I loved this book. Just the title of this book pulled me in, but let me tell you it was more than I hoped. There was a cute meet, misunderstandings, friends, family, and insta-love. Lisa and Ryan are perfect. The whole cast of characters is just wonderful. The only thing that I am upset about is that I have to wait a month before the next one comes out. If you love Rom Coms this book is for you.

Close friends Lisa, Mindy, Ruby, and Tina have a monthly Rom Com Movie Club they always plan for. With Tina the first of the friends getting ready to walk down the aisle, Lisa meets Ryan who is the brother of Tina’s fiancée. Ryan is intrigued by Lisa and they find themselves dating but if it doesn’t work could it destroy the friendship she has with Tina or could it be the best thing that ever happened to her?
I really enjoyed this one. As a movie buff this one checked my list of books to read. I also am a big fan of food especially food blogger’s as plot line and this had it as well. Really entertaining and I think it had a very honest feel for the couples and characters who look out for one another. Entertaining story, look forward to the next book.

The Rom Com Movie Club- Book One by Bernadette Marie was such a great read. It is a contemporary romance, with witty humour, banter, friendship, fate, angst, drama, chemistry, and wonderful characters. This grabbed me right from the start and I soon found myself fully immersed in the story, reading the whole thing in one sitting. The characters were really well-crafted into fully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. Our MC’s are both a little broken and carry their own pain- and were so great together. There was a little insta-love, but the author didn’t make it too easy for them, throwing in a little drama and angst, as well as meddling friends and family, to build some tension and keep us (the reader) turning the pages to find out how it all plays out in the end. Another to add to my list of favourites by Bernadette Marie. Bring on Book #2! Happy Reading…

Lisa, Mindy, Ruby, and Tina have been friends since college. Although Lisa didn’t actually attend college, she met the other girls while working at the coffee shop the others were at to study. The girls adopted Lisa into their lives, and they became an instant chosen family. Every month they gather together for a Rom Com movie night of food, face masks, and toe nail polish. On Lisa’s night, Lisa meets Tina’s soon to be brother-in-law, Ryan, and is instantly attracted to him. Tina, in the throes of wedding madness, tells Lisa that under no circumstance is she ok with her dating Ryan. While the other girls all try to help even out Tina’s wedding mania, Ryan pursues a relationship with Lisa. Can Lisa find a way to balance her love for Ryan and not get caught up with comparing their love to a Rom Com? Can Tina see that her friend’s happiness is worth more than her feelings?
Wow. What a great first book to a series! Each character was well written and all relatable. The author did a fantastic job of describing anxiety and how it affects those who suffer from it. The girls’ relationships with each other are something that everyone should have. Love that is deep and willing to tell the truth even when it hurts. People in their corner, cheering them on but pulling them back from the crazy ledge. I am really looking forward to reading about the other girls finding love!

I have been a fan of Bernadette Marie for a while now. So I was very excited to start another book by her. Once again, I was not disappointed. It is what I have come to know and love from her. A book with wonderful characters and fantastic plot line and me not wanting the story to end. I always feel like I am one of the characters in the story when I read her stories. I absolutely loved this story. Lisa, Mindy, Ruby and Tina are the types of friends I have wanted for myself but have never found. They are the friends that get together once a month to celebrate friendship and watch a romantic comedy. Their night is full of traditions – starting with wearing a baggy college sweatshirt and pretending it is the sleepovers they loved as teenagers. The biggest tradition of all is the searching for the happily ever after through film. This time however, things begin to go a little sideways and their friendships are tested. Lisa has not exactly believed in happy endings, but she loves the idea of them. Tina is getting married and stressed out beyond belief. She is venting to Lisa about how she is sharing her future in-laws house and how that house is growing by one more. Her fiancee’s brother is moving home. Lisa asked to see a picture of Ryan and sparks instantly flew. When they met the chemistry was unimaginable. However, it also tested the waters of the girls’ friendship. The last think Lisa wants to do is ruin Tina’s wedding, but should she have to walk away from her happily ever after? Or will Tina come around and see how much happiness and love Ryan and Lisa have for one another. I definitely love this story and the characters. I cannot recommend this story enough to those that love a good comfort of a story about friendship and love.

