An utterly adorable, slightly steamy (closed-door) romance!
I didn't read the precursor to this novel, When in Rome, but Practice Makes Perfect stands perfectly well on its own.
I can't believe that first guy, Mr. Khakis-and-no-effort-or-personality, had the gall to call Annie boring! Any time the story was told from her POV, I found myself laughing out loud at least twice. She's a total hoot! I could completely understood the ideas her family and the town at large had about her and the boxes they put her in could chafe over a lifetime of living in Rome. Annie was hilarious, interesting, smart, original, and caring, an excellent female MC.
Will was a sensitive and sexy, but not flawless, male MC. His imperfections made me love him, because he felt real. I loved how he sees Annie - really sees her - and how amazing she is, from page one. He doesn't want her to change, and he's right that she neither should nor needs to change.
The sibling relationships were all lovely. I thought the opposite reactions Will and his brother had after their upbringing was both an interesting contrast and quite believable. Their opening up to one another was a heartwarming moment. The love between Annie and her sisters, especially with their wholehearted addition of Amelia Rose to their ranks, was a delight. I love seeing women support and love and have fun with one another!
Man oh man, I didn't know that a closed-door romance would be so...steamy. I don't know how Adams flustered me so fully without any explicit scenes, but she did, and I'm impressed!
Steamy without being explicit, but also funny and adorable, I'd definitely recommend Practice Makes Perfect!

Just lovely! Such a fun plot, with lovable characters that I couldn't help swooning over. I flew through the pages and overall had a great time. I also really appreciated the communication between the main characters and the way their relationship developed naturally for the characters — if a bit insta-lovey and "let's get married" too early, which is one of my movie pet peeves even if it doesn't crop up as much in books. Yet something tells me I won't remember it in a few weeks… which is sad, because it had favorite potential. Still, I have nothing negative to say — I definitely recommend!

I don’t have a whole lot to say about this one but I believe it could’ve been condensed and edited. The author treats the reader as kind of dumb, explaining the background in asides as often as possible, it made it difficult to read honestly. I don’t think I’ll read anything else from this author. Also, irrelevant and no way influences what I say here on my review but the smex scenes weren’t smexy at all in fact they were rather brief. And I’m not expecting erotica but you can’t build us all up with slow burn for a two paragraph passion piece. I’m a little heated since I just finished this but I feel like my opinion won’t change even after a bit.

Amazing. I’m crying and swooning and everything. This book was fun from the first page and I adored the Annie and Will (and the rest of the cast of course!). The humor is plucky and I really related to Annie. This romance was genuinely so sweet and tender, and I loved seeing Annie and Will both grow throughout. The perfect fluffy romance that fades to black.
