"A Night at the Monte Carlo" Ranked #1 Romance Book for 2022

Los Angeles, California May 2, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - "A Night at the Monte Carlo", written by Author Elizabeth Rossi, was just ranked by popular vote as the #1 Romance Novel of 2022 by Online Book Club fans. This site consists of 2+ million avid readers, that actively rank and comment on their favorite books and authors.

Since its release in late 2020, Rossi's debut novel has been receiving reviews as a feel-good laugh-out-loud romantic comedy, which is exactly what the author had hoped for. "I wanted to give people an escape during the pandemic and help them laugh and remember falling in love. It feeds my soul knowing that my intention to help people through storytelling is coming true, and see it connecting with readers all over the world." Rossi says.

A professional book review by OBC, reads, "A Night at the Monte Carlo is a tale of love expertly intertwined with friendship and adventure. Rossi brilliantly executes the first-person perspective throughout the story, as Emma's distinct voice takes control in narrating events. The first aspect of the book I like, and I am sure most readers will agree, is the characters that the author offers throughout the story, my favorite being the main character, Emma. Her story of coming from nothing and aspiring to become successful immediately made her relatable to me, but it was her self-awareness and ability to step out of her comfort zone that made me fall in love with her."

The review continues, "Throughout the story, Emma divulges bits of who she is, and we see her continuously observe and pick up lessons from her friends and surroundings, including lessons on the significance of gratitude, practicing empathy, and living fully in the present. Those lessons were highlights of the story for me, and some of them were very hilarious. Emma's observant nature also shines through while she takes the time to describe events in detail, which is key because we join her on trips to London and a couple of cities in France, and she does well to give us a wonderful tour of these places while she experienced them. Trent is also a lovable character, and while readers will have to read for a while before they meet him, it will be well worth the wait. He is the perfect gentleman, and I could literally feel the instant connection between him and Emma. Nevertheless, with Emma's past failed relationship, I was left to wonder if this one would work out or not, especially considering how quickly things moved and the long distance between them. You will have to pick up a copy of this suspenseful book to find out the fate of their relationship. I also liked that the author focused more on the emotional connection between both characters over the physical or sexual aspects... The story ends in a way that guarantees that there will be a sequel to the book, and I very much look forward to reading it."

When asked about the OBC's professional review, Rossi said she actually loves reading all of the comments and reviews. "This one [from OBC] in particular was special to read. They hit all of the main points I was hoping to get across... it couldn't have been better."  

More good news for the book includes a potential movie deal for "A Night at the Monte Carlo" as IMDB.com currently has the tale listed as being in pre-production. Fans will have to wait and see as Emma and Trent may make their way to the silver screen.

When asked about the rom-com's impending sequel mentioned in the OBC review, "New Years in Paris", Rossi says in the final stages of publication and hopes to have it out this summer.
