Sarah Adams
my review : ✮✮✮✮
GAH! This book. This is just an incredibly sweet romance that left me a bit glowy. I must admit that I found myself tearing through this at midnight, and I was like, "What the hell am I doing!?" So… proceed with caution.
Our story can be read standalone, but it is technically book two of the “When In Rome” series. It follows Annie Walker, a flower shop owner and small-town sweetheart. Annie hasn't had much luck in the dating department, but she knows she inevitably wants the white-picket-fence marriage-and-babies life. Unfortunately, she feels like she's just not good at dating, so her happily ever after feels very far away. Enter Will Griffin, a totally hot bodyguard tasked with guarding Annie's future sister-in-law and global pop star, Amelia Rose (read book 1 for more on that!). On paper, Will is Annie's polar opposite: tattooed, intimidating, and vehemently opposed to all things related to commitment. Since they're so incompatible, Amelia decides Will is the perfect person to teach Annie how to date. Can you see where this is going?!!?
When I started this book, I simply could not put it down. I found the story to be so delightful, refreshing, and butterfly-inducing. This is a quick read, perfect for romance lovers looking to get out of a reading slump. Sarah Adams is the master of the sweet, happy-ending romance, and I will be anxiously awaiting her next release. I liked this even better than When in Rome!
How could I NOT pair this book with a floral cocktail? Swipe for Annie’s Flower Drop recipe! Cheers 🌸
P.S. closed-door romance! Not a B.R.A.D. (IMO, it could benefit from being a B.R.A.D., lol!)
you’ll love this book if you love:
Small town romance
Fake dating
my favorite quote:
“I’ve never wanted to crawl into someone’s head and read all of their thoughts like I do with Annie. My need to understand her, to know every desire, every hope and fear and longing, scares me.”
