Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.

When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own.

Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.

Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

This is everything you want from a grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity sweet romance:
– A likeable grump
– An adversarial sunshine
– Interfering sisters
– Lots of steam but no spice

This book kept me up all night because I needed to see how Amelia and Noah made it work (because you know they’re going to make it work). Their chemistry is fantastic, and his family is delightful. It’s completely appropriate that Noah bakes pies for a living, because he’s almost too sweet to handle.

If you want to get lost in a closed-door romance with all the swoon, I highly recommend this book. A must-read for fans of Courtney Walsh and Leah Dobrinska.

Rated PG.
