I loved everything about this book. The love hate relationship, the troubles, the overcoming. The Hollywood vibes. It felt real life with her family situation but still had the star struck feel with his. At the end of the day we are all people and you can see that on their journey. Katherine Center does it again!

I will always read anything by Katherine Center. I loved this book, as usual, the emotions and characters and the backstory worked well together. While some aspects were a little redundant in this novel, I enjoyed the way that the story unfolded and the characters grew together. Trigger warnings for mentioning of cancer in the past (off page struggle), parental death, and guilt.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this copy in exchange for my honest review!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!!!

I love Katherine center!!! I loved this!!! Every second of this was a yes from me!! I could not stop reading!!

Thank you, NetGalley for access to the amazing Katherine Center's books! I LOVE HER.
The Rom-Commers was such a fun read about 2 authors who are working together on their own book. The sexual tension was exciting, the back-and-forth banter was fun, and their connection left me on the edge of my seat WHILE I WAITED FOR THEM TO FIGURE IT OUT!!!
Center's books are always a treat and this one was no exception!

This book is a love letter for romance readers. Like other Katherine Center books, this felt like a warm hug.

Katherine Center just keeps getting better with time.
She has a way of taking you on a roller coaster ride that you simply don't want to get off! I laughed, I cried, then I laughed and cried some more. I don't typically reread books, but I have a feeling I'll keep coming back to this one time and time again.

Loved this one! The characters in this book were really relatable and enjoyable to follow along to! I loved the romance in this book! The relationship between the characters was great and the story was super fun to follow along to! Definitely recommend reading this book!

What’s not to love? Enemies to lovers? Check. Banter? Check. Build up? Check. Katherine Center is a must buy romance author for me. The way she writes characters and their depth is always enjoyable to read. I also love they’re usually older than 20 so that’s a plus in my book. Definitely recommend!

Every single time I read a Katherine Center novel I say it's my favorite - so no surprise, this one is my favorite, and less of a surprise, Charlie Yates is my new favorite book boyfriend. I loved the dynamic between Emma and Charlie - KC is my reigning queen of banter - and circling back to characters from previous novels. I smile just thinking about and was so happy to gift copies of this one to a few friends for the holidays. Bring on her next novel - I need a 2025 favorite!

I really enjoyed this book. I love a grumpy MC and a down on her luck plucky FMC that makes him believe in love again. I fell in love with these characters.

I both really enjoyed this one and wished for more. I think my biggest issue was the MC's never really seemed to grow or process their traumas. The FMC made terrible decisions and didn't seem to work on herself at all. In the end it made her seem immature and sort of unlikable. What really bothered me what how mad she got at her younger sister near the end when she basically said the same thing.. I kept waiting for another character to call her out. The MC was ok and the initial grumpiness worked, but it was rare to see his soft side peek through which dulled the romance.

Love Katherine's books still - this one just wasn't my favourite of the books previously read.

I've loved some of Katherine Center's other books, but this one unfortunately fell a bit flat for me. I didn't hate it or love it. It was just... okay. I didn't really feel the chemistry between Charlie and Emma. And I never really connected with them. The health "scare" could be very triggering for some readers, and the outcome was sort of a cop out in my opinion. Which should not have been used with this sort of health scare. I did like some of the witty banter and reading about screenwriting- sort of a fun change! Overall,
I probably would not recommend this one.

Katherine Center has become an auto-buy author for me! She writes the sweetest stories that are jam-packed with emotion. And I know that by the end, there is going to be a HEA that was worth the buildup - The Rom-Commers is no different. One of my favorite aspects of the Katherine Center’s writing is that the story begins immediately. There’s no slow build up or long details to set up the plot. No, the story starts and the readers are along for the ride.

Emma and Charlie just make sense together as coworkers/friends/lovers. The way their relationship slowly morphed from forced to work together, to companionship, to a quasi-relationship felt very real. They brought out the best in each other while also helping each other grow. I wish the book was a bit longer just so that we could spend more time with these characters.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for giving me an ARC copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

I love a good rom-com, but this book? It’s better than any rom-com I’ve ever watched. It’s so good that I’m genuinely jealous of anyone who gets to read it for the first time.
This story is the perfect blend of forced proximity, quiet love, beautifully crafted phrases, heartbreak, growth, and connection. It feels as if our female main character is Belle, wandering—well-intentioned—into the Beast’s castle, but it’s truer than that, more real, more lovely.

Read this if you love Emily Henry or any of Katherine’s other works. Read it if you adore rom-coms, Hollywood stories, or if you want to cry a little and hope a lot.

I was given an advanced reader's copy via NetGalley, thank you to them. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Katherine Center is such a phenomenal writer and this book is just proves that. I adored the characters and the plot had me hooked from the beginning. All the stars, definitely recommend!

Emma Wheeler dreams of being a screenwriter and has put her dreams on hold to be a full time caretaker for her dad. Family trauma has left her tied to her family. A once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself to Emma, which would have her leaving home and leaving the caretaking responsibility to her sister. But Emma’s dreams collide with reality, she soon realizes that the real world is what she expected.
This book was sad, but happy. Joyful, yet wistful. A perfect combination of emotions to make this a delightful rom-com.
Katherine Center tends to be an automatic buy for me and this book did not disappoint. I would not recommend it as a beach book, but rather a cozy fall day book.

Leave it to Katherine Center to write a book called "The Rom-Commers" and for me to be ugly crying on my couch. For the record, this book is not sad. It is a delightful, rom-com about two people with baggage coming together and eventually falling in love (this is a romance so this is not a spoiler). There are some heavy moments, but generally it is banter and fun and loveliness. However, Katherine Center's writing consistently throws me into an emotional, existential crisis and I end up **waves my hands around** crying on my couch. Example: I cried for 4 hours after reading ONE line near the end of "Happiness for Beginners." One. Line. That's not to say that sobbing uncontrollably and self-reflecting will happen for you when you read her novels, but Katherine Center's writing really hits all the emotional beats for me for some reason. She captures the human experience so well and writes such well-rounded characters. The Rom-Commers is more in the vein of The Bodyguard, in terms of it being a lighter, rom-com story instead How to Walk Away and Things You Save in the Fire.

I could go on and on, but basically the book was great. I cried, but you probably won't. Katherine Center is a wonderful writer. I highly recommend it.

I really really enjoyed this book. I felt all the emotions and enjoyed the ride. Katherine Center is such a favorite!

I wanted to love it and i did! It was the book she was meant to write ❤️I went to Katherine Center's reading & book signing. So many moments made the event memorable, but hearing her say to her overflowing crowd of readers that this was the book she was meant to write made me love it even more. Her novels are sweet and have a slow build and her readers KNOW there will be a happily ever after ending. Thank you so much to #NetGalley for the opportunity to preview The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center. I LOVED it and already am looking forward to her next release!
