Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Synopsis:
A burnt-out pop star stranded in small-town Kentucky can’t help falling for her unlikely knight in shining armor—the notoriously grumpy owner of the local pie shop—in this charming slice of romance from the author of the TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.
Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her adoring fans, is burned-out from years of maintaining her “princess of pop” image. Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome . . . Rome, Kentucky, that is.
When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems. He’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him and reminding his nosy but lovable neighbors to mind their own damn business. Despite his better judgment, he lets her stay in his guest room—but only until her car is fixed—then she’s on her own.
Then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose—she’s Amelia: kindhearted and goofy, yet lonely from years in the public eye. He can’t help but get close to her. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.
Amelia can’t resist falling for the cozy town and her grumpy tour guide, but even Audrey had to leave Rome eventually.

this book sounds amazing! i love the cover too.
This book looks super cute! It’ll probably make you hungry. 🙂
I can’t wait to read this one! I’ve loved all her previous books and I love the sound of When In Rome. xx
I like her too. I haven’t read one of her books in a while, so I’m looking forward to this as well.
I’m a smalltown romance and a Roman Holiday fan so I will likely snatch this up at some point, too. 🙂
I hope you enjoy it, Sophia!
I still need to read a book by Sarah Adams! This one looks perfect.
I like her books. I haven’t read one in a while, so I’m looking forward to this one.
This one sounds fun, Wendy. It has a bit of a Hallmark vibe. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you, Carla. It does have a Hallmark vibe!
This book sounds so cute! I hope you enjoy it 🙂 It’s been awhile since I’ve read a good light romance so maybe I’ll check it out soon.

It does sound cute. I’ll let you know soon if it’s any good or not!
Sounds a cute read, though it’ll probably make one want to eat a lot of pie. Hope it turns out fun Wendy🙂🙂🥧🥧
I’m going to have to find a Pie Shop!
I LOVED THIS BOOK! SO adorable! I hope you do when you read it.
Oh, that’s great to hear, Deanna! I have read books by Sarah Adams in the past and really liked them.
I hope you enjoy this one. It sounds like it will be a cute read.
It does sound really cute.
Hope it’s a good one. I’d like to visit Rome. 🙂 Well, the Italian Rome but I’m sure this Rome in KY is great too :):)
LOL! I once had to drive an 8-passenger van through downtown Rome (Italy) and was terrified!
Hope you enjoy 💕
Thank you, Jenny!
I’ve seen a lot of baking in romance lately!
I have too. I wonder if it’s because of the popularity of baking shows on tv?
This sounds like a great pick Wendy! I look forward to reading your review!
Thank you, Jodie!
Oh, dear! The owner of a pie shop should NOT be grumpy.😂
I agree, Linda. If I were surrounded by pie, I’d be pretty happy.
The cover of this one is so cute! And it sounds like a cute story, too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Amanda. It does look cute!
This sounds cute.
Thank you, Kristi!
Great pick, Wendy. I love that the guy has facial hair, LOL!
That’s funny, Cindy! You’re right. I guess I didn’t notice before.
Great choice Wendy. I’m excited for this one too.💕
I hope we both love it!!
I’ve never read a book by this author but When In Rome does sound very good!
It does sound good. I’ve read a few of her books, but it’s been a few years.
I hope you love this one, too. 🙂
Thank you!
