‼️Help an indie author out and reviews ‼️

Do you like Indie books? Let me introduce you to All Roads Lead to Romeo by Bella Taylor.

Book Blurb

Two coins changed her life.

Alessia Emery embarks on the journey of a lifetime to Italy. While visiting the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Alessia tosses two coins in the mystical waters. Signaling to the universe that she is ready for her single days to be over and fall in love with a hot Italian man. As Alessia leaves the square, she is separated from her tour group and is lost in the city center. Stranded, stressed, and without any cellphone connection, Alessia spirals. That is, until Romeo swoops in to the rescue with his dashing smile, swoon worthy charm, and a scoop of decadent gelato. But she had no idea that the handsome stranger that came to her rescue is actually her tour guide for the rest of her adventure.

In this not so star-crossed tale of two lovers in fair Italy, join Alessia and Romeo as they navigate international love, peppered with laughter and tension.

A bookshelf displays several purple-themed books by 'Crystal Rose,' with an overlay stating 'HOW I'VE FAILED as an author' and a downward trend graph, reflecting the author's struggle to reach more readers.

Two charts compare 'Pages read' for 'Last year' (84,586 in 2023) and 'this year' (59,586 in 2024), showing a significant decrease despite publishing more books, accompanied by a sad emoji.

Text on a light blue background states the author published 5 new books and increased social media marketing, yet expects 25k fewer pages read this year compared to last year.
