It was a cute read but left a lot to be desired. Too much unnecessary drama for the sake of there being drama.

I can never resist a strangers to lovers romance story. This was so much fun. I loved the setting and irresistible connection between the main characters.

"Just One Night in Rome" by Tiziana Olbrich is a captivating tale of serendipitous encounters and the transformative power of one unforgettable evening.

Josie embarks on a journey to Italy with a singular goal: to escape the remnants of her past relationship and the complexities of romance altogether. Little does she know that fate has other plans in store for her when she crosses paths with Leo, a charming backpacker from Chile.

As Josie and Leo navigate the enchanting streets of Rome together, their connection deepens, sparking a whirlwind of emotions and desires. Against the backdrop of the ancient city, they share moments of spontaneity, passion, and introspection, challenging Josie to confront her fears and embrace the unexpected twists of fate.

With its evocative setting, authentic characters, and romantic allure, "Just One Night in Rome" invites readers on a journey of self-discovery and the transformative power of love, leaving them captivated by the magic of one unforgettable night.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

There was a lot of fluff, cheating, lies, work drama, which I get it adds to the book and reasoning as to why the ending happens the way it does, but I just really didn't feel like I was caught up in the book. Felt like I was watching a real housewives episode.

At the end of a book, I just want to know what actually happens, instead of a cliff hanger.

We are sad to say this book was a No for us, the cover appealed to us, and the setting of the book! I mean who does not love the idea of traveling to Rome, Italy. But it was disappointing, the writing style, the characters dynamic. I stopped after page 103, because I sadly just could not find it enjoy to read.
Hope someone else can enjoy the book, I was not the reader for it.

Sometimes you need a light and easy read and this book is definitely that. It was the power of how a moment can change your life. Well developed characters, a captivating story and well, the want to have the night of my life. Just saying

As a travel lover, adventure seeker, I thought this would be a cute rom-com/chic lit read that had all the things.

In reality, this book was messy, heart break, lots of office drama/growth, and a crap boss. (Maybe it was my inner Emily Henry mind, or Jeneva Rose rom-com, but this one just wasn't cutting it for me).

There was a lot of fluff, cheating, lies, work drama, which I get it adds to the book and reasoning as to why the ending happens the way it does, but I just really didn't feel like I was caught up in a chic lit book, versus a real housewives episode/office drama.

At the end of the book, I just want to know what actually happens, instead of a cliff hanger.

Thank you NetGalley and author Tiziana Olbrich for the copy in exchange of my honest review.

"They live on opposite ends of the Is one unforgettable evening enough to forever intertwine the lives of two strangers?

When Josie books her trip to Italy, she has only one thing in to escape from her ex and men in general. In Rome fate deals a curious hand as she finds herself sharing a hostel room with the globetrotter Leo. Beyond his outrageously good looks, the Chilean backpacker unsettles Josie with his persistent questions, causing her to rethink her life choices. Leo invites her on the adventure of her An adventurous night roaming the streets of Rome. Sparks fly intensely, however Leo lives on the other side of the world, and Josie doesn't know if she will ever see him again. Is one magical night enough to turn her whole world upside down?"

It is cute and a quick and easy read.

This being a first time read for me by this author, I had no specific expectations going into it. It was a cute, light story and I have never been to Rome so it was nice to get a little taste of it through this book. The story centers around Josefine and Leland, who meet by chance and they end up spending one unforgettable night exploring Rome together. They have such a lovely time together and after just one night, their lives are most certainly changed. They begin to speculate if this could turn into something more, or does their journey end before it really even began?
A very nice and enjoyable story, good for a light summer read. The book does conclude on a cliffhanger, so you will have to pick up the next one to see how things end.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This story depicts two strangers having the cutest night in rome. It is packed with emotions, good and bad, and it is thrilling til the end. I cannot wait for part 2!

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

Title: Just One Night in Rome: A Mediocre Experience

Rating: ⭐⭐✩✩✩

Having heard so much about "Just One Night in Rome," I was excited to finally experience it for myself. However, my expectations were met with a mixed bag of impressions.

Let's start with the positives. The setting of Rome is undeniably charming, and the ambiance created within the narrative does justice to its beauty. The author's descriptive prowess shines through, painting vivid scenes of the city that transport you there in an instant. Additionally, the premise of the story had potential, promising intrigue and romance against the backdrop of one of the world's most romantic cities.

Unfortunately, where the novel falls short is in its execution. The characters, while initially intriguing, lacked depth and development. It felt like they were merely going through the motions, adhering to clichés rather than evolving into fully fleshed-out individuals. Furthermore, the plot, while promising, felt rushed and predictable. It seemed as though the author was ticking off a checklist of typical romance novel tropes without adding any fresh perspective or originality to the story.

Moreover, the pacing of the novel felt uneven. At times, it dragged on with unnecessary detail, while at others, crucial moments were glossed over, leaving me feeling disconnected from the narrative. This inconsistency hindered my ability to fully immerse myself in the story, preventing me from truly investing in the characters' journey.

Overall, "Just One Night in Rome" is a decent read for those seeking a light, escapist romance set against the backdrop of a captivating city. However, if you're looking for a novel with substance, depth, and originality, you may want to look elsewhere. While it has its moments, ultimately, it fails to leave a lasting impression.

I chose this book for review simply because I fell in love with the cover. Italy equals gelato, gelato means love, love shall be written about in this book - simply because of the cover.
I had high expectations, as indie books sometimes have ugly covers that simply deter me from reading the story. But in this case, the cover was brilliant, but I had a hard time connecting with the story. Sadly, this can happen, but I was bummed, as I loved the originality the cover suggested, which fell flat for me in the storyline - the book was rathe one dimensional, not really cutesy of fluffy to cover up some gaps and inconsistencies.
Hopefully, the next story by the author will grab me by the heart and tug along!

Thank you netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this one, including most aspects from the characters to how they and the plot developed. Would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in the genre. Taking all of this into consideration, I am giving it 4/5 stars. Can’t wait to read other works from this author.

I had really high expectations for this and I definitely judged a book by it's cover. The cover is a 5/5 but the story and plot fall flat and did disappoint.

Another beautiful cover along with a beautiful story! This book had all the things you would love and need in a book. The storyline, the characters, the cover!!! Perfection.

This book was ok I had a hard time connecting to the story line but I enjoyed the flow of the story.

A good book with good characters. This is definite fun read that is well written and has a well thought out plot.

This book was not for me. I thought I would be interested in it, but from the beginning I didn't like the writing style. I also didn't like either of the main characters.

A short romance that enticed fellow travel-loving romance readers - unfortunately this failed to deliver for me.

I was expecting fluff, banter and travel fuelled love. From the get-go, I struggled to get along with the writing style. I found the characters to be irritating at times, lacking relatability, depth and chemistry. This led me to not feel as invested in the story as I usually am and as a result I found myself not really caring for a happy ending and just wanting the book to be finished.

There was also A LOT of drama and gossiping which I do not like to dominate my romance reads. I found it to take away from the story and made me only able to read this in short-bursts,

Unfortunately the story did not flow for me and I found quite a few grammatical errors and structural mistakes (in my opinion). This, alongside a ton of inner-monologues and the cliff-hanger ending means I will not be continuing the series.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an arc in exchange for an honest review.

received a copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. this book had so many grammatical mistakes that made it difficult to want to continue. it didn’t seem like the main characters had much of a connection and i felt like it was too insta-love
