What a sweet romance, with such a unique plot. Vlad was such a cartoon in the rest of the series, so it was great to dive deeper into his character here. He really developed into a lovable, multi-faceted guy who was impossible not to root for. Elena, unfortunately, didn't quite do it for me. Her character, motivations, and actions were all over the place, and I really didn't feel like I knew her at all beyond as a plot point. Nevertheless, this was a fun addition to the series, and I loved being back with the Bromance Book Club. The silly parts didn't quite hit home for me (really, The Cheese Man?) but I loved seeing the guys back together again and being awesome. Here's to the Russian!

This was a good entry in the series. I’m glad that the one character who’s previously been a vehicle for fart jokes gets some depth in this book. I also liked that the third act conflict felt actually meaningful, compared to in other romance novels.
