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 💙

“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.

I love this books

I always start my reviews like that but it’s true I love the feminism from EVERYONE (well technically not Hop but he gets there) and I love Mack (is he still mack or Braden now idk) and Liv (totally get her insecurities) Vlad/ The Russian made me giggle so much he’s a cutie patootie pie even with the gas he is. the boys bromance is adorable and how much they care for each other. I don’t think i’ll read Thea and Gavin’s book i’m not one to like a “second chance” romance but i might like Alexis and Noah’s but I hope there is more for the rest of the guys stories 

Hop giving Liv the book that Mack gave him is super cute and such a nice way to show how much he cares about her without saying it. you know like his actions mean more then words that saying how ever it goes. 

Rosie and Livs talk made me cry (not even kidding I sobbed this was I’m pretty sure my first time crying over a book too)

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.
