When in Rome, is about Amelia a pop music star who decides to follow her idol Audrey Hepburn movie and travel to Rome, but since Rome, Italy is a little out of the realm of possibilities she settles for Rome, Kentucky. On her way into town her car breaks down in the front yard of, Noah’s house. Noah is a grumpy pie shop owner with 3 sisters and they are all close. Noah learns to let his guard down and lets himself be vulnerable and Amelia needs to learn to reconnect with herself. I really enjoyed this book, I loved the family, small town nosiness and build to the relationship. I felt that the ending was a little rushed in this one and it needed to be flushed out a bit more but it’s still a solid romance.
