5.0

These books have no business being as fun as they are. You don't need to read the first one to enjoy this one, but it doesn't hurt to start at the beginning to get a good feel for the characters. These are the books I read between other books, because they are fast, light, and fun. This one has some serious things going down, but the ending is a good one.

I just love this series, they are so funny and heartfelt. I love that Mack and Liv both found their match and someone that can see through all of their crap.

Did they really turn the national anthem into something I’ll never hear the same way again?!
I had a big gap between the first one and this one and didn’t really feel like it was a big deal. Definitely read them in order because couple spoilers but otherwise not super important to remember every detail of the previous book.

Also the Russian?
Relatable babe. Cheese and milk products🥲💀

I loved Mac. I love that a man who grew up with an abusive father taught himself how to be a man women deserve by reading romance novels. He wanted to learn how women want to be treated and spoken to and he became the founder of the book club. He’s so sweet. He made it his mission to save marriages and he “bought a castle for a princess who didn’t exist yet” 😭 like please. I love him.

I loved Liv. I see so much of myself in her. Her trust issues, her sarcasm. The way she pushes people away when they get too close. Her fiery passion for justice.

Even her blind spot of unwittingly judging other women for not handling abuse the same way she did/would. I felt her righteous indignation in my gut when she called Alexis out for letting her work for Royce after she knew what he was like. Alexis DID put her in danger by refusing to speak, whatever her reasoning. I get her anger. I DO think we have an obligation to other women even if it’s hard for ourselves to talk about. So Liv’s blind spot is my blind spot too I guess, because I still feel that way even now. I would have had the same conversation they had but truly… I could never do that to a friend. If that’s what she needed to do for herself, fine. But she would also have to accept the consequences of that, which is the end of our friendship as I can no longer trust you to have my best interest or safety at heart the way I do for my friends. Loyalty and trust is everything. I don’t know how they moved past that plot point so quickly. I’m hoping to grow to love Alexis during her book which is up next in the series.

The progression of their relationship and their bantering and friendship was priceless and precious. I love them.

What a way to level up from the first book! I LOVE IT. The things that bothered me on the first book were toned down and that made the reading much better for me, dialogues were improved, the tone matched the plot, things didn't felt out of place...

Liv and Mack are just great and I love them, as characters, as a couple, as partners, as everything they offered me in this book. It's funny, delightful, heart-warming, and hit in all the right spots. The new characters were such a solid addition (I confess I was afraid to be stuck in the same circle of characters as it seems to be the case in the romance books I've read before). Even the rooster and the hens are a great touch, not even joking here.

And I love Liv. What a woman, Mack is lucky to have her.

This book wasn’t my favorite, and I’m nervous to continue this series. Liv’s character was SO frustrating. She wasn’t willing to let anyone in (which makes sense because of her background) but still. Brandon is the most loving and kind man and she didn’t hear him out during the third act break up. That, by the way, was dumb. Terrible. Such a stupid reason to break up with a man. I wouldn’t break up with a man because of that.

It was a frustrating read, but I would still recommend because the friendship the Bromance have with each other is touching and shows what support between men should look like. Hyping each other during a rough break up or hard time in a marriage. To be there and listen. That what I love about this series. Vlad, aka the Russian, is also too funny. He’s probably one of my favorite characters 💙

I really enjoyed but I feel like the essence of the Bromance Book Club from the original book was missing a little bit, as well as the short excerpts that were included about the romance book the guys would be reading in the club. I did love the different take on a romance novel, since this story was not all about Mack and Liv, but also a huge side plot playing along.

This series always leaves me crying because the way the friendships are represent feel really wholesome to me. Besides, the way the main characters develop to be able to be together is a huge important point for me, and Lyssa Kay Adams just does it the right way in my opinion.
