Synopsis

Meet Ashley and Roman—complete opposites who can’t hide their attraction—in Ruthie Knox’s original serial, Roman Holiday.

Roman Holiday, Episode 1: Chained
Ashley Bowman is having a bad week. Reeling from the death of her beloved grandmother, she returns to the Florida Keys only to learn that a heartless Miami developer has gotten hold of the crappy vacation rentals she calls home. Ashley has one day to clear out before Roman Díaz destroys the only place in the world that matters to her. Chaining herself to a palm tree in the bulldozers’ path seems like a good way to stop him . . . until she realizes she should’ve brought food and water. And pants. Also, it would help if the evil developer weren’t so ridiculously hot.

The last thing Roman Díaz needs is some blond protester getting her picture in the newspaper and messing up his plans. He bought the property fair and square, and the resort he wants to build on the site is the key to realizing his highest ambitions. But when a hurricane blows through, Roman has to hustle Ashley to safety if he wants to protect his reputation.

Roman Holiday, Episode 2: Hitched
Roman isn’t thrilled about being forced to evacuate Ashley from the Florida Keys—and that’s before he sees the decrepit Airstream trailer she wants to hook up to his shiny new Escalade. Ashley’s in way over her head, and the only way she knows to beat Roman is to get some help from a friend . . . in Georgia. It’s the bizarre thrum of attraction between them that she could do without. And yet there’s something about being hitched to Roman that makes Ashley never want to let go.

Roman Holiday, Episode 3: Blindsided
With his Escalade buried up to the axles in Georgia muck, Roman will do whatever it takes to put his Florida development back on track—but it never occurred to him that Ashley would start fighting dirty. Ashley figures all’s fair in love and war—and this is war, right? It can’t be love. Love doesn’t involve blackmail. So why does blindsiding Roman and forcing him to do her bidding make her feel so wrecked?

Roman Holiday, Episode 4: Ravaged
Roman doesn’t do love. It hasn’t worked out for him. He could never survive trying to live with his heart wide open the way Ashley does. But it’s hard to keep his walls up around this woman. Every mile he spends in her power leaves him more ravaged by memories and emotions he can’t control—and drags him closer to succumbing to an attraction he can’t afford.

Roman Holiday, Episode 5: Ignited
As the deadline for the destruction of Sunnyvale looms, Roman and Ashley find themselves cut off from the outside world and edging closer to truths neither is ready to accept. It’s stupid to fall into the arms of the enemy, but when the passion between them ignites, Roman and Ashley can’t convince themselves to be smart. Sometimes the flames are so enticing, it’s worth getting burned.

About The Author

USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox writes contemporary romance that's sexy, witty, and angsty--sometimes all three at once. After training to be a British historian, she became an academic editor instead. Then she got really deeply into knitting, as one does, followed by motherhood and romance novel writing.Her debut novel, Ride with Me, is probably the only existing cross-country bicycling love story. She followed it up with About Last Night, a London-set romance whose hero has the unlikely name of Neville, and then Room at the Inn, a Christmas novella--both of which were finalists for the Romance Writers of America's RITA Award. Her four-book series about the Clark family of Camelot, Ohio, has won accolades for its fresh, funny portrayal of small-town Midwestern life. She also writes New Adult romance as Robin York.Ruthie moonlights as a mother, Tweets incessantly, and bakes a mean focaccia.

Goodreads review by Aly

3.75 C'est drôle, sexy et plein d'esprit ! En même temps, c'était aussi un peu plus lourd que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Je croyais que ce serait quelque chose de léger. Ça l'était, pour la première moitié, mais le passé tragique du héros est venu mettre une ombre sur le récit. Je ne suis pas étrangèr......more

Not yet sure of my ultimate rating. 4 stars. This book was not what I was expecting from Ruthie Knox, but it has been in my TBR for a long time. This is the melancholy story of two people who were unloved as children and adapted in different ways. When they come together they clash as enemies... gradua......more

Half-way through the series and I'm a bit iffy about it. I do like it but some thing are just infuriating. I don't like Ashley. She annoying and frustrating and I definitely don't envy Roman for being stuck with her. Roman is okay. He's practical and I'm okay with that. He's a bit too practical at ti......more
