Review: Enjoyable romance, but could have used more Rome in it
Rating: 4 out of 5

3.5 out of 5 starsI 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." There were some good scenes during that part that redeemed it though. More attention to setting would have made this book more enjoyable for me. (I love Italy and have been there twice, so I'm very attracted to books that are set there because I like reliving the experience.) Overall, an enjoyable story, and I liked the teaser for the next book, which is set in Spain. I love European locales, so I plan to read that one too.
