When in Rome is a wonderful cozy romcom that had me giggling and craving pancakes way too often. It is a fun read and the characters show constant development, overcoming their initial fears and hold-backs.
I started this book without having read the blurb carefully and thought Amelia “Rae” Rose actually flees to Rome, Italy. Instead I discovered she settles for Rome, Kentucky. However, even if I wanted an Italian Romance, I ended up falling in love with this small town romance in the charming town of Rome.
Both Amelia and Noah had amazing POVs and I can proudly say this was the first romcom I’ve read in a while that didn’t make me want to put my book down from second hand embarrassment. The dialogue and story flows easily and most importantly it is very realistic!
Overall I loved it and I can’t wait to read the stories of Noah’s three sisters! I can already assume who the love interest will be for each

This was a light, fun read. I liked the characters and the little town of Rome. Wish it had been a touch more spicy.

When in Rome delivers a delightful mix of romance tropes — grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and the famous-person/normal-person dynamic — wrapped up in a cozy small-town setting. When burned-out pop star Rae Rose lands in Rome, Kentucky, she ends up staying with a pie shop owner who wants nothing to do with celebrity life. What follows is a charming, slow-burn romance full of flirty banter, heartfelt moments, and two people discovering how well they fit together despite their very different worlds.

I devoured this! It was so stinkin’ cute! 🫶🏻 I’m doing a tandem collective read and I’m not sure I would’ve picked this one up anytime soon, but I’m so glad I did!
I really loved everything about it. It was sweet, funny, swoony, and light. Sometimes ya just need that, right? This was my first book by Sarah Adams and I’m here for whatever she writes now! LOVE! It made me feel all kinds of good and happy inside. ☺️
I also love the title and how it correlates with the book. Rome, Kentucky sounds like such a cute and cozy place! Noah and Amelia (Rae Rose is her pop star name) are super cute and cozy too. Again, I just loved everything about this read. 🩷
