This story made me want to book a flight to Rome immediately🥹🇮🇹 It was such a fun, charming romcom filled with beautiful scenery, witty banter, and plenty of sweet moments.
The chemistry between the MCs was instant, and their playful rivalry made their relationship so entertaining to watch unfold. I especially loved all of the puns, they had me smiling the entire time😂💕 The fact that they appreciated each other’s jokes when no one else did was one of my favorite little details.
The only thing I’d mention is that there are a few sections with heavier information dumping, so it does require a bit more focus while reading. Once I settled into the story, though, I really enjoyed it.
If you’re looking for a romance that feels like a summer getaway through Rome, this one is definitely worth adding to your TBR☀️✈️

BLURB: You can’t fall in love with someone who lives somewhere else and expect a happily-ever-after.
Lexi Walker has finally committed to the Italian adventure that she and her late mother dreamed of for years–complete with a meticulously crafted itinerary, four sealed letters to open at Rome’s most iconic sites, and her mother’s final painting to present at the art festival Lexi is helping organize. She’s ready for the perfect Roman getaway. What she doesn’t expect is for her mother’s artwork to start manifesting in real life, turning her carefully planned trip into something unpredictable.
Italian-American architect Mark Russo has sworn off American tourists after having his heart broken, and he’s certainly not about to let another one distract him from winning the restoration bid that could reunite his estranged father with his grandfather. But when the captivating woman next to him on the flight to Rome proposes a photography challenge–whoever captures the heart of Italy in seven days wins–Mark can’t resist the bet or her charm.
As Lexi follows the letters from her mother around the city, she encounters Mark everywhere she goes. Their competitive banter turns to undeniable chemistry, but they both know the cardinal rule of holiday romances. Will a little magic–and a lot of mishaps–break the Roman Holiday Rule?
