When in Rome by Sarah Adams
4.25
Read Completed 1/27/23 | 4.25 stars
This was so. darn. cute! I absolutely loved reading this and it absolutely helped that two of my favorite audiobook narrators (Karissa Vacker & Andrew Eiden) narrated the dual POVs in this one. We had:
- grumpy/sunshine
- small town romance
- little to no spice
- cute, fun professions (pop star + pie shop owner)
- fun cast of minor characters (three sisters, much smaller roles of the townsfolk)
- adorable banter
- no third act break-up
- characters who speak their mind and don't have stupid communication breakdowns
This whole book warmed my heart and I had so much fun reading it. It was definitely more on the cute side than the steamy side, but given that I don't care about spice levels, it was absolutely lovely. My only minor, small wish was that we got to see more of Amelia's pop star life since she was 100% taking a break from it when in Rome, Kentucky. We see a tad more at the end, but it would have been fun to slip that in a little bit more throughout the story aside from just her trying to keep her identity secret from everyone in town.
I was just about to say that I would LOVE to see spin-offs of the sisters but it looks like PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, coming out in 2023, is about Annie and I can't wait! This was my first Sarah Adams book and now I must go back and read her backlist. I just really clicked with this writing style and love when I can devour a new-to-me author's work.
