Whenever I have the latest novel by Katherine Center in my hands, I just want to sink into a comfortable chair, shut out the rest of the world around me, and just curl up with her words. That to me is complete bliss.

The Rom-Commers was everything that I had hoped it would be. Another five-star read from one of my favorite authors. This novel had emotion, humor, romantic tension, and wonderful characters. Did I mention the romantic tension? Yes, well, that is my thing. The push and pull between the two main characters was everything that I adore. From beginning to end, this book stole my heart, and I didn’t care if I got it back.

How could a reader not love Emma Wheeler? Impossible! She was loyal, devoted, quirky, kind, and in need of a break – personally and career-wise. When she was offered the chance to help her all-time favorite screenwriter rewrite his romantic comedy, she was thrilled with the opportunity but filled with worry over leaving her primary obligation as caregiver for her dad. Even with her younger sister agreeing to come and care for their dad for the time that Emma would be away, she was still nervous to leave him.

As it turned out, Emma was not the only one with concerns. Charlie Yates just wanted to get this project done and over with. He didn’t write with anyone else, and romantic comedies were certainly not in his normal wheelhouse. This was a means to an end, and he just wanted to cross the finish line with something resembling a romance. Plain and simple. He certainly didn’t want to spend his days writing alongside of someone with very little experience.

Emma and Charlie had great banter. Their interactions throughout the book were golden. While Emma was a firm believer in love, Charlie had become much more cynical about the whole idea of love. Did I always like him? Nope. But as I mentioned, the push and pull, the will they-won’t they is basically what I live for in a romance book, so I was in my zone, feeling every little emotion right alongside of Emma.

Whenever I keep checking my Kindle to see how much time I have left in a novel, and dreading reaching that final page, I know I have found a winner. Katherine Center is one my favorite authors for a reason, and she never fails to put a smile on my face and deliver a story that finds a spot in my heart.
