Beg, Borrow, or Steal by Sarah Adams
Second grade teacher Emily Walker is horrified to learn that her arch nemesis Jack Bennett has broken up with his fiancé and moved back to her hometown of Rome, Kentucky. Not only does Jack return to his teaching position at her elementary school, he also moves into the house next door.
Emily and Jack’s sparring is laugh-out-loud funny and Jack is everything a girl could want in a guy: handsome, charming, and secretly a best-selling author. Emily is beloved by everyone in her hometown, devoted to her siblings, and keenly observant, especially when it relates to uncovering Jack’s secrets.
With the exception of one hard-to-believe scene, this book was a delight. The characters were well-developed and I didn’t want the story to end.
Refreshingly unique and clever, this book belongs on every rom-com lover’s beg, borrow, or steal list.
Now I have to go back and read the other books in the When in Rome series!
I received an advanced copy of this novel from the publisher (Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine/Dell) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
