Thank you to NetGalley for providing an eARC of this story, this is my objective review. Vanessa is a newly hired manager at a Florida amusement park. (As a Central Floridian, it was fun to spot similarities between this fictionalized version and a certain IRL theme park.) Thomas is a park employee who is secretly working to unionize the park workers, much to the unhappiness of the owner of the park and upper management. Attraction grows as they get to know one another, but will the unionization concerns keep them on opposite sides? Workplace romances aren't usually my thing since I get bogged down in worrying about potential HR pitfalls, but this book had some of those going on already and it was easy to get past that. There was a satisfying thread of tension with the union issue, which also lent some much-needed tension to Thomas and Vanessa's growing attraction to one another. I liked both Thomas and Vanessa a lot as characters. This quick read was a light closed-door flirty romance with humorous elements and a satisfying conclusion. It was actually a little too light for me but was written engagingly enough. I gave it 3 stars but it was closer to 3.5 stars.

Roller Coaster Romance is a quick contemporary romance. I loved Vanessa and Thomas and the idea of the plot.

The story wasn't bad but it just fell short. I wish we had more depth of these characters (backgrounds and descriptions) and more body to the story. There didn't seem to actually be much romance between the mcs.

A fun short read set in a theme park. Vanessa is a manager and Thomas is an employee trying to unionise the rest of the employees. I liked how it was told from both points of view and how it makes to think more about workers rights.

Vanessa was the manager of Destiny Park where Thomas was an employee. There were management and employee problems and unions forming with some humorous relationships between the employees. The setting of the book was enjoyable to read about, but there wasn't really much romance in my opinion.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 👻 (bc there was one kiss)

Listen, the nostalgia I had for family Disney vacations while reading this was STRONG. Vanessa gets her dream job as a manager at Destiny Park, but she’ll have to navigate a heated environment where workers are trying to unionize and tensions heat up with her employee Thomas.

I loved this world, and I *LOVE* workers’ rights!! Unionizing is hot! The romance is secondary to the story for sure, but oddly I was totally fine with it because I love a unionizing story.

As a past Disneyland Imagineer, I absolutely loved this! What a wonderful setting for a romance and I think this was SO MUCH BETTER than Lauren Asher's Dreamland Billionaires trilogy (which I personally thought was such a waste of time). This was what I'll suggest instead of that. What great fun!

Thank you to NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book was about a girl who becomes a manager at a theme park. She walks into the role during a lot of turmoil. Will she find love and help the employees too?

Unfortunately, I didn't love this book. The adorable cover is what drew me in, and the title was a lot of fun. I think this book has a lot of potential, and could be great.

The writing was confusing more often than not. It felt like it flipped back and forth between 1st and 3rd person. The romance was pretty non existent, and the book felt unfinished in parts.

I'm glad the author allowed me to read the book, and the premise is cute. I just didn't feel that the book felt finished.

It was super cute!! Nothing super groundbreaking in my opinion but if you want a cute goofy dual POV romance this is a wonderful book to pick up. It’s also a pretty fast pace for anyone who isn’t a fan of slow burns or just really needs that short sweet romance vibe to cheer them up. Definitely a cute pick me up romance I loved it.

3.5 Stars! This book was a super quick, light, quirky rom-com that takes you on a ride—quite literally! Sparks fly as the characters navigate the ups and downs (pun intended) of their relationship, all while dealing with the chaos of running a theme park.

To be honest, it took me a while to get into the book. The beginning felt a bit slow, and I didn’t instantly connect with the characters. However, once the story picked up, the charm started to shine through. Moseman’s witty humor and the unique setting made it stand out from typical rom-coms. The theme park backdrop added a fun twist, especially for anyone who's ever been fascinated by amusement parks or worked in one. The character's banter is playful, and though the romance develops predictably, it’s still enjoyable to watch.

If you’re looking for a lighthearted, easy read with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of romance, Roller Coaster Romance is a cute pick.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC for an honest review.
