Kaitlyn‘s review of Beg, Borrow, or Steal (When in Rome, Book 3) by Sarah Adams
Contemporary Romance published by Dell 7 Jan 25
Beg, Borrow, or Steal is now on the shelves and you absolutely MUST read it. This is officially my favorite Sarah Adams book.
The rivals-to-lovers, both teachers by day, secret authors by night aspect of this book is perfection. Emily and Jack have been in an endless competition with each other for ten years and the tension is *chefs kiss*. The evolution of their relationship throughout the book is done so well. I love both of their characters so much.
It’s so much fun being back in Rome, Kentucky. I’m really glad I reread the first two books right before, because this quirky town is full of the best side characters. I’m so excited we’re getting one more Rome book. I’m dying to see how Sarah makes us fall even more in love with this town.
Run, don’t walk to those shelves now for this one, guys. It is such a fun read and definitely a Grade A story.
Grade: A
Summary:
Emily Walker hates having her carefully crafted world disrupted by anyone, most of all her legendary nemesis, Jack Bennett. He’s the opposite of the wonderful heroes she dreams up in her double life as a romance writer, which is why Emily was perfectly happy when Jack left Rome, Kentucky, mid-school year with his fiancée. The last thing Emily saw coming was Jack’s return at the start of the summer after calling off the wedding and ending his relationship, but he’s here to stay—as her colleague and her neighbor.
Jack is glad to be back, eager to renovate his house and work on the next mystery novel under his bestselling pen name. But when he realizes he’s now neighbors with the one woman who has always pushed his buttons, he discovers something he’s even more excited about—thwarting Emily and her petty plans to sabotage his return.
With their chemistry-fueled animosity at an all-time high, Emily accidentally sends an email to their school’s principal that could reveal her secret literary side hustle. She needs to steal back her manuscript, and Jack—she hates to admit—is just the man to help her. Surprisingly, he agrees. Will their unlikely alliance put an end to their rivalry? Or could it lead to a steamy plot twist they never saw coming?
