Dear Bookstagrammers,

Trust you are well and in good health!

Thanks to bookstagrammers.com and bonniecallahanbooks, I've read this beautiful book, Remy and Rome. I immediately fell in love with it because it is situated in my favorite country, Rome. When I read this book, I was passing through a difficult situation in my life and the book made it easy to escape a little and found myself in the beautiful Eternal City. This review is my opinion and spoiler free.

Remy, the character of our story found herself in Rome, the place where she shared her first kiss. She was in Rome to rediscover herself when she agrees to go on a date with a total Italian stranger. Little did she know that that stranger was a wanted international criminal. Remy finds herself under house arrest with the protection of charming Lorenzo Rossi, a Sicilian detective in charge of this investigation. She agrees to help and thus, they must solve a series of clues to track down this criminal. In order to do this, she must face Fabio, the international criminal together with a very persistent ex-boyfriend, Eric.

I won't spoil anything else but I highly recommend this book to all those who love the romance genre. It is such a sweet book and it is written in such simplicity yet very descriptive. This book will literally take you around Rome since the site descriptions are very faithful to what one could find in the Eternal City. It is a fast-paced book that will hook you immediately to the story. I spent hours even during my suppose sleep-time reading to uncover what will happen next. I truly loved the characters, especially the main protagonists. I adored how the story progresses. I give this book a solid 4 and a half stars!

I couldn't put it down

I started reading this and finished it in one day! The two simultaneous mysteries intertwined with romance had me screaming for more. If you love Romance or cozy mysteries this book is for you. A beautiful blend of both worlds.

Remy vs Rome had it all - a forbidden romance, starting over on a new life's journey, adventuring through the roads of Rome, and learning about Italy's long historical past. Remy found herself in Italy after a broken engagement, on a trip with her friend, to try and find herself again. Truth be told, Remy has always loved Italy, especially Rome. Rome gave her various adventures to help her figure out what kind of person she wanted to become again.

This book was the sweetest and included everything that I love in a book. I am so fortunate that I was able to read it before the release date. Go check it out now, you won't regret it!

3.5

I’m going to keep it real with y’all. This is the first book I’ve read since the beginning of the month 😅 

And I had such HIGH hopes for this book. But it didn’t quite reach all of the hopes. Unfortunately it wasn’t anything like I was expecting. Remy felt very childish and not very mature for her age. I didn’t like what she does to Eric throughout the series. She has terrible communication with people she’s close with, and seems to be wayyy to trusting. 

I also didn’t like Lorenzo very much, he seemed too secretive about everything. 

But the plot and storyline was amazing. I loved how we got taken through the events and how we get to see them not give up, regardless of the situation.

Thank you to the author for the gifted ebook of REMY VS. ROME!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Remy arrives in Rome determined to heal her broken heart.  She falls for the first hot Italian man she finds and she quickly realizes he is not what she bargained for.  Now Remy is wrapped up in an international crime and under police protection.  As she works with Detective Lorenzo Rossi, she must also try to hide the feelings that she is starting to have for him.

Poor Remy has the absolute worst luck, but it's hilarious to read about her adventures.  I like that this book isn't just an American going to Italy to fall in love with an Italian man.  The mystery adds a sense of adventure to Remy's rom com that I really enjoyed!

I recommend if you are in the mood for a funny romance set in Italy!
