The Perfect Rom-Com

By: Melissa Ferguson

Narrated by: Karissa Vacker

"Melissa Ferguson delivers yet another sparkling, laugh-out-loud romance!"—RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author

She’s written dozens of smash-hit romance novels. Too bad no one knows it.

Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for The Bridge, her grandmother’s financially struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. But after a disastrous pitch session, she stumbles into correcting another author’s work in a last-ditch attempt to make a good impression with the agent. And she, as it turns out, is spot on.

No one is more surprised than Bryony when the agent offers her the opportunity to be a ghostwriter for Amelia Benedict, popular rom-com novelist. Bryony agrees on one condition: she’ll write books for this vain, demanding woman just as long as Jack Sterling, literary agent of the legendary Foundry Literary Agency, works to sell her own book too.

What nobody predicted, however, was that Bryony’s books would turn Amelia Benedict into the Amelia Benedict, household name and bestselling author with millions of copies sold around the world.

And just like that, the Foundry Agency can’t let her go.

But on a personal note, Jack is realizing he can’t either.

Don't miss the delightful romantic comedy, The Perfect Rom-Com by Melissa Ferguson, a story of two seemingly mismatched hearts brought together by fate, proving that sometimes, the perfect love story is hidden in the pages of a well-loved book.

" . . . clever and adorable . . . brimming with warm humor and a lot of heart . . . "—Rachel Linden, bestselling author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie

"I loved this book!"—Sheila Roberts, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Best Life Book Club

"I couldn't put this book down!"—Suzanne Allain, author of Mr. Malcolm's List

Sweet story with loveably characters

Romance with all the feels but non of the smut. Wholesome read. Melissa’s books would make the funnest movies. Her characters are deep and the stories are not overly cheese. Such a sweet read.

Wish it wouldn’t end!

I love every one of Melissa’s books and usually finish them a day or two after the release! Her storytelling is charming, laugh out loud humorous and emotionally fulfilling. The plot line on this one is so unique and I was drawn in immediately.
Equally well done was the performance, this narrator had a perfect delivery and was enjoyable to listen to.

Every Bryony needs a Jack

I absolutely loved this book. The ending had me in so many happy tears that I needed to just sit there and take it all in.

Funny, swoon-worthy HEA

Loved the characters and their chemistry, the perfectly creative and ADORABLE story line and the narrator!
Another fantastic book by one of my very favorite authors!

LOVED it!!

With a name like “the perfect rom-com” the book already set the bar high. I have always loved this author, and I think this book is her best one yet!
It’s a clean romance (no swearing or sex), that made me laugh at loud.
I definitely recommend this book, and the audio version is performed impeccably well! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!

Favorite narrator, amazing story

This is a new-to-me favorite narrator. Loved the performance! The story, a rom com, was hilarious, creative, and has nice depth as well. Loved the peek into the ESL world of people new to America. Beautiful!

Loved it!

Such a cute storyline; love Melissa Ferguson’s books. Each new one is my new favorite of hers!

True to the title

This book is so true to its title. I love this author, all of her books hit that perfect rom com mark

Fun listen

Nice, engaging story. I did not want it to end. Fun characters and story with an interesting twist at the end.

Laughed about and loved it!

I love Melissa Ferguson rom-com books and have listened to all. This one touched me in many ways being an immigrant myself and having worked in a Publishing House for 15 years in my first job. It is a great story and I highly recommend it.
Karissa Vacker was able to make the story and characters so real and alive that many times I laughed out loud in public areas while listening the book in my earbuds. She has a gifted voice but also the ability to give life with her vivid interpretation.
Great book!
