This was a cute, fun romance that I fond myself kicking my feet and giggling at. I am adding it to my bookstore order for us to start selling :)
Wow! This book is absolutely amazing. The descriptions are so touching and vivid. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I recommend this book to every other reader out there.
This wasn't exactly the cute fluffy romance I thought it was. The instalove was a bit much, but the characters were cute. My favorite part was when Josie and Leo kept asking each other questions, and that was pretty much the main plotline of the book. I think my main issue was that the translation was a bit rocky.
Thanks to Netgally for giving me early access to an
ARC in exchange of an honest review!!! Meh, the translation was terrible 😭 the story was very ordinary, skipped some (many) parts, very boring. Overall didn’t like it
I was not able to finish the book and therefore do not feel that I can give an unbiased review about the book, its plot, characters, or the author's work. I might revisit this book at a later time and finish it then, but not right now.
RATING: 3🌟
Review: A quick little cutsey read! I liked how quick it was for the romance to happen, but that ending made me a tiny bit mad (I know, there's a second book, but I really don't like open endings). Apart from that, I think that the story dragged a bit sometimes, and the other times the whole romance was a bit too quick and rushed. But to be honest, this made me read it quickly, even as busy as I currently am.
I'd recommend it if you really want a quick read, but honestly it was a bit forgettable...
I really appreciated reading a book written by a German author, and I loved the Harry Potter and Taylor Swift mentions, as well as the spotify playlists!
The book was captivating as were the characters. It had me hooked till the end. I will definitely recommend it to people of the same age group as mine, however for students, it's a little too much.
I have some mixed feelings about this books. I think the plot is adorable and I know many people I would want to recommend it to. However, for me, I was a bit disconnected. I think I just didn't like the characters. I don't think they were bad characters, I just wouldn't be friends with them if they were real, ya know? Either way I was glad to watch them find happiness. And if this book interest you I highly suggest you give it a try.
Definitely had potential but ultimately fell a little flat for me. I liked the premise but I was bored and found myself skimming.
Who doesnt love love books about getting away and not expecting to be with anyone. Because that is what the main character Josie was doing. She was leaving for Rome to get away from her ex and men. Just had enough. But she doesnt expect to find someone to catch her eye. Starting a romance with a guy you barely know and it could possibly be the best you have ever done. Reading the story between Josie and Leo was just beautiful its a wonderful romance set in Rome. Its beautiful and very well written. I recommend this i will read again for sure.
I loved this!!!! It was such a fun read and really enjoyable. I definitely recommend it. Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC on exchange for an honest review.
OKAY BUT FINDING LOVE IN ITALY?!?!!??!
I think I need to book my trip it Italy!!!!
Josie just wanted to rid of her worries and stress of men.
Leo causually backpacking in Italy and running into Josie = love at first sight.
I wish there was more chemistry connection between these 2 but i loved the concept of the storyline. Everyone would love to have a overseas love in a new beautiful location.
The book "Just One Night in Rome" was sadly a little disappointing. It consists of two parts, the first part takes place in Rome, the second part the two main characters where seperated from each other. The first part was a little boring in my opinion. I would have wished to see more of Rome instead just reading about the conversation they had for 200 pages. The second part was better, but the ending was a little weird.
I enjoyed this and really had a good time reading it. I read this quickly and highly enjoyed it.
I just reviewed Just One Night in Rome by Tiziana Olbrich. #NetGalley

I think the author had a really good concept for the book and the story seemed good but there were some details in there that weren’t exactly what the book needed to develop the storyline to its fullest, the idea was great and I got to enjoy reading the book, it’s just that this book had so much more potential if it were to have more details and more of the story itself.
In the book we see Josie a girl who has decided to go in a spontaneous trip to Rome after having some troubles with her boyfriend, so she could distract herself and feel better, at the hostel she meets a guy named Leo who wants her to enjoy the trip and explore the city, we get to see how their story goes from there. A cute and light romance read to spend an afternoon reading.
