The Virgin Romance Novelist Chronicles Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 2,802 ratings

From USA Today Bestselling Author Meghan Quinn, comes a hilarious romantic comedy that will touch your heart and cause you to roar with laughter as you escape into Rosie Bloom's attempt to write a romance novel.

Her bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch...

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

Goodness, I have no idea what I'm doing. I’m a virgin attempting to write a romance novel and I'm having an impossible time trying to write a passionate and swoon-worthy love scene worthy of being published, thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen, step outside my comfort zone, and gain some real life experience through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups. But losing my "flower" is proving to be much tougher than expected…

This is the story of my awkward, humiliating, and slightly terrifying life, but like all romance novels, I know it will end in a happily ever after. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

**WARNING: READ IN THE CONFINES OF YOUR OWN HOME DUE TO RANDOM OUTBURSTS OF LAUGHTER. IF YOU ARE ADDICTED TO CLIFFHANGERS, GETTING YOUR HEART RIPPED OUT OF YOUR CHEST AND FEELING LIKE A BULLDOZER JUST PLOWED THROUGH YOUR STOMACH, THEN THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU. IF YOU LIKE PEEING YOUR PANTS AND CRYING FROM LAUGHING SO HARD, THEN PLEASE CONTINUE READING.

    Meghan Quinn is hilarious! I definitely woke my husband up a few times while reading this set of stories. Between the situations she gets herself in and the verbal diarrhea, Rosie is a hoot and a half! And Henry is the *perfect* book boyfriend. (I totally licked him; he’s mine. Back off!) I love the dynamic between the two of them. And the feels are running rampant - there’s a little cringe, a little humor, a little heat, a little sadness, and a whole lotta heart. I really loved this book, and I think you will, too!

    This is a great series full of laughs and love.

    - The Virgin Romance Novelist –

    This story is sweet and full of laughs. And that ending, love!

    Rosie is 23, a virgin, and trying to write a romance novel. She needs experience and is ready to put herself out there and date. Let's just say that what ensues is filled with laughter, awkward moments, and some heartache.

    I truly enjoyed this story. This could have been titled - Rosie's Crazy Dating Adventures, LOL. If it could happen to this girl, it did. Honestly, there were times I couldn’t believe that a 23 year old could be so naive about so many things, but it sure kept the story interesting. I loved Rosie's roommates Delaney and Henry. The three are best friends and share everything, and I mean everything. Get ready for some laughs and to be swooned.

    This story is entertaining, heartwarming, and leaves a smile on your face.

    - The Randy Romance Novelist –

    Oh gosh, Rosie and Henry are so cute together. I loved getting to see them as a couple, their lives together, and what was to come for them. Rosie’s her quirky self and Henry is so sweet and patient. They’re a great couple. Such a fun, sweet story.

    Many times laughed out loud from this woman who was a virgin that believes everything she reads in a book when friends introduced her to the “luster” novels. She gets a bullet stuck and has to jump up and down to get it out but not before the panic of she was going to have to go to the ER to get it removed. She has a Brazilian wax for the first time getting major wax burns in the worst places, proceeds to put major amounts of powder in her panties to swing dance only to get a crowd to stare out the white cloud spewing out from under her skirt! That is a piece of the story before she is becomes to be sexually with a man. So this book is good for those who want a fun and comical read of a woman that has a quirky personality, does not hold any thoughts back, encountering many setbacks on losing her V card & finding her forever love.

    I loved the open, raw and honest approach to sex the roommates had and their "help" for Rosie and her curiosity. I wish this book would of been available when I was younger and curious myself. You feel "normal" now about those questions no one wanted to talk about back then. This book is funny, smooth reading and hard to have to put down due to work, sleep and other obligations. Meghan Quinn's books are always a fun read and end too soon. Her comments about what you can get out of romance novels through her main character Rosie was spot on. We all will wish we had had a Henry our first time, at least, with his patience and concern .
    Thank you Meghan. I had a good laugh but truly enjoyed all of the book in many ways.

    This is her early writing and she has grown a fib as a writer since 2018. It was a cute book and there were a lot of really funny parts, but there was also some parts that were just too out there. The MMC got in my nerves a lot with what a jerk he could be but he redeemed himself in the end. I liked it, just didn’t love it compared to her other work.

    I just finish this book - I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to put my thoughts down. This is an epic romance. And by epic I mean a well developed, detailed story about a strong friendship that morphs into realization of love, then expanding into a family and finding a happily ever after. I enjoy these characters so much!

    I admit that the format of the story is a little different - the first part of the book is only from the female lead’s perspective, and the rest provides both sides. But for me that helped build up all that delicious tension that a good,sexy love story has!!! I really enjoyed the main characters and their best friends. I loved that it went on after the “typical HEA” point of a story - there was more detail and character development, and I liked that. There are some really funny aspects to this story. But I loved the HEA - and all the sexy parts too :) I do recommend this book!!!

    No cliffhanger
    Standalone, 3 books in 1
    Part 1 is female POV only. Part 2&3 is both POVs
    Minor editing issues throughout

    I really liked part 1. I found myself laughing out loud almost every single chapter. It was the craziest, funniest situations I’ve ever read about. It’s everything that you didn’t know you wanted to read in a book.

    Some of it is beyond insane, but some of it really is stuff that happens in real life and I liked this book was about “real life” and not just a perfect love story.

    Part 2 wasn’t my favorite, I found myself scanning some of the pages and just focusing on the dialogue.

    Part 3 was great. It was nice to see their HEA.

    Overall I liked the book but I will say I didn’t realize I was signing up for 3 books in 1 and over 600 pages. My fault for not looking at the book details closer.

    And so so true

    I found the start a little difficult, I dunno, maybe it was me, but once I was in I was hooked. I loved it. I think I'd go back and read again right now but there's a book two, i hadnt realised this was a compilation, see you on the other side.

    ....

    OK book 2 done, still funny, I can see myself so often in this. it's great and so well read.

    ....

    Book 3, I laughed and laughed it hit the nail on the head, glad I had a baby girl after reading this lol

    This book was absolutely hilarious and one of my top romantic comedies that I have read! Meghan writes with a lot of humour and heart.

    Rosie is curious, shy, and inexperienced and that causes a lot of funny scenarios to occur. What's a girl got to do to lose her virginity around here? Go on a few dates, kiss a few unlikely men? You will have to read this humorous book to know.

    The secondary characters were also amazing, Delaney is definitely a scene stealer her one liners and sass was very enjoyable. Last but certainly not least, Henry was tall, swoony, and great friend to Rosie always assuring her she was beautiful and her approach albeit challenging was going to get her book made and she was going to lose her virginity.

    I definitely recommend me this if you want a book that will have you laughing with tears streaming down your face because you cannot contain it or if you want a book to remind you how awkward it is when it's your first time.

    It needs a good edit, but it was actually laugh out loud funny. My sides ache, there are tears in my eyes and I’m pretty sure the neighbours two streets over want to know what’s so funny. I read it in one sitting and would definitely recommend (especially after an editor gets their hands on it).
