I liked this one even better than the first! It deals with some really heavy and triggering topics though, but I think it was well handled.

simonnesays's review

I knew something was wrong when some of the women in the story were described by their height and weight. The , it took a bad turn when the group decided to take matters into their owns hands after a SA victim decided against coming forward. To be fair, I was listening to the audiobooks so maybe the narrator put me off.

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 💙

Super cute enemies to lovers. Pastry chef and night club owner bump into each other. They work to take down a horrible man and end up falling for each other.

I really enjoyed but I feel like the essence of the Bromance Book Club from the original book was missing a little bit, as well as the short excerpts that were included about the romance book the guys would be reading in the club. I did love the different take on a romance novel, since this story was not all about Mack and Liv, but also a huge side plot playing along.

This series always leaves me crying because the way the friendships are represent feel really wholesome to me. Besides, the way the main characters develop to be able to be together is a huge important point for me, and Lyssa Kay Adams just does it the right way in my opinion.
