Solid romantic comedy. In the story we met Emma who is a writer who has given up a lot of her life to take care of her father and sister. She then gets put up to help another writer named Charlie, who has struggled as of late with his scripts and has written an awful, romantic comedy that needs help. Reluctantly, he decides to work with her, and it turns into a romantic comedy of its own.

This was absolute perfection from the beginning to the end. I have read a few Katherine Center books and this one is the best. I loved the characters, the bumps they hit along the way, the way she tied everything in at the end. I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. So excited for everybody to get to read this.

I love anything Katherine Center writes. She has such a way with telling stories that have such emotional depth with great characters. The chemistry, heart-warming moments and banter were absolutely everything.

Many thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for my gifted ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. This one hits shelves June 11, 2024.

Aspiring screenwriter, Emma gets the opportunity of a lifetime when she is offered to re-write a script for THE Charlie Yates. Her writing hero. After caring for her father for years, she asks her sister to take over for six weeks as Emma makes her way to L.A.

I really enjoy Center's writing. This is my third book by her and have not been let down yet! This one does start out a little slow and the romance between Charlie and Emma is kind of non-existent for quite some time. At least on Charlie's part. There is quite the back-story to each MC, which brings some much needed depth. Without that the story could sometimes be a little sleepy.

BUT, the last 25% of the book Center shines and she knocks it out of the park. There are some twists that I did not see coming and so many quotes that I highlighted. I ended up loving this book and how it all tied together in the end.

It had a great message and I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as i did.

Received this ARC from NetGalley. I loved this book because it made me feel emotions, it made me feel hopeful, and it made me feel grateful. Katherine Center really brought out her A-game for this one. I enjoyed it and read it easily. A great summer read.

Katherine Center has done it again! The Rom-Commers was amazing! The characters were vibrant, loveable, and beautifully broken. This made me laugh, cry, and smile. I definitely recommend this book.

Another great novel by Katherine Center. I read it in one day while trying to get over a migraine and it was a great distraction. The characters are likeable. The plot is not at all realistic, but it’s a rom com and I expect that. It’s a great beach read or escape read. The epilogue was a lovely ode to understanding rom-com as a genre. It’s not that bad things don’t happen in happily ever after, it’s just that there is a happy ending to be grateful for and do the best to maintain amidst life’s peaks and valleys.

Thank you to Net Galley, and publisher, for this ARC.

Katherine Center has always been at the top of my 'TBR", and for good reason! Once again, she's delivered a can't put down, stay up all night, cancel all your plans, kind of read.

Katherine Center is always a dependable read! A funny, light, fun and cute romance novel. I will always pick up Katherine center books!

This book gets off to a strong start with Center painting a beautiful picture of the Wheeler family in Texas. Emma Wheeler writes rom-com screenplays. She’s never been able to follow her dreams because she’s also the caretaker for her dad who suffered a TBI in an accident that killed her mom ten years ago. When an old boyfriend gets her an opportunity to ghostwrite a screenplay for a famous LA writer, her father and sister make six weeks in LA possible. The screenwriter, Charlie Yates, is initially adverse to working with Emma but after a series of negotiations they reach an agreement. She moves into the guest quarters of his mansion. They set up a daily routine and slowly reveal themselves to each other. They are so endearing that I had to read this in small chunks because I didn’t want it to end. I thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read this ARC.

The Rom-Commers did not disappoint!! I loved this book, I loved all the characters, especially Emma’s dad. There was humor, seriousness, tears and romance. I will definitely be recommending this book to all my friends. Now that I read it, I think I’m going to have to get the audio version when it comes out! Release date 6/11/24.
Thanks to NetGalley for an arc of this awesome book!!

I can honestly say that I love Katherine Center even more with each book that she writes. The Rom-Commers is my new favorite of her works, and I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I loved it. I highlighted this ARC up like crazy and fully intend to annotate my physical copy once it gets out.

The relationship between Emma and Charlie was just too good, starting with reluctant allies and ending in romance. I loved the banter and how they just made each other better people. The focus on the domesticity of their relationship—grocery shopping, swimming, and cooking to name a few—was absolutely adorable and were my favorite parts.

Basically, everyone needs to read this book :)

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the characters. I loved their banter. I loved how it wrapped up and ended so nicely, as many rom-coms do! Check this one out if you want a light, fun read that will leave you believing in love! ♥️

Thank you NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review! ✨

I will say that my rating kept shifting from a 3-4 star throughout most of the book, but the ending helped save it. I was very mixed on the whiplash from both characters actions and feelings towards one another and while I suspected what was going on, it was still frustrating to read. Be prepared for tons of miscommunication in this. That being said, I really enjoyed this. It was a quick and fun read to help me through my reading slump. I loved Charlie and the banter between him and Emma. There were great dead pan one liners that had me laughing and smiling. Having read The Bodyguard, the sprinkle of Jack was also a pleasant unexpected surprise. This was one of 2024’s releases that I was most excited about, and it definitely lived up to my expectations! If you loved any of Center’s other books, you’ll definitely enjoy this!

This book was absolutely delightful! The characters were charming, the banter between Emma and Charlie was witty and deserving of a chef's kiss. 🤌🏻 It made me laugh, it made me cry, and when it releases, I will certainly buy!
If this is ever made into a movie, Charlie absolutely should be played by Jason Sudeikis.
The Rom-Commers now reigns as my #1 favorite Katherine Center novel, and it will undoubtedly be one of my favorite books of this year. It was a gem!
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exhange for my honest opinion and review.

This was an absolutely captivating story! I loved the banter, the ever-honest inner dialogue of the characters, and the tribute to the sometimes quirky, unexpected, and astonishing power of love.

The characters were real & charming, the plot was so much fun and the ending would put any Oscar winning movie to shame!

Well done!

The character development in The Rom-Commers is truly exceptional. The characters are beautifully crafted with depth, flaws, and relatable qualities that make them feel incredibly real. As the story unfolds, you witnesses their personal growth and transformation.

The Rom-Commers is a must-read for anyone who enjoys cute romance novels with compelling character development and an ending that you may not see coming. It's a tale of love, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

This was my first book by Katherine Center and it did not disappoint! I was obsessed with it. It was one of those books that had me itching to pick it up every spare second I got. This book had me giggling, swooning, & crying. You know a book is good, when you feel all the emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed Emma and Charlie together. I loved his gruff swagger and her quirky spunk. They had some great playful banter and swoony moments. This book was so well-done and well written! I will definitely be reading some of her other books next! Perfect book for the summer! Pub date is June 11!

I love Katherine Center books! I get so excited when she releases a new book, and this one did not disappoint. Emma is so lovable from the beginning. I wanted the best for her because of the tragedies in her life and how much she sacrificed for her dad. I was hoping her charm and personality would win Charlie over. I enjoyed reading about their working relationship and friendship. I love how Katherine Center incorporates characters from other books into her stories, it’s so delightful. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Katherine Center is one of the best at a fantastic romantic comedy!

This book is everything you didn’t know you needed. Emma and Charlie have the best chemistry and witty banter. You experience all their highs and lows. This romantic comedy gives you hope, to strip it away, but give that same hope right back to you. Perfect ending. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this book! I would definitely put this book on your TBR!!

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for this ARC!