Josie thinks she can escape her problem with a trip to Rome to help forget and heal from her past. But the unexpected happens when she arrives and she is force to share a hostel with a cute boy named Leo. They start a friendly while exploring but then it turns into more of a love connection. While Josie is trying to heal and escape she falls in love with Leo who is a cute Latino and sparks fly between the two of them.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-read story that’s light and will make you happy, this is it. The first book in a duo-logy, Just One Night in Rome by Tiziana Olbrich is one of those reads that has you thinking it’s too unreal to happen in real life, and then you find out it happened to the author. Are you hooked yet?
Meet Lily. She crosses paths with a man named Matteo one night in Rome. Readers are then taken on an Italian journey so descriptive, you feel like you’re there with the characters. Infused with genuine emotions, twists, and cobblestone lanes (do not wear heels on these streets, I repeat, do NOT), the author will keep you entertained until the final sentence.
I truly loved how you could feel the heart and connection Olbrich has with the story. I enjoyed learning more about the Italian, Chilean, and German cultures and this book really spoke true of the hostel lifestyle. I cannot wait for the next installment… I need to know what happens next! Don’t let the familiar chance meeting narrative fool you, this is a fresh read for everyone.
Just One Night in Rome is a sweet and romantic story about two strangers who meet by chance and spend an unforgettable night together in the beautiful city of Rome. Josie is a young and adventurous woman who wants to escape from her cheating ex and explore the world. Leo is a handsome and charming Italian who works as a tour guide and loves his hometown. When they cross paths at a bar, they feel an instant attraction and decide to embark on a spontaneous adventure. They visit the most iconic places in Rome, share their dreams and secrets, and fall in love.
I liked this book for its light-hearted tone, its vivid descriptions of Rome, and its cute and relatable characters. The author does a decent job of capturing the magic and excitement of traveling and meeting someone new. The book is also funny and witty, with some hilarious dialogues and situations. The romance is sweet and realistic, with some steamy scenes and some emotional moments.
The reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt that the plot was too predictable and clichéd. The book follows the typical formula of a one-night stand that turns into something more, with some obstacles and misunderstandings along the way. I also felt that the ending was too rushed and unrealistic, and that some of the conflicts were resolved too easily. I think the book could have been more original and creative in its plot and characters.
Overall, Just One Night in Rome is a fun and enjoyable read for fans of contemporary romance and travel. It has a lovely and lively setting, a charming and charismatic couple, and a heartwarming and humorous story. If you are looking for a book that will make you smile and swoon, then you might want to give this one a try.
Insta-Lust is so hard for me. Either the author nails it, or falls so far short it’s depressing. This book unfortunately included the latter. I saw this book, read the blurb, and thought “Hey a cutesy little fluff romance” Boy was I WRONG. I couldn’t connect to the characters, No tension or chemistry between them. I expected to get the little giggly feet kick feelings like I usually do when reading cutesy romances, but this book just left me feeling completely empty inside. It took me a few minutes at the end to even process what I had just finished reading. A major WTF moment honestly. Also… what is up with this book’s playlist? I wasn’t even aware that it had one until halfway through the book, and by then, purely pointless. The writing style was not my cup of tea either.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. This review is honest, unbiased, and completely my own.
I had a very hard time enjoying this book unfortunately. It felt so incredibly slow and dull to me. The description was giving fluffy romance vibes but the book definitely fell short. While I love a good game of 20 questions I was 20% into the book and it’s just been half pity party and half questions between the two main characters.
Another aspect that turned me off was Josie’s personality. She felt so much like a doormat and added with her inner monologues I continuously found my attention drifting anywhere else. I wanted to like this book but for me personally I just could not. There are definitely some perks to the story and the MC’s relationship IS cute but overall the negatives outweighed the positives for me.
This is part of a Duology but I will not be continuing the story.
