When in Rome by Sarah Adams

Amelia Rose, known to the world as the pop star Rae, just needs a break. Her manager, her support, the person who helped make her who she is, is not listening to her. So she runs away. And, based on her love of Audrey Hepburn movies, decides to take her own holiday and she heads to the closest Rome. Which happens to be in Kentucky. Too bad her car craps out in the yard of a very tall, very grumpy man.
Noah Walker is sort of startled to find a pop star on his lawn. He definitely understands the need to get away for awhile but he doesn't want her sleeping in his house. He ends up bending enough for her to stay for the weekend. His sisters would like her to stay for longer because she makes him smile. But can a big star and a small town guy really make it work?
This was a cute story but it took me awhile to get into it and I can't quite put my finger own why.

The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams

Bree Camden and Nathan Donelson thought they would conquer their respective worlds. Nate achieved his dreams but Bree's were shattered by a car accident. Now he's an NFL quarterback and she's teaching ballet to an underserved populations (which she loves but it's not exactly the prima ballerina goal she thought she would achieve.) They're still best friends and have each other's backs in all situations. Nate even dumps an influencer who is rude to Bree. That influencer turns around and implies heavily that Nate has problems getting it up. One drunken night later and Bree has defended Nate to the point where people are now 'shipping them. And Nate's publicist sees this as an opportunity. 

This was a fun story that took the friends-to-lovers trope and tweaked it just enough to make it fun to read. Weirdly, I wish we had gotten a few more side characters because this book was so narrowly focused on Bree and Nate but overall a fun read.

Four stars
