When in Rome | 
pickI enjoyed this #littensloveromance read last month. Celebrity romances are hit or miss for me, but I liked that this focused on Amelia's internal struggles with fame and her journey to finding herself again. I loved the small town setting and will return for the rest of the series

I‘ve been very bad and slow about posting on Litsy.
Here‘s my review: loved the story, it was a quick read. I was glad to get back to Rome, KY. Amelia and Noah were too cute trying not to be attracted to each other. I‘m sooo glad they were willing to try each other‘s lifestyles to make it work between them!
pickI loved characters, I felt for Amelia who was so alone in the world and forgot who she really was. Noah was lovely & grumpy with a golden heart.
This was super cozy book and I adored the setting - even though it didn't feel 100 % believable. I mean small towns have their darker sides too.
This was an easy going story, super predictable but still enjoyable. Maybe some things were solved a bit too suddenly/easily.

pick#LittensLoveRomance Ch.35-end/review: I‘m so glad Noah‘s sister smacked some sense into him and instead of sabotaging his relationship he went to see Amelia. It was a great ending and a nice big gesture on his part (buying the iPhone too❤️). I really liked this book even though it was definitely a slow burn lots of pining type of romance. I fell in love with the town too, and the quirky people. I will definitely be heading back to Rome, Kentucky.
The tagged book, When in Rome, is based off of the movie shown, Roman Holiday.
Has anyone seen this movie?
I haven‘t.
Another book I‘m reading, Big Great Beautiful Life, has also mentioned this same movie!
What are the odds that two books at the same time have mentioned the same movie?!
pickI really enjoyed this romance and characters. Thanks to our host @StayCurious #LittensLoveRomance #ISpyBingoOct @TheAromaofBooks #Read2025 @DieAReader
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.33-34: finally Amelia and Noah have it out and decide that yes! they do want to be together. hallelujah! But then those damn paparazzi show up and surprise, Susan comes to the rescue. A bit convenient. Amelia speaks to her mom, and realizes Susan has been the villain in the piece for a while. She acknowledges that she‘s given the woman too much power over her - but no more. ⬇️
pickThis was a cute and fun read! It had me smiling from beginning to end. Now it's time for me to watch Roman Holiday.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.31-32: well they took things to the next level. Better to have loved and lost is their thinking. YOLO and all that. Honestly- there‘s no going back now! They were already in love. Now they‘ve only cemented their feelings. I get that Noah was hurt but him comparing Amelia so much to Merritt is doing her a disservice.
pickA very sweet romance with no spice, a grumpy man, an evil assistant/manager and Taylor Swift vibes ( imo) #littensloveromance
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.29-30: I love you, but you‘re leaving so that‘s that. Ugh Noah! Don‘t be a sad Gregory Peck! Fight for your girl and your happiness! Will he chase her when she leaves like the final scene in a romantic movie? Or will he just let her walk away?
pickVery cute! This is my 3rd Sarah Adams book and they‘ve all been delightful. She may be an auto buy romance author for me going forward!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.27-28: just as Amelia has fallen into the feelings pool, so have we. I think I‘d pick Noah every time. Amelia needs to talk to him about her feelings and maybe the two of them can figure out how to make a relationship work. It‘s clear they both don‘t want their time to end. Make it work!
pickThis was so sweet… predictable but in the best way a romance can be!!
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.25-26: I‘m very much enjoying this book and their mutual pining, then denying. But I think it‘s about time for another kiss at the very least. Stop teasing us so much! Also, he pushed her into the lake - here‘s hoping she didn‘t have her phone on her. Although at this point- that might be a relief. I wonder what happened to the paparazzi guy that was snooping around.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.23-24: Amelia needs to channel her inner Audrey and get courage to do what she really wants for once. It might not have worked out for the princess in Roman Holiday but that doesn‘t mean it can‘t work out for Amelia and Noah. Of course, she‘d have to stand up to and put a stop to Susan first. Hire Claire instead maybe? And find out everything that has been going on behind her back. Easier said than done.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.21-22: I really like the people in Rome. I hope they continue to protect Amelia from those paparazzi jerks. But I do feel as though things are coming to a close for her vacation, and soon. Also, Susan is linked to all the unsavoury things her mom does. I hope Amelia realizes maybe her mom is innocent in all this.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.19-20: I found it cute that the townspeople are so invested in Noah - telling Amelia about his past (right in front of him haha) - you really can‘t be overly upset with them. They mean well. I‘m hoping that her hair transformation goes well. Here‘s hoping she doesn‘t end up looking like an 80‘s country star.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.17-18: I love the flirty banter btw these two. They clearly like each other and have chemistry. But man, is Noah fighting it. Come on, give in. Talk to each other about what you both really want - from each other but also out of life. Before things blow up for Amelia and she has to leave.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.15-16: I still feel bad for Amelia. Noah knows she‘s lonely. He offers to spend time with her. And yet he leaves her alone all night so he can go hang with his sisters. I understand it‘s their tradition but couldn‘t an exception have been made? He still doesn‘t want her getting too entwined in his life. I wonder what will be the tipping point where he realizes he needs to ask her to stay.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13-14: who are these two kidding? Just friends. Bah. How long will that last? Noah already admitted he cares for Amelia - their one kiss knocked their socks off - I don‘t think these two are destined for friendship. But it‘s nice that he‘s willing to be around her now. This is progress. I do think though that Susan is going to track her down (she texted her location to her mom) and ruin things. Susan feels like a “ruiner”.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-12: Noah is so sweet once we break through his tough shell. He‘s finally allowing Amelia in - I sure hope these two don‘t hurt each other because I think they need each other. Here‘s hoping Amelia can get over her embarrassment over this night and she gets closer to Noah. But Monday is coming soon - what‘s the game plan once feelings get involved?
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: Noah is slipping - from Surly Guy to Kissing Guy back to Surly Guy…giving mixed signals but Amelia is there for it. Well maybe not the kissing because Susan wouldn‘t approve. Susan seems like the core cause of Amelia‘s problems - I worry Susan wasn‘t truthful about her mom and she may have caused the rift there. Maybe she wanted to control Amelia and wanted her mom out of the way.
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Mabel is an interfering lady but she clearly has Noah‘s best interests at heart. It was funny how he was so mad at her for refusing a room to Amelia but he knew he couldn‘t do anything - he was outmatched. Poor Amelia - Susan seems like a pill. I‘m sad that they have both lost their joy in music and got sucked into the drawbacks of the industry.⬇️
#fridayhappyreadinghour Cheers Litsy Peeps! I hope this weekend brings you all the reading time you need ❤️ this #littensloveromance is delightful and hard to not inhale in a single sitting
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: oh boy, Mr Surly Pose strikes and it‘s a bit mean. There they were, bonding over pancakes, and then he realizes what he‘s doing and pushes Amelia away. Poor girl. She‘s attracted and he‘s looking for the escape hatch. Here‘s hoping the townsfolk work together to keep bringing these two together. At least to give them a bit of a chance.⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.3-4: first of all, Amelia is pretty cute in her dealings with the surly Noah. It will be nice to see him warm up to her - though we did catch glimpses of amusement from him at her antics. Secondly, this town sounds like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls - everyone is up in your business. Some people love that - and then there‘s Noah. ⬇️
#LittensLoveRomance Ch.1-2: Good start so far; I like Noah, but seems as though he‘s been put through the wringer by a woman or women in the past. Enough that he‘s a bit jaded. Amelia is lost emotionally and needs to find her way. I think she definitely needs self care and R&R. But in her life, it seems like there will be consequences for taking time off. ⬇️

