I really enjoyed RomeAntically Challenged and I am going to tell you why! First this story is truly women's fiction. It is a story with many inner stories taking place and yes there is a romance brewing but there is also so much more going on. Anh Nhi "Annie" Walsh is a recent transplant to Rome, R.I. She is a physician's assistant and after a major breakup with her fiance she has decided to make a drastic move and reassess her life. What Annie does not expect is for the owner of the house that she rented to show up and proceed to move into her rented space! Emmitt Bradley needs to come home. He's a photo-journalist and has been severely injured on his last assignment. The last thing that he expected to find in his house is a tiny Asian spitfire that is one of the few women on this planet that refuses to fall for his charm and do what he wants! So this is the first layer of Annie and Emmitt's story but there is a lot more. Emmitt has a 15 year old daughter that he shares custody of with his two best friends, her stepfather and her uncle. These two men are the daily figures in Paisley's life and Emmitt is coming to realize that he is odd man out and wants to change things but he doesn't know how. He also has a strained relationship with his father that he keeps pushing aside rather then work on. Annie also has things to tackle in her life, a fiance that owes her money from their canceled wedding, a string of relationships that ended friendly yet ended and a longing to get involved with the local Asian community and how can she do all this when she has a roommate that is constantly underfoot! Get ready to enjoy this journey between two very different people who beneath it all have always been searching for the same thing. RomeAntically Challenged is told from dual POV and is sweet, complicated, funny, frustrating and all the other emotions that are a part of life. If it were a movie it would be rated PG.
