In Your Dreams (When in Rome #4)

This is the fourth and final installment in Adams's Rome, Kentucky series (though I think they all stand alone just fine). Each series installment centers one of the four Walker siblings; this last story belongs to wild child Madison, who's moving back to Rome after graduating from culinary school in New York City. Unbeknownst to her family and friends, she was miserable in the city, and didn't do great in school, either—despite what she led them to believe. She's back in Rome to work for her brother's best friend, as head chef at the new restaurant he's opening on the family farm. But, unbeknownst to pretty much everyone, his only reason for opening the restaurant is to bring Maddie back to town, because he's been pining for her for years. Oh, and the farm might go under if the restaurant isn't a success from opening night. I have some quibbles with this story, particularly the lack of detail and texture surrounding the restaurant plot, and one truly terrible "Kentucky" accent on the audiobook. But I have zero regrets: all in all it was an easy-reading delight to go back to Rome one more time.
