I LOVE this series by Sarah Adams!! I love the Walker family dynamics!
The Walker kids live in Rome, KY and lost their parents in a freak accident. Each book in the 4 book series tells the tale as each finds their true love. Each book is as heartwarming as the next.
Amelia Rose, aka Rae Rose, is a famous singer and huge Audrey Hepburn fan. When Amelia gets burnt out and looking for an escape she takes a page from the Hepburn movie Roman Holiday and heads to Rome! Not Rome, Italy, but Rome, KY. Her car breaks down in the middle of the night right in Noah Walker’s front yard! It’s quite comical as Noah tries to convince this superstar that’s he’s not trying to kill her, but trying to help her! When he finally convinces her to let him help her, Amelia finds herself stuck in this crazy small town where everybody knows everybody. Amelia finds love in both Noah and the people of Rome.
Annie Walker is Rome’s sweetheart. Soft spoke and just a good girl. The Walker sisters look after their Anna Banana and treat her like she’s still a kid. Then in walks Will Griffin, Amelia’s (the superstar from When In Rome) bodyguard. Gruff and tattooed, Annie could never think he would be interested in her when he has a woman wherever he goes! Annie has bombed on so many dates and Will has plenty of experience so maybe…he could teach her! A dating coach! Reluctantly, Will agrees and he soon discovers that there is much more to Annie than everyone realizes.
This one is my favorite!! The Walker sisters love their steamy romances and Emily Walker is no different. Secretly she is writing her own and in one slightly intoxicated evening she accidentally emails the principal of her school her manuscript! Hesitantly, she asks her arch nemesis, Jack Bennett, to help her sneak into her principal’s house to delete the email. Jack and Emily have been feuding since college and she thought the coast was clear when he moved away with his finace, but the wedding was called off and Jack found himself back in Rome living right next door to Emily. Sometimes too close can become comfort.
The last sister is Madison Walker who went off to New York to pursue her dreams in culinary school. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Madison found New York cold and lonely and she missed her family and she missed Rome. Culinary school wasn’t the dream she was hoping it would be either. The chefs were relentless and mean and Madison found herself not liking the one thing that always brought her comfort. One night she accidently misdialed the number of James Huxley who was a longtime family friend. James was Madison’s brother’s best friend and although they all grew up together, she wasn’t exactly what she would call friends with him. She was just the little sister. That night Madison told James how she missed Rome and he offered her the chef position in his new restaurant on the family farm. James didn’t tell her that the whole future of the farm rested in that one restaurant. The very same restaurant he asked Madison to lead! Already doubting her abilities, will Madison be able to make James’ restaurant a success and save the farm and why is Madison now looking at James in a different light? Why are things starting to feel different?
This is such a cozy and fun series with moments that made me laugh out loud as well as endearing moments that just made me swoon! The box set is perfect and makes a great gift!
