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!

This was my second Sarah Adams book after reading The Cheat Sheet and the vibes were very similar. There was a lot I liked about this book (hence the 3.5 stars) and it did keep me turning the pages (especially the second half), but I had a few niggles too. Will's character is great and I liked his development. Annie's realisations were great too and seeing her character strengthen was lovely. I didn't like Maddie and Emily for quite a while. I had a bit of Cinderella vibe going on with them. They just didn't seem to care about Annie that much. It was only towards the end I warmed to them. Grandma seemed quiet an important person in Annie's life, but then she doesn't really appear. Only once and she is asleep. Noah's beard... It wasn't until about 50% in I realised he had one... Maybe I missed something. There were a few typos which bugged me. How did proof readings and edits not pick these up... I know I'm probably being pedantic, but the one that bothered me the most was "could care less". It appeared twice and it doesn't actually make sense. It's couldn't care less. The first 30% of the story just felt really young to me, but then the last 20% is very different. I liked the depth that emerged. Towards the second half I did laugh out loud at bits a number of times and some bits made me quite emotional too, so brownie points for that. All in all I did enjoy this book and it was easy read.

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

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!!! ❤️

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.

She is the small town florist, he is the bad bodyguard . They make a deal.

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.
