À propos de cet audio

 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

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

“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

“Sarah Adams has written the Kentucky-set homage to Roman Holiday I never knew I needed. Full of cozy small-town vibes, a pie-baking hero (swoon!), and a slow-burn romance that will keep you flipping the pages, When in Rome is a charming and comforting escape.”—Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks

I love Sarah Adams' books. This one is no exception; I really enjoyed this audio version!

Another great book

I was really looking forward to this new rom-com by Sarah Adams especially after reading The Cheat Sheet. That book was so good & so cute.

I really wanted to like this one - the narrators were great. I read some reviewers who didn't like the male narrator - not sure why - I thought he was actually really good - both female & male narrators were great. Unfortunately, the storyline just fell flat.

I feel like if there was a bit more history between the MCs, it might feel more real (ie maybe have the characters know each other over a couple of months instead of a couple of weeks) - just couldn't connect with the romance because it was not realistic at all. I know this is fiction but there has been some elements to reality for readers to connect to it.

Overall, I would rate this read a 2.5 stars

Loved it

The story is really cute and light. The female narrator is great. But I just hate when male narrator try to do « female voices » for female characters. It just sound ridiculous and like everything is a joke. They shouldn’t do that. But other than that, it was great.

Really great story

It feels very naive. It’s also pg… maybe pg-13. The chemistry between the characters is thready. Very fluffy book.

Weak storyline
