Cute and snappy dialogue that keeps you engaged. I enjoyed the setting almost as much as I enjoyed the characters and the romance. This is a fun romp that I think a lot of people will enjoy, especially those who like to do some armchair traveling while reading!

Tiziana Olbrich’s *Just One Night in Rome* is a captivating tale of serendipity, adventure, and the transformative power of a single, unforgettable evening. Set against the romantic and historic backdrop of Rome, this novel explores how one night can change the course of two lives forever.

Josie, reeling from a breakup and looking to escape from men and her past, embarks on a solo trip to Italy. Her journey, initially intended as a means of healing and solitude, takes an unexpected turn when she meets Leo, a charismatic and adventurous Chilean backpacker, in a hostel room. Leo's inquisitive nature and irresistible charm challenge Josie to re-examine her life and her choices.

Olbrich masterfully captures the essence of Rome, weaving its enchanting atmosphere into the fabric of Josie and Leo’s story. The city's vibrant streets, ancient ruins, and timeless beauty serve as the perfect setting for their spontaneous adventure. The author’s vivid descriptions transport readers to Rome, making them feel as if they are part of the night’s magic.

The chemistry between Josie and Leo is palpable from their first meeting. Olbrich skilfully develops their connection, balancing moments of deep conversation with light-hearted fun. Leo's persistence in asking Josie thought-provoking questions gradually breaks down her emotional barriers, allowing her to confront her fears and desires. Their night together is filled with laughter, introspection, and a burgeoning romance that feels both genuine and intense.

One of the novel’s strengths is its exploration of the theme of living in the moment. Josie’s experience with Leo forces her to step out of her comfort zone and embrace spontaneity. This night of exploration and self-discovery is a pivotal moment for her, illustrating how sometimes the most unexpected encounters can lead to profound personal growth.

However, the story also delves into the bittersweet reality of their situation. With Leo living on the other side of the world, their burgeoning romance faces the ultimate test of distance and time. Olbrich leaves readers pondering whether one magical night is enough to alter their paths permanently or if it will remain a beautiful, fleeting memory.

this book was something very disappointing. The writing style wasn't for me. I read this book but it didn't give me feelings. You know giggling blushing frustrating feelings.

There was no chemistry and tension between our two main characters. What's worse than no chemistry?

The cover draws you in but the story isn't captivating like I thought it would be. This book isn't for me, but maybe it will be for someone else.

I tried multiple times to read this unfortunately I just couldn’t get into the story., and I’m still giving four stars due my being unable to get into the book doesn’t mean someone else won’t love it. The book starts off with a play style type and I’m not a fan of books written like that.

Was very boring and hard to get through. I wish the beginning had more to it to suck you in and make it more interesting.

The setting is delightful and the romance will make your swoon. This is a feel-good romance you won't want to miss.

This was was just simply lovely, enjoyed every bit of it, a few twists thinking it would head one way but went another, looking forward to reading the next book to find out the rest.

Not good. Not good at all. Who knows what was going on? What was the conflict? What was the story line? What was going on? Like I was into it and then it was going way too fast, way too insta, there wasn't enough background and I didn't really enjoy it whatsoever.

just finished reading the sample for this book… it was cute but just didn’t hit the spot for me! I was really drawn in by the cover and the title.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

It was a cute read but left a lot to be desired. Too much unnecessary drama for the sake of there being drama.

I can never resist a strangers to lovers romance story. This was so much fun. I loved the setting and irresistible connection between the main characters.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

There was a lot of fluff, cheating, lies, work drama, which I get it adds to the book and reasoning as to why the ending happens the way it does, but I just really didn't feel like I was caught up in the book. Felt like I was watching a real housewives episode.

At the end of a book, I just want to know what actually happens, instead of a cliff hanger.

We are sad to say this book was a No for us, the cover appealed to us, and the setting of the book! I mean who does not love the idea of traveling to Rome, Italy. But it was disappointing, the writing style, the characters dynamic. I stopped after page 103, because I sadly just could not find it enjoy to read.
Hope someone else can enjoy the book, I was not the reader for it.

Sometimes you need a light and easy read and this book is definitely that. It was the power of how a moment can change your life. Well developed characters, a captivating story and well, the want to have the night of my life. Just saying

As a travel lover, adventure seeker, I thought this would be a cute rom-com/chic lit read that had all the things.

In reality, this book was messy, heart break, lots of office drama/growth, and a crap boss. (Maybe it was my inner Emily Henry mind, or Jeneva Rose rom-com, but this one just wasn't cutting it for me).

There was a lot of fluff, cheating, lies, work drama, which I get it adds to the book and reasoning as to why the ending happens the way it does, but I just really didn't feel like I was caught up in a chic lit book, versus a real housewives episode/office drama.

At the end of the book, I just want to know what actually happens, instead of a cliff hanger.

I am very excited to be reading this book! My full review to follow.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
