I loved this book, it was so so good. Noah is the sweetest guy and Amelia is the coolest girl, they are amazing! Such a good, lighthearted read :)

Funny banter. Forced proximity romance. Insta-love-connection. Grumpy meets sunshine. I thought the topic discussed in the book were done very well. I hope the other Walker sisters get their own love story (cough, cough, hint, hint, Sarah Adams).

A wonderful book about escaping from reality for a famous pop star who’s burnt out.  Wanting to go to Rome she settled for the next best thing, Rome, Kentucky. 

When the car burns out in Noah’s yard begins a fiery slow ish burn love story.  

Both riddled with trust issues and having lived very different lives this story sees them work through and overcome that.  Bond with family and battle their issues with each others support.
