When in Rome: A Novel
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. Look for all of Sarah Adams's When in Rome books:

This title was very cute! This was my second Sarah Adams novel and my favorite so far! I really enjoy a good âbig time artist falls in love in small townâ.
For a closed door romance, this kept me really interested and wanting to listen. Noah and Amelia/Raeâs strangers/enemies to lovers story is one I would definitely recommend to romance readers that want something light hearted and fun!

This was my first book by Sarah Adams, and she has quickly become one of my new favorite authors. 🫶 This book was cute and charming, a feel good romance novel. I loved everything about it, and the ties to Audrey Hepburn made it that much better for me! This may very well be in my top 10 favorite books I have read so far. Definitely recommend! 🫶
I liked this book so much more than Cheat Sheet. Amelia and Noah were perfect together. Noah was the sweetest man. The rift between Amelia and her mom was a little unbelievable but I rolled with it because I was enjoying the rest of the book.
Finally done with this incredible book! Such a moving, emotional, roller coaster of a story, in the best way possible! I have never highlighted so much in a book before. Literally highlighted entire
pages. Such amazing characters, with beautiful & moving stories. The chemistry between Amelia & Noah is just chiefs kiss! (Or bakers kiss). They way that Amelia found herself was just beautiful! & how Noah worked through his trauma & pain was so moving. I truly think Amelia & Noah bring out the best in each other. I love Noah’s relationship with his sisters, you can really see how close they are & it is just amazing! I love the way that Amelia figured out everything that was going on with Susan, & how Claire really looked out for her. & I loved the story between Amelia and her mom. That part really spoke to me. It had so many little story’s combined in one big beautiful story that just fit so well together. This story just really progressed so smoothly. For me it would be so hard to make this all fit together but I think Sarah Adams did such a beautiful job! This book makes me believe in love & how things can come together so perfectly! I don’t know how she does it but I truly think this is Sarah Adams best book so far!