Lisa, Tina, Mindy, and Ruby are the proud founders of the rom com movie club. A special tradition that got them through college and fortified their friendship. Lisa is the oldest of the group and had had some hardships in her life: as a foster kid only her final family provided her with enough love and kindness so she could get her life together at a very young age. When she gets a job as a barista at a coffee shop near where the rest of the girls go to school, the life changing moment makes everything new and long lasting.
Ryan Blair is back home after a serious spin on his love and work life. Not only he returns to his parents home but to his brother’s, Aaron, wedding, he happens to be engaged to Tina. Soon after his arrival Aaron presents him to Tina’s friends, and Lisa catches his eye, little he knows that Lisa has her eye on him as well.
A romantic story of two characters that had a few scars to heal, and how in the development of their love story friends and family get in the way trying to tell them how and when it is ok to be together.

The Rom Com Movie Club. Just the name inspires fun and good feelings. I wonder when I should start my own club. Bernadette has of course hit the nail on the head with this new delightful Rom Com series. It is so easy to get lost in this tale and before you know it you have come to the end.
It is also told in dual POV which is my favourite way to tell a story. There is insta love but it’s done so well that it doesn’t matter in this story when you know you know not that it bothers me anyway but just saying. Opposites definitely attract in this tale.
When he sees her in the delightful facial mask and pretty polish on her toes, he realises she is the one for him and the fun begins.
I was worried about her best friend I mean who thinks she is out to ruin her wedding just because she has found a man. Ok so he is her brother-in-law to be but seriously! Really, I did want to smack her for a minute or two.
I am excited to see where this series goes. I anticipate more fun, a lot steamy and some clever wit.

Ok, please excuse the fan girl in me-but you need to read this book right now! It was flipping amazing from start to finish I could not put this one down, it engaged me and captivated me! Perfect read!
This book was realistic in many ways. I know I love my romance books, and how girls meet guys, and live happily ever after, No one ever talks about them in between! In this book, Ryan and Lisa and have the perfect match. But to stay together there are many obstacles, characters, and drama they have to fight against! Sure it would be easier to quit, but when you have something sooo good is it not worth fighting for? The book really spoke to me, and the characters sucked me in! This quickly became a new favorite for me!
I truly loved this book. And again very much a high recommendation from myself and you need to read this book sooner than later! Definitely a well worth reading of a book and author!

I absolutely adored Ryan and Lisa’s story. The instant connection, the tension, the supporting characters, the way everything just MESHED so perfectly.
I can honestly say I loved every aspect of this book. Ryan and Lisa’s instant love, even though she was less than presentable when they met, their hardships with Tina and Aaron during their wedding, the friendship the girls found. All of it just makes this wonderful story about love and friendship and instant connections.

This book was a true delight to read. A fun, entertaining romp through the rom com’s as we follow Lisa and Ryan’s relationship. Oh, the chemistry is bubbling, the trouble is brewing and the laughs are coming. Most people who have been in relationships can relate to this romance. I found the characters relatable. It kind of felt like Tina & Aaron were the back story. I love Ryan and Lisa. Their story shows how they have to work to make love work. All the references to the Rom Com movies are terrific. We needed this book. The writing is full of light humor, contemporary, and just plain entertaining. This author writes in a tone that makes the story feel real, like you are there and these could be your friends. I can’t wait for book two. A definite favorite of mine.

Once a month, for as long as they’d been friends, Lisa, Mindy, Ruby, and Tina gathered for Rom Com Movie Club night. Facial masks, nail polish, and wine could settle the world around them as they dished on movies that made them want to love—even if the premise of happily ever after seemed far-fetched.
Having been tossed around from home to home growing up, Lisa didn’t have much of an idea of what happily ever after was supposed to look like. Her friends had become her stable home, and their love was enough to carry her though day to day. But life had always thrown obstacles at her, she never considered it might throw a man her way, which would cause a rift with her best friend before her best friend’s wedding.
When things went bad, it usually started a trend, and Ryan was caught in that loop when he decided to return home to live with his parents until some other opportunity came his way. He had no idea that opportunity was going to come right at him when he followed his brother into the girly chaos that was Rom Com Movie Club night, and he fell head over heels for Lisa, in a clay facial mask and wet toenails.
Falling in love with her best friend’s soon to be brother-in-law wasn’t ideal timing, but when had timing ever been on Lisa’s side? Now with a man who loves her and a best friend who assumes Lisa’s out to ruin her wedding, Lisa must decide which happily ever after she wants. The one with the man and the fairy tale ending, or the love of a friend who has been there for her whenever she needed her.
