Journal Entry 1 by krl112 from Hawthorne, New Jersey USA on Tuesday, September 16, 2008

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.

On its way to the first ray participant! 

Journal Entry 8 by JennyC1230 from Woodstock, Georgia USA on Friday, February 13, 2009

The book is here! I will read it next. It looks like a fun book! 

Journal Entry 9 by JennyC1230 from Woodstock, Georgia USA on Tuesday, February 17, 2009

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! 

Journal Entry 10 by JennyC1230 from Woodstock, Georgia USA on Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Sending today to solskinn! Enjoy! 

Journal Entry 11 by solskinn from Wien - irgendwo / Vienna - somewhere, Wien Austria on Tuesday, February 24, 2009

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! 

Journal Entry 12 by solskinn from Wien - irgendwo / Vienna - somewhere, Wien Austria on Tuesday, March 17, 2009

esq228 has granted me some extra time to read this book. Thanks so much, I appreciate it! 

Journal Entry 13 by solskinn from Wien - irgendwo / Vienna - somewhere, Wien Austria on Friday, April 03, 2009

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.

Journal Entry 16 by lucy-lemon from Llandudno, Wales United Kingdom on Wednesday, May 06, 2009

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. 

Journal Entry 17 by rebeccaljames from Cincinnati, Ohio USA on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

I received this book a while back. I am looking forward to reading it. Since I am the last person I'm going to read this later. Thank you for sharing.
