This was my first book by Sarah Adams and I really enjoyed it. I like dual points of view and knowing exactly what both main characters are thinking. I'm glad I read this and I will be seeing what her other books look like.

Never do I ever seek out closed-door romance, but, goodness, I loved this story. I went into this one mostly blind based on a recommendation from a friend, and I’m so glad I did. This pop-star-meets-small-town romance was utterly charming. Every character was well-written in this slow-burn, grumpy sunshine romance. The plot was entraining and generally low angst. I’m eager to read more by this new-to-me author.

I started this series mainly because I want to read Practice makes Perfect in February and needed to read this first lol I didn’t except to love it because I wasn’t obsessed with the Cheat Sheet but this one pleasantly surprised me. 

We’re following Amelia (Rae Rose) as she tries to escape her pop star reality and rediscover her love for music. She’s stressed about her career and feeling used by everyone in her life, so she takes inspiration from Audrey Hepburn and goes to Rome… Kentucky. However, her mission is stalled when her car breaks down next to a random man’s house. In enters Noah. He’s small town pie shop owner and grumpy from past relationship failures. He refuses to fall for another visitor, but Amelia is more than he bargained for. His family loves her and his town wants her to stay. She’s torn between her career and Noah, and needs to figure out how to balance it all or choose between the two. 

Loved the small town vibes and side characters. Cannot wait for Noah’s sister to get her book. She’s adorable and sweet as can be. I think her love story will be sooooo sweet!!
