a lovely read.

The Travel Sisters series is best read in order, as each book follows a different sister on her journey from family heartache to healing. Together, the stories explore how past choices, misunderstandings, and emotional distance shape these women—and how reconnecting through travel slowly mends what was broken. Each sister’s romance mirrors her personal growth, giving the whole series a warm, hopeful arc about love, forgiveness, and second chances.
The final book focuses on Alex, the athletic middle sister who chose to live with their father after her parent's split. Out of the three, she’s the one who struggled the most with emotional distance, self-esteem, and an absentee parent.
Her unexpected reunion with a girl she once coached at summer camp while traveling with her sisters, sets the stage for a touching story about connection, vulnerability, and rediscovering her place in the family. Alex’s cruise trip becomes a journey of deep personal growth, mending old family wounds, and stepping into a more hopeful future. A heartfelt, introspective finale that brings the series full circle.

Visit Me in Vienna is a warm, sweet, and quietly addictive romcom that blends Mediterranean cruise chaos with heartfelt family moments and a deeply felt slow burn connection. The chemistry between the grumpy, overworked single dad and the counselor turned unexpected nanny is full of spark, humor, and the kind of emotional tenderness that sneaks up on you. The teen daughter adds depth and charm, grounding the romance in genuine growth and vulnerability. With scenic travel vibes, breezy banter, and a touching arc about trust and second chances, this story feels like a heartfelt vacation you don’t want to end.

This was such a sweet read! The chemistry between Alex and Brandon was palpable and so satisfying. It was so heartwarming seeing the interactions of both characters with Brandon's daughter, Bristol, and all of the sweet adventures they went on together. It was my first time reading a book by Sasha Hart, and this didn't disappoint! This is the third book in a series, but not having read the first two books didn't impede my ability to enjoy this one. I'll have to go back and read about Kennedy and Jillie's stories now!

An engaging story about three sisters. They're on a European tour compliments of their grandfather. Alex is enjoying their time together as she grew up with their father and her sisters grew up with their mother. Her sister's are somewhat distracted as they both have boyfriends they're missing. Alex unexpectedly runs into one of the students that attended the summer camp where she was a counselor on board the ship. The trip gets more interesting after she meets the girls father. Heart warming for all.

Having read the rest of the series, I was excited for Alexis's story, and this one was a wild ride!
Alexis is fiery and independent and definitely not looking for love. Especially not with the dad of one of the kids from her summer camp.
If you like slow burn, opposites attract, and a smooth, single dad MMC, this is the one for you!
It was brilliant to catch up with the other sisters. Their bond is so wonderful and carries through the whole series.
This one is sweet, and poignant, with a strong found family theme.

This is a wonderful conclusion to the Travel Sisters series. The reader gets to experience taking a Mediterranean cruise with the characters.
I loved vicariously traveling and dreaming of maybe going someday. I loved Bristol, the 13 yo girl. She was a great addition. I loved the emotions and truths Brandon, Bristol, and Alex each had to face. I also liked the Cameos of Matteo and Hunter.
There are no swears or alcohol and level 1 kisses only. Female single POV.
I received an ARC copy and all opinions are my own.

A beautifully written third installment of the adventures of the Travell sisters. I definitely recommend reading them in order as you get to know all the characters and get to experience their adventures with them, laughing, crying and loving every moment.
A definite must read!

Visit Me in Vienna Book 3 of the Travel Sisters Romantic Comedy by Sasha Hart is a heartwarming, emotional romance with just the right amount of suspense and reminds me of a Hallmark movie. I look forward to to reading more from Ms. Hart.

Compared to other rom-coms, this book was only ok. I loved the sisters’ relationship. And kinda adored Brandon. But the relationship between him and Alex seemed lacking and almost unbelievable.
