I’ve loved every Katherine Center book I’ve read. She’s an auto-buy author for me. The Bodyguard is still my favorite followed by Hello Stranger. The Rom-Commers held up to my expectations! There was humor, fun, witty banter and heartwarming moments. Katherine Center’s books are more than just romance. She intertwines serious elements and ties it up with a beautiful message/lesson. 4 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this book so much. I am a Katherine Center superfan and will read everything she writes forever, but I think this might be my favorite one ever. I love books that have writing and writers and books and publishing as part of their fabric and heart, and this does it so beautifully! A good comp would be Jasmine Guillory’s By The Book, though I loved this one more probably; I love the forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, and I guess enemies to lovers-ish tropes here, and how creative and funny KC is in her approach to those. The two main characters are both so special and complicated — I love how fully and compassionately drawn they are, and the ways that they are able to interact and build chemistry from all of those complexities. The side characters and familial relationships are beautiful and complex in their own ways, and I love the perspective and context that these other relationships and that the main characters’ back stories give to the love story at the heart of the book. I loved this so much. Read!!!! 💜

The first half was hilarious, and I appreciated the unhinged writer rep. But the second half lost me. My main problem with it was that the love interest was mean. Not abusive, but rude. He doesn’t treat the MC nicely. The book says this is okay because he’s just pushing her away to protect her, but… no. He insults the MC several times out of nowhere and is very critical and snappy. My second problem was with the MC. She’s obsessed with “fixing” the love interest, which results in her kinda forcing him to do exposure therapy for various fears and getting mad at him for not wanting to, which made me uncomfortable. And the ending was way too heavy for a rom-com. Katherine Center did this in The Bodyguard too, throwing extremely serious and potentially triggering content into the story towards the end and then brushing it off in a rushed ending without treating this content with the care it deserves.

Kathrine Center is the romance queen. If you’re in the market for a hallmark movie in novel form, this book is for you.

First time reading a Katherine Center book and absolutely loved it. She has a way with the flow of the story that just work and makes sense, even though there is some stop/start and introspection from the narrator (FMC).

I DO wish that she had included CW's herself at the start of the book. The death of a parent/accident/and life as a full time caretake is very heavy.

This book just didn't hit well with me. I found the characters really hard to like and the story more depressing than loveable. This book touches on some really serious topics and is a very prominent focus of the story. I just didn't buy the romance between the two main characters either, we didn't really get much of a chance to see that relationship even grow to the point that the ending even seemed possible.
