I really enjoyed The Rom-Commers. At first I had to suspend my disbelief because I found the set up/premise a little bit unbelievable, but once I got into the story I didn't care about that, which is exactly how it should be with this kind of book.
So this is about a talented screenplay writer who's career never took off because she had to be the caregiver for her dad after a bad accident that disabled him. One day her ex boyfriend who is her agent suddenly gets her a job working with her favourite movie writer of all time who is a huge celebrity (you can see why I felt the premise was a bit unrealistic, but as you get more into it some things make more sense).
This is definitely a slow burn but I liked that there wasn't too much angst or miscommunication which I find is overused in romance novels. I always enjoy stories about celebrities and Hollywood etc cus I think it's a fun setting, and I'm a big movie fan as well so reading those details can be interesting. The banter in this book was witty and not over the top, and the chemistry was believable.
This was my first book by this author but I'll definitely be adding her other books to my list!
