I love this book! It’s a great read from start to finish. Noah and Amelia have a chemistry that doesn’t feel forced.

It’s a slow burn romance featuring a grumpy pie shop man not wanting to do anything with a sunshine-y, albeit burned out pop singer. Noah and Amelia have a chemistry that doesn’t feel forced.

I’m really hoping the supporting characters (James and the Walker sisters) get books as well.

@authorsarahadams knows how to write a rom com! All of her books come to life and have you wishing the movie was already being made. When in Rome tells the story of Amelia, a burnt out pop star in need of a break, who finds herself inspired by Audrey Hepburn and winds up in Rome Kentucky. Amelia’s old car breaks down in Noah’s yard and everything changes for the better.

Noah is the perfect fun-loving, grump who’s incredibly caring but also very guarded and rightfully so. All of Noah’s hesitations were completely valid but couldn’t prevent his heart from falling head over heels for Amelia and wanting to be with her. Amelia grew so much from her time in Rome, she regained control of her life and found a home, a family, and an incredible love.

When in Rome is a fun rom com read full of ridiculous nicknames, small town busybodies and siblings, and lots of pancakes making it the perfect read when you need something to brighten your day!



Thank you @authorsarahadams and @randomhouse for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Thank you SO much NetGalley and Random House!
I’ll be posting this pretty much immediately (hope that’s okay) on good reads.

Yes, I squealed when I saw I was approved for an early copy of this book.
Yes, I finished this book in one day.
Yes, it was better than I even expected. (Major Audrey Hepburn fan, and major Sarah Adams fan=I had pretty high expectations)
Yes, I got all the feels and girly giggles.
Yes, I will now go back and reread all her romcoms (some for the third time lol)

I loved Rome! Mabel!
Best of all-Amelia and Noah were perfect! From beginning to end. I love that it wasn’t just a relationship I saw change and grow, but they individually grew-and not into someone new, but who they were before whatever hurt happened.

Sarah Adams has done it again. This book is just a perfect grumpy/sunshine, small town, famous person romance. I enjoyed reading this book and devoured it in 24 hours. Sarah has a way of getting you to relate to the characters and finding yourself in them. This book is a pure delight to all romance lovers.

I am genuinely upset that I have to wait for September for the physical copy of this book! I cannot wait to have it on my shelf. Sarah Adams did it again.

If you like a good grumpy+sunshine, you definitely need to pick up this book. Also what is it about men who bake and are big softies for the ones they care about?

This book made me laugh, cry a little, and overall just happy (I kept finding myself smiling while reading). I loved all the characters in this book, and hope maybe there’s room to go back to Rome, Kentucky and be back in this world!

I will be talking this book up to everyone and making everyone read it! I loved it, and can’t wait for the next Sarah Adams book!

I did not like When in Rome as much as I liked the Cheat Sheet, but I still really liked it. It's another romcom book, this time between a famous pop star, Amelia and a small town pie shop owner, Noah. Noah is a strong but tender man (; and I bet if he was my boyfriend he would make me a gluten free pie everyday. He's also a man with sisters, men with sisters are always better. I think this book accurately portrayed how stressful the life of somehow famous can be, this book had me biting my nails every time they had to hide from the paparazzi. I really liked the background characters and how the townspeople would try to conspire to get them together. It was a really cute read. Not too spicy, mostly fade to black. I'd recommend if you like the cheat sheet or romcoms that aren't super smutty but still sexy.
