This is a great debut novel. I’ve become a bit jaded when it comes to romances; they all seem to follow the same formula. But this was the book of the month for a Goodreads discussion group I belong to, so I read it.. and was pleasantly surprised.
This book stands out from other romances for several reasons. One is the realistic character development. The main characters have areas of their lives where they are quite confident, and others where they are not so secure. Even the secondary character ...more

3.5 out of 5 stars
I liked this book, but since Rome was mentioned in the title, I really wanted more of the book to be set there. I liked the characters (Rosie was my fave), and I thought the story picked up once it moved to Rome. While I thought the scenes in England gave a good sense of place, I was disappointed in some of the Rome sequence because I didn't quite feel like I was "there."

I'm not a big romance reader, but I wanted to read one of get an better idea of the genre and the expectations. I was impressed. There's a continual, plausible disruption to Nico and Bronte's relationship and Rosie is a great source of comedy.
The ending was a twist I wasn't expecting. It was getting down to the last part of the book and I was wondering how things were going to get tied up neatly, but they do!

Loved it! Great character definition. The relationship between Nico and Bronte is hot! But it's so much more than just the sex. They both have a passion for their businesses, family, friends - life in general. While the past has definitely influenced each of them, they don't let it hold them back. Even the supporting characters are well developed with unique voices. The pacing is great. In fact, I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. This book is well written and edited. I can't wait
