Sweet Rome by Tillie Cole

4.0

Between Sweet Home and Sweet Rome, I'd have to say I prefer Sweet Rome. I gave them the same rating because most of the time stories told like this have similar content, but I loved getting inside of Rome's head. I loved seeing what exactly made him tick because I couldn't always understand it from Molly's logical point of view, and here it just made sense to me. Rome's actually easier for me to like as a narrator. I just felt closer to him for some reason, and I loved seeing pivotal scenes from his eyes. There was more raw emotion in Rome's story than in Molly's. He so clearly displays his hurt and pain, and I nearly cried when he was with Molly when she lost the baby and then later in the hospital. It is official. Romeo Prince is just a heartbreaking guy in the best way. I might even love him more than I love Travis Maddox, which is hard for me to say. I am also a sucker for extra bonus scenes, which I found out Sweet Rome had. I loved seeing Rome and Molly's wedding and the epilogue was adorable! I hope to see more of my favorite couple in the companion novels, but I'm happy enough with what I've been given. Definitely recommended!
