A review by 100_pages_hr
When in Rome by Sarah Adams

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

Adams has written some of my favorite closed door romance so I was excited for this one. I loved the opposites attract and small town aspects of this book. I especially loved how the town rallied behind her and protected her. I also enjoyed grumpy Noah. In real life I couldn't do it but in a book I love a grumpy hero.

If you've sometimes wanted just a little more steam with the door still closed from Adams I feel like she really delivered in this one. There is a lot of chemistry and sexual tension and it really heats up but stays off page.

I personally struggled with the celebrity trope, but I think if you enjoy that trope you'll especially love this book. 

I did love Noah though. He is a great family guy, a great small town community member, and quite swoon worthy.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
