The Rom-Commers is the titular tale of two screenwriters who write completely opposite things. Emma has always loved romance and rom-coms, which keep her going as she cares for her father. After a tragic accident, she has felt unable to leave his complicated medical care to anyone else. When her agent lures her out to LA, she meets her screenwriter hero- Charlie. Only Charlie isn’t anything like she thought he would be and is completely disinterested in working with her. Yet when they are forced to work together, will romance spark off the page?
I loved The Rom-Commers so much! Every time I read a new Katherine Center book, it becomes my new favorite and The Rom-Commers is no exception. Center writes outstanding dialogue and lovable characters. There is always an undertone that pulls at your heart and Emma’s devotion to her dad in the wake of his accident feels so realistic. While she loves her dad dearly, it is hard to serve as both a daughter and a caregiver. Charlie is a fascinating character who has achieved milestones in his career, yet remains unsatisfied. Emma is such a strong and determined heroine who refuses to put up with Charlie’s dismissive attitude toward romance. I loved the diving board scene so much! Charlie and Emma have excellent banter and tension-filled scenes as they each strive toward their goals.
Readers who enjoy opposites-attract romance, hilarious dialogue, and lovable characters will enjoy The Rom-Commers.
