Why read it?

2 authors picked When in Rome as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was a cute romance book (closed door). I loved the characters that got introduced and the pacing of the story. I always enjoy a good grumpy/sunshine duo. After I finished I added the next book to my "TBR" list.

I loved this book by Sarah Adams; it made me laugh out loud on an airplane. Cue odd looks from seatmates.

Sarah’s voice is fresh and original, so funny, yet sweet and sexy. I particularly adored her hero because he was masculine but not overly macho. He is a brother with three sisters. The family has a close, charming dynamic. The secondary characters made me hope for future books!
