"There’s a big difference between letting someone go because you have faith that they’ll come back to you and letting someone go because deep down you’re convinced they won’t. One is an act of love, the other an act of fear"
I still can't believe it took me this long to discover the Bromance Book Club books, but now that I've started reading them I can't stop. The previous book was a bit of a letdown, but I had very high hopes for Isn't It Bromantic? because I love Vlad's character. And guess what? This is without doubt my new favorite of the series! I absolutely adored this story, and it was a perfect fit for me despite the sexy time. I love a good slowburn romance, and that is exactly what this sequel delivers. We also (finally!) get another book within a book element again, and it's a WWII fiction story at that so a double bonus. Vlad (the Russian) was already such a great character in the previous books, but I've grown to love him even more in his own story. Elena made for such a great character as well, and I really enjoyed getting to know them better and watch them grow. Sure, they are both extremely stubborn, which can get a bit frustrating... But as a whole somehow it didn't bother me too much. There was so much to love in Isn't It Bromantic?, including the banter and bond between the book club members, the Cheese Man, the Loners, the mystery around the disappearance of Elena's death, the book, the Russian food... And I can go on and on. I loved every single minute of this sequel, and it's one that is going to be hard to beat for the title of favorite of the series. I'm still looking forward to Colton's book though!

Also, Gavin’s stutter is back. I greatly appreciated this.
