From bn.com:

"...When in Rome, do as Audrey Hepburn would do. Failing that, run off with your ex-boyfriend, carry suspicious packages through customs and lie to the person who loves you.

Georgie Beauchamp dreams of being Audrey Hepburn and being swept off her feet by a Gregory Peck look-alike. But instead she is living with an accountant - hell, she even works for an accountancy publishing firm. So when her glamorous ex boyfriend Mike comes back on the scene, Georgie finds herself drawn to his exciting lifestyle and drop-dead gorgeous looks.

But is David hiding a life that is rather more glamorous then he is letting on? And could David and Mike's long-standing rivalry threaten to ruin both of them?

Corporate scandals, Mafia-type intrigue and Georgie's desire for romance and excitement lead Georgie, David and Mike to experience a Roman Holiday they are all unlikely to forget in this action-packed romp."

Cute book. I enjoyed the book, and the trip to Rome. A little mystery enters the story towards the end, and everything ends up working out ok. Good quick read.

This book started out a little slow, but I really enjoyed it! Girls like Georgie usually bother me, because they are so wishy-washy (Example: Do I want to be with Joe or Bob or Ralph?), but I got over it pretty quickly. I am a one-man type of woman, so that is hard for me to relate to. Luckily I really enjoyed Georgie's character despite her her back and forth deal. I rooted for her and David throughout the book. But I won't tell you the ending. You'll just have to read it yourself!

I have solskinn's address and will be sending it out very soon! Esq228, thanks for including me in this Bookray!

It's here! Thanks a lot for sending it Jenny, and thanks to esq228 for the ray as well as krl112 for providing the book. Although it has been through quite a few hands already it looks almost new. Looking forward to reading!

A great, light read! I'd call it one of the better works of chick lit and have found a new favorite author here.
I agree with Jenny on the wishy-washy matter... I didn't really like Georgie that much.

Thanks again for sharing. The book will be on its way to Lucy in Wales as soon as I've finished the other one I need to send her.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the way in which Roman Holiday features as it is one of my favourite films. I don't really have much to say about it, except that it was a lovely quick read :-)

I have PMed the next person for their address, and then the book will be on its way again.
