The Ro Bro

De: JA Huss, Johnathan McClain

Narrado por: Julia Whelan, Johnathan McClain, Anne Pepperidge

Essie Smith-Scott, the author known as SS, has been the number one erotic romance writer in the world for the past ten years.

Movie deals, merchandise, dozens of books on the New York Times bestseller’s list, and the founder of the biggest romance convention to ever hit the planet.

Scoring an invitation to the Sin With Us Romance Convention in Las Vegas is the big break every romance author hopes for, and Cynthia Lear’s name just made it to the top of the waitlist. She’s in. And she’s gonna make the most of it. This is her chance to shine and propel her career into the stratosphere.

But then she meets Essie’s twin brother, Steve. Not only is Steve Smith handsome and charming, he loves her work—and he’s also…lying. To the whole world. Literally everyone.

Because his twin sister, Essie, isn’t the one who’s been writing all those super-spicy Master Choke books all these years—it’s Steve.

Written by New York Times bestselling author JA Huss and actor, author, and narrator Johnathan McClain—The Ro Bro is a rompy feel-good adventure through the secret life of romance authors and the conventions they attend. Prepare to laugh so hard you pee your pants. This is a story that will make you smile every time you think about it.

(P.S. If you’ve never been to the biggest romance convention in the world, well, now you don’t even have to go. Because they all happen just like this.) ;)

An effulgence of wit & romance

I had left a five star review, but I woke up this morning calling every group that came to mind an effulgence of [group of stuff]. I thought I should share. Food Lion delivered an effulgence of groceries. We drank an effulgence of margaritas. #AnEffulgenceOfRoBro

Sooooo Eff'ing GOOD!!!

This book has become one of my top three favorites by JA Huss (and Jonathan McClain) which was incredibly hard to narrow down considering Ford has been (and will ALWAYS be) my own personal version of an "ultimate wet dream"!!
Steve Smith has just become a serious contender for second place though.
This was just an absolute laugh out loud joy to read.
Since I first read the Rook & Ronin series, anything written by Julie (and now Julie & Jonathan) has been an automatic one click and buy.
(do not pass go..do not collect $200)
The Ro Bro just reinforces that decision.
Now..as for the narration in this delicious bit of prose..well..I'm not sure how it could possibly have been any better.
Seriously!!
Cordelia came alive and her wordy little quirks were portrayed PERFECTLY!
Steve was represented as if...the part was written FOR him!! (🤭😉🤫)
All kidding aside, the faultless performance by Tad just highlighted the unbelievable chemistry between Steve and Cordie.
Just an exemplary production all the way around.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is an outright 27 out of 5 star read in my opinion.

Good Fukln' Job Y'all 👍

Behind the curtain

Jonathan and Julie don’t disappoint in this funny, romantic peek behind the curtain of romance writers. Although I have never had to use a dictionary while listening to an audiobook, it was well worth it (and my vocabulary has improved!). Witty and entertaining.

Yes Sir, may I have some more

I never write reviews. Ever. This is my first. Funniest, wordiest, best book ever! Had to look up the meaning to some of the words. I love when a book makes you do that. The magic in this book is real from the characters to the plot. I think Raylen/Leslie was the one of the best characters to love and hate. I mean you feel bad for her but you don't. I loved everything about this book. Made me LOL and tear up too. Thank you again Julie and Jonathan for another wonderful read, books are my escape and when it's a good book it leaves you feeling the best!

Amazing!!!

I have enjoyed every book that these two authors have collaborated on, so I went into this one with pretty high expectations, and they did not disappoint!
The premise of the book revolves around an indie author finally getting her big break at a Las Vegas book signing and of course, hilarity ensues. Like all Vegas events, there is a meet cute, crazy fans, sexy, narrators, swing dancing, and an ambulance ride to the ER.
What more could you ask for, lol?

Fun story

This was a fun story with lots of laugh out loud moments. I love the stories these two authors create. The narrators did a superb job bringing the characters to life. Tad Branson is one of my favorites

Loved!

I absolutely loved this book!! I’ve read so many of Julie’s book plus Johnathan’s!! I’m one of your biggest fans!! Keep writing & I’ll be reading!!

Loved it!

The Rho Bro was AWESOME! Classic J.A. And Jonathan. I loved the story and as usual there’s a lot to the characters. I love the voices in the Rho Bro, and how anxious the heroine was at her first event and the love story that ensued. Not the sexiest read but I still found it perfect! It was straight fun and love, with some angst! Loved it, and would read again!

Narration was amazing! The narrators REALLY brought this story to life..Bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hands down the very best audio!

I am almost speechless after listening to this epic narration. The story is like nothing I have ever read before and by far my all time favourite. I wish I could go back to reading-read it for the first time kind of good. J A Huss and Johnathan McClain are a writing dream team. They said this is a love story for the readers and throughout this book that is exactly how it felt. It feels like they knew what we needed, wrote it to perfection and performed it in the most spectacular way. Wordsmiths and geniuses of their craft this is top tier Rom Com writing. I cannot speak to how incredible the dialogue and the writing in general pulls you in and makes you feel every word to your core. A beautiful story written by 2 of the best writers in the game.

Loved this book!

I read a lot. Many of my reviews are 4star but this is a HIGH FIVE STAR for sure! I found myself laughing out loud and giggling many times. Thank you so much!
