Sarah Adams' When In Rome (#1,097) is a romcom worth passing along. The set up here is a pop princess who implodes from stress on the eve of a world tour. Since Rae Rose has always related to Audrey Hepburn, she randomly chooses one of her favorite movies: Roman Holiday, to emulate. (It's one of my favorites, too.)
In case you're not familiar with the plot, Audrey plays Princess Ann, in Rome for an important diplomatic event. Stifled by the court etiquette and always having to do and say the "right thing" she throws a slight temper tantrum. Her courtiers' solution is to sedate her slightly to calm her down. Ann's so calm, in fact, that she escapes the Embassy and sets out on her own adventure in the mean streets of Rome. Fortunately, she's recognized by a reporter (played by Gregory Peck) assigned to her visit who takes her under his wing. Audrey is able to have the adventure of her life while the two fall hard for each other. In the end, though, both Joe and Princess Ann realize that they must return to their real lives. It's a bittersweet ending.
Amelia Rae Rose decides to run off to the closest Rome she can find from Nashville - Rome, Kentucky. And she's certainly looking for a happier ending than Audrey got. When the old clunker car she's had for ages finally gives up the ghost, she's in the middle of nowhere. When Noah Walker comes knocking at her car window, Amelia thinks her own time has come! But he just wants to know why she's parked in his front yard. Of course, one thing leads to another, but can there be a happy ending for this pop princess and her pie-baking Prince Charming? You'll just have to read When In Rome to find out!
