Pop star Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her fans, is burned out from maintaining her public image and needs a break. So the Audrey Hepburn-loving international pop sensation takes a Roman Holiday of her own and escapes to the closest Rome she can find—which happens to be the tiny town of Rome, Kentucky. Her car breaks down in Noah Walker’s front lawn when she arrives. Noah agrees to help her, but makes it clear he doesn’t have time for celebrity problems. Yet as Noah gets to know the real Amelia, he can’t help but fall for her. Amelia loves the cozy town and her grumpily charming tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.
This book was so sweet! I haven’t read anything else by Adams before and now I’ll have to add more of her books to my TBR. The characters were so well developed and I loved the dual point of view. The setting in the small town was so cute and homey. I loved all of the side characters and their relationships with Amelia and Noah were so sweet. The beginning of the story seemed a little unrealistic to me (like who would stay the night in a stranger’s house after their car breaks down what the heck) but that was the only thing that bothered me and it was easier to overlook after getting more into the plot. This was a quick and cute read!
