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.

This is a constant issue the author has along the series, giving their female lead to much of a dark background, which makes the book seem superficial about the issues they portray. I don't think what the author wrote was disrespectful, but a romance novel isn't the place to develop a plot about taking a sexual abuser down. It may seem out-of-touch and very awkward to read.

“Fear is a powerful motivator, but so is love.”

I loved the first Bromance Book Club book, and I decided to read the rest of the series while memories of the characters are still fresh. Add the fact that I really liked Braden Mack's character in the first book, and I've been looking forward to read Undercover Bromance. It's true that Liv wasn't my favorite character in the first book, and I'm still not that big of a fan of her in this sequel, but thanks to Mack and the rest of the characters I still had a brilliant time reading it. I didn't expect this story to be quite so serious, as it has a heavy focus on sexual assault and power imbalance at the workplace. I liked how the topic was incorporated into the plot though, and I was rooting for them as they try to bring the bastard down. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is probably because of Liv; her stubbornness and attitude made it very hard to like her character, and it took way too long for her character to fully redeem herself. I absolutely loved Mack's character though, as well as the rest of the book club members and the new characters incorporated. I literally flew through this story, and I already can't wait to read the next book and learn more about Alexis.

Loved this book! Full of tropey goodness, lots of humor, wit, and feminism. Plus a rooster with an attitude and a Russian hockey player with digestive issues.

One of my favorite things about this series is how real the problems are between the couples. In this book, both the MCs have dad issues; Liz pushes people away before they can hurt her, which makes her abrasive and causes her to steamroll others. Mack is so scared he'll become his father that he doesn't let anyone see the real him, only the curated version he wants them to see.

I really appreciated the enemies-to-lovers story, especially by giving them a reason to be around each other and some real stakes -- stopping a serial sexual harasser and misogynist. I like that they had limited ideas and resources; it felt realistic instead of a spy thriller or mystery/suspence.

This book was cute, steamy, funny, and emotional; it would make a great summer read/beach read or a quick and fun anytime romance.
