Two Chances with You (The Rome Novels, 2)

The characters’ feelings felt so genuine and raw—was this based on personal experience or purely fiction? I’m curious about the creative process behind that authenticity.

The descriptions really brought the setting to life, making me want to visit. Was capturing that sense of place a key part of the story’s appeal?

The sequel expands on characters I loved, but I wonder if the author planned this extension from the start or decided to explore more after the first success.
