Resumen del Editor

Opposites certainly attract for the stranded pop star and small-town baker in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.

“This modern take on the Hepburn classic Roman Holiday is a quick, fun, slow-burn rom-com.”—Abby Jimenez, bestselling author of The Friend Zone

ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own.

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.

Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

“Sarah Adams’s books are woven with pure sunshine and rainbows. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and R. S. Grey, When in Rome is a slice of delight that will leave you smiling until your face hurts. It’s everything you could want in a small-town romance, along with a heaping dollop of her signature wit and sparkling charm.”—Amy Lea, author of Set on You

“My Audrey Hepburn-loving heart is so happy! When in Rome is a delectable romance, sweet and satisfying as a slice of warm apple pie.”—Chloe Liese, author of the Bergman Brothers series

“You can always count on a Sarah Adams rom-com to be equal parts funny, sweet, and swoony. When in Rome is all that and more with characters who will make you wish they were your friends, a quirky town you’ll want to visit, and a romance you’ll want to read again and again.”—Sophie Sullivan, author of Ten Rules for Faking It

So fun.

I loved this cute story! I am so excited for the next in the series!

A story sweet as maple syrup

A sweet, lighthearted story. Great shortish read if you’re in-between books. The only thing missing is a recipe for one of Noah’s pies. Yum!

A Perfect Reverse Hallmark

The small town atmosphere was so well written and likable you can’t help but fall in love with the town

Enjoyed it

I was looking for something romantic to listen in February💕and this did not disappoint. I am ready to start the second one in this series.

Sweet Love Story

I am always a fan of Sarah Adams work, but this book has quickly become one of my favorites. The characters were so easy to relate with and root for.

My heart is overflowing with joy

This book now has a special place in my heart.
I was skeptical going in, but this book was exactly what I needed and what I love about this author. It is the best kind of rom-com: full of rom, full of com - I awwwwed, I LOLed, it was full of heart, it had just the right amount of depth for this sort of book, and it was pretty clean too which is my very favorite kind! My enjoyment levels were off the charts.
Thank you Sarah Adams 🙏🏻❤️

A Feel Good Book!

I found myself laughing out loud with this book. It reminded me of the movie Sweet Home Alabama. The writing and performing is fantastic and kept me absolutely hooked. Just a feel good story that will leave you smiling.

Sarah Adams NEVER disappoints!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Funny & sexy without going overly sexy. Loved the quirky characters and the small town feel. It truly felt like I was part of the town. Sarah Adams is quickly becoming one of my top 5 rom-com authors! Well done! Will probably be listening to/ reading this one again!
