Katherine Center is the queen of cozy romance stories. The way she writes realistic worlds and draws you in from the beginning is unparalleled. The Rom-Commers was no different. I look forward to EVERYTHING she writes.

I have found that, when it comes to reading romance books, I can be quite picky about the premise. Sometimes, these off the wall storylines can be too far out there for my “rooted in reality romance” brain to handle. I don’t tend to get along with books with a celebrity romance. So I was definitely worried going into this book.

I ended up enjoying the romance between these characters. Were their circumstances farfetched? Yes. However, the serious way they approach their work and the safe spaces they became for each other was nice to see.

I will say that there were a few cringy moments where the female main character kept bringing up how the main male character hand a lot more money than her. It was tedious for her to mention it so often.

Otherwise, this was a cute story.

This was another heartfelt and fun book from Katherine Center!
Emma Wheeler is a talented screenwriter of really swoony romantic comedies. But, she’s yet to experience Hollywood-level fame due in part to being full-time caretaker for her father.
That could all change when she’s asked to re-work a script for screenwriting legend, Charlie Yates … But, only if he’ll give her a chance.
Emma’s story is an emotional one, and I loved getting to see her work through guilt over events in her past. I especially enjoyed the back-and-forth banter between Emma and Charlie, and seeing their relationship build.
Center’s books are consistently entertaining, and this was another winner for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC. This is my honest review.

This one was so much fun! It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let up. It’s was funny while also touching on very tough subjects.

I enjoyed watching Emma grow and work through the rest of her grief. And Charlie finally learns what love feels like 🥰

Definitely recommend this one if you’re looking for a clean, fun rom-rom!

Emma and Charlie’s story was just what I expect a Katherine Center romcom to be.

I laughed and cried and got the HEA I was hoping for.

I would recommend this to my friends and family.

Wow Katherine Center does it again! This book will make you smile and tear up at the same time. I absolutely loved the screenwriting angle, I’ve never read anything like it!

Katherine Center does it again! This is a great rom-com with characters that are memorable and fun. I always feel excited to see a new Katherine Center book!

EVERYTHING by Katherine Center is amazing. I loved this one and can not WAIT for her next release. I already ran out and bought the physical copy!

Katherine Center has quickly become one of my auto read authors and this one did not disappoint. I loved the storyline and the characters!

I’m a sucker for well written rom-coms and this one just hit the spot. I adored the story of Emma and Charlie writing together, overcoming fears, and having silly experiments in the name of writing. This book had me smiling, nearly crying, and just feeling all the feels you want to feel. My only hold up is lack of spice, but that’s definitely not a deal breaker. Katherine Center continues to be one of my favorite romance authors and this book holds up to my high expectations.

A big thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for providing me with this gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely adored this book!! There were so many layers to the story + the relationship between the two characters was so real.

Katherine Center is a must-read author for me because she mixes romance and emotional depth into her stories perfectly. This one is no different and has easily become one of my most cherished books. I found myself excitingly reading through Emma and Charlie's story to see how it will unfold. They have amazing chemistry and tension that is played out throughout the story flawlessly creating an emotional rollercoaster.

Emma and Charlie are well-crafted characters, each possessing relatable qualities in distinct ways. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and watching their relationship evolve throughout the story. Their relationship was not just a romantic one, it explored how we can also find love through friendship and meaningful family relationships. Both protagonists grapple with substantial emotional baggage, yet they handle their challenges maturely, teaching each other to embrace happiness in the present rather than dwelling on the future or the past. Their relationship development felt organic and yet it felt like magic while I was reading it,

A beautiful story that is both entertaining and deeply reflective. It is a celebration of love, resilience and the transforming effect of accepting life's imperfections. It is a book that will leave you with a warm heart and a smile long after you read the last page. Highly recommend!

I am grateful to St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read a digital copy of this heartwarming book provided through Netgalley. All the opinions expressed this review are my own.

Katherine Center rarely disappoints for me.

I really loved the setting of this book, but the characters fell a little flat for me. I had a hard time connecting to them.

Ultimately, I still really enjoyed it!

I received an advance reader copy of 'The Rom-Commers' from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Katherine Center has once again delivered a heartwarming and engaging story. I particularly enjoyed the focus on Emma's personal growth and her journey towards self-acceptance. While the romance was entertaining, I found Charlie's inconsistent behavior to be a bit frustrating. Overall, 'The Rom-Commers' is a delightful read that will resonate with fans of the rom-com genre. I recommend it to readers who enjoy stories about women finding their own happiness and embracing their imperfections.

Really sweet, fun romance I truly enjoyed. I tend to really like Katherine Center's books and this was no exception. The premise - a screenwriter who hasn't broken into the industry works with her idol to rewrite a script - was really fun and I enjoyed the FMC's relationships with her family to add stakes to the plot.

The reason it's not 5 stars for me is it felt still a bit surface-level (we were told more than shown a lot of things about the characters!) but in comparison to many other romances I've read that stay surface-level, this one was more well-written than most.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to SMP and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, and liked Hello Stranger a little less. Sadly, I found that I enjoyed The Rom-Commers even less than that. The main characters were not super likeable, which made rooting for them difficult. I liked the insight provided on the writing process, especially as someone who likes to write, but there wasn't much else that I enjoyed unfortunately. It was a quick read, though, which I did like.

Oh the feelings! I absolutely loved this book. My favorite part was the characters. The FMC was uniquely delightful and the slightly curmudgeonly MMC developed into a total catch. I might have literally (pun intended) swooned towards the end of the book. Throw in a thoughtful, loving family with a tragic backstory and this plot had everything it needed for success!

I was so close to giving up on this book because I felt like it was dragging at the beginning but I’m so glad I kept going! I ended up really enjoying this book. There’s something about a prince that always gets me. Emma and Michel were perfect for each other and I’m glad they realized they were the most important thing in each other’s lives. My initial thought was this is going to be instalove and not be believable to me, but I didn’t end up feeling that way. The book didn’t need to be quite as long though. Overall a very cute story and premise and would recommend!

Omg I absolutely loved this book!
I loved how in the characters writing a screenplay for a rom com, it created a rom com!
Everything Emma taught Charlie about rom coms was basically happening to them.
It was so unrealistic but made the reader realize that this is why we love rom coms!
I loved both the main characters.
I liked that even though it was a light, funny rom com, both characters were dealing with some pretty intense things in their lives.
I also loved the 1st person internal monologue. It added a comedic lightness to the book and made it that much more interesting.
I would 100% recommend this!
It was a slower burn, but it was definitely worth it!
The only thing that might have made it better would be a dual POV. I would have loved to read this from Charlie's point of view!

A "serious" screenwriter is forced to write a rom-com, luckily, with help from an expert.

I recommend all things Katherine Center always; I don't make the rules. This book featured a very charming heroine with gumption and real issues. This title was a master class in what the rom-com is and what it should be and mixed a good amount of family drama in with the dram and the com. I really enjoyed this read and will recommend heartily to long time rom-com superfans and those looking to dip a toe alike!
