Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams is the second book in the When I’m Rome series. However it could be read as a standalone. 

Will and Annie are too freaking cute! Bad boy Will and good girl Annie are open and honest, they communicate, and they are perfect! Read this if you like Audrey Hepburn references, adore flower shop owners, find tattooed bodyguards named Will hot, and are down for some educational fake dating! 

Annie Walker wants a husband and she wants to live as her authentic self. She feels stuck in a box she didn’t mean to put herself in. On a date from hell, she overhears the guy call her boring and she decides it’s time to brush up on her dating skills. Enter Will Griffin. Will is Annie’s soon to be sister-in-law’s bodyguard (see When in Rome, book #1) all he wants is to do his job and avoid attachments. However, he has a soft spot for Annie and he’s not sure why. He agrees to help Annie hone her dating skills but what do you know, along the way he learns that maybe having attachments aren’t so bad after all. Will and Annie both have a lot of things to work through and they do it all while being open and honest with each other. This was a fun and fast paced read, the perfect steamy, yet not steamy romance. Sarah’s books are closed door and she’s perfected the art of a hot closed door romance! Her books are full of all that glorious tension you’d find in an open door romance. I love this series and I can’t wait to read more from Rome, Kentucky!
