Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

I had such high hopes and in the beginning they were met, exceeded even. Then all hell broke loose.
Why the actual fuck was Mack’s “lie” about his past used as the main point of the conflict. Liv felt so absurdly childish there I almost dnfed at over 70% completion (something I never do). Mack clearly hid his past and ties to a fucking murderer and abuser to move away from that part of his life. He has a public image and owes nothing to his father so why the hell would he keep his name?? And Liv had no right to be angry at this because they honestly barely knew each other there was no time for that to come out. And she didn’t tell him every gorey detail of her past so why did she except that in return? And why did Vlad seem to gain his name at the end? It seemed like because he *finally* did something helpful (heavy of the sarcasm) that he was upgraded from “the Russian” to an actual name. Is it just me or should calling people by their name or preferred name be common practice and not something that has to be earned? Okay phew anyways.
I really really really did enjoy the first two thirds of this book. I was in love with it honestly. That’s the only reason for the semi high rating but I feel like the last third was such a disappointment. Super sad about that and really hope the next book is  better especially because I loved Noah’s character is this one (though I thought the same about Mack and still do).
