The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker

01/24/2023

The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker

Narrated by Erika Schindele

Standalone. Clean Romance.

I requested The Rom-Com Agenda by Jayne Denker from NetGalley just for the title and cover. RomComs are my favorite trope both in books and movies, so this sounded perfect. It started out really strong but sadly didn’t stay that way.

Leah was great, I loved her character. She came back to town to help her foster mom while she was dying. Being a foster kid made her have trouble making friends and having roots, so after her foster mom dies, she works every odd job she could find to make enough money to leave town and move on.

While doing one of these odd jobs, Leah overhears Eli getting dumped by his girlfriend. He proposed after only a few short months, because she was leaving for Europe. He wants to win her back, so his sister and her friends are helping by giving him a complete makeover. But everywhere they go, Leah is working there and she end up getting roped into the makeover.

One of the ways they are trying to help him is by making him watch a ton of rom-com movies so he can learn from them, only Leah is the only one with a VCR. Leah clearly liked him yet all he did was pine away for his ex in Europe. I mean he was obsessed with his ex for the majority of the book! Leah deserved so much better.

Likes:

  • I liked Leah so much, and I loved her foster back story.
  • Her found family in Eli’s family.
  • I liked the old 80s/90s movie references.

Dislikes:

  • He pined away for his ex almost the whole book!
  • A few subplots were started and kind of left hanging.
  • It was very long for the story told at 11 hours.
  • Eli was a total wimpy guy with a nothing personality.
  • Single narrator/3rd person.

The Narration:

Erika Schindele was new to me and did a great job with the material. It was just a very strong 3rd person (if that makes sense? Sometimes you really notice, sometimes you don’t) and I felt like a male voice doing his sections would have helped.

The Down & Dirty:

The Rom-Com Agenda was an OK read for me. I put it down once and listened to another and came back to it hoping it was my mood, but it wasn’t. I wanted to punch Eli in the face and knock some sense into him for pining away for his ex and not seeing what’s in front of him, and I was mad at Leah for putting up with him. Though I can’t say I really didn’t like the book at all, I still wouldn’t recommend it.

Rating: 2.5 Stars, 0 Heat, 4 Narration

Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t k Formula 1 is by far the sexiest sport. I don’t know why we don’t have more romances set in racing and I’m so glad @kbromberg has set her latest series in my favorite sport. Riggs started off not-so-good but completely won me over with his sweet, fun, lighthearted personality. I laughed and I cried. It was slow-burn, but the last 25% had me riveted and I hate to wait until January for the next in the Full Throttle Series.

Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE a Fighting the Pull by @kristenashleybooks is LIVE at MIDNIGHT! While the River Rain Series has had its ups and downs for me, I absolutely loved Fighting the Pull. Elsa is by far my favorite heroine of the series and Hale was all bossy and sexy. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a billionaire either. As more and more background about the characters comes up, it’s made me want to re-read the whole series with new eyes while I anxiously await for the next in the series!

Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thor Don’t come for me! I listened to A Court of Thorns and Roses and enjoyed it but wasn’t raving about it, but everyone said I have to read the second book, A Court of Mist & Fury. I wish I could say I loved it, but I just liked it. With the next book being 25+ hours, I wasn’t willing to spend that time to continue the series. What are your thoughts?

Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’ Wow, We Own Tonight is an oldie but a goody! It’s been on my radar for years, but I never got to it. It had everything I love in a romance novel and more. Filled with romance, friendship, family, love, and heartbreak, We Own Tonight by @corinnemichaels left me wondering why I waited so long to read it; it’s no wonder it’s still so popular 6 years after release. I’m so excited to get mine signed here at #readersontheriver

Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another Runaway Groomsman by @meghanquinnbooks was another unique, feel-good story from one of my favorite authors. The Alzheimer’s storyline was very special and it’s what made this book stand out to me.  While not as spicy as most Meghan Quinn books, if you don’t mind a light, slow-burn story with some really beautiful family moments and wonderful town connections, you would enjoy Runaway Groomsman.
