⭐⭐⭐✨ 3.5 stars
A slow start, but I’m glad I kept reading!
Ben and Rose’s journey from guarded to vulnerable felt worth it in the end. I liked seeing them grow, especially as Rose began to let go of her rules and Ben let love back in. Some sweet, subtle moments and a satisfying finish!

Romance, Italian vibes, family drama... and a surprise twist at the end!

I loved the Italian setting, it was the best part. While some things didn't exactly click for me, it was still an enjoyable read.

After her best friend Luna gets engaged rather quickly and plans to marry immediately, Rose is determined to convince her to postpone the wedding. Guided by her expertise, she thinks they are making a mistake. But on the flight there, she meets Ben, the best man. He is determined to make sure that the wedding happens. They clash at first, but the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow and she starts questioning her rules around love. They are both hurt by something in their past, but maybe together they'll be able to find their happily ever after.

Ben was a charmer and such a sweetheart. I liked him a lot.
But I didn't connect to Rose. She let her parents failed marriage rule not just her relationships, but the relationships of others too. I really disliked her at the beginning, but she did start to grow on me. Until the miscommunication happened. I just couldn't get into the story again or bring myself to root for her and Ben. The story lost me completely, I simply stopped caring. I tried, but Ben deserved someone better. I honestly don't think they were well suited for each other.
Not to mention the fact that everything felt completely rushed.

Also, I wish we got more of Luna and Marco. I feel like the story would've gain so much more substance that way. But I absolutely loved Aurora, she made the story more fun, and so did Coco.

I still enjoyed it, the banter, the scenery. I really loved their adventures along the villages and the coastline.
It was a quick read and I liked the writing. I would definitely read more books by this author.

Overall a nice light romance. I wasn't a huge fan of the main characters and the dramatic and very sudden change to their entire personality after a few days. But, suspending that, I enjoyed it.

When Rose flies to Italy to stop her best friend's impulsive wedding, the last thing she expects is to fall for the groom’s best man. But between fiery clashes, sun-drenched days, and undeniable chemistry, Rose might just break her own rules about love.✈️❤️‍🔥

The story grabbed me from the very first page, and I stayed engaged all the way to the end. The pacing was just right — not too fast to be overwhelming, and not too slow to make me lose interest.
What really captivated me was the Italian setting! The small village, the sea, and even the passionate Italians — everything felt warm and alive, like I was really there. The holiday vibe, the food, and the family moments made the story even more delightful.

At first, I honestly didn’t like 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙚 at all. She was stiff, annoying, and always convinced she was right while everyone else was wrong. It felt like she projected her parents’ failed marriage onto every relationship around her. But as she started breaking her unrealistic rules (which would never work in real life haha), her personality shifted for the better. And honestly… Ben's influence on her? Chef’s kiss.

Now 𝘽𝙚𝙣 — he was fun, warm, and so likeable. I kept wondering how he fell for her! He honestly felt like he deserved someone better, haha. But hey, opposites attract, and in this case, it worked! 🫶🏻❤️

The author’s writing style is simple and lovely — easy to follow without feeling too plain. The flow was smooth. It's the kind of writing that lets you relax and
enjoy the story without overthinking.

If you're looking for a relaxing and heartwarming read that transports you to Italy, this one is definitely worth it.
