Admittedly, a familiar plot, but likeable characters, humor, and an overall sweetness make this a fun read. World-famous singer, Amelia, (Rae Rose to her fans), has had enough of the demanding career and being told what to do by her manager, and just wants a break before her next world tour. As is her norm, she finds solace in Audrey Hepburn movies and takes it as a sign from Roman Holiday that she should go to Rome. Since driving to Italy is not possible, the map shows her Rome, KY is the most feasible, so she escapes into the night, telling none of her entourage. Her car then breaks down off the highway in the front yard of Noah, just outside of Rome, coincidentally. Good guy that he is, he offers to help, and when it ends up taking 2 weeks for her car to be repaired, they get to know each other, she meets the townspeople and his family, they fall for each other, etc. It seems like impossible obstacles stand in the way of them having any kind of future, plus they both have things to overcome from their pasts. Somewhat predictable but sweet characters and still a fun story.