pickThis was sweet! Predictable, but it's a romance, so of course it is. A perfect brain-cleansing read.
⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
so-soInspired by her favorite film “When in Rome,” Pop Princess Amelia runs away to a small town where she meets grumpy baker Noah. As much as Noah tries to stay away from her, he can‘t help but be near her. Will Amelia go back to her old life?
This one was cute. I just didn‘t like the slow-burn, even though I know in this one it was necessary. This one was actually necessary, but I wanted a little more spice. I did like the ending.
pickThis was cute. Not a five star read for me, but still enjoyed it.
pickI enjoyed reading this book a lot!!! It was a sweet romance. I loved the characters so much! I rated this book a 3.75 out of 5 stars.
pickA cute, light, and fun read. Fade to black spice level. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
My daughter bought this new cozy blanket, it says “Believe in Magic”, so cute!!! I‘m gonna start When In Rome since it‘s a library book and it‘s due by the end of the week and then I‘ll go back to the Dreamland Billionaires. Oh, that‘s a good series. So saucy and the main character, dreamy! I plan to buy the hardcovers on the other series. I‘ll get back to you on this one. I‘ve heard it‘s good. #summerreads #cozyblankets #romcom #newromance
Ready for something a little lighter…I‘m using this for Kentucky in the Book Girls‘ Guide Reading Around The US book challenge.
#boookspinbingo
pickCute and funny story of a stressed out country star hiding out in a small town to find the joy in her music again. Shenanigans ensue and she gals for the big, burly . . . pie shop owner? This one was heavy on quirky town characters and light on spice. Perfect commuter book on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Pantone2023 #SpringCrocus
Amelia is a pop star in dire need of a break, so following Audrey Hepburn‘s lead, she flees to Rome. Except Italy is kinda far and there‘s a Rome, Kentucky nearby sooo. When Noah finds a pop star in her broken down car in his front yard, he can‘t believe this is happening to him. Amelia ends up staying in his guest room and well, when in rome….
spice level is non-existent so that‘s a boo but such a quick read and very cute and sweet
pickSuch a fast and fun read, perfect palate cleanser from all the death and murder I‘m usually reading. This has game art, warmth, and humour. Spicy level zero though.
pickAfter reading a murder mystery, I needed a light romance novel - it‘s the holidays! Rockstar Rae needed a break from her lifestyle, and following Audrey Hepburn, flees to Rome - Kentucky. She escapes but sparks fly between her and Noah, the grumpy hottie that‘s letting her stay in his home. Grumpy/sunshine is my weakness, and the chemistry between the two characters is great. A fun, quick, lighthearted read!
pickA fun, flirty romance by a local Nashville author. A perfect little vacation book.
pickA soft pick. It was cute and I really want my own Noah. And while I enjoyed this overall, I felt there really wasn‘t enough conflict. I kept waiting for something, some misunderstanding or external event, to happen to drive them apart but it never did. But still an easy, light-hearted read.
pickSarah Adams has yet to write a book I don't love, they are just so cute. A grumpy(whose also super soft)-sunshine small town romance what more could I ask for.
