When in Rome
When in Rome | Sarah Adams
17 posts | 23 read | 15 to read
Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet. "This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com."--Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her "princess of pop" image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is. When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn't have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He's too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room--but only until her car is fixed--then she's on her own. Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose--she's Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can't help but get close to her. Soon she'll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she's been missing, and she'll help him open his heart to more. Amelia can't resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

My daughter bought this new cozy blanket, it says “Believe in Magic”, so cute!!! I‘m gonna start When In Rome since it‘s a library book and it‘s due by the end of the week and then I‘ll go back to the Dreamland Billionaires. Oh, that‘s a good series. So saucy and the main character, dreamy! I plan to buy the hardcovers on the other series. I‘ll get back to you on this one. I‘ve heard it‘s good. #summerreads #cozyblankets #romcom #newromance

Cute and funny story of a stressed out country star hiding out in a small town to find the joy in her music again. Shenanigans ensue and she gals for the big, burly . . . pie shop owner? This one was heavy on quirky town characters and light on spice. Perfect commuter book on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Pantone2023 #SpringCrocus

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! This one is on my TBR as well!! 2y

Amelia is a pop star in dire need of a break, so following Audrey Hepburn‘s lead, she flees to Rome. Except Italy is kinda far and there‘s a Rome, Kentucky nearby sooo. When Noah finds a pop star in her broken down car in his front yard, he can‘t believe this is happening to him. Amelia ends up staying in his guest room and well, when in rome….
spice level is non-existent so that‘s a boo but such a quick read and very cute and sweet

Such a fast and fun read, perfect palate cleanser from all the death and murder I‘m usually reading. This has game art, warmth, and humour. Spicy level zero though.

After reading a murder mystery, I needed a light romance novel - it‘s the holidays! Rockstar Rae needed a break from her lifestyle, and following Audrey Hepburn, flees to Rome - Kentucky. She escapes but sparks fly between her and Noah, the grumpy hottie that‘s letting her stay in his home. Grumpy/sunshine is my weakness, and the chemistry between the two characters is great. A fun, quick, lighthearted read!

A fun, flirty romance by a local Nashville author. A perfect little vacation book.

A soft pick. It was cute and I really want my own Noah. And while I enjoyed this overall, I felt there really wasn‘t enough conflict. I kept waiting for something, some misunderstanding or external event, to happen to drive them apart but it never did. But still an easy, light-hearted read.

Sarah Adams has yet to write a book I don't love, they are just so cute. A grumpy(whose also super soft)-sunshine small town romance what more could I ask for.

This was a fun, clean romance that made me laugh (for the right reasons). Nice riff on the classic Hepburn film “Roman Holiday”. Comes out 9/20
