THE PERFECT ROM-COM

Karissa Vacker narrates this slow-burn romance set in the publishing world with verve and enthusiasm. Bryony Page, whose warmth and slightly frantic manner come through in Vacker's expressive tones, heads off to her first writer's conference. She hopes to find a literary agent to sell her debut novel, inspired by her beloved grandmother's creation of a center to teach English to multilingual learners. Instead, famed literary agent Jack Sterling, voiced in a brusque, businesslike manner, invites Bryony to ghostwrite bestselling romance author Anelia Benedict's new book. As Bryony heads out on the book tour with Jack and his team, she and Jack find themselves growing attracted to each other. Those who enjoy a sweet closed-door romance with a satisfying surprise ending will savor this story. M.J. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2025]
