Description
When the owner of the local flower shop in Rome, Kentucky, makes a questionable agreement with a tattooed bad boy, a delightful friends-to-lovers romance begins to bloom - from the author of When in Rome and TikTok sensation, The Cheat Sheet.
Sarah writes books that truly make me smile. They're kind and hopeful, playful and feel-good. Practice Makes Perfect was all of that in spades. CHLOE LIESE
Sarah has written a tender, witty, emotional love story and I adore it to pieces. B.K. BORISON
It was deliciously romantic. Kind of like watching a 90s rom-com but with still it having the magic of being a book.
The story? PERFECT. the couple? AMAZING. the tension?! INCREDIBLE. Honestly this was one of my favourites from Sarah Adams. . . THIS WAS EVERYTHING.
I binged this book in a few hours and could not put it down. SARAH ADAMS YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL. This was an incredible read filled with heart, finding your path, laughter and all the LOVE.
The banter, the tension just everything in this book was fantastic and I cannot wait to read more from Sarah. . . A new favourite romance read that will have you grinning from start to end.
How hard can it be to find the perfect match?
Florist Annie Walker is determined to find someone who complements her life. But after overhearing her latest date describe her as 'so unbelievably boring', Annie wonders if the problem might be her. Is it too late to become flirtatious and fun like the leading ladies in her favourite romance movies? Maybe she only needs some practice . . . and Annie has the perfect tutor in mind.
Sexy and tattooed Will Griffin is temporarily back in Rome, Kentucky, providing security for pop-star Amelia Rose in the build-up to her wedding to Annie's brother. He also has his own agenda: stay away from Annie Walker and any attachments to this sleepy town, which becomes difficult when she enlists him to help fix her love life.
Amid steamy practice dates and strictly 'educational' tutoring lessons, the lines of their friendship blur and Annie reconsiders what her 'dream guy' might look like. Maybe her love life doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to be real.

About the Author
Sarah Adams was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. She loves her family, warm days, and making people smile. Sarah has dreamed of being a writer since she was a girl, but she finally wrote her first novel when her daughters were napping and she no longer had any excuses to put it off. Sarah is a coffee addict, a British history nerd, a mom of two daughters, married to her best friend, and an indecisive introvert. Her hope is to always write stories that make readers laugh, maybe even cry - but always leave them happier than when they started reading.
