Practice Makes Perfect: The new friends-to-lovers rom-com from the author of ...

**4.5-5 Stars** This is book two in the ‘When in Rome Series’ it was a brilliant, cosy and hilarious read. I enjoyed it so much that I found myself re-reading chapters for the fun of it. Rome in Kentucky seems to be filled with a bucket load of hilarious characters. I also recommend adding the audio I laughed so much about this town and the people who get so much into your business. This for me pipped book one as I fell in love with Annie, she is the youngest sister of Noah from book one. There are 3 sisters and she is the one who owns a flower shop and virtually blends into the background. Her Sister in law to be Amelia is a pop star and has requested her usual bodyguard Will to be with them leading up-to and including the wedding Annie has never had a good date and the one she is on is no different. She is not used to saying much and cannot find the words to connect with him. Yet, she finds it so easy to relate to Will but believes he is out of her league. Will hates commitment due to the upbringing he had with his parents and their serial cheating and constant arguments making his and his brother’s life hell. There are so many laugh out loud moments and Amelia her sister in law to be spots a spark between the two. So she comes up with a plan to get Will to be Annie’s practice date, the idea is that Will has to show Annie where she is going wrong and give her tips ……… Both think of it as a bad idea and then all the fun begins. What a hoot and I absolutely loved how Annie came out of her shell and how Will wrestles with himself that he will never fall in love trying to convince himself that he will finish this job and leave the town by keeping Annie at arms length. I just sat back and enjoyed the journey with the outrageous busy bodies thrown in lol

I just finished this a few hours ago and needed to post the review. This was just so cute and such a good standalone romance! It was fun, lighthearted, filled with swoon worthy moments from the get go and there's a fair amount of character development that is deeper than you'd expect from a lighthearted romance. Both the FMC and MMC have their own insecurities and troubles that they slowly overcome, not just as a pair but individually as they figure out what's going on between them. The banter and tension between the MMC and FMC had me squealing and there were some truly relatable moments from the FMC that had me truly laughing out loud. I don't usually read these sorts of books but it was just so great that I just may have to pick up some more!

Read the first book in the series (when in Rome) and Sarah Adam’s has disappointed with the second, another swoon worthy MMc. Enjoyed the story, and the characters can’t wait to read the third book and I believe the forth is out in December

Good in parts though the constant dwelling on Annie's lack of experience was unnecessary and began to make me feel a little uneasy.

Gorgeous book, i was already invested in the story due to reading When in Rome and this book didn't disappoint. Florist Annie is determined to find her perfect match, but after a disastrous date which she was branded boring she decides to find herself a dating teacher, que sexy and tattooed bodyguard Will. Annie soon realises that maybe the life that she had dreamt of was not necessarily ideal for her, working with Will her confidence soars and she soon is wanting more out of life and doesn't want to be known as the sweet innocent sister. Will is desperate to leave the sleepy town of Rome as it is not exciting enough but working with Annie makes him also reevaluate his priorities. Ah i just loved this plenty of laughs and even a few tears but definitely alot of swooning!!! ❤️

“I am the quiet one in my family. The one with her nose always in a book because she prefers worlds where she doesn’t have to interact with other humans. It’s so much easier to read about relationships than to foster them. Less dangerous too.” This book was PERFECT It hit home, it was beautiful, breathtaking and heartbreakingly real. Something about small town romances just fill a hole in my heart. Add in a bit of fake dating / teaching and it’s perfection. Annie and Will have my heart. It felt like reading about my best friends, my siblings, my family. The broken and true feelings that these two experienced just touched me. I’ve never felt a book hit as home as this one in a while. Annie is me. I am Annie. even down to the nickname AnnaBanana , mine is HannahBanana. The escape into the books is real, the trying to be the golden child to keep out of the way. We are one and the same, I mean even our first tattoos are similar 🥹 I’m not even remotely done with this book Sarah, you are a mastermind

Loved Will and Annie and the relationship between them developing. Liked Annie's siblings and future sister-in-law the story was sweet and the happily ever after was cute. Will teaching Annie was funny in places and romantic and Annie teaching Will a few things about his feelings was good. The town people were nice too. Read it in two days and will reread again. Enjoyed it very much. Noah and Amelia were in the book as well as Will is Amelia's bodyguard and we met him briefly in first book which I loved. Have bought this book in paperback also. Look forward to the next trip to Rome

I've had this on my TBR for months and finally got around to it and it did not disappoint!!! Annie IS the sweetest FMC ever but she's so sick of being told that. And after her date calls her boring, she enlists the help of her brother's girlfriend's bodyguard to be her dating coach, to help her be less boring. Will isn't interested in anything even remotely like a relationship but we just know the minute he collides with Annie he's a goner. Their will they won't they relationship plays out as Annie and Will both figure out what they want from life and from each other. This isn't a spicy, romance, it's a really slow burn, with Will being sensitive to Annie's need to take it slow and Annie holding back, afraid she has already fallen too deeply. However, even though this is very much a closed door romance, you can feel the passion between Will and Annie in every look, every touch that they share. This is honestly one of the best books I've read all year and I can't wait to read more from this author.

Un libro increíble con todas las vibes de las romcoms de los 2000’s. Small town, grumpy x sunshine, fake dating. Sin duda, un libro perfecto para quienes disfrutan de los romances lindos. Mi favorito de esta autora, que siempre recomendaré.

To historia dla wszystkich delikatnych, romantycznych, cichych duszy, które kochają marzyć i czytać. Dla każdego kto uwielbia małe miasteczka, humor i słodki romans pomiędzy przeuroczą kwiaciarką/ miłą „dziewczyną z sąsiedztwa” a „złym chłopcem”/ ochroniarzem, który tak naprawdę jest przekochany! 🤍🌷

This enchanting, wholesome read left me giggly and blushing. The chemistry and tension between the leads were perfection, exceeding my expectations and pulling me into a charming world I couldn’t help but love. In this house we stan a man who can communicate—Griffin, with his “I’m not gonna catch feelings” energy and tender heart wrapped in floral tattoos, is peak book boyfriend. His unwavering support for Annie, wanting her to change absolutely nothing about herself, was everything. Sarah delivers a tender, witty, and emotional love story I adored to pieces.

I read When In Rome and I thought that nothing could be better… I was so wrong! Practice Makes Perfect detroned that one by a long shot 😅 This book has my entire heart ♥️ Will has my heart 🥹 I am convinced that Will is the best book boyfriend EVER! He is so playfull, so sweet and caring, that I just can’t 🥺 And the communication?! Guys, this is how everyone should communicate, not just with our parter, but with our family and friends. Their are just so honest with each other, they understand one other so well and they learned to read each other in a very easy way. Jez, I was like “oh god 🥺” ALL THE TIME!! Sarah Adams really did a awesome job here! I thought she had a way with words in When In Rome, but it’s wayyyy better in this one. Will and Annie are one of my favourite couples ever and this book is now in my 3 top favourite book of all times.

bellissimo, il mio primo libro in lingua inglese, assolutamente perfetto✨
