The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center

5.0

Many thanks to my friends at @stmartinspress and @macmillan.audio for the #gifted copies of this book. 

Oh Katherine!  You know the way to my heart.  

I finished this book mere hours ago, and I AM SO IN LOVE with everything about it.  

From the beginning, I found myself totally invested.  I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.  And then, I found myself swooning in equal measure.  

This storyline was easy to fall for, and I found myself completely infatuated and basking in its goodness.  The characters.  The storyline.  The sweetness of the romance.  The juxtaposition of the hard things and the joy.  It was total perfection.  

But the true magic in this book: the way Center brazenly defended the rom-com genre.  Center’s fierce dedication and love for romance came through loud and clear in Emma’s voice as she went toe to toe with Charlie on the screenplay they teamed up to write.  If I had not already been a wholehearted devotee of the genre- or Center’s books- Emma would’ve convinced me.  

And the cameo from The Bodyguard... BE STILL MY HEART! 

Center’s books are always a ray of sunshine for me, and The Rom-Commers had me smiling from ear to ear with utter satisfaction.  Another winner!

🎧 Patti Murin’s narration for Center’s books is always “chef’s kiss,” and this one is no exception.  Also, hearing Center read the author’s note added a specialness to the read.  But the real reason you’re going to want to grab the audio:  that extra chapter told from Charlie’s POV.  👌🏻
