When in Rome By Gemma Townley review

When in Rome...: A Novel of Piazzas and Passion

by Gemma Townley

 When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs, and lie to the person who loves you. . . .Georgie Beauchamp is totally happy and in love with her wonderful, dependable boyfriend, David. So why does she always daydream about running into her gorgeous ex-boyfriend Mike? It can’t mean she’s still in love with him—especially since the cad dumped her so horribly. As luck would have it, when Georgie’s daydream actually comes true, she is dressed in unglamorous sweats and carrying a curtain rod down the street, while Mike is driving an expensive sports car and looking better than Brad Pitt at the Oscars. She longs to have the glamorous life Mike can offer—and starts to think that he might want her back in his arms.

But when he invites her for a weekend in Rome, Georgie is torn. David has always said he’d take her there for the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but his work keeps him totally tied up. So she must choose: David, all comfort and reliability, or Mike, all flirtation and butterfly-stomachs. The decision isn’t too hard to make, and faster than she can say Vespa, she’s off to Rome with Mike, full of plans to frolic on the Spanish Steps and sip wine in intimate trattorias. But when David shows up unexpectedly, this roman holiday gets a hell of a lot more complicated. .

I must say that I was really let down with this book I thought that it would have been better. I read this book in two days and was board with due to the fact I could see after the first few chapters how this book was going to go, however I kept reading in hopes that I was wrong sadly I was not. I say that the book did have it's funny parts to it,this dose make good road trip book and rainy day book to read as it will pass your time. I would say either barrow the book off friends of library or even get viva e reader. It's not one of my favorites but I will give the writer another chance and read some of her other work.
