Katherine Center does it again! I think she is easily my favorite romance author if I am looking for a closed-door romance. So fun and sweet, still packed with intimacy and the very specific Katherine Center charm. Would absolutely recommend!

I loved this book. Katherine Center never disappoints! After meeting her in person I feel like I can hear her voice even more clearly in the inspiration she gives them. She just keeps getting better.

Another adorably cute read. Center is a pro at writing heartwarming, fun, could be realistic stories. Katherine Center is an auto-read for me and will continue to be. She writes with such heart and emotion, all while leaving me not able to turn pages fast enough. Now to wait for her next read!

I've never read a book by Center that I did not adore. The Rom-Commers is no exception. Emma is stuck, but gets a crazy chance to do something big with her writing idol. Charlie, however, is the curmudgeonest of curmudgeons and could care less. So of course, we get the forced proximity and enemies to lovers tropes that Center works so damn well. This book is entertaining, heartwarming, charming, and sweet. Want a book you can't put down? This book is for you and you might as well check out all her other ones too. You can thank me later.

I received an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Author Katherine Center gives us another feel-good rom-com with The Rom-Commers!! (lol)

Emma and Charlie are opposites-attract, as Emma is a romantic and Charlie thinks love is overrated. I love their banter and how they just completely fall for each other! This is a light-hearted read with a guaranteed happy ending that will leave you with all the fuzzies!

Okay y’all I somehow miss that this one was going to make me cry -a lot! Like not light and sunny breeze oh no 😥 yes, it was funny but man did I cry with this one. Aka not great driving audiobook! But like all things Center it’s wonderful and great and yes,please but get ready to 😭! Highly recommended!!

Thank you to @netgalley and @Stmartinspress for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to @macmillian.audio for a free download of the audiobook.

The Rom-commers by Katherine Center is another delightful addition to Center’s collection of heartwarming stories. As an auto-buy author for me, Center never disappoints, and this book is no exception. It’s a perfect blend of humor, romance, and emotional depth that feels like a big hug.

What I Loved:

Audiobook Experience:
Narration: The audiobook, narrated by the author herself and Patti Murin, adds an extra layer of depth to the story. The narrator’s ability to convey the characters’ emotions and personalities enhances the listening experience, making it easy to get lost in the story.

An absolute gem! The author’s storytelling ability is extraordinary, keeping me engaged from the first page to the last. It’s a rare find that I will be revisiting for years to come. This story got a few tears outta me but still good.

Thank you to St. Martins Press and NetGalley for the early review. All the above opinions are my own.

Kathrine Center once again takes a difficult topic and makes a digestible, enjoyable story that also centers romance. the Rom-Commers is a funny, but deep love story that centers around two screenwriters attempting to save a rom com script from the grave. They end up falling in love but face. a few obstacles before finally coming together. I enjoyed the characters, and felt that they were realistically flawed. The fight between the protagonist and her sister was very real and very raw. Overall loved this read.

This was a great chill romance without too much spice.
Very beach read appropriate.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me an advanced copy of this book to enjoy!

LOVE THIS book. and love this author. every story is magical. grateful for the chance to read this early

I wanted to love this, but I just felt like I was slogging through trying to finish. I didn't feel the spark or burn between the characters. I did enjoy the idea of them writing a script together, but the story didn't draw me in.

I love Katherine Center. She's an iconic author in the romance sphere now. Everything she writes is heartwarming and fun fun fun!

This is a delightful and incredibly funny romcom about life and love, filled with valuable life lessons that leave an impact. It offers thoughtful insight on appreciating the present. It even hints at finding light during those inevitable dark times we all face. Emma had me cackling several times, both with her witty lines and her hilarious inner thoughts. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read more of Katherine’s work!

I am a huge Katherine Center fan and this might be my new favorite book of hers. Wonderful character development, banter, and some steam. Everything I look for in a Rom-Com!

I absolutely loved this book! Katherine Center is an amazing author and I always fall in love with her characters.

3.5/4 stars! Center’s books are always a must read from me! There’s always a great plot, and I always enjoy the character development that happens in each book. I really enjoyed getting to know Emma and Charlie in this story, and I can’t wait for her next one!

This book redeemed Center in my mind after Hello Stranger. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept and found myself rooting for both main characters at every turn. I felt every emotion with them and relished in the opportunity to take the roller coaster ride along with them as their relationship blossomed. The transition in their relationship didn't feel rushed or overly slow to me but it seemed that things moved right as they should.

3.5-4 ⭐️ I could definitely appreciate this human story and points made about love and life! Lots of good quotes. I really wish I loved the main characters more and felt the love story unfold more between them. The transition from rivals to “in love” wasn’t smooth for me.

Every time I read a Katherine Center book I am reminded of how cute, cozy and adorable her books are. The Rom-Commers is no exception to this. I adored this book. This one has an emotional storyline that you come to expect from Katherine, with a side of funny moments, banter and such great character development and detail that you can’t help but root for them.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.
